French National Championship - About Reversale of Fortune and Madness Network

Well, despite the fact that I pretty much agree with your analysis, Vincent, and think that it is stupid to watch people play (but in fact it's stupid the same with other decks imho), your statement of the fact that players don't get to play is false:

- game one, despite the 3/2 losing deal, all players still played their turn and I did not call any reversal of fortunes after the deal was accepted (the reason of the deal at the beginning was that I could not call them on that table)
- game 2, my prey played, my little prey was you and you got to play several turns during that game. I did not offer a turn 2 losing table, that's also a false statement. I offered a losing deal after my prey has had 3 vampires out including Gotsdam (congrats to the guy who found out about him) and Neighbor John. By that time, you also had Giotto Verducci and Lucinde Alastor. You had turns to play and offer me something, like backrushing my prey. Your deck could not do that, thus the reason why I offered a deal (another reason was that my predator was playing stealth/spell of life and I might have been dead in 3 turns).
- game 3 I made a deal with my little prey and we all got to play on the table. My predator missed me for one pool at some point, then for one stealth at some point. My ally broke the madness network cross-tabled, my prey played 50 cards in that game despite not being dealing with me.
- in the finals, I could not play so everybody else could

in the end, I played 4 rounds so 16 opponents against me and they all got at least 2 turns of play:
-> two got two turns
-> one got threee turns
other players could play normally at least five turns

so while I think it is a shame to steal someone's game from him, I think people misinterpret how rare the situation of complete lock is

I think the more important question here is: will you go to the EC?
Note that I don't really care what deck you play.

In fact in round 3 if I remember well my first rush was to one of your vamps with Beast.

Since your prey was more concentrated in ousting me, than dealing to try and eliminate you from the table, my only chance of maximizing my VPs and not doing 0 was dealing with you.

Obviously, if Mattias would have been interested in dealing 3/2 loose with me I would have accepted, but I don't think we wold have managed to arrive at that point since you would be dead before I arrived to be your predator.


It's true that it's a horrible deck to play against, but it's easily stoppable too. +1 intercept or votes on the table end the combo easily.

It was a pleasure playing with you.

I did not win so I won't come logically
