====== Ropecon 2008 ECQ ====== {{tournament:rc2008-1.jpg|}} The annual [[http://ropecon.fi|Ropecon]] VTES tournament on August 8th was also an EC qualifier this year. We had a grand total of 83 players, which is a step down from last year's 88 but still a hell of a lot of people. Things went very smoothly this year. We were back in the main hall area, so there was (more or less) enough oxygen for everyone though it //was// crowded, as always. Due to the high number of pre-registrations there was extremely little hassle at startup time, and I mananged to get all the tables going at around 6:15pm, nicely on schedule. A big thanks to all the players, once again, for making this a very pleasant tournament to run. There was the usual bunch of rules questions, but nothing came up that totally stumped me -- of course, having the complete rulings set and list of current card texts available on the laptop helps more than a bit. As usual, the variety in decks was huge, and I can't claim to have any sort of overview on what people played this year; I saw all kinds of decks while observing the table play. I don't remember seeing too many Anarch decks with the new cards, I guess that tech is still so new that people aren't familiar enough with it to try it out in a big tournament. Most of the decks in the finals were very fast decks, for what it's worth. The tournament win this year went to **Lasse Pöyry**, playing a fairly traditional (but very efficient) Lasombra bleed machine. Unlike last year's Great Lasombra Fest, Lasse's deck was the only Lasombra one in the finals. The finals were fun to watch, with the first six rounds going //very// fast and people dropping left and right... and then Kari and Lasse settling down for a Nephandi vs Lasombra war of attrition. The final round ended in a draw, Lasse took tournament win due to higher preliminary scoring. 21 players received EC qualifications and also a spiffy ECQ t-shirt (thanks to White Wolf), and also thanks to WW we had a nice pile of boosters and some other stuff for the finalists (Fantasiapelit also donated some gift certificates, thanks in that direction also). Everyone in the tournament got a nice pile of promo cards, and in general I got the feeling people were pretty happy with everything. We had quite a few "oldtimers" returning to the game, and Juho Linna made it to the finals even though he hasn't played much at all for 3-4 years (as far as I know). We also had one of our first international visitors, with Hugh Angseesing trying to lay down the U.K. smackdown on the Finns (with little success). He did get his revenge during the next day's draft tournament, though. :) See below for full results, finalist deck lists, a transcript of the final round, and some more pictures. -- Petri "[[Orava]]" Wessman ===== Players and results ===== The first 21 players (shown in **bold type** below) got EC qualifications. ^ Rank ^ Name ^ Prelim GWs ^ Prelim VPs ^ Final VPs ^ Deck/comment ^ | 1 | **Lasse Pöyry** | 2 | 8.5 | 2 | [[deck:lasse lasombra capitalists|Lasombra Capitalists]] | | 2 | **Kari Vieno** | 2 | 7 | 2 | [[deck:kari nephandus|Nephandi Rules!]] | | 3 | **Juho Linna** | 2 | 8 | 1 | [[deck:juho obf dom|Obfuscate + Dominate]] | | 4 | **Juhani Puska** | 3 | 12 | 0 | [[deck:juhani kill fast or die fast|Kill Fast or Die Fast]] | | 5 | **Antti Tirilä** | 2 | 8 | 0 | [[deck:antti loss bleed|Loss Bleed]] | | 6 | **Miika Karmitsa** | 2 | 6 | | "Let the Beast Man win" | | 7 | **Heikki Palomäki** | 1 | 8 | | "Madness of Authority" | | 8 | **Henri Ketonen** | 1 | 6.5 | | "Domppa" | | 9 | **Tuukka Kallas** | 1 | 6 | | "Violently Mad" | | 10 | **Timo Rekola** | 1 | 6 | | "Ventrue (something) and S/B" | | 11 | **Touko Kästämä** | 1 | 6 | | "Ninja School" | | 12 | **Kari Mäkinen** | 1 | 6 | | | | 13 | **Peter Kaario** | 1 | 5.5 | | "same as last year" | | 14 | **Tomi Parkkonen** | 1 | 5.5 | | | | 15 | **Juha Ivanoff** | 1 | 5 | | | | 16 | **Niko Heinonen** | 1 | 5 | | | | 17 | **Tommi Hakomaa** | 1 | 4.5 | | | | 18 | **Seppo Lipponen** | 1 | 4.5 | | | | 19 | **Tuomas Nyberg** | 1 | 4.5 | | "Malkavian FTW" | | 20 | **Arsi Järvinen** | 1 | 4 | | | | 21 | **Jaakko Penttinen** | 1 | 4 | | | | 22 | Tuomas Vuokko | 1 | 4 | | | | 22 | Are Vaskela | 1 | 4 | | | | 24 | Juho Vuorikoski | 1 | 4 | | "Suicide Kings v2.0" | | 24 | Janne Kilpi | 1 | 4 | | "Nosferatu vote" | | 26 | Joni Huumonen | 1 | 4 | | | | 27 | Ville Saaristo | 1 | 3.5 | | "Pala leipää maksaa 5mk" | | 27 | Lauri Salmi | 1 | 3.5 | | | | 29 | Marko Lindroos | 1 | 3.5 | | | | 30 | Otto Kukkasniemi | 1 | 3 | | "Nephilim on paska bändi" | | 31 | Yann Irissou | 1 | 2.5 | | | | 32 | Janne Lönnqvist | 1 | 2.5 | | | | 33 | Teemu Sainomaa | 0 | 4 | | | | 34 | Taija Sainomaa | 0 | 4 | | | | 35 | Jarkko Suvela | 0 | 3.5 | | "Paskat Ishtrarrit ry" | | 36 | Ari Lensu | 0 | 3.5 | | "As We Die" | | 37 | Jari Mäkikyrö | 0 | 2.5 | | | | 38 | Toni Karjalainen | 0 | 2.5 | | | | 39 | Pasi Karjalainen | 0 | 2.5 | | | | 40 | Otso Turunen | 0 | 2 | | | | 41 | Kirmo Lassheikki | 0 | 2 | | | | 42 | Johan Wahlström | 0 | 2 | | | | 43 | Antti Horelli | 0 | 2 | | | | 43 | Jaakko Liemola | 0 | 2 | | "No Secrets from the Assamites" | | 45 | Marko Saari | 0 | 2 | | | | 46 | Sami Dadu | 0 | 1.5 | | "Cripple Force" | | 46 | Heikki Parviainen | 0 | 1.5 | | | | 46 | Petteri Moisio | 0 | 1.5 | | | | 46 | Kimmo Pekkola | 0 | 1.5 | | | | 46 | Aleksi Nuora | 0 | 1.5 | | | | 46 | Eemil Lagerspetz | 0 | 1.5 | | | | 46 | Ville Kaijasaari | 0 | 1.5 | | | | 53 | Harri Hakkarainen | 0 | 1.5 | | | | 54 | Jouko Loijas | 0 | 1 | | | | 55 | Petteri Teerikangas | 0 | 1 | | | | 56 | Jussi Hattara | 0 | 1 | | [[http://www.secretlibrary.info/index.php?deck=view&id=564|"Power of Jacko's Leathers"]] | | 56 | Johannes Leppä | 0 | 1 | | | | 58 | Mikko Moisander | 0 | 1 | | "Aggravated Assamites" | | 59 | Jussi Ranta | 0 | 1 | | | | 60 | Mikko Hyvärinen | 0 | 0.5 | | | | 60 | Lasse Gustafsson | 0 | 0.5 | | | | 62 | Matti Palomäki | 0 | 0.5 | | "Akvaarion lasi vääristää perspektiivin" | | 62 | Henri Halonen | 0 | 0.5 | | "The Vittupäät" | | 62 | Mika Nurmikolu | 0 | 0.5 | | | | 62 | Antero Hakala | 0 | 0.5 | | "No!

