THE PEAL SESSIONS
  >An ongoing series of interviews with some of the more interesting and creative players in the world of VTES.

Age: 34
From: Frankfurt, Germany
Favorite clan: Malkavian antitribu - Korah is a big favorite

What is your favorite deck?

I like to play vote decks. I love my Tzimisce vote most, I think, but I always like to play Malk bleed with some tricks - some vote tricks.

For how long have you been playing the game?

10 years, like we all!

How does your local metagame affect your deck design?

We sometimes play with hard bounce, just for training for tournaments, but in our fun games I play everything. Itest more in tournaments than in our fun games.

What other games do you play?

What other hobbies do you have?

Reading, walking, hiking.

What are your favorite bands?

Oh, my favorite bands! That's difficult. I like HIM, I like Metallica, Linkin Park, Abba, Evanescence, Nickleback, Creed - I like Creed very much.

What are your favorite movies?

I like King of Queens - but don't tell anybody! I'm not that much a movie viewer. I like Monty Python films - Life of Brian.

What would you like to see in V:TES?

Nice people! *laughs* I don't much about the World of Darkness, so I can't tell what will come. My main urge is that the game stays as it is in terms of balance, and be careful pushing the game further. I like all the expansions - they are all fun - so I hope that goes on.

How often do you travel to play V:TES?

Once every two months, not very much. I mostly play with my own group.

What decks do you have currently built?

Dominate Potence with some Giovanni, Lasombra weenie Embrace, my
Inner Circle Deck, and my Malkavian deck.

What was it like to totally ace 4 Prince decks in the finals of the 2001 EC using a Derange deck? (Note: Josha won the 2001 EC in Paris)

It was very great! I was the 5th seed when I came into the finals, so I thought, "Ok, nothing to lose!", but then after some Princes get stuck because they had no blood anymore - it was really cool! It was great to win - that was a great thing. I didn't pay that much attention if somebody was pissed 'cause of Deranges.

*Laughs*

But it was very nice - it was a great experience.

Do you have words for your fans out there?

Do I have fans?

Of course you have fans!

Oh, no! Yeah...Keep playing! Have fun! Enjoy the game, and
don't be so hard pressing. Peace!
