EDIT: To get in on the fun and embed images in your post, paste a direct link to the image itself's web address within the img tags. For example, embedding an image generated from quickmeme will look like this: [ img]i.qkme.me/3pwx53.jpg[/img]. Just remove the space in the first img tag and change 3pwx53 to your image number. (Right click > Image properties, or whatever it's called in your browser. You can then get the direct link.)

And, if anyone reports her or w/e she is allowed to do whatever she wants with them outside of lethal action unless they are obviously with the ponies. Also, be warned, teenage boys have been infected by the Pony Plague. Just check out this scout report. But be warned... it is terrifying.

Technically, it shouldn't have to, though it probably could use a clarification. Possession specifically indicates that you gain any cards the possessed player would have gained. It says nothing about any sorts of tokens. If you played a Pirate Ship while possessing your opponent and used the attack, your opponent would gain the PS token too.

Good Guy Greg just doesn't work in 2p in terms of in game interactions.
Anything good for you is bad for him and vice versa.
(Game situation)
Smoking Face
(Takes supotimal move)
My inner game theory knowing nerd can't let this fly.
What non-zero sum good can Greg really do? Encourage opponents to resign when he knows he has them beat with a torturer lock down, rather than encourage them to suffer? Not play at one move per 2 minutes when losing? Gently explain an opponents bad decision after the game?
Of course, 3p+ can be more interesting:
plays Spy, has you discard Tunnel repeatedly, later steals some Gold from you. You both might get an advantage over the 3rd player in that situation.
Plays Militia after your Council Room in 3p+? The 3rd player discards 3, you only discard 2.

As far as I can tell, BM/Milita beats Milita/Tunnel (followed by money and possibly more Tunnels) on 4/3 openings pretty comfortably according to the simulator. I feel like I'm allowed to ruin the joke as I had a leoinception joke of my own ruined by the stupid simulator earlier ITT :)

If you say it's true, I'll believe you (never having run anything by any simulator before). +1 internets for passing along the joke-ruining. ;D :P
Question: does the simulator take into account the turn order? Tunnel's reaction ability? I assume it would, but I'm curious...

What bots did you use? If I just take the default militia bot in geronimoo's simulator and add in a single tunnel before silver, it appears to crush the default militia bot nearly 70/30.
-
Yep, Militia+Tunnel crushes Militia+Silver. Maybe you're using an older version (with a bug?). Here (http://users.telenet.be/jeroenaga/dominion.jnlp)'s the latest release.
-
Out of interest, how does Tunnel + Silver fare against either of the above?
-
Tunnel with no militia beats militia+tunnel, since the militia guy's tunnel is useless. But if you open militia/silver and don't get any additional militia, the tunnel guy can't reliably use his tunnel and is behind.
More concisely:
single militia > single tunnel > militia + tunnel > mass militia > single militia
-
So does this qualify for the Rock Paper Scissors puzzle?
-
"Single tunnel", if faced against single-militia-BM without tunnels, will either buy additional tunnels or buy a militia, transitioning out of single tunnel.
-
Of course it depends on what there is to transition to. Single militia should add some other stuff too. But I think it's better to have an extra militia than to be buying tunnels (from the start) with the hope of activating them off of your opponents single militia.

It does. It's basically perfect. Takes a second maybe to program in the buy rules (I don't want anybody disputing me on that fact now) but it's a worthwhile download. Here you go: http://dominionsimulator.wordpress.com/

Okay, this is really bugging me. I can't find any reference to the 3-pane Inception meme that everyone is using. I have been down to like page 20 or something of knowyourmeme.com and can find no reference to it. What is it commonly known as?
-
I think it's called Inception Leo, though memegenerator isn't loading that page.
It's also here:

GGG has ambassador in deck in a Possession game. P1 is GGG's greatest threat and can possess GGG. GGG uses his masquerade to pass a Province to P3.

With Bridge in play, that engine player has enough to buy a Province. Intentional?
-
Yeah with bridges and an attack to slow down the big money player, the engine is likely viable here. If there's a little trashing, then it's very viable.
-
Shouldn't he be able to play his torturer that he just developed? Imagine doing militia than torturer... suddenly no more province =)
-
Shouldn't he be able to play his torturer that he just developed? Imagine doing militia than torturer... suddenly no more province =)
Nope, I don't think he has any actions left to play it with.
-

I missed the torturer. Yeah with that on the board, the engine player is going to crush BM. Though really you should probably be taking torturers over the embassy in the first place.
-
Clearly all this stuff got pulled out of the black market.
-
(http://i.qkme.me/36cabj.jpg)
-
Just for the record:
1. I didn't think that hard about that meme
2. Largely because I didn't expect anyone else to think that hard about it either.
3. Engine might beat BM+ on that board, when played well, but nobody has ever definitively proved that Leo plays Dominion well.
4. The point of the meme wasn't supposed to be that simple strategies beat complex strategies, but to capture that feeling you get when you've played a whole bunch of cards in your turn but it ended up as something of a damp squib, then your opponent has a much simpler turn that is ultimately more successful. I'm sure we have all been on both ends of that one.
-
We're a bunch of internet nerds. We thrive on the pedantic.

I just thought it was funny that someone used a huge example in the Inception meme, then others piled on to state in simple terms why it was wrong. I couldn't resist taking it one level deeper.

Better than turn 5.
-
Better than turn 5.
Which is the 2nd level of the joke ;).
-
Better than turn 5.
Why?
Not challenging, just trying to learn.
If I had to take a stab, I would say that on T5, the collided cards stay in your discard for longer as the deck was reshuffled to deal out the entirety of the hand that turn. Is that correct? Or is there something else here?
-
I mean like, you miss both cards on turn 3/4, having them collide on 5. That's pretty much worst case scenario.
In general, likely turn 3 is worse because early bad luck is worse than later bad luck.
-

That's pretty much it.
Cards you draw on T5 "miss the reshuffle", because you have to shuffle to draw your hand of 5. Generally, you get to play a card you bought once per deck cycle (ignoring weird cases like Scheme). If it misses the reshuffle, you get to play it once in both deck cycles.
Bah someone else can probably explain this better. There's a Deck Control article somewhere out there that goes into more depth.
EDIT: Ninja'd whyyyyyy.
Idk if turn 3 collision is any worse than turn 4 collision though. Later on early collision is probably worse, but turn 3 vs turn 4 collisions probably don't matter?
-

Ah, now I get it. I (and I assume paddy) was thinking that you got one of them on 3, the other on 4, and then they collided on 5. This would better than collision on 3, while getting neither on 3 and 4 would be worse.
And, to answer the most recent question, I assume that collision on 3 is absolutely equivalent to collision on 4 (excluding any weirdness with other cards).

True story.
I felt kind of sad when I found a one-handed bow called "Dominion Apex", like the game was calling me.
-
There's no such thing as "one handed bow". :o
Perhaps hand crossbow?

That's of course what I meant.
The crossbow's stats were: +1 Card, +1 Action and some other randoms.

Wouldn't that be

Dear lord, my memory.
It wasn't a crossbow, it was a pair of gloves. I actually made a screenie, so here it is:

Of course, if you're up by 13 already, have a Silver in hand, and there are four Provinces left on the table, That's actually the perfect, if evil, way to win the game.

Re: National Qualifiers....

I'm perfectly comfortable with multiplayer Dominion - just have to realize that piles empty faster. I feel like your doggy more when playing Magic: Who do I attack? Is he gonna spell away my creatures? What am I doing?
-
I feel like there's more to it than just watching piles, because the game as a whole just goes faster*. You don't have quite as much time to get a good engine firing.
edit: Also the way Attacks play is quite a bit different and more dependent on seating order.
*especially in 4p where there are only 3 Provinces per player instead of 4.

The banned card was trusty steed. The updated ban was gold, and I didn't buy it, although I would have for sure.
Edit: Game Link:
http://dominion.isotropic.org/gamelog/201206/26/game-20120626-182126-2077bcac.html
— Captain_Frisk's turn 8 —
Captain_Frisk plays a Contraband.
... pkbrooklyn prohibits Captain_Frisk from buying Trusty Steeds.
Captain_Frisk plays 3 Coppers.
Captain_Frisk buys a Duchy.
(Captain_Frisk draws: 3 Estates, a Copper, and a Curse.)
In retrospect, I should have bought a fairgrounds.

On the flip-side of the flip-side, it's somehow almost perversely pleasing to ban copper and curse, when it's the RIGHT play.
-
On the flip side ...
I'll have to defer to pkbrooklyn, but I have to assume this was a misclick - or an automatic "hey I just won a tournament - which prize do I want" click.
We all had a good chuckle. Side note: why does Isotropic even allow specification of a card that can not actually be purchased?

I think he said on the AMA that he wanted things to function exactly as written where possible, there was a victory card that counted instances of a card you named, donald wanted it to automatically choose the best one, but dougz says as written you choose a card so he made you pick a card. So in a few places iso will let you do things that you wouldn't normally do because well, you can.
-
All Contraband says is "name a card". Just like Wishing Well. You can proscribe "Black Lotus" or wish for "the Ace of Spades" too. Sadly Isotropic's interface does not include a text field for such situations ...

And this is why it is so funny - that he's gone out of his way to include 1 subset of cards that can't be purchased, but exclude others (all dominion cards not currently in the game)
I think the next time someone plays contraband in real life I'm going to name Phoenix.
-

I suppose it is because the same logic is used for Wishing Well. It would be more going out of your way to have two different name-any-card functions.

Next time I play with Contraband in RL and I have no idea what to proscribe due to the excess of choices, I am going to proscribe the Ace of Diamonds. And, when I've drawn my deck and play wishing well, I will totally wish for the Queen of Spades.

Just to be overly pedantic and destroy everyone's good time here... I'm pretty sure that "a card" within the rules of Dominion is defined as "A Dominion card." So while you can proscribe (and wish for) cards that aren't in the Kingdom, or ever cards from sets you don't have, you do still have to choose a Dominion card.
MTG sort of covers this concept when talking about how changelings are "every creature type." It is specified that this means it is any creature type that has ever been referenced by any magic card anywhere. But it is not a creature type of "Young Witch," because "Young Witch" is not an MTG creature type.

Luckily for us MtG rules do not apply to Dominion.
I've seen DXV mention somewhere that you can wish for/proscribe anything you want. Does not have to be a Dominion card.

After some trouble trying to make attractive graphs with Dominion cards as points. This was so nice/easy with Race for the Galaxy (with context, the top graph actually makes a lot of sense if you've played the game 5 times).

I'm not getting the IGG pun (let alone the third meaning). Help?
-
I think it's "I gg" as in I say gg due to already being behind thanks to the Ill-Gotten Gains, but I think that's only two things, I'm still missing the third.
-
The only other one I can think of is a stretch - you "gain" a win, which is "ill-gotten" by using that strategy.
-
I was referring to the fact that IGG, the card, and I GG, the pun, are both answers to the question as posed; the card is the only method of performing the action described. As opposed to Harem/Cellar, where there is only wordplay and no relation to the game.
Someone find me a better word than entendre here, please; I guess I could just say it works on two levels, as opposed to the other puns which are just plain ol' puns.
-
I think you are right, Kirian. Puns are generally a form of a double entendre (or a skewed version at least). I think it would be accurate to call it a meme with a double entendre (double entendre means "two meanings", right? IGG the card, and I GG as in you win).
-
I thought you meant it as, "IGG" as in "igghhhh, I can't believe your luck!".
-
I thought you meant it as, "IGG" as in "igghhhh, I can't believe your luck!".
lol. I also thought of that after I posted in and saw it. The idea was that IGG is both often the correct play (since obviously your opponent is going IGG) and that you might also "gg", but I knew someone would read it as an onomatopoeic sound of frustration.
I think what Kirian is trying to say is that I didn't just put some random scenario as the question and have the humor in the fact that IGG is both a card and something you'd say, but rather I chose a question such that IGG the card could also be a reasonable answer in the absence of a pun.
Anyway, that's a lot of analysis for a bad pun coon. In retrospect, I should have perhaps also replaced "you" in the question with "I". I'd update it if it were an article on IGG puns, but it's just a bad pun meme...
-

This implies that maybe michaeljb will change his (I think in this situation I can rightfully assume Michael is a dude...) avatar. If this is the case, I formally call dibs on the Wharf card art. It's by far and away the best, but he has been all over it since f.ds started. :/

On a side note, how do you easily incorporate images from QuickMeme into your posts? Every time I try to directly link images from there I always end up with a 1x1 pixel image.

Technically false because TR, as worded, forces you to play the Poor House twice, each one giving -$5.

But it says it can't bring you down below 0, right?

Down to a minimum of 0$.
Than you play 9 coppers. 0 + 9 = 9.

Nitpick: Reacting with two Fool's Gold at once shouldn't be very smart in most cases anyway - after all, you dispense with (at least) $5 of buying power this turn... 8)

Why not? 5 FG is a single Province buy. Gold provides $1 less than an activated FG, is more consistent, and $9 today and Gold-Gold-3x??? tomorrow is a great position for consecutive Provinces. The only thing that might give you pause is if you're in a Colony game.

It's not supposed to go in your hand. Trader makes you "gain a silver." It doesn't care what you were going to gain before, or where it would have gone. All that matters is following what Trader says at that point, and "gain a silver" always means to your discard pile.
-
So the moral of the story is, if you play Explorer (or Bureaucrat or JoaT) and reveal a Trader to gain Silver instead of Silver just to be funny, the joke is on you.
-
Well, JoaT gains to your discard anyway, but you could make the same mistake with Mine.

for future reference, i added this information to the "Posting How-To" section of the Forum Basics (http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=1994.msg31549#msg31549) post in the FAQ (http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=1994.0).

I did play some of it on goko beta. I had no idea what I was doing then. But ok, maybe a little premature.

Yeah - that thread is amazing. We're all used to playing online, so we don't have any of the OMG this isn't native IOS rage, and where is my offline mode.
They don't yet know that you can play all the cards in the supply on turn 1... I wonder how that's going to fly.

Yeah, I really don't understand the "where's my offline mode?" thing. Like... guys... the AI may be OK but it's not that impressive. Really.

I've played lots and lots against the AI. It's not a challenge, but it's still fun.

Sounds like they took a page from WotC's playbook. Before the official announcement of 4e, the WotC webpage was replaced with a timer, which counted down to a massive failure as the website crashed from the traffic and couldn't be brought back up for 3-4 days.

The difference being that with 4e, at least you could buy physical copies of the books. WOTC's web presence wasn't the core of their business. Goko's... is.

I hear ya. I just couldn't help but laugh. I suppose this is probably more analogous to the launch of an MMO. I think Diablo II had similar issues as well.

-
I hear ya. I just couldn't help but laugh. I suppose this is probably more analogous to the launch of an MMO. I think Diablo II had similar issues as well.
The problem here is that an MMO involves high-intensity server code and hundreds of thousands of people. This is a card game for which only 7,858 people previously had an account to play online. It's not like they're being inundated with unprecendented traffic that would be sufficient to knock out 90% of sites on the Internet.
edit: Sorry, I sound like a dick. Not to say YOU BLATANTLY FUCKED UP, just saying this isn't the same sort of problem.

That number is way too low - it's just the number on the iso leaderboard RIGHT NOW. Which doesn't include people from other sites, or people who haven't played in the last X (maybe 7) days. Well more people than that have played dominion online.
On the other hand, yeah, MMOs are waaaaaaaaaay bigger.
-
The DominionStrategy Forum sympathizes with Goko.
-
It's not that their servers are being overloaded or anything like that. Right now, the public can't enter at all, but the private beta is still running smoothly, last I checked.
It's hard to guess what problems they're having. Maybe account registration is having trouble? Or maybe expansion-purchasing is broken, although they could still opt to launch with just the base set in that case.
-
Sometimes I forget how pedantic this place can get.
Okay, work with me and let's see if we can identify the salient points of the analogy.
The public launch of goko is like the launch of 4e in that they both were announced at GenCon, both directed people to a website and both caused the website to crash. The public launch of goko differs from the launch of 4e in many material ways, including the fact that they happened in different years, were done by different companies, were different products, and are completely different games.
The public launch of goko is like the launch of an MMO in that they are both software products, subject to heavy traffic at launch, which can cause delays or failures in using the product. The public launch of goko differs from the launch of an MMO in many material ways, including the fact that MMOs are typically of a much larger scale and have much more complex code.
Nonetheless, I would submit that the salient feature of goko for purposes of the prior posts (it doesn't work) is similar to the salient feature of the WotC website at the 4e announcement (it didn't work) and MMOs at launch (they often don't work), likely due to either (a) unexpectedly high demand for the product or (b) poor preparation for regular demand. Given that Dominion has helped spawn/inspire an entire sub-segment of games, that there are multiple Dominion clone apps available on various platforms that seem to be doing fairly well, the launch was announced at one of the largest concentrations of their customers on the planet, and that many of us have waited for baited breath for an official version (no disrespect to Iso intended), I suspect that goko is a victim of Dominion's own success.
Edit: Great, and now blueblimp has to go and post something that disproves my snotty post. Maybe I should listen next time the forum says "someone posted something that makes you sound like an idiot, are you sure you don't want to read it before hitting submit."

Cool. You should have seen if you could have got the copy earlier and cracked it open. You wouldn't have to post anything on the net, but it is always cool to see cards before everyone else.
-
Nah, we just got the shipment in either yesterday or today. Maybe I could have tried to sneak over to our warehouse, but that's far away and overstepping my boundaries a hundred times over. I'm content enough to have a hard copy so soon.
Except, you know, the whole having no one to play with part.

Is that directed at me, Kirian? If so, all I meant was that despite us having it ready for sale on the day it is first available, no one buys it. It doesn't mean I am disappointed in terms of sales, but in terms of lack of avid Dominion players. I'd be just as sad if Toys "R" Us didn't sell any of Dark Ages today. OK, maybe slightly, slightly less sad, but you know what I mean.
If that wasn't directed at me? Well, then, oops.

I've checked several FLGS in the greater Seattle area, and none of them have copies, yet. I know there are a few other forumers from around here - anyone know who might have a copy now? (I'm hoping to play this weekend before going out of town next week.)

Wasn't... directed at anyone. And wasn't intended as sarcasm, either. Boards and Bits is local to me, like, I've literally picked up games there in person. It's cool that so many people get games via them. That's all! :)

My guess is that some combination of goko / Jay / DXV need to approve such a release. My guesses are that the chances of that approval if it was fully up to each party would be 0% / 25% / 50%.
-
having dark ages at release was supposed to be a big feature of goko. isotropic having it as well, especially with some of goko's problems thus far, would pull users (especially this community!) away towards isotropic. and goko really needs that solid user base, especially early on, to attract more people. people paying for a product will want to see lots of other players in the lobbies.

Ok, I missunderstood what's going on. But where did he "just gain" Madman from?
-

Necropolis

But you'd still another Tactician so you can draw the extra cards from madman in a tactician turn.
So yeah, you need a Necropolis in that playing area. I just didn't care about that, because I thought it was self-evident and I don't have fun cutting out more card images so everything I played is in that play area.
It is more about the concept then about how exactly one manages to get there.
Edit: I understand now what you mean, but actually this is supposed to be the turn where you gain the Madman and topdeck it with Royal Seal after playing a Tactician and buying nothing.
@Grujah, from a Hermit. It is not in the playing area because the player had to trash him by buying nothing to get the Madman.

What if Steward+4 Copper is the same as being able to buy a Cache for $2?

I don't get it. Call me dense.
I you Steward for +$2 to buy a Gold, the opportunity cost is not trashing 2 Coppers, and a $2 buy. So if you trash 2 Coppers and buy a Cache (for $2), that's basically the same as if you +$2 and buy a Gold.

