Reporting back from the NAC (3): LCQ Finals

Hi folks!

Frankie agreed to write a summary of the LCQ finals. Here you go:

Seating was:

Adam Hulse (AUS weenie/midcap block) -> Mark Loughman (Naktorheb Chameleon) -> Darby Keeney (Tupdog) -> Ferenc Vasadi (Lucian the perfect mega bleed) -> ? (PRE weenie bleed)

The presence weenies started strong as expected, but fairly early an Aranthebes by Adam slowed them down. Darby was not attacking Frankie, to let him weaken the presence weenies; after some contemplation Mark influenced out Nakhthorheb only to be torporized by Darby to prevent some minion stealing. After a bleed of nine the presence weenie went down to 6 pool and then Frankie defended Lucian with an Obedience against the Tupdog. The next turn the new Tupdog was stolen by Mark with Chameleon, which "broke the cycle", as Darby had only !Tremere in the uncontrolled region. This enabled Frankie to oust the presence weenie and get an Enkil Cog on Lucian. Adam was in a good position to win, but he failed to draw any bounce cards, so after two big bleeds, he was ousted as well.

This time Mark started to weaken Frankie by banishing and stealing the supporting weenies of Lucian. The Tupdogs took care of the rest. Lucian had bled Mark down to once twice, but a Golconda and a Voter Captivation saved him, giving time for Darby to torporize and diablerize Lucian. After this Mark ousted Darby and Frankie the same turn.

Congrats to Mark Loughman for winning the tournament!
