Am I doomed to never pvp? (MET/Larp- the chop system basically)

Hi! I'm new to a group for VTM, a cam chronicle. I joined and have enjoyed playing, but I just got to try combat with them for the first time with a kind teaching partner, but doing so... revealed a problem to me with the larp system.

So, in MET/the larp system, you do rock-paper-scissors for actions for expediency's sake. And if you tie, you get to 'bid' (compare) traits/stats to see who wins.

Well, when I made my character, I adapted a premade sheet that they gave me on my first day. This sheet had no points in their background for generation, so they were the default- 13th. Your generation determines the max traits/stats you can get, and this sheet was already at that cap lol. So I can't progress, and only other 13th generation characters would also have my cap, everyone has more.

So...I lose every tie? And I just started playing! And I can't progress my character stats any more! Already!

I rolled pretty bad, but a 2/3 assured failure rate is pretty bad no matter what I roll (edit: throw? You know, rock-paper-scissors). And you lose a trait for the night only if you lose that tie/bid, but someone with a lower generation will never lose. Only I can lose, so only I can lose traits, and I already had less, so I start below and get lower over time. I can't see any way around it. ...Is there one? Or was I just doomed by getting this premade sheet?

(Diablerie I think is no good since I've never even seen an NPC so far, and I seriously doubt this character *could* even do it to any of the other PCs, before we even worry about getting away with it after the fact)