... ... neat

And the point of my remark about trash-for-benefit cards was that with them being present a Cache card for $5 is not as good as a Gold card for $6.

So I remember a good bit of discussion about what's the best Scout option in that scenario... it sounds like the argument here is that you obviously should take the Gold; because if Cache is balanced at $5, then it should be worth using your otherwise $2 turn to get the equivalent?
Of course, my counter-argument would be that going from 7 coppers to 9 coppers in your deck is not as big of a change as going from 7 coppers to 5 coppers. Percentage-wise, at least.

You're trashing 2 copper then buying the $2 cache, you'll have 7 coppers either way.
If Cache literally did cost $2, yes. But it doesn't, which means you will be buying some other random $2 (or likely nothing). The comparison then is between buying a Cache under normal circumstances, and buying Gold with Steward + 4 copper.

Coppers aren't all bad, they're better than Scout most of the time. ;)

[based on this :]
There was another game where I got hit with Marauders a few times early on and then managed to buy two peddlers by playing Necropolis, Abandoned Village, Ruined Library, and Ruined Market.

Or Fortune Teller! ;D

Yeah, Fortune Teller would certainly be a lot better/funnier. Just a Saboteur has a 60% chance of leaving him with KC/KC/Bridge/Bridge/X for his next turn with which he might very well end the game in his favor with at least two Provinces gone.
-
Poor Leo
See, this effectively demonstrates that there aren't really "bad" cards per se; there is a time and a place for all of them, you just need to know how to use them correctly.

Oh yeah, I hadn't thought about Fortune teller. ;D

Not quite. You draw up to 5 alchemists in hand.
-
Aargh. Limits them, anyway. >_< Seems like every time I try to build a stack I lose, and every time I let the opponent build one I still lose :P
-
But Minion can destroy Alchemist stacks just as well as Fortune Teller would counter this Inn trick.

@Julle's meme: There is no way how one opponent can play both a Thief and a Swindler on turn 3. Inserting plural for "opponents" would make it theoretically possible (but would apart from very bad luck need very bad play from the opponent who bought a Thief on turns 1 or 2 ;)).

Open Thief/Swindler
Turn 3: Play Necropolis, Swindler and Thief.
And if my opponent opens Mint, I might pick up a Thief. I think that's not a bad play.
-
Doh, I stand corrected!

I think I would ragequit Dominion forever if that happened to me. Terrible. You'd be left with a deck with just 2 Copper and 3 Shelters.
If Swindler hits Shelters and Poor House isn't out, do they just die?

Yeah. Same thing happens if, for instance, Mining Villages are the only $4 card in the kingdom, and the pile's empty.

Speaking of which, Swindler probably got a bit worse on the whole, now. I haven't played with it in a Dark Ages game, and it still sucks to lose a great card to Swindler, but... Dark Ages cards do mitigate the punishment.

so he played TR-TR-Outpost-Possession?
-
Possession technically gives your opponent an extra turn. In particular, if they then play an outpost on their real turn after the possessed turn, they do not gain an additional turn. Although they also clean up their outpost and only draw a hand of three cards.

easyfix: he was possessing someone and played TR-TR-Outpost-Possession, giving them two possession turns with his hand.

What happens if you play your opponent's outpost on the possessed turn? Do they only get 3 cards?

Yes. And then, having played that turn with three cards, they get their turn with five cards.

The best is to play multiple Possessions, and then on their last possessed turn, play their Outpost. Then they only get three cards for their real turn.

Well, he can still buy a card costing up to 6 5 but still pretty bad.

Am I missing something? That could be a very good hand if, say, there is Bridge in the supply.

Well, there's no card that costs less than BoM so you can't play it as anything else.

33 right?
24 is correct.
Permutation of 4 is 4! (That's 4 factorial)
-
You have four cards revealed. You choose one to top deck. Then one of the three remaining revealed cards to top deck. Then one of the two remaining revealed cards to top deck. Then finally one of the one remaining revealed cards to top deck. The result is 4*3*2*1 choices, which is 24.

@The last one:
Why would it be particularly mad to get rid of a Necropolis by putting it in the way of a Swindler? Sure, Overgrown Estate is even more attractive for it, but getting rid of a Necropolis should improve your deck in most cases as well - and even if you'd rather like to keep it if you had a choice, it will still often be the best alternative - the Swindler is an attack card which often hurts, after all.

But I thought that you put up to 4 VP cards in your hand so you can reorder either 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4 cards which means that there are 1 + 1 + 2 + 6 + 24 = 34 ways to reorder 0 to 4 cards.
I didn't count 0 at first.

That was my fist guess how you arrived at 33... ;D
And indeed IMO you are right (now), 34 should be the number!
It is a different thing to put 4 cards back than to put 3 cards back and leave one in your hand.
So that makes 4!+3!+2!+1!+0! = 34 different possibilities to put cards back.
However, I guess one could argue that you can't "choose" the 34 possibilities yourself because you *must* put all revealed victory cards in your hand.
So ChocophileBenj's wording is ambigous!
-
If we count from 2 upwards, there are still 2 + 6 + 24 = 32 ways. :)
(http://i.qkme.me/3rfuxz.jpg)
-
You never have a choice between 33 options, because you can't choose how many cards you can put back. So you'll either have only 1 choice, or 2 choices, or 6 choices, or 24 choices, depending on how many victory cards you find.

I'm afraid I don't get SirPeebles version at all. Why would playing KC-KC-Beggar-Beggar-Trader have any significance for Fedoums? Trashing Coppers with a Trader doesn't gain you any Silvers.
KC-KC-Beggar-Fortress-Trader wouldn't do any silvery good either, by the way - the Fortress would have to be KCd after the Trader(s).

That's very true. I was thinking if you could manage to get KC/Trader/Silver/Silver/Silver in a later turn, you turn 3 silver into 9. Which feeds Feodum even more.
-
And with your one buy, grab a Copper, but reveal Trader for a 19th Silver instead ;)
With the fortress example, you'd get even more. You would effectively play Trader 6 times, getting 4 Silvers each time for a total of 24 Silvers. But hey, I was trying to modify Qvist's into a beneficial use of KC-KC-Beggar-Beggar.

This is worse than using the Beggars though. You would play Trader three times on three Silvers, gaining 9 Silver but losing 3 for a net gain of 6.

So you trash Fortress 6 times for 24 silver, then still get to play it with KC, getting three more cards and six extra actions? Dang.

Golem + Procession doesn't force you to play the Goons. You have to play the Procession, but it's not necessary to play any action with Procession.

Let's assume you play this !!!

Let's assume you play this !!!
In that case it might still have been a good and not that much of a Brian-y thing to play it:
1. We don't know if the opponent couldn't have activated his Menagerie with 5 cards in hand as well (so that the Goons would have potentially hurt him). That would have been less ambiguous if he had played f. e. Festival+Library instead of Menagerie.
2. But even if it doesn't hurt the opponent, Procession-playing the Goons has earned Brian +$4 and two extra buys that turn. Which might well make trashing the Goons worthwhile. 8)

You were actually kicked out? I don't think you missed much.
I left in week 3, after my first overnight campout. As the FNG, I got assigned the breakfast dishes. No prob, but an Eagle scout gave me the cast iron skillet back to wash again, saying it was "greasy". I figured that if an Eagle scout didn't know how to properly maintain the seasoning on a cast iron pan, he didn't know much about his gear. I juxtapose this with your comment because I find the irony delicious. All of the gay men (and women) in my life knew how to treat a cast iron skillet at an age younger than this nimrod.

In all fairness to younger people like myself (I've gotten an idea of your age elsewhere) (and I'm not all that young), most of us didn't use cast iron skillets as kids. That's no defense of the idiot in your troop though.
Now I am sad because I cast use my cast iron pans on my current stove.

Sorry, sometimes I forget how old I am. My story is from the 70's.
Picture a frying pan, cast out of pure iron, so it's heavy. In the days before Teflon (TM) or other non-stick pans, it was the Lexus of pans. (Many are treasured (and fought after) family heirlooms, passed down for generations, and a lot of that is because it takes a while to properly "season" or condition one). Once properly seasoned, they are non-stick, and their heaviness ensures very uniform heat distribution. However, using soap to get rid of the "greasy" would get rid of the seasoning, and make the pan virtually useless.

Also, keep the Scout jokes coming Robz!
I really appreciate the support, Kirian. I've been trying to come up with a good way to transition into Adventurer jokes, since I now think Adventurer is indeed a worse card.
But Adventurer doesn't seem to draw the responses I really wanted. Should I have just bought Gold instead? Ha! I did it, see? Yeah, not as cool as Scout jokes.

Let me just say that I have stopped posting Scout humor, ever since someone complained about it directly to me, which made me sad. But I stopped!
If that was me...I apologize. I only meant that too many people make Scout jokes. It goes without say that yours are the cleverest of them all.

It did get really old when in every single new thread, like clockwork, someone would come in say something along the lines of "You know what would make your strategy better? a scout!" and then people would chime in with ever more scout "strategies".

It's not very funny, but this thread was in desperate need of a meme, and it's the best I had at the time. Now we're analyzing meme's again, man, this thread isn't what it used to be.

Is Embassy opening insane? It should basically guarantee Gold when played, right?
-
It's saying opening Embassy to give the opponent who opened Mint a Silver (thereby giving him more than $2 to spend next turn) is insane.
-

The issue is opening Embassy after I open Mint; that Silver you're giving me means a lot more than it normally would.
-
Is Embassy opening insane? It should basically guarantee Gold when played, right?
It's specifically in response to the opponent's Mint opening. Your opponent just completely screwed his game up by ensuring that he could do nothing at all for a couple turns. By opening Embassy, you save him from his horribleness. It might not quite cost you the game, but it will probably turn a sure victory into a regular contest.

According to the simulators, Mint wins about 28% of the time. That's with Mint always going first, both players always getting 5/2 in that order.
I briefly tried adding in some Copper buy rules, but it only made it worse, and that already went against the spirit of Insanity Wolf so I stopped trying.

Yeah, but what would the sims say about Mint / nothing vs Silver / Silver, instead of vs Embassy / nothing? I'd assume Mint has much less than 28% chance then.

The sim doesn't Insanity-Wolf-play Embassy correctly.

Man, getting back to lvl 40 after a period of inactivity is hard work, who knew?
Congrats. Over the past week I have begun to believe for the first time that I can make it to 40. I hit 38 a few days ago. Both 2 days ago and yesterday I had a good win-rate against pretty high-level people on average, (including beating Rabid!) which I thought for sure would push me to 39... but nope, still 38. :(
-
Heh, I went 7-3 yesterday, beating a few higher level opponents, and my rank only dropped. I'm actually satisfied at ever reaching level 40 and don't care much anymore, but sometimes I'm puzzled by TrueSkill's wiles.

That's my thought too... if I hit 40, I'll probably stop caring about ranking. I know I'm not nearly good enough to compete with the 50s, and I don't quite want to invest the time it would take to get there. Just finished going about 4-5 for the day. :-\

I'm pretty sure 40 is my ceiling and very happy with it. I mean, there are ~8000 registered users on the leaderboard - all active since Iso removes inactive accounts - and being in the top 50 or so is quite an achievement for me.
What makes getting a high ranking even harder is the fact that you have to sidestep so many mine fields. I mean, I accept pretty much any registered match and even lvl 1's can beat me if they open 5/2 Witch over my measly 4/3.
And then there are diminishing returns. Going from lvl 1 to lvl 10 is super easy, from 10 to 20 so-so, from 20 to 30 you need to at least know which cards might be good, from 30-40 increasingly difficult and so on. And because the higher you get, the more opponents are below you, the more difficult it gets to increase your lvl.
Since I had a good run yesterday I'm even at lvl 41 now, woohoo!!
And just in time, too. I don't think I will be playing on Goko much when it goes live, so at least I've had a good run. ;D

You know, I don't think you and I have ever played a game... weird. Anyway, I've won several games today against players in the 40s, so I'm really hoping that tomorrow I'll be one step closer!
-
I'm also kinda confused by my recent adventures with ranking. I'm up to a career-high 22, even though I don't think I'm winning any more than usual and if anything I'm probably playing less!

(http://i.qkme.me/3rqhrl.jpg)
Near the top of 39 too! Here's hoping that tomorrow's the big day!

I remember I lost my Lv. 40 game the first time to Jlock and spent a good deal of time at 38/39. It feels good when you actually make it there. Best of luck in you next games! May your Sea Hag hit you opponents and may you never get a turn 5 $2P!

-
In reference to the Inception above:
You buy something before you gain it.
The Mint effect and the Talisman effect happen at the same time. Therefore you can choose to resolve the Talisman first. So you do get two Mints.
However, Royal Seal says "when you gain." The Royal Seal is trashed when you buy the Mint, so it is no longer in play when the Mint is actually gained. You can't put the Mints on top of your deck.

However, Royal Seal says "when you gain." The Royal Seal is trashed when you buy the Mint, so it is no longer in play when the Mint is actually gained. You can't put the Mints on top of your deck.
When you buy something, you also gain that card, so the moment you buy Mint, you have also gained it. So, all abilities go off at once and you choose the order to resolve. So, yes, you can use Royal Seal to put Mint on top of your deck, but the treasures are still trashed. At least, I think that works.
-
-play Royal Seal, Quarry, Talisman
-buy Mint
-choose Talisman's buy effect
--gain another copy of Mint (it only costs $3 thanks to quarry)
--royal seal is in play, top deck that Mint
-do Mint's buy effect, trashing the treasures
-gain the Mint you bought
Net result: quarry, royal seal, talisman in trash, one mint in discard, one mint on top of the deck.
Net result from Goko's faulty implementation: treasures in trash, one mint on top of the deck.
Talisman gains you the extra copy right when you're resolving it; it doesn't wait for you to gain the card you bought.
Inception Leo is only expecting one mint to be top decked, but he should still be gaining two Mints.
Edit: how Goko does it:
-Play the treasures
-buy mint
-can top-deck mint with royal seal
-treasures trashed
Another edit: tl;dr: you buy a card (and handle when-you-buy events) and then you gain it (and handle when-you-gain events)

When you buy something, you also gain that card, so the moment you buy Mint, you have also gained it.
No, buy time is separate from gain time. When you buy something, you *then* gain it, *assuming* it's still okay to gain it after resolving all the on-buy effects. That's kind of why cards bother to make the distinction.
In fact, these timings aren't even necessarily consecutive: the "when you would gain" effect of Trader can trigger in between.

i.e. I'M RIGHT.
edit: Except one copy WOULD go on top of your deck because it's gained when you buy Mint. The copy that you actually bought would go in your discard pile. Because it's gained after your buy it. I SWEAR THIS MAKES SENSE.

I generally enjoy memes of all sort. And I also find it desirable to discuss Dominion rules issues that arise with them!
A meme which doesn't have perfect rules accuracy is no good meme IMO! 8) So mentioning such a flaw (or discussing if it is one) is a welcome improvement suggestion for that meme.

Hoard, Tunnel…
Yeah, I've seen plenty of games with Tunnel or Hoard in which the Gold pile got emptied.
Not especially unusual at all, particularly with more than 2 players.
I didn't say "the Gold pile never empties" I was skeptical that the Gold pile could empty, yet Remodel was present, at least one player purchased it (and if it was such a slow game, both players purchased Remodel if there was no better way of exploiting Gold gain, and if there was a better way of exploiting Gold gain the Provinces are even more likely to be gone) yet no one had Remodelled more than 6 of the 30 Golds into Provinces.

playing a fortune teller would discard any extra alchemists he might still have stacked on his deck, that way you can flip him a new hand without worry.

I prefer to think of it as a feature. Because otherwise, you have to choose to resolve Alchemist cleanup first, for every single Alchemist.
I suppose there's a difference because your Potion can't be discarded off the top of your deck if you play it right, but whatever.

You say it yourself, there's a potentially relevant difference. Which means it's undoubtedly a bug. A button "resolve cleanup for *all* Alchemists first" would be a feature.

It's funny, because Iso is usually so strict with rules.
I mean, you can reveal the same Moat three times, but you can just put your Potion back first?
That's just odd...

First, that's 60 years later or so.
Second who died that early before the story even begans? Sansa's wolve? And Ned Stark, ok.

99% sure the books never say he died. they repeatedly use language such as "fell" instead. that tipped it all off to me pretty early.
ex:"'Alas! ' said Aragorn. `Gandalf the Grey fell into shadow. He remained in Moria and did not escape.'"

Yeah, I saw the movie before I'd read the books (read all 3 before Two Towers came out though), and I never thought for a minute that Gandalf was dead, mostly because of what a major character he was in both the Hobbit and LOTR.

If you read The Hobbit first you wouldn't think Gandalf was really that strong, and you wouldn't put it past tolkien to get rid of the last character from that story after leaving bilbo behind.
If you read The Hobbit first, you'd never think the Ring was an Evil Device used to control the world that had to be destroyed in a volcano. Just a magic ring with a super nifty ability and no drawbacks. Then you read the LotR-trilogy and you can't even put it on without being noticed by some creepy eye in a tower.
-
Well, if I recall correctly, even in the beginning, the power of the ring wasn't known.
Gandalf spent several years coming to the shire and leaving again, diving into all kinds of books, until he founds out.
Of course, he immediately recognizes it in the movie.
And when Bilbo used it as a "party trick" (my book knowledge is inadvertently mixed with movie knowledge, so sorry if I get things mixed up) and I don't think he was spotted by evil then. If so, he might have mentioned it to Frodo: "Here's this ring, but if you put it on, you see these creepy zombie kings of old."
With regards to my original spoiler: I know that the movie is old, but as he didn't seem to recognize Alan Rickman I wasn't sure whether he's seen it and didn't want to spoil the "big reveal". :)
Some movies are more spoiler dependent than others though.
But hey, here's another: In the last season of Lost, they didn't successfully fix the timeline and live happy ever after, they're in some sort of purgatory/heaven

I dunno, I don't think a turturer chain is a viable strategy if you can only ever hope to play 2 of them in a turn...
Still, even with light trashing, you may be able to get to a point where you are reliably playing both of them each turn, which can be devastating. Obv depends on the kingdom.

I agree with ()...
Maybe goons are more significant though, because 2 goons in a turn are a lot better than a single.

There really is a LOT to be said for using the basic mu score rather than the mu-sigma rating from Trueskill for seeding tournaments.
-
We had this discussion briefly, actually, and I voted in favor of Level.
There are tough cases on both sides (does 40 ± 1 really lose to 41 ± 10) but this solution errs in favor of those that play more games.
-
I think in general, after a certain number of games, mean skill is a much better predictor than level. I'm not positive what that number is. 100 games? More? Anyway one problem is that we have so many people below a reasonable game threshold. So then say someone who has 1 game and is ranked 25 +/-25 would be seeded higher than say a guy whos played a number of games and might be like 23+/-13. So on the low end of the spectrum, I think level is likely more fair.
-
I have a lot of games, but most of them are from a year ago.
-
We had this discussion briefly, actually, and I voted in favor of Level.
There are tough cases on both sides (does 40 ± 1 really lose to 41 ± 10) but this solution errs in favor of those that play more games.
I think that using the 99.1% uncertainty is probably a little extreme, and that's the issue. If it were say 1 StD instead, you could still encode the uncertainty of player skill, but it would be a much smaller factor, like ± 3-4 for most people instead of ±10.
What's really annoying for me though, is my uncertainty is pretty high, so I'd have been double better off using flat raw skill. Uh, Theory, did you just change the sheet? I can't see players raw skill and uncertainty any more for some reason... wanted to check what my seed would be if it was using that.
-
I hide the columns containing that data so that it can fit in this topic: http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=5687.0
I suggest going to the spreadsheet itself: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AuZ91-6FOcw_dHp0Yy0tM2hSelp2TFZwYlpqb2k0UVE and then making a copy to get all the data

The doc is linked to the forum listing, so for presentation purposes, the columns where that information is stored is collapsed. You can just copy/past the entire sheet into a new doc if you want to have something you can see and edit.
Oh also, it's 99.8%.