I was the last. I realised that Life Boon as the main method of getting VP's is not solid enough to win titles (I also find out that there is a card called Blood Trade in this game). So, this time I decided to go with dominate. Deck Name: Lasombra capitalists Created By: Lasse Pöyry Description: Trying to bleed without spending all the blood from my vampires. It is good to be blocked every now and then so you are not seen as a table threat. /* I made this deck in 30 minutes and there are some second best solutions just because of my unfortunate but self-inflicted time constraint */ Crypt: (12 cards, Min: 20, Max: 31, Avg: 6,33) ---------------------------------------------- 1 Anton de Concepcion aus ANI DOM OBT POT9 Lasombra 1 Conrad Adoula ani cel DOM OBT POT8 Lasombra 1 Henri Lavenant pot qui DOM OBT 7 Lasombra 1 Tobias Smith pot DOM OBT PRE 7 Lasombra 1 Lord Vauxhall DOM OBT POT THA 7 Lasombra 1 Black Wallace obt tha DOM POT 6 Lasombra 1 Virginie obt DOM POT 6 Lasombra 1 Onaedo aus pot DOM OBT 6 Lasombra 1 Andrew Emory aus dom pot OBT 5 Lasombra 1 Ermenegildo pot DOM OBT 5 Lasombra 1 Banjoko obt pot DOM 5 Lasombra 1 Dame Hollerton myt DOM OBT 5 Kiasyd /* Bottom heavy line of capacities.

Actually I was planning to get blocked every once in a while and thats why I have more combat cards than stealth. */ Ally (6 cards) 6 Nocturn /* These were supposed to be cannon fodder but I dealt differently with rush decks (in round 1 I gave Beast one hour to go forward and get an oust before trying to oust its controller. A deal that was worth it for both of us I think). But they actually served as offence and in the final table Nocturns finished both of my ousts in a single turn. */ /* Card flow was decent and I was quite happy with the balance between modifiers and combat cards. The deck in itself isn't very clever or anything, but 38 dominate cards seems to get the work done. */ ==== Others ==== Deck Name : Nephandi rules Author : Kari Vieno Crypt [12 vampires] Capacity min: 3 max: 5 average: 4 ------------------------------------------------------------ 5x Antonio d'Erlette 5 THA dom for pot !Tremere:4 2x Keith Moody 3 DOM !Tremere:4 1x Janine 4 aus dom tha !Tremere:4 1x Mosfair 4 cel dom tha !Tremere:4 1x Ehrich Weiss 3 dom tha Tremere:3 1x Ember Wright 3 aus dom !Tremere:3 1x Saiz 3 aus dom !Tremere:3 Library [82 cards] ------------------------------------------------------------ Action [8] 1x Aranthebes, The Immortal 6x Computer Hacking 1x New Management Action Modifier [9] 1x Conditioning 6x Empowering the Puppet King 2x Leverage Ally [9] 7x Nephandus (Mage) 1x Ossian 1x Vagabond Mystic Combat [12] 8x Concealed Weapon 2x Dodge 1x Molotov Cocktail 1x Target Hand Equipment [8] 8x Flash Grenade Event [2] 1x FBI Special Affairs Division 1x Unmasking, The Master [16] 4x Blood Doll 2x Direct Intervention 2x Dreams of the Sphinx 1x Jake Washington (Hunter) 3x Life in the City 1x Pentex(TM) Subversion 1x University Hunting Ground 2x Wash Reaction [18] 8x Deflection 4x Delaying Tactics 5x On the Qui Vive 1x Wake with Evening's Freshness creator: Juho Linna Same deck as I played 4 years ago in Ropecon.

