Reclaiming old habits

Although I have decided to quit competitive VTES from time to time I will try to catch up a game or two. Just two days ago i have played four games. My decision to occasionally play also included to play only fun decks. So I played in my first game a Nergal/Horde rush deck that failed miserably since its predator was a Follower of Set bleed/enticement/corruption deck and I didn't pull Rotschreck/Flames in time. Second game was OK and my Salubri wall produced some VP's. Next deck I played was a Lasombra vote deck that had an awesome beginning but was shut down by Anneke. I managed to get a VP. Last game I played a super fun Petaniqua and werewolves deck that abused the rule that she can employ any werewolf ally. Almost got more than 1 VP but the Akunanse wall proved his mettle.

It was fun to play VTES again but it showed I was correct in my decision to stop playing it on a larger time basis since the amount of people or attitude didn't change. For a healthy and competitive VTES you need new players and new decks. Latter is easily done but first is very hard. Since it's not a live game anymore and its production stopped VTES is a dead game. Only enthusiast or lore interests will play it. For me it only serves as a occasional leap of memory.
