I leave on the 19th and come back on the 24th ================================ *** CORRECTION *** I mistakenly claimed that Millicent Smith, Puritan Vampire Hunter was passed from Dave H's control to Josh's control during his discard phase of 3.4. In fact Millicent was passed from Dave H's control to Raille's control, since it goes to predator, not prey. :-) -Josh *** CORRECTION ENDS *** ================================ Josh 4.1 Starting Pool: 24 (-9 xfer, +3 Pranks) UNTAP: No cards...

It looks like the deckserver didn't take my addmove command for my turn 5.1 the first time I sent it, so now turns 5.2 and 5.1 are going to be out of order in the history. Sorry about the confusion. ================================ Josh 5.1 Starting Pool: 20 (-13 xfer, +3 Pranks) UNTAP: Stuff untaps. MASTER: Uh, sadly no. MINION: Marcus Vitel goes to call a vote! Few are surprised! The vote is Political Stranglehold (#78)! Some may be surprised! No one blocks; terms are that all Meths gain 3 pool for each vamp over 7 capacity they control = 3 for me, 3 for Dave B, 3 for Dave H, none for Dave M) and I have 3 votes in favor. It looks like the votes are 3 in favor (2 Marcus, 1 card) and 1 against (1 Jason). The vote passes by 2: I gain 3 pool (-> 23), Dave B gains 3 pool (-> 17), Dave H gains 3 pool (-> 21).

Not even paying for the infernal thing. [Huitzi becomes tapped.] Master: Nothing Minion: Nothing Influence: 1 to bring out Matthias (#3, 7/7), 3 on Mystery Vampire 7! Discard: A horrific countenance. Why did I add that? IT'S 4 BLOOD!!!! Sheesh. Ending Pool: 17 (-20 xfer, -1 infernalism, +5 Pranks, +3 Stranglehold) Done ================================ Josh 6.1 Starting Pool: 21 (-17 xfer, +3 Pranks, +3 Stranglehold, +2 VCap) UNTAP: Stuff untaps. MASTER: Sadly still no. MINION: Marcus Vitel, being a well-known weakling, is intimidated by the local vampire-hunting population and the many sources of intercept around him. He stays in bed this week. INFLUENCE: 3 more on #8 (10/10, Queen Anne enters play, pool -> 18), 1 on #12 (1/?, pool -> 17). DISCARD: I will continue to shamefully neglect my discard phase.

MASTER: Nothing yet... MINION: 1. Marcus Vitel gets saucy and goes to call for Kine Resources Contested! (#17, 1 stealth.) No blocks, terms are 3 points on Dave B and 1 point on Raille. (Sorry Dave, but I think you can afford it. :-) I have 5 votes in favor: 2 Marcus, 2 Queen Anne, 1 from KRC. Dave B's Jason the World's Voice lodges an objection (1 vote against) but is summarily overruled. The vote passes, Dave B loses 3 -> 9; Dave M/Raille loses 1 -> 20. 2. Queen Anne, ever the copycat, wants to do the exact same thing with Kine Resources Contested #2 (card #48). Looks like no blocks, so again terms are 3 to Dave B and 1 to Raille. I have 5 votes in favor, if the only vote against is Jason's, it passes by 4, and Dave B will lose 3, going to 6, while Raille will lose 1, going to 19. INFLUENCE: Spend 1 (pool -> 16) to draw a new vampire (#4). DISCARD: #67, Protect Thine Own. (stupid lack of Justicars and Inner Circle members... :-) Ending pool: 16 (-21 xfer, -1 drawvamp, +3 Pranks, +3 Stranglehold, +2 VCap) And it may now be time for Flamethrower activation... Not in the face! Not in the face! ================================ Dave B 7.2 Starting Pool: 6 (-21 xfer, -1 Dreams, -4 Flamethrower, -6 KRC, +4 Edge, +1 Dreams, +3 Stranglehold) Untap: Gain 1 for the Edge (pool=7) Untap Jason, Cornelius Master: Minion Tap Cornelius for 4 (pool=11) [Cornelius -> 1/8] Minion: 1. Adelaide will bleed JOSH using Night Moves (@+3 stealth) [no block, Josh's pool -> 15] 2. Cornelius will bleed DAVE M for 5. Aabbt #? attempts to block... Cornelius uses Faceless Night to gain +1 stealth, #? stays tapped.

MASTER: Still no masters. MINION: 1. Marcus Vitel, ever the naughty boy, attempts to bleed Dave B for 1. Milo "Invisible" Horror tries to block, but Marcus uses Elder Impersonation (who does he think he is, Arika?) to make that block fail (#75 at [OBF], Marcus -> 9/10). No block from Dave B, the bleed is for 1, if unbounced Dave B's pool -> 10 and I get the Edge. Whee! No more actions for now... Queen Anne is a big fat wimp. INFLUENCE: Transfer 4 to #4 (4/?), pool -> 11. DISCARD: None whatsoever. Ending pool: 11 (-25 xfer, -1 drawvamp, -1 bleed, +3 Pranks, +3 Stranglehold, +2 VCap) ================================ Dave B 8.2 Starting pool: 10 (-21 xfer, -1 Dreams, -4 Flamethrower, -6 KRC, +5 Edge, +1 Dreams, +3 Stranglehold, +4 MTap) Untap: All Master: Game of Malkav: DH and DM gain 1 each [DH -> 14, DM -> 15], J gains 3 [-> 14], DB loses 4.