Citizen Kane
King Kong
Looper
Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 2
The Sixth Sense
The last one is the most interesting "spoiler" to me because it was supposed to be a big reveal at the end of the movie. Really, go watch it again. It's never explicitly stated that he sees dead people until like Act 3, but then the marketing guys decided to put that scene in all the previews.

The big reveal wasn't that the kid could see dead people, but rather that Bruce Willis' character himself is dead.

That's Success Baby. He's excited because things are working out better than expected. If it was 0 actions it would be Bad Luck Brian. If after getting the treasure maps with an action he explained to his opponent that on his next turn he's going to have 2 buys and 7 cards, 4 of which are gold, and his opponent played minion, that would be the Leonardo DiCaprio Inception macro.

Well if wharf was the only thing you played you wouldn't have any left, but here wharf was the last thing in a string of actions and you happened to have one action left.

That seems unlikely compared to the actual best option. Perhaps edge cases where crazy1 is better than crazy2 and vise versa would be easier to find.

You want that to be the best play? Alright.
You had just played Golem and drawn Lookout/Moat (don't ask what the heck is going on in this deck okay it just is). You have in hand a Scavenger, Vault and two Estates are ahead by 7 points and the Colony pile has 1 Colony left. You decided to resolve Lookout first.
How do you guarantee yourself $11? You need the extra actions, and the Platinum in your discard. So you trash Tunnel (2 points is meaningless), and put Fortress on top of your deck to be drawn. So you draw Fortress giving you Scavenger, Fortress, Vault and two Estates in hand. You Fortress, then Scavenger, putting Platinum on top of your deck, giving you $2 and Vault, Estate, X and X in hand. You play Vault, drawing Platinum and discard the other four cards, giving you $11, you buy the last Colony and win.
There. Edge Case'd

Why not trash the fortress to put it in hand, discard the tunnel put the plat back, then moat to draw 2 cards, including the plat. Then play fortress. So you have those two estates, a third card drawn from fortress and the plat and another card drawn from moat. So play scavenger for $2 and vault to discard the two drawn cards, 2 estates and 2 other cards plus the plat is $11 anyway. No need to trash the tunnel.
-
Second one is a little harder to make optimal, but it did make me realise a fun little pet trick while working it out.
Play Farming Village, reveal Tunnel, Watchtower. Watchtower goes into hand, THEN Tunnel is discarded. Use watchtower to give that deck some Gold. Decks love gold.
Why not trash the fortress to put it in hand, discard the tunnel put the plat back, then moat to draw 2 cards, including the plat. Then play fortress.

It is stupid to play the copper (or it would be, if there wasn't a undo-button). But you're right it is angry about isotropic too.

The general idea with the insanity wolf image is that he gives you really bad advice, or advice that you would have to be insane to follow. So playing King's Court-Golem while Possessing your opponent is a great example (assuming that you know your opponent's deck has Possessions and attacks in it; it's a terrible thing to do).
So it's more for giving stupid advice, not for pointing out things that are stupid (like how it's stupid that Iso incorrectly plays Coppers).

Confession Benj :
I play too much dominion, because when I discovered the English name from "Grolem" was "Golem", all I thought to was "Like the dominion card." And yet I was a huge Dominion fan.
And when I wrote this, I was wondering myself : why not a topic "You play too much Dominion when..."
Let's start with this :
You play too much Dominion when you visit a chapel in order to get rid of some junk.
You play too much Dominion when you are pursed by somebody and believe you will get protected by hiding behind a moat or in near to a lighthouse.
You play too much Dominion when you can't stand scouts.
You play too much Dominion when while going through a tunnel you are disappointed not to find gold.
And when you expect governors/traders to give you gold/silver, too.
...Okay, I don't know, maybe we can start to make a tread ?

I don't fall into this category, but some people indeed visit a chapel to give up their "junk" in RL - they give their cares and burdens to their god during prayer. (I'm not trying to derail this to RSP.)

GwinnR vetoes Fool's Gold.
Inflatable Toaster vetoes Minion.
Before he vetoed Minion, Inflatable Toaster asked me, if he should veto Minion or Saboteur. Thanks for this nice gesture, that's why I let you win ;-)

Alternate VP cards like Duke, yes, but I think Fairgrounds is an exception. It might be worth more than a Province if you've been buying from the BM.
I think the worst-relative-to-normal-buy is TMap, Peddler, then FG/Duke.

I rather meant, if you're collecting Fairgrounds, you might want to buy anything you can from the Black Market - particularly at $2.

That's true.If it was on gain, buy farmland, trash fortress (put fortress in hand) gain farmland, trash fortress (put fortress in hand) gain farmland, trash fortress etc.
-
I thought it was to prevent abuses if Gold were swindled into a Farmland (what a nightmare...) and forcing the attacked player to remodel a card. But it's true it seemed me weird, why not on gain, because remodeling several $4 into farmlands this way would have been uncommon... before Fortress !
I wish the on-gain part were : "When you gain this and didn't gain another farmland immediately, you may trash a card from your hand. If you do, gain a card costing up to $2 more than the trashed card".
And then, two another ones :

It so happens, I bought exactly 1 Fool's Gold in a game I played today. The reason was that it was a game with Tournament and Tactician, so I designed a deck that I could draw entirely and then have exactly 8$. Tournament was one of the cards I counted for this, but then my opponent got an early Province, and used it to stuff a Tournament on my Tactician turn, leaving me with 7$. I bought Hunting Party/Fool's Gold, because Fool's Gold is strictly better than copper and I wanted to be able to cycle quickly so I didn't want to buy Gold.
Then his Province lined up with his Tournament, and all this scheming didn't matter much.

Hunting Party + Copper might be better to keep variety down, especially because Tournament prizes make Hunting Party less reliable. I think it's pretty close though.

Although the joke in the original is that the guy getting thrown out the window is supposed to be making a perfectly reasonable suggestion that was ignored in real life.

It's very new, so it's probably still up for grabs a bit. However, Know Your Meme currently has it listed as Boardroom Suggestion (http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/boardroom-suggestion).
EDIT: Oh, and it agrees that in the typical usage, the first two suggestions are typical marketing hype ideas while the third, defenestration-inducing one, is the one that the consumers probably actually want.

Not sure if trollbait or just ignorant... but well you can complete all the campaigns easily without paying any real money, and heck most of them you can get through without using a Zap if you're good.

This was not always the case with Adventure Mode/Zaps. It used to be pretty much impossible beyond the first half an act or so without buying zaps. I believe that Donald mentioned Goko originally hoping users would spend gokoins on zaps, although this hope was abandoned long ago, and the adventure mode is greatly improved now.

Were zaps a RL-money only thing back then? Since I play at Goko (October) it was always possible to buy zaps with Dominion coins you get for playing games. Using those coins I have already bought all adventures and 100+ zaps which I hope will get me through at least enough Adventures to unlock one promo.
-
Zaps were always buyable with Dominion coins since the store first opened.

Haha, how dare people at the top of a company want to make money!!!
-

I confirm.
Initially they were hoping that some people would buy so many zaps that they would spend money on gokoins on dominion coins on zaps. They wanted a "consumable" and came up with zaps as that consumable.
This plan had two huge flaws. First was that you didn't get to play Dominion in the adventures; you were just paying to beat the level. They sucked compared to just playing random games vs. the bots, and the fix was going to have to be, making the zaps just a thing for people who were stuck. Second they never had a system where you could possibly spend money; dominion coins are too plentiful. If zaps had cost fantastic sums of dominion coins, whatever, no-one was going to pay for them for the joy of spending them to slaughter an adventure level.
I argued these points and pushed for content to be what was sold, and they seem to have come around. I expect they will try to sell campaigns at some point. I have no problem with that; it could totally be worth the price to buy one.
-
My point was just in the context of the comic. It seems fair to make a comic where a Goko employee suggested selling zaps at a brainstorming session. Thankfully they've wisened up since then (not that making money is bad, but the zap plan was. It probably was worth exploring, though). Anyhow, I'll make a meme later to make up for all of this text.

That makes it essentially the same either way... but is there an edge case where playing Adventurer first is actually beneficial? Hm...

Actually the Counterfeit is unnecessary. Play the Adventurer first so you have a larger handsize and thus are more likely to Cellar/Warehouse into your Black Market.

The meme is about Golem into Adventurer + Poor House... where does Cellar/Warehouse come into it?
I think AdamH has truly found something that cannot be edge cased. I don't think there is any reason whatsoever you would ever be better off playing Adventurer before Poor House (as a consequence of Golem).

If you have Contraband and lots of coins worth of treasure, you might want to keep the virtual coin count low in hopes that, say, Grand Market isn't blocked. Now we're getting into mind games though.

PH reveals your hand.
Hmm. Well, I have spare actions, and through of many possible scenarios am about to gain a Contraband to the top of my deck and then draw it. I still see Contraband as the best chance at constructing an edge case.
-
In either case, though, all the cards revealed to your opponent are exactly the same. The only difference is that you have less (or equal in the best case) virtual coin.
Looks you can construct a case where having less virtual coin could help you here, and it looks like it would have to be with Contraband:
Adventurer finds two treasures, decreasing your PH by $2, and needing the Contraband play gets you that extra $1 you need to buy your card*. Either that or you really really need the extra buy.
Either of these cases involves suboptimal play by your opponent -- it's not a mind game at this point, I believe it falls under suboptimal play; which means this 'edge case' boils down to "if I play suboptimally then maybe my opponent will play suboptimally as well and I'll come off better out of the exchange."
*Incidentally, if you only get one treasure with Adventurer and decrease your PH value by $1, your opponent must know how much money you have at the end of your turn (or do they? Is there any way to discard or trash during your turn where your opponent doesn't know what is in your hand?)
...or, you can just gain two more (different) treasures later in your turn and draw a portion of your deck. OK, nevermind. You can get treasures in your hand your opponent doesn't know about and still only lose $1 to the PH if that's what you want.
-
In either case, though, all the cards revealed to your opponent are exactly the same.
Man I just spent 15 minutes typing up an edge case that I thought worked, and then saw this... I had been forgetting that Adventurer would reveal the drawn cards to your opponent. So you aren't giving your opponent more information by playing Adventurer first. :(
-
If you still have actions, you can play labs or something and you have hidden information.
-
Nope. Adventurer and Poorhouse will be the next two actions played, they got golem'd. The PH happens before the labs anyway.
-
I mean for the whole Contraband mindgames later.
Draw Copper, Contraband with Adventurer,
play Poor house, get +2
Play Lab, draw Gold whatever
Play Contraband, you can't buy gold
Buy Grand Market.
-
I mean for the whole Contraband mindgames later.
That still doesn't give you a benefit to playing Adventurer first. At best, you can make the situation such that it doesn't matter which is played first.
-

No, because if you'd played Poor House first, then your opponent would know that you have $6 without Copper. By playing Adventurer first, your opponent only knows that you have $5 without Copper, and $6 with Copper, so he's more likely to proscribe Gold instead of Grand Market.

Ohh. I get it now.
Man, that's the edgiest of edge cases.
-
We did it, guys!
-
In that situation, if you had played PH first, you would not need to play the Contraband in order to buy your GM; you lose nothing in this case by playing PH first.
BTW, If you get to claim knowledge of the rest of your turn before making the PH/Adventurer decision, then I do as well.
---------------
You and your opponent both know that you have a chance for virtual coin and you've turned it down (with no other benefits at all). Then some other stuff happened on your turn. Now, best case, you've played a Contraband and nothing else, and your opponent has no idea what your spending power is.
Now, convince me that an opponent who does not proscribe the card you want the most would be doing so because you turned down the virtual coins. I assert that your opponent is playing suboptimally in this case.
You can edge-case anything if you assume your opponent will play sub-optimally as a result of it. Since you have to use Contraband here, I think it only counts as an edge case if your opponent continues to play optimally, and his best move would change as a result of your having less virtual coins. Without that logical step, you can have stuff like this:
"It can be beneficial to [do Bad Thing], because then my opponent will start to play sub-optimally and [Do Even Worse Thing] and lose!"
-
In that situation, if you had played PH first, you would not need to play the Contraband in order to buy your GM; you lose nothing in this case by playing PH first.
Just replace that Gold you drew from Lab with a Talisman, or other $1 non-copper treasure, and it works.
-
So you turn down up to $2 in virtual coin and your opponent doesn't know what's in your hand. Your case is you don't want to show $6 in non-copper treasure when you play Contraband. If your assumption is that your opponent will proscribe GM in this case, then I assert it would be at least as sub-optimal for your opponent to not proscribe GM as it was for you to take the risk in the first place.
In fact, even if you know it will turn out this way and your opponent doesn't, you'll be at the mercy of your opponent to not proscribe GM in either case, and it's still sub-optimal for your opponent to proscribe anything but GM.
So what this example shows is that you can hurt your buying power on a turn in order to feign weakness using Contraband. But a competent opponent will (at the very least) see you voluntarily turn down virtual money and know something is up. That breaks your assumption that an (incompetent) opponent would blindly not proscribe GM when you are showing less than $6 in non-copper treasure and still have at least one playable card.

Yeah, I have to agree.
Edge case... you are winning, it's your turn, there's 1 Province left, and you have $8 to spend. When should you buy Duchy instead of Province?
You're playing adventure mode on Goko and need more points to get 3 stars.
-
OK, your hand is Shanty Town Smithy Golem Copper Estate.
You play ST and then Golem, finding PH and Adventurer.
In the example we've been talking about, Adventurer draws Copper and Contraband. But we can't know that beforehand. So this is a problem in the example. But let's say you are really good at tracking your deck and there are only two cards left; Golem and Adventurer flipped through everything else so you know that the last two cards are Copper and Contraband. This is an edge case. This is allowed.
So you know your Adventurer will draw Copper and Contraband.
A) If you play PH first, you would get +$3 virtual coin and have in hand Contraband, 2 Copper and a Smithy that you can play. You have $6 in non-Copper coin and your opponent knows it.
B) If you play Adventurer first, you get +$1 virtual coin and have in hand Contraband, 2 Copper and a Smithy that you can play. You have $4 in non-Copper coin, plus 2 Copper on top of that.
You play Smithy. Who knows what you have now!
You are still building your deck, so forget about buying Province. You prefer Grand Market, then Gold, then other things. And your opponent knows this.
In case A, your opponent knows for sure that you can afford that Grand Market by playing Contraband. It's an easy ban for the opponent.
In case B, your opponent doesn't know that! He thus has a choice:
1) Ban Grand Market. You buy Gold, possibly something else thanks to your Smithy draw.
2) Ban Gold. Best case for him is that you still can't afford GM, and now you can't buy Gold either. Worst case for him is that you did indeed draw a Silver or something so you can now buy GM.
I don't think either 1 or 2 is clearly more optimal play for your opponent. He doesn't want you to get GM, but even better if he prevents you from getting Gold as well. It's a risk.
Note that your own play here is a bit of a risk as well because you don't know what you'll end up drawing with Smithy either. but again, I don't think one way or the other is clearly optimal. By playing Adventurer first you give up the chance of (most likely) getting Gold for sure in exchange for a chance to get GM. Your opponent has a choice of letting you have Gold for sure or possibly keeping you from both GM and Gold.

Easy edge case. In Guilds, there is a reaction for when you reveal the certain card from you hand it lets you draw a card. You know what your top card is and want to draw it instead of discarding it with Adventurer.
No, I have no idea of Guilds cards. Yes, I did make up a card just to try and create an edge case.

It's weird - I feel like I've got a feel for all of Hinterlands now, but I'm still not sure on some of the Dark Ages cards.
-
How's this weird?
There has been much more experience with hinterlands cards for most of forum members as it can be played on iso + it's been available several months more.
Or is there some irony I haven't got?

As jonts (http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=6572.msg179569#msg179569) has pointed out, this card has been getting a lot of mentions lately.

It seems like less time, I dunno. Hinterlands has felt like part of the "canon" since this past spring, but Dark Ages still feels "other" on some level.

You needed to empty a third pile to end the game with a lead. Opponent had previously used KC-Embargo to embargo every pile except Tribute.

Er, GendoIkari, if all of the other piles were KC-Embargoed, you'd probably buy out the curses as that would take the least time. If you have the money to buy out the tributes really fast, why are you worried about the golden deck catching up?

So tell me about this Golden Deck that has KC and Embargo in it.

It's Grand Market-Grand Market-KC-Embargo-Bishop-Province. Every turn buy province and embargo.
Edit: It's pretty weak if the provinces get embargoed.

You are only winning by 1 point. You can't afford to take any Curses. And you have a couple Quarries in play; you can't afford to buy out any Victory pile.

Actually the sim has 10 Mandarin, 5/2 start beat Big Money 4/3 start > 0.5% of the time ;)
So therefore 10 Mandarin can beat Big Money and is a valid strat!

The problem is that I don't think it beats BM+3 or 4 mandarins.

But when you buy Inns and put them in your draw-pile, you have to shuffle (but maybe not REshuffle, I don't know...).

To join the edgecasers:
Your opponent has more points than you, because of Goons. And there are two piles emptied and all other piles except Harem, Great Halls and Nobles are down by one card. But you have a Maskerade-Goon-pin, so it is the only way to win. (And as your opponent don't have a Tribute anymore, it doesn't hurt.)

As a native speaker: piledriven just sounds more natural to me, but as I believe piledrive is not really a standard English word (it's used in wrestling, but I guess that it is a technical term there as well) then both should be acceptable. GwinnR's dictionary speaks the truth. ;D
-
You would say "Opponent piledrove" or "Opponent has piledriven".
-
I think the rub is that the verb is not directly derived (deriven?) from the verb "drive" but from the noun "piledriver". So to some people "piledrivered" may even sound more acceptable.
As an aside, this is how I see, as an outsider, English:

The bishop, unlike the other chess pieces, has a bunch of different names in different languages, including runner, bishop, elephant and, of course, madman/jester.
Meanwhile, English is the odd one out for the rook, which almost every other language calls tower or castle.

srsly. it ain't no crow. It's never a crow. It's a tower or castle. (merriam webster suggests it's derived from the Persion "rukh", which seems to be the fabled giant bird aka "roc", but that still makes no sense.)

Try hard!
6 Player game with Pirate Ship. You are the only player to draw 5/2. You buy all the Mandarins, insulating your 5 coppers from the bloodbath of P-ships. With 2$ remaining, you purchase a single Moat, which works much more effectively than your opponent's Moats because you pass it along to each hand using Mandarins. You proceed to buy several Silvers, then Piledrive the Feodums that no other player dares touch because how can they be sure Silver will remain in their deck? Moat is not always there for them.
You dominate all your opponents.
-
EDIT: er, you don't have a 2$ hand, by the time you are done buying Mandarins your deck has exactly 5 coppers. You will actually purchase Moat using your 11th 5$ hand.

There are loads of ways to empty one stack by turn 4 - particularly with 3+ players but also in 2 player (for instance with Ironworks, Armory, Workshop or Hermit).

Well see his solution here (http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=3225.msg92981#msg92981), where he ends the game with 285 points on turn 4.
-
That is very impressive! The on-trash-benefits from Dark Ages can really do crazy stuff.
However, it is also still very far away from emptying the *entire* supply (including all Victory and Treasure cards). Looking forward to the solution for that (particularly the one including Platinums and Colonies)!

It used to be 5 turns, then Dark Ages brought it down to 4.
Even CC and wufwasthat can't beat 11VP by turn 3 (even though you can do some cool things like Gain a Colony or play a Goons on turn 3 with Dark Ages), but I can't wait to see what they can do with whatever pops up in Guilds.

