...As you can see, this deck is a complete mess.  :)  After making the other two decks, I had a pile of votes,
a pile of Fortitude cards, and a pile of Protean cards.  I had no Gangrel with titles other than Angus and
Basilia - but I did have the good fortune of having three of the Ventrue Law Firm.  With two Cryptic Riders
and two Charming
Lobbies, I figured I could get away with having drawn no Bewitching Orations, and had a bunch of "saleable"
votes that I could use to pass the first.  I expected that the only VPs i could get with this deck was to
either wall up with Protean and Fortitude, or Kindred
Restructure behind someone with one or two pool and let the Gypsies do the work.  Anteing the Info Highway
didn't help, and I was frankly pleased to get even half a VP.
