Bad beat stories .. these are not only being told in Poker, but in VtES as well. And the excuses why we lost a game of VtES ... I think we heard them all. Here's a categorized list of the most popular ones ...
- The strange excuses:
- My dog ate my deck list, so I couldn't play the deck based on my brilliant idea.
- I forgot what deck I was playing.
- I played a Nagaraja deck.
- I didn't bring my lucky pool counters/edge/..
- I had the sun in front and was dazzled by card sleeves' reflections.
- The technical excuses:
- I didn't draw the right cards (my key cards) at the right time.
- The table seating was not optimal.
- My star vampire wasn't in the start crypt.
- My star vampire was Pentex'ed.
- My key card was DIed.
- The social excuses:
- I was backousted.
- My crosstable "buddies" were against me.
- They split the table.
- I was too tired to play well.
- I didn't want to win ..
- I wanted to try some new deck idea.
- .. and finally, the honest excuses:
- I had no pool left.
- The other played better than I did.
- I suck at this game.
Anything more to add by you, dear readers? Feel free to comment and add yours!

Hey, Hakuron, I used that one last week (along with lots of other excuses, I take no chances)!
"Erik Torstensson's not going to the tournament, so it's not worth to win anyway."
-Bad shuffle
-Bad match-ups
-Other players are stupid and let X win
-Other players are stupid and let X win
-Bad deck match-ups
-Bad number of transfers
"I was stupid, played stupid and did some incredibly stupid things" — more of a reason than an excuse.
"The judge made a bad ruling."
- "X" is broken, where "X" is a card combination like Ashur Tablet's + Liquidation.
- "Y" is broken, where "Y" is a player like Hugh, Matt or Erik.
WoW! Boris, the second one is so true... just heard it like tons of times when I used to play V:tes back in my hometown. Players around there were soooo hardcore! LOL
"I did not want to participate in the endless table talk ..." :)
@ Shimi: Great!
@ Tiago: This one I like most!!
And lately I use another one a lot:
"This deck is simply cursed and so am I for even trying to play with it."
(related to my CEL/PRE w/.44s bruisebleed)
Sad truth is - I just play it like an ass. :-)
"Everybody was afraid of my deck and agreed to oust me first " :p