No, it just went around like Witch etc., you didn't get to pick who to hose. It was a wording issue combined with wanting it to scale well. It was "Choose a card in your hand. Each other player gains a copy of it you choose, from your hand or the supply." The published version has clearer interactions, and I didn't want the card to be weaker in two-player games. Then for a while it was the published version except at 3 cards, which turned out to be too generous.

It is meant for bad puns I think... probably only the "turns" one qualifies as a pun I guess. But I dunno of another meme that's better to use for jokes in general.
I imagine the bad joke eel (http://www.quickmeme.com/make/caption/#id=229370232&name=Bad Joke Eel&topic=Advice Animals) would be a better choice. ;)

If you had four cards and discarded awesome silver, would the loop stop? You technically have 3 cards for a moment before you put awesome silver back in your hand... Anyway, awesome silver needs a "may" in its reaction text.

I think "discard down to 3" only happens once. "Discard cards until you have three cards in hand" on the other hand...

The reason is because it is a Silver+ card. For design reasons, these have to be $5. There is discussion on it in the fan cards subforum. I think it is in the stickied design guide. Also it may have been discussed by Donald somewhere in the Secret Histories.

Alternatively there could be a Guilds card that is a downgraded but somewhat DA-friendly gold.
Fragile Cargo
Treasure-5
worth 3$

When you reveal or discard this (other than during your clean-up phase), trash it.
[edit] That's still too strong for a 5-cost gold. There would need to be some additional limitation that applies regardless of the kingdom, like an inability to purchase treasure cards or something else that is not at all like Quarry.
As it stands now though, if you guessed incorrectly with a Mystic, the top card that was revealed is still on top and so you now know for certain what the top card is(at least you do if you were paying attention of you have the goko log). What you do after that is up to you.
It's kinda cool that Mystic can get its extra benefit from a few cards that Wishing Well can't get its extra benefit from such as Lookout, or possibly Spy and Iron Monger.

If he knows he is going to lose, what's so bad about ending the game early instead of sitting through the other guys turn? Especially if you aren't playing with the point counter and he doesn't know for sure who will win if he three piles, its most certainly the right move to make.

By the way, here (https://getsatisfaction.com/goko/topics/so_goko_whats_next_for_dominion) is where Goko mentioned working on Japanese.
Hi.... here are our main priorities:
- get the Facebook version released (it's available in limited release as of the end of this week but we're still testing it out). We'll be working with Facebook on promotion for that once it's burned in for a week or so.
- get the iOS version released -- we have an internal version working but still working out the kinks.
- get the Android version release -- same as above. The good news is that these should be fairly close together.
- getting gameplay experience improved with things like "Quit %" and rank penalizing people who quit.
- server work to reduce the number of issues that effect people.
- database work to reduce the load by introducing some other technologies like redis.
- there are two more promo cards to do plus another expansion coming up.
- We need to get the German and Japanese versions completed (along with a few other languages after that). German is almost done.
- We have the betas for Catan World, Race for the Galaxy, and Empire builder just about to start, so we're working on the operational side for those.
Lots more stuff but those are the ones off the top of my head. :)
Thanks,
John Q.

I discovered the existence of Dominion mid January. I discovered isotropic late January. I discovered there was a solo mode mid-February and trained at goldfishing until the end of February. I did my first 2-man game on the 1st of March. I was level 24 with 280 matches recorded on Isotropic on the 15th. I just had the time to start being addicted to it and I recognize myself quite well in this meme.

With 3 players going hard Beggar-Garden, the Copper, Beggar, and Gardens piles can empty in 8 or 9 turns. Since it basically becomes a toss-up as to which person wins, I am exploring ways to beat the strategy. Playing in 2p does give you a lot more time, but it also gives the Beggar-Garden person time to bloat the deck and he can easily start in on the Duchy pile. Now I feel like making a chart showing the per-turn score of an Beggar-Garden deck... ::)

Actually, I wondered how much buying the first Gold over the first Witch was a mistake.
According to the simulators, assuming a 4/3 start, it loses 41.1 - 55.1 - 3.8 to standard DoubleWitch.

Buy Witch first.
But really, your strategy should depend on more than just those two factors. Is the red mallard for bad advice?

Yes.

Where would the world be without imagelinkfixers?
If being active on F.DS has taught me one thing, it's that there's basically an edge case for everything. And I'm not talking just Dominion-stuff, but really anything. There's always someone who has to point out some stupid factoid about simple metaphors. That's just the way Dominion makes you think.
I'm guilty of this myself. Whenever there's a simple rules question to which a one line answer will suffice (at least for the OP), I'm always thinking: "How can I explain this in more detail?" And what I inevitably end up doing is make things more complicated than need be, even with wrong examples. It's just the mindset that every possible post can be "improved" upon, because Dominion has so many edge cases that you can't really post something default about it.

No. He is saying that in a simple electric motor, an armature rotating back and forth periodically under DC current will always stop itself due to friction unless it is in a frictionless system which is virtually impossible in the world as we know it. Unless they find another world free of friction.......

I couldn't handle a world free of friction. I find watching my baby hard enough as is.

Presumably, if you draw [KC KC KC KC] - torturer, you'll draw 9 cards first and get more targets for your KCs. Either way, every remaining action in your deck is probably going to end up KCed.

How do you trash the Squire?

Well, you could have 3 coppers, squire, WT on t3, chosing +2 buys with squire and buy 2 squires, trashing them with WT.
-

Then you need a golden hand of Squire, WT and 3 Copper. With Talisman, you only need to line up 1 extra copper instead of 3.
But I guess success kid doesn't care about the odds. He probably favours the hard way.
-
Because now you're specifying all five cards of your t3 hand. Bad enough that I was counting on drawing both my openers, I only needed a single copper with them.
-
Well, you could have 3 coppers, squire, WT on t3, chosing +2 buys with squire and buy 2 squires, trashing them with WT.
But this version is much much luck based, you need 3 coppers WT Squire, with the talisman-version it is only neeed Copper Talisman WT.
Sure, both opening combos are pretty hypothetical and will fail most of the time, and in such cases Squire-WT is nicer to continue playing

And more difficult, you need to get Squire, Watchtower and 3 Coppers in hand together to be able to buy and trash two more Squires, while with Talisman, you only need Talisman+Watchtower+1 Copper to pull it off.

You know i realized that after i posted those images but i am teaching to beginner who is a great players of other games and he asked me to play full strength against him always. We are something like 15 vs 0 but he is still continue coming again and again and actually progress very quickly by seeing me play.
So i guess for certain beginners the scumbag Steve academy is probably a better dominion school that the GGG University. I suppose in the end it all depends on the board... i mean on the player ^^
-
Dominating combos do not seem like the best way to understand the game. Most games are not just identifying one combo, but properly combining different pieces. I think trying to build a reasonable engine for several games is best, maybe after identifying exactly how strong a BM+X strategy is to compare.

I prefer to show people how strong combos work so they learn faster. So, rather than hinder my play style, when I see the board, I'll tell everyone exactly how the cards that I plan to use will interact with each other, and why that is a good strategy, then I leave it up to them to mirror me or mess around, or try to counter what I'm doing.
Or, I'll swap a copper or two of theirs for a silver. That seems to work great for most of the people I play with, changes my win rate from most games to slightly more games than other people. The only time that has really backfired on me by totally breaking the game was with a 4/4 start and Treasure Map was on the table, and they connected Treasure Maps on turn 3

How could I be so stupid? It tends to be always a trap: Treasure Map
Edit: I know, that can work nice, if you got Golem and Treasure Map in hand.
-
Edit: I know, that can work nice, if you got Golem and Treasure Map in hand.
Making that work seems like it is more difficult than just making two TMs collide. Of course, let the edge cases come...

You opened 5/2 and grabbed Jester. One opponent went for Golems, and another went for TMs. Your Jesters just happened to hit the right things, and the whole setup was a complete accident?
-
I recently tried a deck with one Coppersmith, one Counting House and multiple Golems. This also was a trap.
-
wait, that sounds like it would work! why is it a trap?
-
wait, that sounds like it would work! why is it a trap?
Well Golem + just 1 Counting House is guaranteed to get all your Coppers in your hand.* Golem + 1 Counting House and 1 Coppersmith might only pick you up a couple Coppers; depending all on luck... also, with no +buy, unless it's a Colony game, it's pointless... just buy 1 Copper and the Counting House/Golem is a Province every time you draw the Golem... what good is having $14 or $16 to spend instead?
*Edge case: you draw both in the same hand.

This is possibly my favorite yet. huzzah good sir!

wait, that sounds like it would work! why is it a trap?
Too slow. Sometimes I got no Golem in hand, sometimes I got Golem and either Coppersmith or Counting House getting a terminal conflict. Took 19 turns to get 4 Provinces.

Yeah, if it's a Province game, I'm positive that you would be better off replacing the Coppersmith with a Copper... though I believe that's been shown to still be too slow for most boards.

I think the problem with these setups is that if you don't get to $8, there's nothing you can buy to improve your deck. You non-Golem hands are aren't just weak... they're very nearly wasted.
IMO, an deck like this desperately wants a sifting +action, both to draw the Golems more frequently and to play the terminals that collide with them. I recently stumbled into a similar setup: 1 Golem, 2 Scheme, 2 Apothecary, and 1 Coppersmith. To my surprise, that was good for something like 7 provinces in 15 turns despite an unopposed enemy Sea Hag.
I definitely would have added an Arrested Development if it had been in the kingdom.

Well, he will only gain 2 Silvers since you'll probably stop playing Mountebanks once you see his Trader.

Unless he doesn't reveal it until the last Mountebank. Then you wouldn't know he has one. :D
-
Unless he doesn't reveal it until the last Mountebank. Then you wouldn't know he has one. :D
Then he takes on 2 Coppers and 2 Curses for nothing... Or if he was discarding curses, that still doesn't make sense because he couldn't know you had THREE MBs, and he wants those Silvers. To not reveal Trader the first time would be very suboptimal (especially throwing in that it meant you would have $6 to spend instead of just $2).

Oooh! I got this one. Your opponent has a lot of Gardens, Fairgrounds, and Feodums, 10n+6 total cards in his deck, and 5m+4 distinct cards in his deck, for some m and n. He had previously trashed all his coppers for some reason. He also has an exact multiple of 3 silvers in his deck, so gaining two more doesn't give him any more points. Two piles are empty (probably the Gardens and Fairgrounds) there are exactly two silvers left in the supply, and there is more than one province. You are ahead on points and there is no +buy in the kingdom, so you can gain at most 6 points from a province buy this turn (your gardens, feodums, and fairgrounds couldn't power up no matter what you get), and can't end the game on piles unless your opponent reveals his trader. If he reveals his trader to the first mountebank, the game ends with his loss. So he doesn't, gains copper and a curse, but now has 5(m+1) distinct cards ... which puts your opponent ahead in points but not enough to win if you buy the province. When you play the second mountebank, that adds two cards to his deck but takes away a point. When you play the third mountebank, that would give 10(n+1) total cards in your opponent's deck and so he now takes them as silver to end the game ahead of what you could possibly get from provinces.

If he was going for Gardens AND Fairgrounds, it is extremely unlikely (stupid, really) that he would have trashed all his Coppers, and it's also improbable that he would still have zero Coppers or Curses in a Mountebank game, especially given that you have at least 3 Mountebanks. Not to mention that if he is somehow missing both Copper and Curse, it is probably ill-advised for you to play Mountebank anyway.

Ah, but you see, why do you trash the original? It's not as though you had to destroy the original to make a copy of it. All the card art shows is a paint brush. Why do you need to destroy the original to paint some money?

Oh well, I wish they would have called the treasure cards as something that provides money, not as actual money, like Gold Mine, Silver Mine etc.. I recall Donald did try it that way but it didn't sit right with the play-testers. I can see their reasoning as that way they become too much like Action cards.

You know, DXV raised exactly this objection when I suggested the name, though I guess he got over it.
Counterfeit is interesting although it's the wrong uh type of name for a treasure. It would have to be like Counterfeit Coins. It doesn't really fit with trashing the treasure though. That treasure was real. Maybe that's okay though.
I thought of it as a one-shot: you can't pass the Counterfeit a second time because they've caught on.
Counterfeit is technically a noun too, but you won't be able to convince anyone it's not a verb on first sight.
No I mean, the treasure you copied wasn't counterfeit. I have a Silver; it's Silver. I Counterfeit it; I get the $2 from the Silver itself, and $1 from Counterfeit for some kind of added value I guess, and $2 from the counterfeit copy of the Silver, which is a phantom that never goes in my deck or anything. But I also trash the Silver. It was Silver, it was fine.
-
The real Silver was lost/siezed in a government raid on youer operation? I guess you are the government, so maybe not.
Perhaps you damage the original Silver in making the molds for casting the fake Silvers, and each mold is fragile and breaks after 2 uses, so you lose an original, gain 2 one-shot fakes, and then melt down the original to recover a modicum of value from it?
-
Clearly you were charged a fine for being convicted of conterfeiting.
-
Since you are the government:
Isn't counterfeit negative for the economy of your kingdom. So that it boost your economy of the short terms but breaks it a little on the long terms. I always understood the counterfeit card this way.
I also always considered treasures are representing your source of income (like taxes on your kingdom i guess) more than real hard treasure. because otherwise it doesn't really make sense to reuse them again and again.
-
Man, I've let go of trying to explain card names since the base game, it's such a futile effort. I'm sure we could have come up with better names in hindsight.
-

Well, since you are the government, you are the one to pay the expenses for that government raid.

I thought that counterfeit trashed your treasure because it was devaluing currency via inflation, and trashing a treasure was just a convenient way to represent the economic impact.
-
I thought Counterfeit was called Counterfeit because you got double the value out of the original Treasure, and then I didn't think about it any more. :P
-
Here's the thing you guys are all missing -- that Silver, the one you're trashing? It was a counterfeit Silver all along. But then you got greedy, and tried to spend your counterfeit money twice as fast, and you got caught, so they took it away.

My view on Counterfeit:
You're making less expensive metals look like more expensive metals, and that's why you lose the less expensive metal. In Dominion world, it's enough to buy some things if you just show your treasures to the guy selling things, you don't actually have to give those treasures away, but with counterfeit treasures, in the long run you'll face the risk of getting caught so you're selling that counterfeit treasure and spending whatever you got as soon as possible (this turn).

You Counterfeit a Copper and get +$3 total: you made that Copper into a Gold.
You Counterfeit a Silver and get +$5 total: you make that Silver into a Platinum.

You Counterfeit a Platinum and get +$11 total: you somehow made that Platinum into a Colony. Holy crap you are a master counterfeiter.

Because you're the king of a small kingdom, with very little resources and land, and you want more. You spend the game by first taking over the means of production to earn money, then leverage that money by bribing important officials to do work for you. Eventually you either take over the empire, or get enough of the population on your side to make you the de-facto ruler.
Dominion: secretly the most political game in the world.
-
The whole "but you are the government" got me thinking; If you're the king, why can't you just take all the stuff you want?
You are a monarch, like your parents before you, a ruler of a small pleasant kingdom of rivers and evergreens. Unlike your parents, however, you have hopes and dreams! You want a bigger and more pleasant kingdom, with more rivers and a wider variety of trees. You want a Dominion! In all directions lie fiefs, freeholds, and feodums. All are small bits of land, controlled by petty lords and verging on anarchy. You will bring civilization to these people, uniting them under your banner.
But wait! It must be something in the air; several other monarchs have had the exact same idea. You must race to get as much of the unclaimed land as possible, fending them off along the way. To do this you will hire minions, construct buildings, spruce up your castle, and fill the coffers of your treasury. Your parents wouldn’t be proud, but your grandparents, would be delighted.

Ours: Each player may trash a Treasure card from his hand. You gain a Treasure costing up to $6 more than the Treasure you trashed, putting it into your hand; each other player gains a Treasure costing up to $3 more than the treasure he trashed, putting it into his hand.

*Death Cart and Altar are both Feast variants*
It's a pity that neither of them link that well to it thematically (unless what you sacrifice on the ... no, let's not go there).
Eh, I don't think I agree with that.
Altar gains up to $5, but it is also a trasher and is not a one-shot. Do you consider University to be a Feast variant, since it also gains $5 cards? Eh, I guess I can see it as a Feast variant, though it's a stretch. However, I don't see DC fitting in at all. DC gives virtual coin, which I think is very different from gaining a card.
-

Altar gains up to $5, but it is also a trasher and is not a one-shot. Do you consider University to be a Feast variant, since it also gains $5 cards?
Altar, Death Cart and Feast all require you to trash a card to get $5 of value. The details of course make them feel very different.
-
I tend to consider Pillage as a Feast variant; the Spoils produce $6 of value later.

Leo is very good at tracking decks.

Hey, was Leo peeking at his hand? How did he know about the Colonies?
Two turns ago, Leo used a Spy leaving a Colony on top, then Ghost Ship. His opponent had Colony/Colony/Colony/Herald/Ambassador, so he put the Herald and the Ambassador back on top to potentially improve his next turn. Then Leo played an Oracle, but he left those two cards there because they are relatively useless in a deck full of valuable green cards. Finally, Leo played Kings Court->Bureaucrat, forcing his opponent to place the three Colonies on his deck. Therefore, Leo now knows that in two turns' time, his opponent will have the same Colony/Colony/Colony/Herald/Ambassador hand, and the first card the Herald draws will be a Colony.
I am sure that some variation of this leaves an Oasis in his opponent's hand to discard one of the Colonies first.

Actually, he's just looking at the mirror behind his opponent.
-
Oh. I thought maybe he'd just played a Cutpurse.
That doesn't sound like one of Leo's turns...
I think he is playing a Bureaucrat pin so he can get enough points from his Monuments, but it took him so long to set it up that his opponent has 7 Colonies, 7 Provinces, 7 Duchies, 7 Estates, and 8 Silk Roads, and can win just by buying out the Curses and the Copper.

why bother playing herald then? there's a risk that you draw another throne room instead of another colony, so you have to give them 4. Plus, winning by 21 points is better that winning by 1 point.

It works without buying the Curse if there were 2 Colonies left only and ahead by 21+ VP.

Huh? I am missing something. Herald reveals TR, hand is Amb-Colony (and probably nothing else). Where does a second TR come in? You would need a second Amb as well to have to reveal Colony four times. And if you had a second Amb in hand anyway, you could just reveal Amb to send that over instead of Colonies.

The problem is that the game ends because curses run out, not beacause colonies run out.

*Death Cart and Altar are both Feast variants*
It's a pity that neither of them link that well to it thematically (unless what you sacrifice on the ... no, let's not go there).
Eh, I don't think I agree with that.
Altar gains up to $5, but it is also a trasher and is not a one-shot. Do you consider University to be a Feast variant, since it also gains $5 cards? Eh, I guess I can see it as a Feast variant, though it's a stretch. However, I don't see DC fitting in at all. DC gives virtual coin, which I think is very different from gaining a card.
Altar turns a card into your hand into a Feast.

How can you call that one of the highlights of the second season? I mean, "Elementary, Dear Data", "A Matter of Honor", "The Measure of a Man", "Contagion", "Time Square", "Q Who", "The Emissary", and "Peak Performance" are all clearly above it, in my view. And a few of these are actually really good.

Of your list I've got to put "Peak Performance" on the top, but "A Matter of Honor" is some seriously fun Trek.
"The Measure of a Man", as I've said before, is more than just good Trek; it is good for your soul. I don't even put it in the same class as the others.

Well golly. A herald can let you play two successful tacticians on the same turn. Now that's something.

Herald by itself can't, you need to Throne/King/Procession it. Golem would work too, but Golem can already achieve simultaneous Tacticians.

Though with Herald in the kingdom, you just need an enormous amount of money to overpay for it to set it up. Probably not worth it, though.