Assuming its unblocked...

MASTER: Continuing on my no-master theme. MINION: 1. Marcus Vitel, naughtier by the moment, attempts to call Kine Resources Contested (#6) at 1 stealth. Dave B's Milo blocks with Telepathic Misdirection at [aus] (Milo -> 2/3 [-])! Oh NO!!! Marcus has met his match. Millicent Smith, guided by the light of the flamethrower, finds Marcus and removes him (and herself) from this world. 2. Queen Anne, who never liked Marcus anyway, goes to call the other Kine Resources Contested (#42) and hopes that she doesn't meet a similar fate. Mr. Hammond's Matthias uses Forced Awakening to block with his inherent +1 intercept, and Queen Anne is tragically without any additional stealth. Combat ensues. No prerange or maneuver from Queen Anne, who will strike hands for 1. Matthias Blocks her Vitae (Queen Anne -> 7/10) and hits her for 1 as well (QA -> 6/10, Matthias -> 4/7). Combat ends... suck = tastic! INFLUENCE: 4 more onto #4, who stubbornly refuses to make an appearance. My pool -> 10, #4 -> 8/?. DISCARD: #11, Bewitching Oration.

Adelaide will bleed using Night Moves (for 1 @ +3 stealth). DM pool = 9 [Dave B gets the Edge] 2. Cornelius bleeds (for 5 @ 0 stealth). An Aabbt tries to block, Cornelius gets lost in the crowds, DM pool = 4 Influence: None Discard: The Call Ending Pool: 5 (-21 xfer, -1 Dreams, -4 Flamethrower, -6 KRC, -4 GameOM, -2 bleed, +5 Edge, +1 Dreams, +3 Stranglehold, +4 MTap) ================================ Starting Pool=4 (-10 xfer, -25 bleed, -1 Razor, -2 Amam, -3 drawvamp, -2 KRC, +6 Pranks, +4 MTap, +4 BDoll, +1 GameOM, +2 de-back) Master: Millicent Smith Vampire Hunter. :) Pull one from Aabbt#2 0/4, pool=5 Pull one from Aabbt#4 2/4, pool=6 Minion. 1. Aabbt#2 hunts with the Feeding Razor, 2/4 [-] 2. Bane Mummy attacks Cornelius Ottavio with his special. No prerange or manuevers, he's just a simple mummy. Milo will block and use the Flamethrower as a strike... Milo 0/3, Mummy in [Raille's] Library 3. Aabbt#1 will Enchant kindred at SUP to move 2 to #3 4. Aabbt#3 will Enchant Kindred at SUP to move 2 to#2 5.

Matthias plays Renewed vigor for 10 blood on Huitzil. Costs him one blood - now on [3] [H -> 11/11] 2. Nu bleeds for one and untaps [with his ability or Clotho's Gift, either would work]. Now on 7 blood [Josh's pool -> 9, Dave H gets the Edge] Influence: Pay one to see one [pool -> 21] Discard: Horrific Countenance Ending Pool: 21 (-26 xfer, -3 infernalism, -1 drawvamp, +5 Pranks, +3 Stranglehold, +3 BDoll, +1 GameOM, +9 MTap) Basically, I'm now on 21 pool.

MASTER: Secure Haven (#63, pool -> 8) on Queen Anne. Not that it looks like rush is really that much on the table here anyway. MINION: 1. Queen Anne, in what was indeed a futile attempt to justify her astounding living expenses, would like to try to call a Parity Shift (#57). I declare my shock and horror when Matthias plays another Forced Awakening to block that with his +1 intercept. Queenie has no prerange or maneuver; Matthias uses Vitae Block at [OBE] to move 3 of QA's blood off her until his next untap phase (QA -> 6/10). Anne strikes hands for 1, presumably Matthias does the same, QA -> 5/10, M -> 3/7. INFLUENCE: 3 more to #4 (pool -> 5), who finally enters play. It's everyone's favorite vampire, Arika, 11/11! Who doesn't like Arika? No no, put your hands down, it's a rhetorical question. :-) DISCARD: #28, Voter Captivation. Still can't get a vote off!

Master: Blood doll on Milo Move a blood from my pool to Milo (1/3) [pool -> 4] Minion: 1. Bleed with Cornelius (for 5). Some Aabbt will give a whirl. Stealth? Of course! Cloak the Gathering for +1 stealth. (no intercept, Raille = 3) 2. Milo will bleed...blocks? Blocked by Aabbt#4, Milo and Millie Burn. 3. Adelaide bleeds (Raille = 2) 4. Jason bleeds (for 3)...wakes or oust? [Raille is ousted, Dave B's pool -> 10] Influence: None Discard: Minion Tap ================================ Dave H 10.4 Starting Pool: 21 (-26 xfer, -3 infernalism, -1 drawvamp, +5 Pranks, +3 Stranglehold, +3 BDoll, +1 GameOM, +9 MTap) Untap: Pay for Hutizil -1 (pool -> 20) [Vitae Block burns, returning 3 blood to Queen Anne; QA -> 8/10] Master: Dreams of the Shpinx -1 (pool -> 19) [tapping for 2 extra cards till end of turn] Minion: Huitzil Calls the Great Beast.
