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

I'm a long time gamer, since may, or june 1995. I've been seduced immediately by the diplomatic and strategic aspect of the game, in my rpg club, near Paris.

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

Dark Sovereigns, strangely...Not for palatial estate lol, but for the europeans vampires, and the mood, old and dark, that the illustrations suggest.

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

I have no special favorite deck. I rarely build deck, and i have the reputation to go playing without any deck. I stole a deck to another player, don't look at it, and just play it, like it come.
But, i prefer combat deck, mass rush. I have a little emotion when playing The Tzim Speed Ghoul deck of stephane lavrut, 'cause i have won my first tournament with it. My version of anson/anarch revolt i've called Spartacus (Every revolt must be punished...) (12 anson, 6 protected resources, 20 anarch revolt) have proved it can be a very powerful weapon, and i 'm quite proud of it.

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

A translation in french, to open up the game to a lot of french people, afraid to invest in a game solely acquirable in english.

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

I have worked since 2000 with Stephane Lavrut, the prince of Paris. I have co-organised a french championship, a european championship, organised another french championship, three others tournament with more than 40 players, and acts as a judge in some others less important tournaments.
In 2002, i have travel a lot : spain, germany, austria. I expect travel to play in italy, spain, germany and, again, belgium this year. I am a pillar of one of the most important newsgroups in french, and send my tournaments reports to parisvekn.com
In fact, if i'm there, it's only because Johannes Walch have some embarrassing pictures of me...

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

Any deck i can catch; but I prefer deck that can act cross-table. For tournament play, i try to adapt to the metagame i can perceive. I often loose my gambit lol. It depends a lot, in fact. We will see that in Barcelona...

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

Not really. I'm as ruthless, and as funny in tournament play that in casual play. I do not let a chance to go back, and i laugh a lot to my own stupidity and mistakes, too...
