Q1: How (and when) did you begin your career as a VTES-player? Who introduced you to the game? Where did you play originally?

In 1998, when a friend of mine gave me his entire collection!

Q2: Which of the Sets and Expansions to VTES is your favorite, and why is it your top choice?

Camarilla Edition, because I love changes in a game, and love Rebecca Guay's artwork, I love the new layout, the new possibilities, the new metagame that this expansion created.

Q3: What is your favorite deck to play, and why?

Miller and Greta's goth show
(http://sabbatinfrance.free.fr/en/display_deck.php3?id=0000017) Because I love intercept decks, and I really like Miller and Greta. Because I kept a Palla Grande in play nearly two hours thanks to Goth Band. And because that was the deck I played in my only won tournament =)

Q4: If you could add something to the game, what would it be?

Foil Vampires (like LOTR cards, they are really beautiful), experienced Vampires due to storyline (like L5R).

Q5: What do you do to help promote the game / why are you in this list of people?

I write articles in a CCG french magazine, Lotus Noir (some of them are online on http://myvtes.free.fr/strategy/strategic.html)
I organise tournaments with my Prisci friends (reports on
http://sabbatinfrance.free.fr/en/old_tournaments.php3)
I built with my friends a VTES website, in english/french version

Q6: What is your favorite deck style for casual play / tournament play?

casual : combo-that-never-works decks
tournament : tricky decks, combo-that-worked-once decks, table-control decks

Q7: Is there a difference between your casual play and tournament play?

Yes. I prefer to play funny/tricky decks with my friends, and *very* effective decks in tournaments. The best deck I ever played in a tournament is "Turbo Arika" (much discussed on rec.games.trading-cards.jyhad) at Watford on July the 30th, 2001.