Not in connection with BLB, is it? After all that'd be an 18 point swing.

6 point swing, you don't have to return any Provinces. Success Baby gives his opponent the last Province, ending the game and winning by 1 point.

Playing that Herald when you know you have an Ambassador in your deck, though, that's not bad luck, it's bad play. Like when I played Lookout after Apothecary, and had to trash a Storeroom on turn 9 (duh...)

Does this really work? I think you get the Market Square after you have trashed the cards. So you don't have it in hand, when they are trashed.

Basically, multiple things happen at the same time so you pick the order. The 'card being trashed' state turns on when you trash a card and turns off when you finish resolving all on trash effects. So you trash cultist, draw 3 cards and then resolve other on trash effects including MS discards even if you just drew it.

Edge case where it makes sense: It's a bad board - no extra buys (except possibly in the BM deck), only Highways for $5. You just so happened to draw $4 with four highways, a Watchtower and Black Market (obviously some on deck, drawn from the Highway) and thanks to deck tracking, you know your next hand will be mostly Duchies and Provinces, but there is also your Masquerade coming amongst the 5 cards, and it'd cause a reshuffle, if you can play it safely. So Black Market turns up Scout, you buy it for $0 and top deck it with Watchtower, then buy a Province, next turn, you Masquerade over Scout.
...Let's see if people can't put holes into this scenario.

(and don't tell me that having $43 can't happen in a cursing game. Everything can happen in Dominion)
-
It can definitely happen; at the very least, if you have good trashing, then after all the curses are gone they'll soon all get trashed.

Pretty sure there's a meme out of this.
Deck has no +buy

Thanks.. wonder why it's not loading for me? It had already been pointed out earlier that Advisor was the perfect card for giving bad advice... not clear to me why that one would get so much respect; maybe I'm just missing the joke?

I was more thinking:
knows there's no +buy in deck
Builds engine to generate $43 per turn
Now I put it like that...

Well, if you name Curse, nothing happens since you put the cards back in any order.
Well, I didn't actually reveal them. I wanted them, it was a good FG deck by then. The insanity would be trashing them into Gold, just so you can trash the Gold, all for no benefit. There's a perverse appeal to that sort of thing...

If you did that with enough confidence you might scare your opponent into thinking it's a good thing. Like never break eye contact with them throughout the whole Gold trashing process.

Clearly planning to passive-Governer Mint to Altar, using Bakers coin token or Altar to get Ambassador and play Necropolis/Ambassador/Altar to gain/trash a Catacombs and hand out a Curse every turn. The Curse is also a defensive measure to avoid being swamped by other opponents opening Mountebank and keep the engine working.

better deck: highway, highway, KC, KC, smugglers, native village. Now you get 3 copies. This is a kingdom with no +buy or attacks.
-
How will he beat Leo if Leo is in lead?
-
he has a few point on the NV mat, so he is in the lead? yeah, not practical.
-
I PLAY FESTIVAL, THRONE ROOM ON BRIDGE, SMUGGLERS AND NATIVE VILLAGE, SETTING ASIDE THE CARD I JUST GAINED BY SMUGGLERS. NOW EVERY TURN I GAIN A COPY OF ANY CARD YOU COULD BUY UNTIL THE END OF THE GAME.
it's edge case o'clock! you wouldn't be able to smuggle colonies, platinum, and potion cost cards
-
Or cards not in the Supply.
-
How will he beat Leo if Leo is in lead?
He Smuggles the last Province to tie and then buys a Duchy to steal the lead! (Except when you replace Festival with Crossroads he only has $2 and the Duchy costs $3. But let's say he King's Courts the Bridge instead of Thrones it.)

You need a trasher to get down to that deck. So unless the other player takes bishop you can't get there, and even then you'll be behind in VP if he does.
-
The trasher is on the native village mat.
Edit: Heck, you don't even need a trasher. Native village ALL the cards.

Yeah, no trasher needed. NV-Bridge is self-sufficient.
-
Yeah, no trasher needed. NV-Bridge is self-sufficient.
Yep, give NV/Bridge (only) a try, if you haven't ever before. It really doesn't take anything else, and it's a remarkably quick megaturn deck. Turn 12 all-Province piledrives aren't uncommon with it, and even worst-case it'll still be ready to buy 8 VP cards by turn 15-16.
Edit: it is hard to speed up, as well. With Throne Room I've done a turn 11 piledrive once or twice, but you also have a slightly better chance of slowing the deck down, too (e.g. by playing too many TR + NV's, rather than TR + Bridges). Workshop in the mix can net more total VP, but doesn't actually speed up the megaturn at all.
-
Alright, I get it. No trasher needed. Wait...what's not needed again? I forgot. I think you guys need more posts about what's not needed.

Or buy Colonies
Or play out your Goons/Bishop/Monument engine. Or just have 1 Estate in your deck to begin with so that your opponent will lose if he mirrors your buys.

Or buy a curse with Watchtower every turn! Better yet, Bishop.
Edit: Oh no I got it better. Strip your deck down to Native Village, Armory, Cantrip and Ambassador and gain *and* give them a Curse every turn. It's more spiteful that way.

This is not a "scumbag" move, its just the right move.
-
It would be a Scumbag move if he had another Village and didn't have to show his hand, but he's showing his hand just to spite you and give you a false hope that he might misplay it. And now if you do have a Curse in your hand you have to consider whether or not to discard it and have a playable 3 card hand or keep it for Mountebank and only play with 2 cards.

The Fortress/Market Square one is probably intended as a question when there is no trashing.

Uh, yes, the joke is on me. It wouldn't be very polite to cite another real person as the idiot, but there's nothing wrong with citing oneself.

Wow, I just realized that Fortress is, like, the ultimate Governor counter.

The answer to the age-old riddle:
"Why did the chicken open Fortress/Market Square?"
"Because Governor was on the board!"

Edit: Image is not showing for some reason?
-
I can see it.
Edit: Although I can't see how Fortress really counters Governor. It only does something against the remodel effect, as best I can tell, and that's the least used option on Governor. I guess the idea is if they start turbo remodelling at endgame you're getting maybe an extra Duchy out of it, maybe two? Ehh.

No, I mean I tried to post an image in response to his, but it didn't show up.

Don't use quickmeme if you can help it. It doesn't let you copy the image directly, because it's terrible. Best I've been doing is opening the source and finding the image directly (easy if you know what to look for)

I'm not sure what that means. I was using quickmeme, so I guess that's why it didn't work. Ironically, the meme that I made was Sudden Clarity Clarence with the text "We could have an entire conversation using just memes".

It also greatly discourages them from using the Governor to remodel their Silvers or Estates. This is not as uncommon as you claim it to be. If your opponent doesn't end on a megaturn (which also isn't that uncommon), you don't lose the Fortress while also gaining a Duchy or another $5 card.
If you build an engine using Fortress as a source of +action and your opponent just goes for the Governor deck, being able to share every one of his remodels seems like a pretty potent counter to me.

I've rarely seen the remodel get used during the early/midgame. Then again, I have a lot less experience with Governor than most non-Guilds cards. Letting your opponent turn their Estates into Silvers/other $3's is often not much less useful than you turning Estates into $4's, although I guess certain key cards make it more common. And if your opponent does have a lot of Fortressess... don't use the remodel option? If you were banking on remodeling for something, then yeah I guess it counters it, but it seems pretty rare to me.

The KEY use of Governor early/midgame IMO is to remodel Silver --> Gov and buy a Gov to win the Gov split. Yes the opponent free trashing copper is "bad" but it's no game breaker compared to a 6-4 or 7-3 Gov split.

Huh, really? I don't think I've ever either done that or had it done against me. Interesting... although such a scenario requires you to have $7 in hand. Not unreasonable if you have a few Governors I guess.

Gah Steve just end the game.
-
Don't forget the Outpost turn on which he buys 9 Scouts.
-
Edge case: Opponent has 7 Colonies and 1 Duchy.
-
Edge case #2: There were only 7 Provinces left in the supply, and he wanted to play that Possession first just to see if Goko makes you play the extra turns after the game should be over so that he can give feedback if there is a bug!
-
No, that edge case is still scumbag steve. If you want to test out goko bugs, do it in a game vs bots or vs yourself, not vs a live opponent.

If you don't know :
The "Chroniques du Monde Emergé" (it is called so in French) by Licia Troisi (Italian) is a trilogy about Nihal, dreaming at first of riding dragons and getting away, then trying to avenge her father and friends whose place has been destroyed by the "Tyran", an evil Lord who destroys everything (classical). Problem : even though there's no doubt she masters the arts of sword, no female was allowed so far in the army, so her fight starts here. Plus there is something very important about this girl but here is BIG SPOIL : she is ------------the last half-elf alive in this place !!!-------
It's all about : place of women in society first, then determination, loneliness and friendship, what makes a true warrior... and it has some dreamful landscapes, too.
And the dragon in the pic above is called "Oarf" in French, so Wharf.

Crap, I just realized that Smugglers is 6 or less, not 3 to 6. I feel stupid now...
No need to, i didn't get what you guys were talking about for a looooong time...
"And now for something completely different."
What is this? I don't even...
Ever played a rats kingdom against AI? Both Androminion and Goku bots can't handle the card very well.
Is anybody else from Dragon Ball good at playing it?
I edited that, so there's no way to prove i did something wrong. :P
-
How did Asper get more the 6 respect for that?
Yeah, he should have gotten 3 to 6 respect from the previous poster...
We both got 6! I smuggled your respect!

I don't doubt it. Actually i only heard about Goko, as i don't own Dark Ages there. But for Androminion i know from personal experience that if an AI player ever gains a Rats at any time, it will play Rats and replace cards with them until the pile is out and will ultimatively have no other cards but Rats.

But that's not bad luck. That's just not matching an arbitrarily defined pattern. The pattern doesn't have anything to do with Brian's goal (to win a game of Dominion), so it's not bad luck. It would be like if an RNG chose an integer from 1 to 1000 and gave me 583, and then I exclaimed, "Man, that just missed 582! What awful luck!"

You can easily get 1 + 3n buys by KC-ing things, but you can often add in some extra buys by having some non-KC'd +buy cards, or the weird case of KC-ing a pawn or Squire.

Better: I play Apprentice, trashing a Cultist, discarding 3 Market Squares for 3 Golds, drawing those same 3 Market Squares on the Cultist's on-trash, then discarding them again for 3 more golds. Then draw 2 of your 6 new Golds and 3 Market Squares with the Apprentice's +cards. (Later playing the Market Squares to draw 3 more Golds).

Estate is embargoed. Buying it will give you a Curse.
Edit: Imagine this hand: C/S/S/B/P. Playing Princess, you can buy Duchy and Estate, gain a Curse and end the game. Playing Butcher and trashing Princess, you can gain the Estate and still buy Duchy. It's an edge case, after all.

I do it typically only once I'm certain that my opponent has a way of ending with a win. Once I'm certain of that, a "gg" can help as a subtle reminder that they can end the game and that I don't like sitting through long and overplayed mega-turns.

I dunno, I feel like a good proportion of the time when my opponent does this they actually don't realize that they can end the game. I don't usually feel like helping them out.

Yeah, but oftentimes they will win eventually, so I don't have any qualms about pointing it out.

I just noticed you could also trash the Silver, keep the Tokens, gain an Estate for the trashed Silver and still buy Duchy using the tokens. It's not better, but a different way to achieve it, that usually will feel more natural. I'll just claim he's going for Feodum, therefore :P

The only thing i can think of are mind games. For example, you know one of the treasures Adventurer will reveal is Contraband and want to make it appear as if you have so much money you don't actually care about -2$. By this you hope to increase the chance of your opponent naming a card you couldn't afford even with those 2$, a Colony for example, so you can buy the card you want (Province).

Well, if you insist...
I was using http://pixlr.com/ , an online Photoshop clone, in an attempt to turn Scout into an old-school Soviet propaganda poster, a la that other thread with Farming Village. I was going to add a Russian caption with something like "Find Victory", it would have been hilarious trust me. But as I was messing around with effects to find that classic Cold War aesthetic, I accidentally applied the kaleidoscope filter. I decided it looked even more hilarious, gave up on my other idea, and posted this instead.
So that's the amazing true story of Infinite Scout Vortex. Mostly I said that though because I thought it sounded funny, maybe like the plot of Half Life 3:
"Oh no Dr. Freeman, you've created an Infinite Scout Vortex!!!"
*millions of Scouts pour out of the vortex*

OK. That's even better! It suggests that he just had a string of high quality hands before his dead hand, rather than after.

I took it to mean that he drew his whole deck including discard pile... which means that he had 9 cards in his deck, which were 4 Provinces, 4 Curses, and a Crossroads. Which is probably More bad-at-Dominion Brian than Bad Luck Brian, but Perhaps he's been on the receiving end of a really massive Knights attack?

He was using something like Apprentice or Salvager to get what he had, but then was hit by a massive Knights attack.

And if you never use the tokens for any of the turns? Sure, you can wait to use them up for another play of Possession, but that just forces your opponent to use them up before that next play.

It was more of a joking reply anyway.
But seriously -- if your opponent was foolish enough to leave coin tokens available after you had purchased Possession, thn maybe you should leave those tokens alone for future Possession turns, especially if you can play Possession enough that you expect to use their deck more than your own. :P

Your opponent could have been carefully tracking your deck and was certain you couldn't play a Possession, and simply made an error in his tracking. Or, your opponent was in a state where his only chance to win would be to spend his coin tokens next turn. (Say, one Province left, he only had $7 with tokens but new he would draw enough for $8 next turn), but he also knew that you didn't have enough economy to buy the Province on your own. Thus his only chance of winning is to gamble on the chance that you don't have a Possession and he can end the game next turn.)

Hold it, I just realized that you could be playing KC-Possession, generating coin tokens for them on one of their turns, then using them on the last Possession turn or something. But yeah, perhaps the better meme would be:

The key play to making this strategy work is naming Coppersmith for Wishing Well on turn 4 when he didn't have any Coppersmiths:
Stef plays Wishing Well
Stef draws Copper
Stef names Coppersmith
Stef reveals Estate
Looks funny, but if you look at the full turn:
Stef: turn 4
Stef plays Wishing Well
Stef draws Copper
Stef names Coppersmith
Stef reveals Estate
Stef plays JackOfAllTrades
Stef gains Silver
Stef places Estate on top of deck
Stef trashes Estate
Stef plays 3 Copper
Stef buys Scheme
Stef gains Scheme
Stef shuffles deck
Stef draws Wishing Well, Estate, Scheme, Wishing Well, Copper
He probably knew the last card was an Estate , but if he wished for the Estate, then Jack would have made him reshuffle when it looked at the top card of his deck. Classic wishing for the impossible~

This was my thought - first Province on, what, turn 13? That seems pretty slow for a Jack deck.
Does anyone have a theory on why Watno hadn't gotten 4 Provinces by turn 13 or 14 (or am I misremembering the Jack baseline)?

Shuffle luck. He hit $5 twice early, and then hit $7 on turns 7, 8, 9, 10.
$5 and $7 are pretty bad spots for a BM deck.

Would Upgrades slow down the Jack? Is it better to just buy Jacks and money?
Plus, Turn 7:
Watno: turn 7
Watno plays JackOfAllTrades
Watno gains Silver
Watno discards Estate
Watno plays 3 Copper, 2 Silver
Watno buys Gold
Watno gains Gold
Watno draws Copper, JackOfAllTrades, Copper, Silver, Silver
He discarded instead of drew to trash the Estate, and he already had $6 in hand to buy a Gold. (Maybe he was hoping to draw a Silver to get a Province here.) That could possibly make a difference between a Province buy later. Actually he drew Silver, Estate, Copper, Copper, Gold for Turn 10 and could only buy a Gold.
He seemed to draw a lot of $5 hands.. there was a Duchy purchase on Turn 12, and that was the first victory card purchase. There were $5 hands before that. Maybe just unlucky?

I think Upgrade helps Jack in general, but Poor House hurts it in this case.
...so I don't understand Stef's strategy at all. But I guess that is status quo.
On this board I think I would open JoaT/Silver, taking Province > Gold > Mystic > second Jack. Maybe Scheme. 5/2 Open I'd probably still go Jack/nothing.

It's a joke, yes. Or it would be, except that he ended the game with one Poor House and no Coppers at turn 17.

We both didn't think about poor house messing up upgrade, until Stef trashed his first copper.

Is it a given that Death Cart/Silver/Silver is better than Death Cart/Ruins/Ruins? I mean, without the Ruins it will be harder to use the Death Cart.

If you're going for a Trader deck you are mostly going for BM or slog and then the conneting of Ruins+DC will be quite unlikely. And then you have basically 4$ more in your deck. If you manage to hit one ruin, you keep your DC one more time, but you have still less Silver. Maybe it's worth the risk, but mehh.. (Maybe it's a Feodum game :) )
Either way, the main point is that a Trader gain 2 Silvers when hitting Estate. With DC, it does even when you have no estates with Trader in hand.

I think the question here is "Is it a given that Death Cart/Silver/Silver is better than Silver/Silver/Silver?".

I don't think so, especially, as with Trader/Estate/3 Coppers in hand the Estate is trashed.
But the meme was more about this:

I don't think so, especially, as with Trader/Estate/3 Coppers in hand the Estate is trashed.
But how is the Estate related? I'm just asking whether or not you want to reveal Trader for Death Cart, and I think no, since it's so early in the game and the DC would be just overkill. Unless there's Tournament.

But if you reveal Trader for DC, you don't get the extra ruins (or Silvers), because you haven't gained it.

Ok, you ment this so. I thought you wanted to say, that Trader/Estate/3 Coppers in hand would be better.
But achmed_sender said it: You won't get the Silvers, because you gain no Death Cart.

I don't really understand this. He is actually advising him in the buy-phase in this meme. And it is not you who has the choice of blocking something.
I think it must be "then I can advise your opponent during your buy-phase too", which wouldn't be such a bad advise, providing that your opponent listens to this advisor...

Maybe Greg was slightly behind and his opponent is a gambler, but Greg managed to pull ahead that last turn. :)
-

It's a Gardens game, and Greg's opponent is in the lead and Gold is the last pile to empty. However, that Oracle drew more actions for Greg (when he had +actions to spare) and he ended up buying something during his buy phase that put him over the top.
At the time the Golds were gained, they were gained "for the win," (i.e. in such a way so that gaining them ensured that the game would end and at the time they were gained, the gaining player was in the lead) but it turned out that the other player lucked into a last-moment win instead.

except, you know that your opponent expects to take the lead this turn since he offered you the chance to discard your tunnels for the three pile, so you should not reveal them.
-
though if they know that you should not reveal them, they should assume you won't reveal them, and so it would be better to leave them on top. Though I suppose there could be situations where you would rather have two tunnels on top of your deck instead of two random cards, and your opponent knows it is such a scenario because they saw your hand from a cutpurse or something.

Uuhh... What? It's not like you had a choice to not reveal cards from the top of your deck for Oracle. Or reveal Tunnel from your hand to it. All of this "Why would you reveal them" makes no sense.

You get the gold when you reveal Tunnel as a result of discarding it. The revealing that takes place with Oracle is separate. So Oracle reveals two Tunnels, player makes you discard the Tunnels. You then have the option to reveal each Tunnel for a Gold.

The power of Black Market is inversely proportional to the balanced-ness of the board. If the board is missing one or two critical elements, Black Market can be a killer. If the board is generally either powerful or weak, Black Market rarely adds much.

Maybe instead of making a new expansion for Dominion, they could follow the lead of many collectable card games and release "premium" versions of existing cards.

