Battle Lines - The End is Near!

echiang777@yahoo.com

With a scant few days left for the latest storyline event, now is your
final chance to influence the fate of the Bloodlines!

[CLAN TOTALS]

12 Baali
11 Kiasyd
6 Salubri
5 Salubri Antitribu
4 Daughters of Cacophony
4 Gargoyles
4 True Brujah
3 Ahrimanes
3 Nagaraja
1 Blood Brothers
0 Abomination
0 Harbingers of Skull
0 Samedi

--> The Baali are still in the lead but just barely. The Kiasyd have
gradually chipped away at the lead and could make a final sprint to
take the overall victory. The last few events may very well tip the
balance between the Baali vs. the Kiasyd. The Salubri/!Salubri have
also done quite well.


[FACTION]

(Arbitrarily assigning +'s and -'s to show margins of affiliation)


[TEAM LILITH]

+12 Baali (all 12 Bahari, duh!)
+3 Kiasyd (7 Bahari vs 3 Loyalist)
+3 Salubri Antitribu (4 Bahari vs 1 Loyalist)
+1 Ahrimanes (2 Bahari vs 1 Loyalist)
+1 Nagaraja (2 Bahari vs 1 Loyalist)

[UNDECIDED, a.k.a. "I'd rather watch the Twilight Premiere"]

0 Daughters of Cacophony (2 Bahari vs 2 Loyalist)
0 Gargoyles (2 Bahari vs 2 Loyalist)
0 Abomination (depressed in Harano Gloom)
0 Harbingers of Skull (overslept in Kaymakli)
0 Samedi (stranded in the Caribbean cause of the oil spill)

[TEAM CAINE]

-1 Blood Brother (1 Bahari)
-2 Salubri (2 Bahari vs 4 Loyalist)
-2 True Brujah (1 Bahari vs 3 Loyalist)


--> Except for the Baali, most of the Bloodlines clans are still
within a few victories of changing their mind. In fact, a single win
could sway the balance for 8 of the Bloodlines clans. And since the
Baali/Kiasyd are in a tight struggle for the win, just about every
remaining storyline result can make a big difference!

So keep those results pouring in and now is your last chance to run a
final Battle Lines storyline to determine the fate of your Bloodlines
clan! It should be interesting to see where the chips end up
falling....

Awesome work Eric,

I'd much rather see the elflings win this over the demons so I'm
hoping there will be one-two more wins in the bag for them in the
following days :]

Of course it'd be a lot more fun if Salubri Antitribu or some other
clan would have won the whole thing all-together but you cant have
everything ;)

Yeah, I wouldn't mind seeing the Kiasyd pull an upset. Though I do
hope the Kiasyd continue to stick with Team Edward (Lilith). Heck,
even the Abominations have shunned Team Jacob (Caine)!

It would certainly have been fun if the Salubri Antitribu, or
Nagaraja, or even Abominations had managed to win! :-)

In Rio the Janeiro (4/17) winned the Kiasyd (Bahari, Isanwayen). But
wasn't confirmed by the organizers.

Last call. The standings should be up to date with reports I am aware
of. If there are any more events to report today is the day to send
them to vtesstory@white-wolf.com.

I would be really intrested in that decklist. Could you post it here
or somewhere where one might look?

Man. You always seem to be doing better than me with, like, the same
decks. I'm currently playing a similar one that looks kind of like this:

3x Baroque (7) THN, NEC, obf, for, aus
2x Brigitte Mandisa (5) NEC, thn, obf, for
1x Rashid Stockton (4) obf, Black Hand
3x Lubomira Hradock (3) OBF, Black Hand
3x Angel Chavarria (3) THN

6x Wider View
1x Direct Intervention
1x The Coven
1x Fame
1x Charisma
1x Mob Connections
1x Giant's Blood
1x Vessel
1x Perfectionist
1x Forschritt Library
1x Drop Point Network
1x Failsafe
1x Houngan

12x Reanimated Corpse
6x Shambling Hordes
4x Under My Skin
2x Hag's Wrinkles
1x Pressing Flesh
8x Cloak the Gathering
6x Veil the Legions
1x Confusion of the Eye
4x Soak
4x Hidden Strength
1x Trochomancy
8x Truth in Ink
6x Off Kilter
2x On the Qui Vive
1x Poison Pill
3x Camera Phone
1x Ivory Bow
1x Sawed Off Shotgun
1x The Unmasking

Relative to your deck, I lack most of the multi action, but have smaller
minions. And added killing potential from Baroque with a Shotgun (who is
surprisingly effective). The Trochomancy is in there primarily to mess
with Ashur Tablet tech. Or the Imbued. But a surprise +1 bleed never
hurts either. The Wider View work great in a deck like this, where you
have so few different minions, so I regularly get the 4 main ones in
play, and even get back up Black Hand member Rashid in play if I'm doing
well, and between the 6 Wider View and the 6 Off Kilter, the deck has
some not insignificant bloat. The Pressing Fleshed re-reanimated
Shambling Hordes is kind of super awesome. The "Lubomira stands around,
hands out stealth, and reduces bleeds a lot" aspect of the deck is
really quite effective.

It isn't, like, the best deck ever or anything, but it has been doing
reasonably well in local casual play (wins occasionally). I keep trying
to monkey with the crypt, but as both Brigitte and Angel are G6, I have
to lose both of them to be replaced with Abebe and Mcoute (assuming I
want to keep Baroque and Lubomira), which doesn't add much other than
less THN and more expensive guys. Stupid Toy being so generally
useless...

Little Mountain Cemetery makes a huge difference. Pete Oh played
Matt's deck on one of the days of Origins, and it was the prey that
wouldn't die in spite of never blocking my bleeds of 6 per turn.

Yeah, I guess that it would--Matt has a lot of Coroner's Contacts to
get guys in his uncontrolled region and then LMC to put blood on them
all the time. But I can't imagine that it would be *that* much more
effective in the long run than the same number of Off Kilters. But I
suppose of you have, like, 5 uncontrolled guys and the Baron plays LMC
every turn and untaps basically for free with the LMC/Freak Drive,
that *is* a lot of pool.
