Five of us gathered to gain the Imperator title for our clan, each keen to secure the power that it held.

Game 1
Graham Malk Anarch Barons > Sam 4/5 Tremere > Paul 4/5 Brujah > Stevan 4/5 Toreador > Kieran Malk Weenies with high cap support

A long game with people building up slowly. The Imperator deck helped and hindered in equal measure, with the extra discards being used to cycle some of the more painful cards away. Graham went Anarch with his Malks, who then slowly built up votes. I bought out Gabrielle di Righetti, along with Dr John Dee and Zane for a total of six votes. Paul managed to get himself three votes, along with a number of Boons which gave him additional votes. Stevan had a number of primogen for some voting power, while Kierans power rested on Lutz von Hohenzollerns shoulders. This meant that any vote required much talking to get anywhere. I probed forward although my combat was weak against the big strikes Paul could muster – especially as my hand normally consisted of Deflections and Governs. Paul defended, while Stevan built up a little and sent some bleeds forward. Kieran managed to build up a number of minions which kept the pressure up – along with Lutz special kicking off on each successful vote. Graham fell, and I fell soon after. Paul was on the ropes as time was called.

Win
Kieran 2.5vps GW, Paul 0.5vps, Stevan 0.5vps, Graham 0vps, Sam 0vps.

Game 2

Stevan 4/5 Toreador > Paul 4/5 Brujah > Kieran Malk Weenies with high cap support > Graham Malk Anarch Barons

Slow build up (but not as slow as the first game) . Lots of Boons were played again. Steven got Paul down to 4 pool. Paul got Kieran down to 2 pool. In one turn I ousted Steven with 2 bleeds of one. Then Petra Baron of Boston called a Reckless Agitation to oust Paul and Kieran at the same time. Giving 1 VP to Paul and 3 to me.
Lots of vote negation required at the start of the game again.

Win
Graham 3vp GW, Paul 1vp, Steven 0vp, Kieran 0vp

Results
Graham 3vps GW
Kieran 2.5vps GW
Paul 1.5vps
Stevan 0.5vps
Sam 0vps

So a good result for Graham – don’t think it is worth trying to get another game played to add to the results. Just need a little information to complete the below list and I will be ready to post it up.
