Some highlights of what I remember:
The round starts off with Devin influencing to two LARGE Toreadors,
but bringing neither out, having been introduced to the business end
of Assamite assault rifles in an earlier round. The Toreador also
generally found Ray's Yawp Court rather menacing.
This leaves Ray free to Boon and Breed freely.
Mark got War Ghouls and went at Eric.
Eric both drew poorly and was under a lot of pressure by Mark and so
tried a bit unsuccessfully to wall up. At one point, Tom was tapped
out and Eric had enough Dominate on the table and in his hand to oust
Tom, but given the pressure he was under and threat of the Assamite
guns, he let the opportunity slip away.
Tom simply bled Devin while he was minionless, often tapping out
without any way to untap if Eric had pushed.
When Devin finally brings up Francois and Masika, his hand is nearly
a "lay down loner," but he had no votes in hand. By the time he draws
one, his pool is very low and before he can take another turn, Tom
bleeds him out at stealth. Topdecked for Devin was a 2nd Tradition,
which would have saved him, but it was all too late. Tom gets a VP.
Meanwhile, Ray has built himself a large contingent of bad actors to
go with Hektor and it starting to work over Mark. Eric, who has been
beaten up badly by War Ghoul has resigned himself to being someone
else's VP and tries to make a deal with Ray to hang on for him to get
through Mark. Ray ignores him and Mark eventually gets through Eric
to claim his VP.
The six pool Mark gained was merely a stop gap, as Ray had become
strong beating on Mark's pool with KRCs. Mark is ousted shortly after.
Ray gets a VP.
This leaves Tom and Ray. Tom has two minions, Ray has many. Tom has
guns, Ray has Immortal Grapple and Hektor's nasty hands. Tom has no
votes.
Ray ousts Tom for the win.
Ray's Decklist is below. Congratulations to Ray and all the finalists.

Seeing this post prompted me to call Ray. I spoke with him, and
relayed your inquiry.
He approved my posting that he apologizes for his absence, and that RL
has him quite busy of late. He will make an effort to get caught up in
his games in the near future.
librarian
Ok, thanks. We're all missing him and his wacky sense of humor (and
Hilga!), and wanted to be sure he hadn't been hit by a truck or something...
Thanks wookie -
