Report finals from Visnja (winner) view:

The game started favorably for me and Tremere antitribu since we both introduced our vampires expeditiously. However, seating and decks were such that four of us voters were at each others necks. The sheer number of votes was huge, and made cooperating a necessity.

Very quickly the Anarch Baron deck pressured me almost into death, since at a point it left me with 4 pool. At the same time, my prey Arika met a quick demise by Uta Kovacs, never to return to the ready region. While I was coping with stealh bleed,redirects and Srdjan’s political actions, Goran was influencing another vampire with capacity 11. That’s when the first deal was struck, since my grand predator didn’t want me ousted for obvious reasons but also beacuse of the necessity for my votes. We pressured the Anarch Barons together and ousted them first.

As soon as the new Goran’s massive vampire came into the game, Uta made a quick work of him too. My grand predator who now became my predator and I worked together to oust Goran too. It worked perfectly for me to get the point and pool, and my predator in that way established a total vote domination, and made me one step closer to the dreaded combat deck. However, combat proved to be of no consequence for me, and a big problem for my predator.

As soon as only three of us were left, the deals were off, and deadlock was made. I waited for Petar’s Tremere to make some damage in front, and bided my time. Nikica managed to banish Uta, also a few more politics were voted successfully in his favor, but by the smallest margin since I capitalized on Modius’s ability to discard master cards in referendums.

By the time Uta came back into the game, pool thined significantly, and we allied once again to oust Tremere. My predator with the hope of safety and knowledge that he has vote domination, and me with another point secured and a few things up my sleeve.

And then there were two. Whoever would manage to kill the other would be the ultimate winner. Luckily, by the time this came to happen, we have mostly used up our cards, leading to the fact that Nikica had no more politics to play, and no more stealth to add. I stealth bled him a few times with Toreador’s Loup, and added Aire of Elation, which happened to be enough in this situation.