This picture confuses me. What is going on here? I'm a flower with a stem and theory is a different-colored stemless flower?
So I tried the link below it, looking for explanation -- nope. Please help! ???
The flowers are pansies. The link is a fan made card that at one point was called Flower Seller but not anymore. Tying it all together is too much to ask of pretty much anyone, though, so don't feel bad. Now that I've explained the joke is it more or less funny? I think less but then it came into the world rapidly approaching zero humor, anyhow.
Wow, you managed to be offensive in two entirely different ways now. Congratulations.
Wow, only with your post, asper, did I figure out that pingpongsam was calling me a pansy. I guess I'm slow, lol.
Either way: I'm not a pansy. Take that! I just gave you quite the timely and forceful comeback, pingpongsam!

Hmmm? ConMan has a good joke about witches?
Well I have *a* joke ...
Maybe instead of making a new expansion for Dominion, they could follow the lead of many collectable card games and release "premium" versions of existing cards. Like holographic foils, or alternative art. If they did that with the base game then every time my opponent plays a Witch I could go "Curses - foiled again!"
I'll trade you a Mine in Mint condition.

Damn those blindbags! I have enough Sir Michaels to make a kingdom pile of them, and not a single Sir Bailey! I'll trade one of my "Special Looter Edition" Chancellors they gave out with the "Dominion - the Movie" tickets for one of those.

The Looter Chancellor isn't any different from the regular Chancellor, you just put out the Ruins when he's in the game.

Chancelooter, Action - Looter, 3$

You may put your deck in your discard. You may look at the top Ruins of the Ruins pile.

In games using this, if neither Cultist, nor Death Cart or Marauder are used in the game (or are in the Black Market), you may not buy nor gain cards from the Ruins pile.
The more i think about it, the more i think they were just trying to make money :(

However, I really enjoy jokes about mine - yours.

Aren't the Mine/Mint jokes already meta-jokes? They are mocking the ancient dominion meme of confusing Mine and Mint on Iso.

I don't get it.
Let me explain it, then:
Beginning some time ago, people started making lengthy, boring explanations for gags they did whenever somebody didn't get the original joke. Those explanations were soon considered some kind of meta-joke, that is, a joke about a joke. Consider overly-lengthy jokes, a Seth MacFarlane specialty, where a scene is stretched so much that it's not funny anymore, and this scene gets stretched even more so that some consider it becoming funny again. Explaining jokes work on the same premise that doing something that is inherently un-funny becomes fun if people know it's supposed to be funny. In this concrete case, the meta gag is that some people might consider it superfluous and unfunny to repeatedly critizise the use of a gag that they feel isn't done as much as the act of critizising it. Under the meta-gag premise, this kind of overdoing something unfunny to a gag becomes a gag again. As - if you don't consider Mine/Mint jokes annoying - it works on the same premise as explanation jokes, this makes Anti-Mine/mint-jokes-complaints a meta-joke of their own.
My claim that such meta jokes were hilarious is itself a joke, by the way. Shall i explain it?

I thought the point of the meme was that he says that about things which are at best mildly dangerous...

In the movie, wasn't he playing blackjack when this happened? Like, the antagonist has 17, and then hits even though it's risky, but still wins. Austin only has 5, but says this and chooses to stay anyway, despite being guaranteed a loss.
I know of course that memes' contexts often change over time. But it seems like considering it's a direct reference to another card game there should be a close Dominion analogy. My brain is too fried from work though to think of anything funny right now haha

Indeed, the point is that he stands on 5, which is not "dangerous" so much as "nonsensical." The action taken could not possibly have been the correct one.
You bought no cards on turns 1 and 2? I too like to live dangerously.

Edgiest edge-case I can think of: You want to build a crazy engine with $5+ cards and only one Silver, which you already have off your opponents Embassy-buy. And it is so important not to get more Silver, that you risk it not to get to $5 next shuffle.
Ok, I think this will never happen ;-)
-
The bad guy in the blackjack game has knowledge of the top of the deck, so he knows he won't lose if he hits - seems like there should be an even more accurate Dominion analogy with deck-tracking. (Of course, he did get this knowledge by cheating...)

Oh.... then that is my fail. :P

Very funny. I see you really thought about what i said - or was it just about how to make fun of it?
Treasury, Treasure-Duration, 5$
Each buy phase this is in play it produces 1$.
---
Do not discard this during cleanup.
---
While this is in play, when you buy a Victory card, discard this.
Treasury is basically a Copper that stays in play until you buy a Victory card.
Bureaucrat decreases the number of useful cards in your opponents hand and gives you money (like Militia). It does both things next turn (though i admit Silver gain/+2$ is not a perfect match).
Edit: Also Copper is basically the best 0$ there is, which further invalidates your "point".
Edit: I have been rude here because i didn't get the joke.

Bureaucrat really only has its effect one of the turns, though. Either that victory card is useful this turn (Nobles, Harem, with a Baron, with a trasher, etc.) or it's dead weight. In the former, then it's not a dead card next turn. In the latter, it's not a dead card this turn. And it only gives you the money next turn. So it's really straddling the duration.
(Edge case: If opponent has Baron, Estate and three Copper, then top-decking their Estate hurts them this turn and it's a dead card next turn if they don't have anything else to use it. It similarly can mess the opponent up if he has something like a Chapel.)

In the former, then it's not a dead card next turn. In the latter, it's not a dead card this turn. And it only gives you the money next turn. So it's really straddling the duration.
(Edge case: If opponent has Baron, Estate and three Copper, then top-decking their Estate hurts them this turn and it's a dead card next turn if they don't have anything else to use it. It similarly can mess the opponent up if he has something like a Chapel.)
I don't mean "Duration" as srictly as you probably think - Sea Hag and Ghost Ship are also cards with delayed effects and just happen to reach it without staying in play another turn. So while they don't need the Duration type, they clearly go with Seaside's concept. Treasury is a good example for a card that manages to do a "Duration" effect without needing a Duration type.
-
Treasury is a pretty good $5, Militia is a very good $4 and Copper is a very bad $0. So, at $4, Bureaucrat is extremely powerful. Probably the best card in all of Dominion.
Very funny. I see you really thought about what i said - or was it just about how to make fun of it?
Treasury, Treasure-Duration, 5$
Each buy phase this is in play it produces 1$.
---
Do not discard this during cleanup.
---
While this is in play, when you buy a Victory card, discard this.
Treasury is basically a Copper that stays in play until you buy a Victory card.
Bureaucrat decreases the number of useful cards in your opponents hand and gives you money (like Militia). It does both things next turn (though i admit Silver gain/+2$ is not a perfect match).
Edit: Also Copper is basically the best 0$ there is, which further invalidates your "point".
I'm not sure if you missed it, have forgotten it, or just never thought it was funny in the first place, but I was referring to the guide on some site which claimed that Bureaucrat was the best card in all of Dominion (I'm actually not sure if these were the exact words on the article, but that was the point anyway). The site had other pretty interesting and unique views about things in other Dominion related articles, too.
I didn't know that this site existed (and never would have guessed it). I'm sorry for my rudeness and would like to thank you for the explanation.

Edge case: Ruined Market on a board with lots of draw and actions, and no other +Buy.
More obvious edge case: Followers. (And Madman, Mercenary, Spoils, and all other Prizes. Unless we want to be pedantic about 0 vs 0*. But the rules do clarify that 0* counts as 0 for anything when determining the cost of something.)

Among the things the site says about bureaucrat, it tells you to put a Silver on top of your "Library" to give you buying power on your next turn.

I assume that * denotes the involution operator of a *-algebra. That doesn't matter so much for 0* per se, but if you were to consider the cost of Golem, for example, it would become (4P)* = 4 - P, with a negative potion.
For some reason it appears this design space was not completely explored.

Yeah, Apothecary serves a very different purpose from Scout because the Coppers it picks up help your buying power that turn. Vagrant is the closest thing there is to a fixed Scout, as it serves the same purpose: it picks up junk from the top of your deck.

you return the madman whether you draw from it or not. you only draw if you return it. the "if you do" clause is confusing because the returning is mandatory, but when you TR or procession it, you play it twice and return it once, hence you only draw once.

Agreed, Scout is only terrible if you consider that when you bought it, you could have bought any other $3 or $4 instead. But a free Scout is generally a benefit, not something you'd want to get rid of.

Once <25% of your deck is green then Scout is on average worse than a do-nothing cantrip. It doesn't take long to get there: after your opening buys, you have a deck of 12 cards with 3 estates, a green density of 25%. The situation gets better for Scout once greening begins, but it's still a pretty narrow window where it's better than nothing.

In this particular meme image, the question is whether a Scout is better than a Copper. It's sort of borderline...

That's why I mentioned the Upgrade in play; not only you can Upgrade Scout, but by playing Scout/Upgrade, you can choose between 6 instead of 4 cards to Upgrade.

Tables's user text is "Build more Bridges in the King's Court!". This is a visualisation for that with Throne Room instead of KC. The Throne Room is taken from Civ2 because it's easily recognisable. Which is apparently true, but not sufficient.

First meme of the year, and it's a great one!

Hermit trashes from the discard pile as well. Thus, I have edge cased the 1st meme of the year.
EDIT: I'm not following apparently because if you played TR and had a hermit wouldn't you be throne rooming the Hermit? I mean, we must be talking about 2 different hands and thus the TR very well could have been drawn dead. Also, if you were going to lie then why play the TR to begin with?
-
Golem into TR,Hermit, hand contains two Rats, draw contains more Rats and Golds. Playing Rats at any point means you may be forced to trash Golds, so you decide to lie and play TR into nothing and then use Hermit to trash Rats and draw, thus giving the lie away (but, if gotten away with the lie, it would have been optimal because you get to trash the Rats and draw the on-trash bonus, possibly drawing Gold to buy someting, and not risk trashing Gold, which is impossible to get away with by lying because Rats makes you reveal all Rats on no-trash option).

Why wouldn't you play the Hermit first? Then your claim of having nothing to Throne Room is more believable.

Ok, a much simpler way around this. On your turn, you reshuffle so your discard pile is empty. Then you play Throne Room, Throne Room, Smithy, hoping to draw a good action. But instead you draw Rats. With nothing in your hand you want to trash, you lie and say you have no action. Next turn, you play Hermit, and trash Rats from the discard pile, having forgotten about your lie.

No need to dig up the link, we all know. That's why he worded King's Court and Procession differently. But he has also stated many times that Throne Room's wording hasn't changed.

you just reshuffled. your herald/whatever finds a throne room which you play. you claim to have no actions in hand.
next turn, you play a hermit and trash a rats. but where did that rats come from? you didn't play it last turn, you didn't buy it last turn, and you just reshuffled, which means you must have had it in your hand and lied about it.

True, but he's also said that it wouldn't cause any harm to play it that way, either.
Of course you can play it as you want. You can reword and change every card when you play. But when I play IRL I think, hope and trust that my opponents don't cheat. There are so many ways of cheating if you play fast enough. Sometimes noone really knows what you have done. I neither count the coins of my opponents. If they say they have enough to buy it I trust them. So I trust them too while they play a Throne Room.
Sure they can make mistakes, but we all do mistakes, so what? If I'd review all what they're doing, that would take much longer. And if I recognize, that they cheat with intent I won't play anymore with them. You should play fair and you should trust your opponents, otherwise it is no more fun.

Less edge cases, fewer memes?

Relevant edge case: Many definitions of lolcats (which this appears to be) include the fact that the text on them is often grammatically incorrect, so the use of less on this image, while a grammatical error, is in fact the correct usage on a lolcat.

Disney rules! Sure they occasionally stifle progress in copyright law or throw lemmings off a cliff. But I'm such a sucker for the movies and Disney World I don't even care. If I have been brainwashed into this opinion, well then they did a great job of that too! :P

It was way too long ago that I saw Alladin to remember what happened in the movie. Cinderella, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty. These are all movies I watched for the first time in pre-university for an English class. My final exam was an essay concerning the patriarchical elements of those movies.
The last Disney movie I saw was Brave. I was really impressed by that one.

Save the file on your computer. Upload wherever you can - for example, imgur.com is a popular free hosting service, and AFIAK they store things indefinitely. Then, to insert it into a forum post, you can copy the BB Code on the side after you upload to imgur, or use whatever url you have and use the "insert image" button here with your URL pasted in between the BBCode tags.

Not sure, if I understood you two right, but the joke was not that you can't gain 26 curses, but that you can't win with 26 curses (unless you are Chuck Norris), because there are at most 50 curses.

Chuck Norris designed a card with a reaction of type "When another player plays an attack card, you may reveal this. If you do, the attack affects that player instead", playtested it with human players, and it worked very well.
-
As there is significant confusion between two cards, first is mine second is mint we need to replace both of them by a new card that combines their abilities.

"Litterally" is a pun because of the spelling. But it's confusing Dominion-wise because "discard" and "trash" have non-overlapping meanings. In everyday language, "discard" could mean "throw away" which could mean "trash".

Actually the german slang word "dissen" which we are talking about here comes from the english "diss" and means the same initially. The use is most relevant in rap culture. It has extended to mean bullying in general.

If you buy a Stonemason with two Hagglers in play, then the two Hagglers cause you to gain two non-victory cards costing less than Stonemason - the only such remaining pile is Ruins. The joke is that you are forced to gain two Ruins by the Haggler mechanism. You are NOT forced to "overpay by zero" for the Stonemason, because that's not how Overpay works.

I really disagree with that. For me, the strategic interaction of the cards is what makes Dominion fun. To say that you should avoid effective counters out of politeness seems like a poor precedent to me.

I think in the case of coin tokens, Good Guy Greg probably thinks that the card should be written so that the tokens are set aside and returned at the end of the turn, and that he's making a friendly protest against the wording of the card. After all, you magically get your Victory cards back if you "trash" them, so why not Coin Tokens? Because cards are tiny, and Alchemy is an older set - that's what it looks like to Greg.
Losing the game on purpose by top-decking the Alchemists is stretching believability, though. There's no similar reason why you "shouldn't" be allowed to not top-deck them.

But if there were $3 or $4 cards in the kingdom, he could buy one of those cards and Haggler the Stonemasons instead of Ruins.

Oh, whoops. I forgot that Stonemason cost $2. I thought that it cost $5 and that you didn't want there to be other cards to gain. That would be the worst $5 card ever (not counting Scout which gets a discount) X-P

Because that's just how the card works. Arguing that it's not fair to use Coin tokens or whatever is just playing with the scrub mentality. Maybe Greg is a scrub, but that still makes him BAD instead of good.
What about Masquerade and Ambassador? They're from older sets than Alchemy and can cause much more harm to the Possessee than spending Coin tokens.

Possession is a weird card with some power cases. I still think that Greg isn't just "bad at Dominion" just because he would have made different design choices than Donald in retrospect. Of course he's less likely to win if he doesn't play to full effectiveness within the confines of the actual rules, but that could have easily gone without saying.
Maybe Greg would prefer to play house rules, where card-passing and such aren't allowed on the same board, and the coin token interaction modded as described. But maybe he's playing on Goko with close friends and taking it on good faith that people will play the agreed-upon "house rules" anyway. Bam, edge case.
(Most likely you just wouldn't buy Masquerade or Ambassador on a Possession board, and coin tokens would similarly be a liability. The coin token case would "feel" more balanced and less hard-countered on a Possession board with the small rule tweak, though - and even with the change, they would still be a significant liability.)

If you skip Masquerade or Ambassador just because it's a possession board, you will almost certainly lose regardless of whether your opponent buys possession.

It's worth noting that with either Masquerade or ambassador, it's certainly possible to gain an extra one and then FORCE it to your opponent. You can forego them sometimes, maybe, but it's not really about the possession.

Oh, that is very true. So basically it's a super-swingy card on that kind of board, the stuff divorces are made of.

The joke is that you are forced to gain two Ruins by the Haggler mechanism. You are NOT forced to "overpay by zero" for the Stonemason, because that's not how Overpay works. It was a pretty impressive edge case.
But if there were $3 or $4 cards in the kingdom, he could buy one of those cards and Haggler the Stonemasons instead of Ruins.
My response was with respect to the original Bad-Luck Brian meme. It read, "Doesn't overpay for Stonemason // gains two Ruins".
SirPeebles noted that overpay doesn't work that way and thus it doesn't make sense as bad luck. SirClemens proposed an edge case with Haggler, but it still doesn't really make sense with the original BLB meme. OK, he has Hagglers now... so what does not overpaying have to do with anything then? It's not applicable to the original and is thus not an edge case. It's an interesting scenario, I guess, but it no longer has anything to do with why the original BLB meme did not make sense.
As a side note, why would he REALLY need a Stonemason and not have picked it up by the time it's late enough that he has Golem and at least two Hagglers AND all the Copper and Silver are gone, but still early enough that gaining two extra Ruins hurts? I can't think of how that could make sense at all. I'm sure an edge case exists out there, so go for it people.

Well, the 12 seconds in the video is actually part of a much longer gag, but I couldn't find a youtube video for the whole thing. The laugh probably comes after Marshall states what is plainly on the chart for the purpose of pacing. The whole segment has him presenting a variety of different charts and lists but it wouldn't work so well for pacing if it was just him showing each chart with no accompanying dialog. Since there is dialog, the laughter naturally comes at the end. Part of the humour is also in the delivery. The real punchline of the gag is that Marshall is so enthusiastic about his charts that the group stages an intervention to stop him from his overzealous charting.
(Alternative explanation: the laugh comes after Marshall explains it because jokes are funnier after they are explained it.)

No. You might as well say "while it's allowed by the rules to buy more Provinces than your opponent, it's certainly a situation that feels unfair in a way. Greg doesn't want to be mean, so he refrains from buying Provinces."
Now, one could make an argument that "Good Guy Greg" would purposefully lose the game to his opponent, because he wants his opponent to feel good about himself. But let's not pretend that certain normal, legal plays in Dominion are more "scumbag" or "good guy" than others.
-
After all, you magically get your Victory cards back if you "trash" them, so why not Coin Tokens? Because cards are tiny, and Alchemy is an older set - that's what it looks like to Greg.
Because that's just how the card works. Arguing that it's not fair to use Coin tokens or whatever is just playing with the scrub mentality. Maybe Greg is a scrub, but that still makes him BAD instead of good.
What about Masquerade and Ambassador? They're from older sets than Alchemy and can cause much more harm to the Possessee than spending Coin tokens.
Possession is a weird card with some power cases. I still think that Greg isn't just "bad at Dominion" just because he would have made different design choices than Donald in retrospect. Of course he's less likely to win if he doesn't play to full effectiveness within the confines of the actual rules, but that could have easily gone without saying.
Maybe Greg would prefer to play house rules, where card-passing and such aren't allowed on the same board, and the coin token interaction modded as described. But maybe he's playing on Goko with close friends and taking it on good faith that people will play the agreed-upon "house rules" anyway. Bam, edge case.
(Most likely you just wouldn't buy Masquerade or Ambassador on a Possession board, and coin tokens would similarly be a liability. The coin token case would "feel" more balanced and less hard-countered on a Possession board with the small rule tweak, though - and even with the change, they would still be a significant liability.)
Then this is how the meme should be:

You see, i was allready accepting that i was wrong, but i didn't bother to write. The problem is that for me as a real life player (who usually plays against relatives and close friends that don't know the rules as good as me) Dominion is just a way to have fun, where doing combos like KC/Goons/Masq, letting somebody play Outpost during Possession and such things aren't necessarily something that improves the experience. Somebody will always feel tricked with those combos because they didn't see it coming, so i tend to avoid things that are too nasty.
I admit the example is far stretched even under those given conditions.

Whenever I play better players than me (e.g. everyone in Gokodom pretty much) the moment they do something I wasn't quite expecting, I just assume that they've spotted something I missed or decided wouldn't work, and I'm about to get thrashed.
This assumption is built out of experience of it repeatedly happening... although at least I learn something each time.