From the new cards, I'd add a few copies of "Murmur of the False Will" and "Leverage". crypt(12): 1 Mustafa 2 dom 1 Ohanna 2 dom 1 Samson 2 dom 1 Christine 2 dom 1 Ingrid 4 DOM 1 Gloria 4 DOM 1 Count Ormonde 5 dom,OBF 1 Badr al-Budur 5 dom,OBF 1 Zebulon 5 dom,OBF 1 Didi Meyers 5 DOM,obf 1 Gilbert 7 DOM,OBF 1 Mariel 7 DOM,OBF deck(90): master(11): 6 Dominate 3 Misdirection 2 Anarch Troublemaker action(19): 12 GtU 7 Scouting Mission action modifier(60): 9 Command of the Beast 8 Seduction 8 Conditioning 7 Bonding 3 Foreshadowing Destr. 3 Threats 9 Cloak the Gathering 5 Faceless Night 5 Mask of 1k Faces 3 Lost in Crowds Deck Name : kill fast or die fast - at least I get my lunch break Author : Juhani Puska Crypt [12 vampires] Capacity min: 1 max: 5 average: 1.91667 ------------------------------------------------------------ 1x Calebros, The Mart 5 ANI obf pot prince Nosferatu:2 1x Volker, The Puppet 5 CEL pot prince Brujah:2 1x KoKo 2 pot Nosferatu:1 1x Lupo 2 pot Brujah:1 1x Vasilis, The Trait 2 pre Brujah:2 1x Antoinette DuChamp 1 cel pre Caitiff:2 1x Franciscus 1 aus Caitiff:2 1x Hasina Kesi 1 pot Caitiff:1 1x Julius 1 qui ser Caitiff:2 1x Navar McClaren 1 ani Caitiff:1 1x Nik 1 cel Caitiff:1 1x Smudge the Ignored 1 Caitiff:1 Library [60 cards] ------------------------------------------------------------ Action Modifier [8] 3x Change of Target 3x Closed Session 2x Cryptic Rider Ally [2] 2x Carlton Van Wyk (Hunter) Combat [4] 4x Dodge Master [12] 1x Archon Investigation 1x Creepshow Casino 1x Dreams of the Sphinx 1x Fear of Mekhet 3x Information Highway 3x Life in the City 1x Pentex(TM) Subversion 1x Powerbase: Rome Political Action [34] 2x Disputed Territory 1x Justicar Retribution 23x Kine Resources Contested 1x Praxis Seizure: Amsterdam 1x Praxis Seizure: Barcelona 1x Praxis Seizure: Brussels 1x Praxis Seizure: Chicago 1x Praxis Seizure: Cleveland 1x Praxis Seizure: Miami 1x Praxis Seizure: Rome 1x Praxis Seizure: Stockholm creator: Antti Tirilä Crypt [12 vampires] Capacity min: 1 max: 7 average: 5 ------------------------------------------------------------ 2x Olugbenga 7 OBF QUI ani cel magaji Assamite:4 2x Hafsa, The Watcher 6 OBF QUI aus cel Assamite:5 2x Vardar Vardarian 6 OBF QUI cel pre Assamite:4 2x Kamau Jafari 4 QUI obf Assamite:4 1x Reza Fatir, The Da 6 CEL QUI obf pro Assamite:4 1x Layla bint-Nadr 5 CEL OBF qui Assamite:4 1x Alu 2 obf Assamite:5 1x Basir 1 qui Assamite:4 Library [90 cards] ------------------------------------------------------------ Action [28] 2x Embrace, The 9x Haqim's Law: Leadership 3x Khabar: Glory 13x Loss 1x Web of Knives Recruit Action Modifier [27] 4x Cloak the Gathering 6x Elder Impersonation 5x Faceless Night 5x Lost in Crowds 1x Marked Path 5x Spying Mission 1x Veil the Legions Action Modifier/Combat [6] 6x Swallowed by the Night Event [1] 1x Narrow Minds Master [18] 5x Alamut 1x Black Throne, The 1x Direct Intervention 3x Dreams of the Sphinx 1x Giant's Blood 1x Powerbase: Zurich 1x Underworld Hunting Ground 3x Vessel 2x Yoruba Shrine Political Action [10] 5x Consanguineous Boon 5x Kine Resources Contested ===== Final Round Transcript ===== This is a record of the final round, it does not include every little thing but should contain all the relevant bits. The final round started at 1am. We agreed on the standard 2h time limit, since everyone felt that it should be enough to resolve things.
