Aladdin could have used some similar advice when making his wishes.

This weekend I gamed, I gamed hard.  We played Fury of Dracula(amongst others). In the end I/Dracula was cornered in Hamburg.  I had a card that caused a hunter to lose all their items if entering a port city.  There’s a caveat that if  there is an encounter in the city that the card doesn’t work.  It was ruled at the table that my being there as Dracula constituted an encounter.  I had planned to be corned, and to ruin Mina’s day by taking away the two sharpened sticks that had no business being on her person.  I made a joke about how if only my customs officials could perform an accurate search I would have won the game.  Tina replied with “What I’m hearing is: ‘If I would have played better I would have won.”  This is Dracula’s 9/11.  That terrorist Mina is always smuggling contraband around Europe and I’m sick of it.  Although Tina’s trolling of me at the end of the game made me fall in love with her as much as it did anger me, so her faction remains the same and I can go another night without punching her in her sleep.