Oh I know. When I thought it up, I was concerned that there would be issues with "but Spy can kill a Marshal; Scout can't." But I figured it was good enough based on "in 1 on 1; Scout always kills Spy."
By the same argument, Paper is better than Rock, even if Rock can beat Scissors while Paper can't.

7 is the worst. 9s can move as far as they want! They can actually scout places out! 8s can kill bombs. 7 is the highest number that does nothing. It's best trait is that it can kill 8s. Usually I put it behind bombs to kill 8s when they kill the bomb, and also to be out of the way.

Thanks. :) I thought of it when Dominator made the joke about an actual Scout walking by just as you were saying Scouts are the worst. Thought "I wonder what other things called 'scout' are out there? Oh hey, I think that Stratego piece is called 'scout' too! In fact, it's a really low-ranked Stratego piece!" The fact that there's also a piece called "Spy" is just bonus.

Spies aren't good against Scouts in TF2...

I was just looking up the rules to see the various piece names, and apparently newer releases of the game have switched all the numbers; higher now beats lower; Scout is 2 and Marshal is 10. Weird.

Salvager has some a communication backend of its own (recently found that out in conversation over in the Salvager thread), so it might be possible to add a text input to the automatch dialog, and then have your message appear in the "decline" popup that the other player sees. Post it as a feature request in the Salvager thread if you like, the worst that could happen is the devs say it's too cumbersome to implement.
Edit: Someone else already made the request. They quoted your post over in that thread.

Exactly. As long as the scope of his comment is that single game, it works out~
The edgier part of the edge case is that the only game he's played where he has bought and played Scout is the one where he had only Scout and Victory cards (and was unable to play Scout before his deck was trashed down to Scout and Victory Cards because of all the .. uh.. Thieves and Scouts discarding him.. yeah, that's it).

You could go Harem-Nobles and then trash all of your non-Victory treasures with a Chapel or something. Your Scout would have just one non-Victory card to avoid, but if you got too many Nobles, you could theoretically draw your whole deck except for Chapel, so as long as you don't get that many Nobles, it's ok.
Though if he's ever played a Scout game other than this occasion, he can probably make this statement about his life as a Dominion player. And he probably doesn't have an awesome second half of his statement tomake.

Another edge case: you played the scavengers for the coin, not for top decking. Likewise, you just wanted Herald and overpaid because you had the extra coins. You also wanted Inn, and you wanted both of these cards shuffled into your deck. Any top decking was incidental.

You have 14 coins and two buys... and you go for herald and inn because your deck needs them? Sure, your deck needs all the +action it can get if it's using 5 scavengers only for the coin. I hope that, in your mind, your edge case had tons of embargo tokens on the silver and gold piles, and you felt it was so obvious as to not require to be made explicit.
Another edge case: you are so sure that you are going to win, that you are just trolling your opponent.

I first thought it would rather be Bad Luck Brian, but on second thought, it doesn't seem half bad to have the victory cards out of the way. After all, two of the Mystics are activated Conspirators anyway, so Scout would have got you "only" 2 cards more. If only one of the cards drawn with Mystic was a Cellar, Scout's draw would have been a godsend.

I was just lazy. If some other meme generator site had that template and I could have hot linked it, I would have. I thought I'd have to host that image somewhere and didn't really know where. So I just figured I'd make f.ds host it.

How came the idea of a mystic meme into your

Silvers are bad ?
Trash a silver with trader ; trashes 3 incoming silvers with watchtower
Trash 2 silvers with Trading post (I already did it in order to get rid of one silver while playing only Base+Intrigue)

I... don't really get that one. I guess if you trigger an unwanted reshuffle, drawing a card might be bad, and it would allow for multiple Pillages... there's still plenty of cases where silver hurts more than an extra card.

Governor is probably OK, Council Room is not. This isn't Insanity Wolf, it's Hyper-Engine-Focused SCSN.

I meant it as SCSN's awesome deck tracking, realising that the opponent has a very good hand, so triggers a reshuffle for him.

You know, top decking the Province is optional. At worst this is a 1st World Problems meme.

It's a waste of a 5-card no matter how you look at it. Even if you wanted to buy a Province this turn, this wouldn't have been a particularly good way for it to happen.
-
If Royal Seal is in your deck by choice, clearly you've got $5 buys to waste
-
(http://i.imgur.com/YAjOjKx.png)
-
+1 for the pun on the Militia.
I personally think Royal seal itself is a waste, because you could have another card instead. Royal seal just seems to bring nothing to the game (at least, I played a 2P-game IRL and I topdecked a Contraband with it just to troll my opponent in end game (and because I had $5 and could switch from Province to Colony too) and I won anyway)
-
Royal Seal isn't that strong, but topdecking is underrated. Royal Seal topdecking Platinum is very nice, the problem is that you have to waste a $5 buy on Royal Seal.

Yeah, I don't think it's that bad of a card. It isn't amazing, and you never need that many of them, but if you hit the 5 mark and end up buying a Gold with it later, it was like buying a Gold and having an extra Silver in your deck at the very least. And that's if you use the ability only once on your next shuffle.

Hey, I'm not a huge fan of royal seal either, but in a game, my opponent was swindling my golds into altars (which would be nice, if I hadn't thinned my deck), so i decided to make my whole economy royal seals, so he could swindle them into more royal seals (he doesn't like giving me duchies, go figure). Thoughts?

If you opponent would rather give you another copy of a card when he swindles it instead of a duchy then I don't think that speaks too highly of its power.

It's usually not that great to have a ton of them. One or two is probably enough. You can't "double topdeck" a card. But maybe you should just trash for Duchies and take the seals as they come? idk, it's strongest early, and in small quantity.

I know, but I didn't want any $6 (gold) alternative, nor did I want any $3 (silver) alternative, so I settled for royal seals (I lost, but it was close).

Barring edge-cases that also applies to Ruins (Farming Village/Wandering Minstrel/Golem), scout isn't worse than curse. And +$2 for $3 is as legit as gaining a gold for $5. So it's just a soothsayer-like, and nobody complains nor makes memes about Soothsayer (I made a little meme, once).

Yeah, that's sort of the point of First World Problems. She is quite fortunate to have the Swindler hit her Fortress, and yet she is complaining about the (potentially) minor inconvenience of receiving a Scout.

it's bad luck because of the coinflippiness of the board. since he always has bad luck, a random based board is bad luck for him. his opponent willl collide treasure maps t3, so even if he is the better player, he can't win.

How is that bad luck Brian? I don't get how it's bad if those two come up on the board.
He can never open double TM and collide, but for his opponent, he would get 4 Golds turn 3
What? He pays $4 for a Treasure map turn 1, then $3 plus coin for another turn 2, then turn 3 he lucks out and collides them. How is it even related to the fact that he started a game or not?
but he doesn't luck out
But that's not the meme. The meme is that he starts a new pro game, and then its bad luck that Treasure map and baker are on the board. But it's not. If the meme were "Treasure map Baker on board, Treasure maps never collide" that might be a Bad luck brian.
it's bad luck because of the coinflippiness of the board. since he always has bad luck, a random based board is bad luck for him. his opponent willl collide treasure maps t3, so even if he is the better player, he can't win.
Yeah, I get it now. I guess the long explanation defeats the purpose of a punchy joke that you normally see in memes.
I assumed it was he got a 5/2 split, and it wasn't a well-thought-out meme.
-
The next Bad luck brian meme should be "Starts a pro game, Goons on the board." because he'll never hit $6.

This is all too meta. Bad luck Brian memes should assume that the events in the meme are the unlucky events themselves. You have to assume he is not cursed with bad luck outside of the meme's scope.

The point is that those 2 cards being on the board lead to a situation where luck can matter a whole lot. If you are lucky, you can get 4 Golds on turn 3. But since he is Bad Luck Brian, he will NOT be so lucky, and furthermore, his opponent WILL be so lucky. So it's something of a meta-joke, the situation is only bad for him because he's unlucky in general.

May I see TWO logs where the KC + goons (and not militia) + masquerade pin occured ?
Edit : well, KC and goons are in the same expansion, so maybe it's more logical. Okay, so KC + (discard attack) + militia ?
I know it's doable with the good tools, but it's insanely hard, right ?

Search the logs for those three cards in the kingdom and someone finishing with zero points, but I'd be a little surprised if you find it in the wild. Masq is essential to the pin but also counters it; as you get closer to that magical 4-card deck, it becomes more and more likely that your opponent's masq makes you pass away a necessary piece. So to actually pull it off, you kind of need an opponent who doesn't see it coming, and doesn't even realize how good masq is. Before everyone knew about it, I think someone used it to climb the iso leaderboards. Back then games with player-selected kingdoms counted for iso rankings, and I think this was part of the reason that changed. So it's happened, but since it become widely known it's also very rare.
-
In my time, I've played about 2000 games of Dominion online, and quite a bit IRL (a wild guess would be 500). I've run across actual pins in three of my games.
One of them was a designed kingdom with the pin in it. It was used in a tournament match and I was playing a bunch of tournament sets IRL. It was the KC+Goons+Masq pin vs. an Ironworks+Gardens rush. I went for the pin, he went for the rush, and I was one turn too slow and he won.
Here's the only online game (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=avtSybKClnk), where I pull off a Cutpurse pin. Ghost Ship to discard, Masq to pass Coppers, and Cutpurse to decrease hand size. I got him to start a hand with one Copper when he resigned.
The other one was IRL and was once again a Cutpurse pin with masq to enable it, even though I don't even recall a handsize attack on that board.
So in my experience, the KC+Discard+Masquerade pin is less likely to show up, and it makes sense because KC+Masquerade are two specific cards, Cutpurse+Masquerade are two specific cards and I think there are more Villages than discard attacks.

Here is a game of KC-KC-Goons-Masq pin (http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=518.msg7191#msg7191).
And then here are (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iPt1ZKY1Rz0) two games (http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=386.msg263004#msg263004) using the KC-KC-Outpost-Masq pin.
I looked for another KC-KC-Goons-Masq, but couldn't find one. There were only about 20 games that came up in the log search with those cards (http://gokosalvager.com/logsearch?p1name=&p1score=any&p2name=&startdate=08%2F05%2F2012&enddate=06%2F04%2F2014&supply=King%27s+Court%2C+Goons%2C+Masquerade&nonsupply=&rating=pro%2B&pcount=2&colony=any&bot=false&shelters=any&guest=false&minturns=&maxturns=&quit=false&resign=any&submitted=true&offset=0), but the combo was not played in any of them.
-
I have seen KC-discard down to 3-Masq in exactly one game.
There were no +Actions. Not even a +1 Action, anywhere.
Masq was also the only +Cards.

That's a bad argument though. First of all, the card that does the specific function better might not be on the board. Second, Expand might be beat at a specific thing by another card, but it still does things that card can't do.
Let's consider Masquerade for a second. If you want the draw, Courtyard gives you better selection. If you want the trashing, Chapel lets you trash more. If you want to pass junk to other players, Ambassador means you don't receive any junk back. Man, Masquerade sure is outclassed in every way!
Seriously though, Expand usually isn't good, but I don't think it deserves so much hate. Plus it has really sweet card art.

Your examples aren't even in the same ballpark, though. None of those cards can do what Masquerade is good at, though Ambassador is a close call - all it's missing is a two-card draw to filter through stuff. And Ambassador is a strong $3 card. Mine costs $5, and is usually sort of weak - mind you, Expand costs $7.
Mine is a lot better than Expand if you want treasure -> treasure. There is no reason you'd want Expand if Mine is on the board for this, and "Mine might not be on the board" doesn't make Expand not suck. Similarly, Rebuild blows Expand out of the water if you're going for VP - it's non-terminal, and it finds the VP for you (unless you drew them all, but ok). Want to trash junk cards? Altar still costs less, ties when trashing Estates, and is strictly better at trashing coppers and curses - like, by a lot. Half the time, Expand is just a regrettable Upgrade in my hand that should've been a Gold.
I honestly don't know what he was thinking when he made Expand cost $7. It might be strong at $5 or weak at $6, but at $7, it's the Scout of TFB cards, hands down. If I started the game with Upgrade and Expand in my deck, I'd be more inclined to Upgrade my Expand for a Province than vice versa.
-

Not really, because you have to pay way more than it's worth and you're probably going to use it as a Remodel more often than not anyway.

And I'd be inclined to expand Estates into $5s and upgrade away Coppers than do either of the things you mentioned. What's your point? If you disregard Expand on every board because you think it's the Scout of TfB cards, you can expect to lose a lot of games.

I think you missed my point. The Masquerade example is meant to show that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. You can't just focus on any one specific effect. With Masq, it's strong because all of those parts have synergy. With Expand, it can sometimes be strong because it gives flexibility.
If you pick one specific function, sure, another card will beat it, but Expand lets you do more than any one of those cards. You can go Curse->Silver or Estate->$5 action. OK, Altar can do the same (and better with the Curse), but Expand provides additional utility in letting you trash into Province, among other things.
Again, yes, Expand is not great. But it isn't Scout-tier.

I doubt it... Expand loses games.
-
expand is worth buying on boards where it is the only TfB and you want a TfB. This is a fairly large fraction of board with expand in it, but that doesn't make it good. If you disregard Expand on every board with another TfB, you can expect good things generally. Scout is the scout of all cards, e.i., ignore it if there are other cards, so Expand being the scout of TfB means ignore it if there are other TfB

It's not that any of them is rigorously strictly superior to Expand in literally every possible way... it's just that if I'm looking for Expand to do anything in particular, it's horribly outclassed at it in that particular case. Unless you reeeeeeaaaally want to turn Gardens into Forges or something... who the hell knows.
That's a bad argument though. First of all, the card that does the specific function better might not be on the board. Second, Expand might be beat at a specific thing by another card, but it still does things that card can't do.
Let's consider Masquerade for a second. If you want the draw, Courtyard gives you better selection. If you want the trashing, Chapel lets you trash more. If you want to pass junk to other players, Ambassador means you don't receive any junk back. Man, Masquerade sure is outclassed in every way!
Seriously though, Expand usually isn't good, but I don't think it deserves so much hate. Plus it has really sweet card art.
Your examples aren't even in the same ballpark, though. None of those cards can do what Masquerade is good at, though Ambassador is a close call - all it's missing is a two-card draw to filter through stuff. And Ambassador is a strong $3 card. Mine costs $5, and is usually sort of weak - mind you, Expand costs $7.
Mine is a lot better than Expand if you want treasure -> treasure. There is no reason you'd want Expand if Mine is on the board for this, and "Mine might not be on the board" doesn't make Expand not suck. Similarly, Rebuild blows Expand out of the water if you're going for VP - it's non-terminal, and it finds the VP for you (unless you drew them all, but ok). Want to trash junk cards? Altar still costs less, ties when trashing Estates, and is strictly better at trashing coppers and curses - like, by a lot. Half the time, Expand is just a regrettable Upgrade in my hand that should've been a Gold.
I honestly don't know what he was thinking when he made Expand cost $7. It might be strong at $5 or weak at $6, but at $7, it's the Scout of TFB cards, hands down. If I started the game with Upgrade and Expand in my deck, I'd be more inclined to Upgrade my Expand for a Province than vice versa.
I think you missed my point. The Masquerade example is meant to show that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. You can't just focus on any one specific effect. With Masq, it's strong because all of those parts have synergy. With Expand, it can sometimes be strong because it gives flexibility.
If you pick one specific function, sure, another card will beat it, but Expand lets you do more than any one of those cards. You can go Curse->Silver or Estate->$5 action. OK, Altar can do the same (and better with the Curse), but Expand provides additional utility in letting you trash into Province, among other things.
Again, yes, Expand is not great. But it isn't Scout-tier.
Except Expand doesn't have a sum of parts to be better than. All it grants is a little flexibility that can hardly ever justify buying it over a Gold. There are times I'd pay $4 or $5 for one or two things Expand can do (and more), but there's no way I'd pay $7 to have all of them (and no more). If I want Provinces, then in an actual game, Remodel and Gold will get there faster.
-
With $7 in hand, I think I'd buy Expand over Graverobber in most games. I think that makes Expand the Harvest of TfB, with Graverobber being the Scout of TfB.
(By corollary, that makes Scout the Smithy of Magic: the Gathering, and Dominion the Settlers of Catan of Hearthstone.)
-
expand is worth buying on boards where it is the only TfB and you want a TfB. This is a fairly large fraction of board with expand in it, but that doesn't make it good. If you disregard Expand on every board with another TfB, you can expect good things generally. Scout is the scout of all cards, e.i., ignore it if there are other cards, so Expand being the scout of TfB means ignore it if there are other TfB
Transmute gets a lot of hate, but you can throw a Potion and an extra buy at it for the lulz and maybe pick up some Golds and lose some Curses eventually. Expand is so maddening because it *could* be a decent card, but the cost is insane.

Estate->Duchy

I really didn't think that there was likely to be a reason to buy it over a Gold. I guess I'll have to look at those game logs, because apparently stronger players have found acceptable use cases. In my games, it's always been a 3-for-1 really bad Mine taped to a really unreliable terminal Rebuild taped to a really overpriced Upgrade.

I was thinking, "well, so much for this costing $6." It didn't start at $7.
The $7 cost is something of a trick; it delays the average time it takes to get the card, but when you have $7 and are looking for what to buy, usually there's no other $7 and you don't have a +buy, and of course the money you don't spend doesn't stick around. You aren't "spending $7;" you're picking between Gold, good $5's, and Expand. Expand may not always win that fight but it certainly does sometimes. Costing $6 wouldn't change how good it was compared to Gold (except marginally for the worse due to things like Apprentice and Knights); it would just create more opportunities to make the choice (and then sometimes there would be another $7 or +buys).
At the time I wasn't focused on adding lots of tiny text to cards to hit the perfect value for experienced players while making them awful for normal players; I was making cards and then seeing what to charge for them. For normal players, I think Expand is great as is; it does something they want to do and they buy it and do it. Meanwhile experienced players get to decide when it's worth getting and when it isn't; it's not just worthless.
It makes no sense to compare it to Scout. Scout's effect is weak; Expand's is strong. You don't even need to consider opportunity cost for Scout; odds are you don't want it. When we set up a board in favor of Scout, then opportunity cost becomes the issue. But I always want Expand; there's no issue but opportunity cost. If I started the game with Upgrade and Expand in my deck, I would Upgrade Coppers and Expand Estates; it would be a while before I was ready to let go of either one.

It's not every day you Mint a Copper and win.
-
I've regretted getting Expand just about every time I've gotten it. I guess if it's the only TfB, then it might be good for getting rid of Estates, but if anything else can either sift or destroy them, then that only leaves cannibalizing Duchies and $5 actions at the end of the game, and I usually go for Golds when I have $6 unless it's something great like Grand Market or Goons I'm looking at, or Adventurer after my Coppers have mostly been Moneylendered or some such.
I didn't think the image was going to be controversial. I honestly find myself wishing I had one or two of the cards on the right instead of Expand to go for just about every time it's on the board.

Theoretical question: how much crazier would expand be if the 3 was a 4? Just asking because King's Court effectively does twice what throne room does once, so it wouldn't be completely out of left field to have expand have twice the effect of a remodel.

That is a nice idea. Especially because it allows $7-cost into Colony, which is something really Prosperity-y. Also, $4 into Province seems like a big deal, but if it is OP, it is not obviously OP to me. It is pretty good for engines that usually have an easier time getting lots of $4-costs than lots of $5-costs, but I don't think it would overtake KC as the strongest $7, for instance. For BM, it is the same as the current Expand, only it allows Estate->Gold, which is nice, not OP at all by the time you get to $7.

Extrapolation time!
Double-Smithy; +6 cards, $7.
Double-Sea-Hag; $7; each opponent gets 2 curses.
-
Double-Smithy is actually +5 Cards, and it would be pretty strong at $7, but possibly not totally broken.

