Elder vampire or master vampire

[Trueprofanity]

Am I the only one who feels like elder vampire should apply to a 1000 plus vamp. That 500 plus is a Master Vampire. 300 plus should count as young master vampire... not elder vampire..

A 1000 Year-old vampire is just a tasty as a 500 Year-old vampire

Elder means clan elder. At 300 years, the clan cares about what you think about things and the younger members take you seriously. Jack from BL1 is around that age and he's an elder. Everyone at the Last Round respects him

"The term Elder is used in Vampire: The Masquerade to denote the status of a kindred who has experienced 300 years of unlife. In Vampire: The Requiem, it is for 150 years of unlife. "

So when they say experienced... does sleeping count as experience?

I'd say no. In the extreme case, a fledgeling stuck underground for 300 years definitely doesn't get to be an elder for just waking up. Which gives more support to your theory in the other thread that the torpor probably was just a small fraction of those years.

Well yes there should be more honorary denotations after elder, given Methuselah requires being gen 4/5. Also people need to keep in mind especially for the Americas 250 is the starting line for elder.

Though for this game this would put us at somebody from at least 1723-1773. Could be slightly more though given, any sort of long term torpor tends to not count for being an elder. Thus it may be we only recently entered torpor, such as during the kuejin invasions of the west cost around 2000. Not to mention it seems unlikely we'd play as somebody so out of time computers and cell phones are a mystery.

Think Samus in Metroid. You gotta get all your powers back.
