Elf-vampires

No. That's a Tolkien thing. (Hence why everyone seems to take it as mantra)

And Skyrim!

Also, in Skyrim, I was a vampire elf for a while, but I cured myself when it got boring.

Oh god no.

The point isn't that other lore allows elven vampires, it is that we don't. Pointing out that other lore allows it means nothing at all.
As far as half-humans, they can not be infected. Once 'bitten', their other half overrides the disease.

I'm gonna go all Devil's Advocate on this, because I still feel the answer should be no, but:
Pointing out that other lores allow it actually does mean 'something', that being that it can work and can be enjoyable when done correctly. What you've said is kinda like saying,
"Hey, I realize the rest of the world is using the metric system, but we don't. So pointing out that they do very well with it means nothing to your suggestion of using it."
Similarly (and much more arguably) "I realize many cities have little to no gun control, but we do. So pointing out that those cities have significantly less gun crime and violence than we do is completely meaningless to your suggestion of removing it."
Now, having the opinion that just because they do well with it doesn't mean we will, or that we even should, is perfectly acceptable. But saying that fact is meaningless is rather wrong. Especially since the fact given actually is the entire meaning behind the suggestion. Because other countries successfully use metric, perhaps we should? Because other cities fare better without gun control, perhaps we shouldn't. Because other lores still enjoy vampires of other races, maybe ours should too.
It's just that the meaningful reasons not to add them outweigh the reasons to add them.

There are so many pink cloud ratings on this thread, you can create a new layer of the atmosphere.

Kinda. We have our own lore. Other people's lore has nothing to do with ours, though we may sometimes take inspiration.
Lore isn't like rights or laws, its art, its a story. Meant to be unique.
Obviously the majority of respected RP staff and lore developers don't agree, I'm quite surprised anyone is still advocating for this to happen.
And yes, reasons of why not obviously outweigh the reasons why should.
Besides, the disease is meant to be rare. End of, really. Not going to happen any time soon.

Why. Just... why.

I think you need to work on the stealth stuff. For my first drink, I was waiting in the basement of an occupied house, and I waited for about half an hour, used a vampire power to turn invisible, walked clean through the sightlines of two people,drank from the one in the bed, and then dashed for the exit. I felt badass.

An afterthought, were you a working on stealth? It's impossible for anyone who isn't.

Well, how did you expect to get by as a vampire, when it's impossible for you to get to them while they are asleep?
