aha. the version i got in email from the vtes yahoo group didn't have tabs, and was a little confusing since i am not quite up to speed on the names of the newer vamps and so thought some players might be vamps, heh.
however, this version here looked fine to me in my newsreader (Thunderbird).
also, cool report. seems fairly easy to collect the info for something like this, but gives more of a feel for the actual games. Thanks for going to the effort to do this, Jeff. :)
ps: any chance of seeing oscar's tzim deck?

Hi, just one dumb question, how come did David Shoup played with an irregular crypt and (i presume) nobody noticed?!? Or did you have any special rules regarding this?
In round 2 you wrote that he had Tara (group 5), Carlak (group 5) and Horatio Ballard (group 3) ?!?
Good report thou, cheers Ricardo Marta Prince of Lisbon Portugal

Seems infinitely more likely that Jeff just accidentally recorded the game state incorrectly. Especially as those vampires have virtually nothing in common.

Yes, he appears to have an illegal crypt.

They have Presence in common, and can all be princes. He played HB, then Ventrue Headquarters, then called the vote to become prince of Chicago.
It is unfortunate that it was not caught by the players at the table nor by the judge.

I don't know, but since from round 1 he used: Victor Pelletier Mukhtar Bey Mustafa, The Heir
He has presence, fortitude, dominate and probably celerity to use Scalpel Tongue. They are all Princes (well, Pelletier can became one or a Justicar) and Horatio can became a Prince too.
I've seen a similar deck but without Tara or Carlak, that's why i asked...

Yeah, I stand corrected. Jeff's records were correct, and deck had an illegal crypt. Good thing it didn't win :-)

I'll be dropping Jane Sims for a less crappy vampire. I'll probably go with 3 or more of the Count. His cycling special was key. Maybe switch the war ghouls, fiendish tongues and the TtCB for more Deep Songs.

Other legal reasons include Hostile Takeover. Graverobbing. Can think of other reasons, but those are the most likely.