Bah, that's a low blow. Playing a card has a cost in and of itself (one action and one card, at least). Notice that I say that king's court is twice a throne room, not 150% a throne room.
So double smithy would probably not be +6 cards. More like +5 cards. Which yeah, probably still is too strong, but +cards is the strongest bonus you can add (aside from +action to a terminal card, maybe), so extrapolating smithy is tricky. You can see though that moat costs 2, smithy costs 4, hunting grounds costs 6, if you want to extrapolate that.
Double sea hag for 7 seems alright though. It's not going to be useful for long, and by the time you get it online, the other player would have probably already developed a deck that can deal with the incoming curses.
-
If double Sea Hag topdecks both Curses (discarding top 2 cards first), then it is extremely strong, even for $7. However, with any other Curser on the board, it would be extremely weak, unless you luck into a T3/T4 $7. Is funny how things work out.
-
Hunting Grounds (+4 cards) costs $6 and has a buff. So +5 cards for $7 (possibly with a nerf) would probably be OK.
-
I was thinking about Expand. It's sort of like Band of Misfits - the $7 TfB version. Only it does really lousy versions of a bunch of $5 cards... And is priced above a Gold. $7 for a card that can be Mine or Rebuild or Salvager or Trading Post would be a whole other ball game than Expand.

I think you are severely underestimating the price of versatility. Consider Steward, a very strong card at $3, often purchased for $4 in a Silver/Steward opening. Yet each of its options is worth less than $2, possibly as little as $1.

In some sense, Steward is a *lot* more versatile than Expand. In fact, I'd rather draw Steward with two Golds and two Provinces than an Expand precisely because of this...
EDIT: The Wiki article on Expand isn't all that flattering, either. I really didn't think this card was highly regarded, overall... http://wiki.dominionstrategy.com/index.php/Expand
-
The point is that Expand is not that great, but it's not absolutely terrible either. Sometimes it's actually important. Sometimes it's important even though there are other TfB on the board. It's not highly regarded, but it's not completely ignorable either. I hope those logs I linked are enough proof of that.

Shouldn't the title of this card be 'Sir Harry'? And then the text would be:
Each other player may announce whether he is 'feeling lucky'. Each player who feels lucky reveals the top four cards of his deck. If any of them are Knights, trash Sir Harry. Otherwise, trash all four cards.

This being on top of the knight pile on a 5/2 opening makes you reconsider going for knights, because it acts like a chapel.

Well if he's already drawn all of his smithies this shuffle, he'd probably like to cause a reshuffle sooner. Of course drawing 3 villages doesn't do that, but he didn't know he was going to draw all villages.

Yep. He could have drawn Treasures, and then the Villages could have caused a reshuffle on his next turn in which he drew a Smithy. But it's also true that drawing a bunch of terminals is likely to lead to drawing useless Villages. If he doesn't play a Smithy, then his Villages will just cycle themselves next turn anyway, so it's not like he has much left to lose. But that chance to draw a Treasure or at least an Estate does make playing a Smithy have some average benefit overall.

True, I think Bad Luck Brian keeps track of his deck carefully (to avoid his bad luck as much as possible) and knows that he's still got three villages, some treasures and some estates left. He'd like to cycle his deck fast to speed up the engine running. Drawing just 3-4 still allows him to buy a piece of engine components but pity him since he's Bad Luck Brian...

Not necessarily. GADG could have played the pin just to be a jerk.

Scumbag Steve would play the pin in a 3-player game.

-

yeah. I would be happy to see the pin in a kingdom, because that would be a fun game to play. It just adds another win condition, something that happens a lot in dominion. Sometimes you win a game of Dominion by getting the most provinces. Sometimes it's the most colonies. Sometimes it's the most of whatever alternate VP is on the board. Sometimes it's VP chips. And rarely, with the right combination of cards, it's to set up a pin. The only difference with the pin is that the player hit by it no longer has any fun playing the game. Well, I'd say that in a normal game a player has no fun playing the game once the opponent has gathered over half the VP in the kingdom, and so they would resign.

Sorry if I use wrong picture :(
By the way, I've never encountered the pinner, have just read in f.ds articles. I think it takes several turns to set this up (buy silver(s) + Masquerade + Another trasher + Get Goon + 2 KCs+ Trash other cards) and some rushes can beat that. Sorry too if I were wrong.

But if there is a faster strategy, choosing the pin instead would have made him BADG.

Speed isn't the only factor. It may have been the pin is more reliable.

I've done some testing, you don't need another trasher. Just open silver/masquerade, get maybe another silver, get a goons, maybe a gold, two KCs, then start playing masquerade (or, KC+masquerade) and trash everything else.
-
Another trasher helps for sure, as does other engine support, but I would guess that you can still pull of the pin with just those three cards as sudgy described before the game ends from workshop/gardens almost every single time.

...Are you princing the fortress? That seems suboptimal (if you prince the scheme instead, then the prince of remakes gets to make you trash two cards once more before you catch it with the scheme). Actually, why are you using prince at all in a board with possession and scheme?
EDIT: basically, I would prefer the meme if you didn't draw prince in your turn, since it's not helping that much. Especially since your opponent can possession-scheme to "kill" whatever prince you make.

You trash the fortress twice and gain two $5s, then play fortress, play prince on scheme, and topdeck fortress forever, basically gaining you two $5 cards for free every turn.

Ok, that was actually smart. The problem remains though that this plan crashes and burns the moment your opponent plays another possession.

Just scheme remake and then you don't have to prince remake every turn, right? According to the rule, if you don't discard the action from play, it'll not going to be set aside anymore.

I considered making it worth more than Gold, but I figured that this way it might actually be balanced (minus the "shave" clause, which could probably be abused depending on the game definition of "shave"). It's a $5 Gold with the drawback of being almost guaranteed to miss the reshuffle. Thoughts on that?
It combos with Pearl Diver. As you can see in the official Pearl Diver art (http://wiki.dominionstrategy.com/images/5/56/Pearl_Diver.jpg), the diver is reaching for a fossilized moustache.

In any engine where you draw your deck each turn, this is much better than gold, even if it cost $6 you would prefer it to gold.

No, because it's worded the same as Stash. If you were completely literal in the reading of Stash, it also fails to say "if this is in your discard pile", but it's clear that that's what it means. As I mentioned in some other thread recently; a completely literal reading of Stash would allow you to just take them from the supply whenever you shuffle.

I considered making it worth more than Gold, but I figured that this way it might actually be balanced (minus the "shave" clause, which could probably be abused depending on the game definition of "shave"). It's a $5 Gold with the drawback of being almost guaranteed to miss the reshuffle. Thoughts on that?
as a serious card? boring. even more boring than stash.
I think it may be pretty good for engines as payload. Better than Gold even.
In any engine where you draw your deck each turn, this is much better than gold, even if it cost $6 you would prefer it to gold.
yea and then it's a worse version of nomad camp.
Wait, what? It's much better than Nomad Camp... $3 instead of $2, and doesn't require an action to play. Only reason to ever prefer Nomad Camp in that situation is if you want to KC or Throne it.

…Or if you need one more buy?

oups, sorry, i keep confusing nomad camp with bandit camp. I've no idea why i do that, but I keep doing it.
it's a worse version of bandit camp. if you draw your whole deck, a bandit camp is a gold equivalent that's guaranteed to be at the bottom of your deck, and also produces +1 Action along the way.

Ah, true enough.

To be fair, Bandit Camp is a really good card.
Honestly, I'm more excited that this kinda-comboes with Pearl Diver - you can't say that about any other card.

Does it go to the bottom of your deck even if it is in your hand? I think the way worded now, yes.
No, because it's worded the same as Stash. If you were completely literal in the reading of Stash, it also fails to say "if this is in your discard pile", but it's clear that that's what it means. As I mentioned in some other thread recently; a completely literal reading of Stash would allow you to just take them from the supply whenever you shuffle.
While the Stash ruling applies to the Supply out of necessity (otherwise you can just gain all of them at once for free), it does not work as precedent for moving from hand. Stash says "you may", which means that it doesn't automatically get pulled out of your hand. The question is, can you choose to move them out of your hand and into your deck when you reshuffle? You may want to when playing a draw-to-X card. I don't think the FAQ covers this, actually. The answer to that determines the answer to whether Staches in hand get pulled into the deck when you reshuffle.

What do we have here?
I'm pretty sure this is already somewhere in those 150 pages...
-
The wording in Stash applies to all games played with any kind of card anywhere, including Spades, Pokemon, and Magic: the Gathering.
-
Maybe the Stash wording would be more precise as "When you shuffle this, you may put it anywhere in your deck", to make it clear that it must be participating in the shuffle already.

Story: Nick (dethwing) and I are playing and talking on Skype. He goes for Duchy/Duke with mediocre enablers at best and so I get to go for Horns uncontested. Things are going about how you would expect them to (actually I feel like my draws were *terrible* this game and his were, uhh, well you make your own shuffle luck) and on T14 I draw my deck. I get 8 Uniques into play including Counterfeit but I only have 7 Horns and $7. After playing my first Horn he sees I can probably pile out Provinces and he says "gg" to me, to which I reply that I'm $1 short of ending the game this turn and I was calculating what I should do about it.
He points out to me that I could have just Counterfeited a Horn and that I should resign the game out of shame.

He was wrong. He should resign the next two games you guys play out of shame.
You had exactly 8 uniques in play, including Horn of Plenty. If you trash the horn for a province, the second time you play it you have only 7 unique cards in play

Except that he had 7 horns so he would still have 8 uniques in play.

No, any horns he plays before the counterfeit get trashed too.

I think the point is that he would still play the first Horn for not-a-Victory-card, but then Counterfeit the next Horn?
EDIT: Oh, I see. The first Horn could've been a Province anyway... It would take more than one Counterfeit to do what I just suggested for a net gain.

it's really bad to consider nobles a lab variant, as playing nobles for +actions as part of your strategy is usually a bad idea.

My feeling is that it ran into the same problem a lot of adaptations have - clumsy ways to get around all the thinking the book character does, and characters acting in ways that don't make sense/are contradictory, which probably weren't that way in the book.
Actually I'll put it another way, the Harry Potter movies are pretty good if you're a fan of the books and know what's going to happen, but I'm astounded people who haven't read the books like them. The Hunger Games movies are likely to be similar.

I just recently watched all the HP movies for the first time; having never read the books. I thought they were just fine; they can't all be the best movie ever.
-
One of the big advantages of reading the books before seeing the movies was, when I went to see The Hunger Games in the theater and had to go to the bathroom really bad, I knew when a quiet, non-plot-critical scene was coming up so I went then and didn't miss much.
-

they are the best books ever though. well, maybe not, but they are really damn good. and the movies are average at best. maybe they are fine in a vacuum, but not if you compare them to the books. and, yknow, the books aren't exactly easy to make movies off, but not that hard either. they could be a lot better.

To do the HP books justice in a movie theater, you'd have to do a treatment like Lord of the Rings... except there's about twice as much material in the HP books. The first movie did a pretty good job... by taking the very shortest book and making a movie with a 2.5 hour runtime. Most of the other HP movies had comparable runtimes, but the books got longer and longer, so the movies in general got worse. They managed to do better by splitting Book 7 into two movies... except that Rowling really could have skipped over the 100 pages of camping and doing nothing in the beginning of that book.

I did not read the books, only watched the movies. I do that with most adventure stories, they feel more at home in a movie than in a book for me. Anyway, the first movie is boring as hell, while the rest I really liked. I must say in general, the movies increase in interest. Notice that this may be due to the books increasing even more, so I am not saying anything about how each movie relate to its book.
-
Some of the movies are fine. The first two are a bit hard to take seriously, and the fifth one is just horrible. I get that it's the longest book, so it might be a bit difficult to make a good short movie of it, but there was so much stuff in the movie that didn't even have to be there so surely they could have done a better job.
-
SOme of the movies are good, the third one especially. Then some of them are crap, like the fifth one. Overall I much, much prefer the books but I've kind of given u on book-snobbery ever since I met the ASoIaF fandom, because dear God.

I would actually recommend the Hunger Games movies over the books. They're very well-made, and the Catching Fire movie was far better than the book. The Hunger Games trilogy is written in present tense, which I found completely unbearable to read. Third book was really weak, and hopefully the movies improve on it.
As for the HP movies, I think they are fine as entertainment but all inferior to the text (which is to be expected). The pacing of the GoF movie is ridiculously over the top, among other problems. The OotP movie is really boring and has some terrible acting. The HBP movie is hilarious, but is ruined by the addition of a totally pointless filler chase scene that lasts forever and the change to the climactic scene of the story. Harry trust Snape and lets him walk right up to Dumbledore in the movie, whereas in the book he is totally paralyzed by Dumbledore's spell and cannot interfere even though he wants to The PoA movie is pretty overrated in my opinion, but mostly suffers from a few bad moments. (That freeze-frame ending... the animal noise candy scene... seriously?) I personally prefer the straighter adaptations of the first two films to the gutted text of the middle ones and the generally marvelous adaptations of the final two made those my favorites, especially DH part 1. Of course, the first two films also have insanely good soundtracks, so that colors my perspective somewhat.

What's wrong with the fandom? I recently started the books (just finished the first) and may start on the show soon.

I don't mean to criticize the fandom as a whole, but there's a big website called westeros.org where people loooove bashing the show for not being the books. Including the founders, who are chummy with Martin. You should read their reviews of the show, it's hilarious (and sad).

that would be a fair point, except the movies are wasing large amounts of time on pointless scenes, and with that they're at least somewhat responsible for the lack of time on the scenes that matter. the best example for this is the scene where harry tries to get to the dragon without flying in the fourth movie. that scene isn't even in the book! why do that. I know, the answer is they thought it was an action scene that sells.
and the sport, however you spell it in english, is such a waste of time. the sport itself is stupid, over half of all players don't matter in most matches, it's something rowling designed in the first book and couldn't fix later, and it's also hard to do it well in the movies. so why not skip it? that would buy time for other stuff.
the fifth movie was the only one that did skip it I think. I also thought that was the best one.
and for the last book, well splitting it into 2 movies would be a good decision, but if you grind through 80% of the book in the first movie, the usefulness flies out the window. instead of doing the book justice, they got a large amount of time to flesh out the battle and invent even more scenes that aren't even in the books for the second movie. that's not doing it right.

I just checked this review of S04E10: http://www.westeros.org/GoT/Episodes/Entry/The_Children/Book_Spoilers/
I don't see anything I would characterize as "bashing the show for not being the books". It critizes that some parts of the story do not make much sense when it deviates from the books, while they acknowledge the need for some changes and even praise some of them.
Maybe you can point me to another review that contains this?
Anyway, I don't think it is wrong to dislike things you liked about the books being changed in the show.

Downplaying quidditch might have helped, but they couldn't just cut it. It's a fan favourite and important to many plot points.

I don't know if I buy that. for one, they did skip it in the fifth book, and it's really important for the story there. and the movies also skip so many important plot points.
it is a fan favorite. but that's the problem, trying to please the fans and trying to make a good movie are 2 different things. it's possible to do them both, but I really didn't feel like they did much with quidditch in the movies. although I'm not an expert for the movies, only for the books :P

Was it important for book 5? I don't recall. (It's worth noting that even though you liked that movie best, several others have called it the worst of the films. As for me, I didn't find any of the films particularly outstanding.)
I just know that there were important scenes at quidditch fields for several of the books. I can remember some for books 1, 3, and 4 at least.
-
The problem with their reviews is that they refuse to see the show as an independent entity. They are looking at the show as if it was something that has for sole purpose to bring the book to life. It doesn't, it has other things on its mind : it has a different viewpoint, different things to say ?
Is it better ? Is it worse ? Who cares, they are two different things.
Seriously read this review. It's all a very convoluted way of saying "I don't get it, why don't they do it exactly like it was in the books because that's what I want."
Of course the show is far from perfect, it has huge problems (the Jaime/Cersei scene being the most obvious example). Of course they are making some good points here and there (Arya and the Hound heading back once they learn Lysa's death makes very little sense). But their overall approach to the show, which is present in these reviews and on their forums at all times, is that of the book reader who wants to be catered to.
Edit : I'll admit that, reading that review, they've gotten better. I think I remember the Blackwater review infuriating me at the time if you want to check that out.

Quidditch was important to the fifth book because Harry and the Weasleys (and Hermione, maybe, probably ?) are at the Quidditch World Cup whenthe Deatheaters make their comeback.

Is book 5 the one with Dumbledore's Army ? Then Quidditch is important because there's a whole thing with Ron being in Gryffindor's team right ?

Hm, I think so. In that case, I'm pretty sure quidditch was in the film. Silverspawn?
-
I feel like in every book it as used in some minor way to move the plot along. Plus, Harry being an exceptional flyer was relevant at times.
-
On reflection, I may be remembering the quidditch plot from the sixth film.
This whole discussion should probably be moved to a new thread.

Ron is in the team in both books (5 and 6). In the fifth book, he screws up extremely hard in the first match, but harry saves him by catching the snitch, which in this awful game means ron's performance is almost entirely irrelevant. then malfoy makes fun of ron and harry, harry gets angry and beats him, and as a punishment he's not allowed to play for the rest of the year. in the seocnd match, ron plays just as bad and they lose, and in the third he plays extremely good for some reason, and they win the whole thing.
the 6th book is the one where harry makes ron think that he drank the luck potion to make him play well.
I'm not 100% sure about the movies, but I think they skipped it in the fifth one.
-
So from what I can remember, Quidditch wasn't important to the plot in book 5. It was more important for character development (Ron's, specifically). But it would be tougher to get rid of Quidditch in book 1 (pretty foundational stuff for the young Harry, finally finding something he is good at, something which helps connect him to his father, a place where he feels like he belongs, not to mention the misdirect with Snape/Quirrel messing with Harry's flight). Or in book 3, when dementors attacked during a game and Harry's broom was destroyed. Or in book 4, where the World Cup was a huge thing (introducing portkeys, deatheaters, Crouch, Bagman, Krum and the whole international scene) and where Harry's flying skills were important for the first task.
Which is why I think they had to include the sport in the films. They could downplay it, sure. No need to have 10 minutes of game time where 5 would do. Harry's fall from Dobby's interference in book 2 wasn't super important that I can recall, so maybe that could have been scrubbed out. But they need to keep some Quidditch stuff in, at least on the periphery, so that they could hit those plot points when needed.

I'm a fan of neither the books nor the show, but if the show is such a large divergence from the book as to have to be considered a separate entity, then why the hell does it need to have the same characters and be set in the same world? Why not create something new from the start if the end result is effectively an alternate universe Westeros?
(This is my same beef with the Abrams Star Trek films. At least there, the alternate universe is explicitly acknowledged.)
-
I started typing a reply to that, and then I thought, do I really want to do it?
-
It's not that it's in an alternate universe, it's that it's a different piece of entertainment/art. It's based on the same universe, and the story is the same in broad strokes, but it's purpose is not to be the books put on screen.

That's actually a great analogy. Real life dominion doesn't have point counters or veto mode, but the variant created for online play is still clearly based on it.
Edit: This is to say I agree with Teproc. And for what it's worth I love both the show and the books. If I had to choose one, I'd stick with the books though, so I guess the analogy isn't perfect because in dominion's case the variant trumps the original.

From everything I hear of Game of Thrones though, it's not so much "Almost Dominion, but with some online variants." It's more like "Dominion at the start of the game, but every time you buy a kingdom card you also gain a card from the nearest copy of Ascension, the Curse stack is replaced by a Euchre deck, and you win by taking more tricks than your opponents."

Oh no, it's not nearly that different. More like the difference between the newest iphone and the newest android? Sure, there are some things that don't work the same way, but the basic concepts are very much the same. Season one of the show followed the first book very closely, they've since started to diverge more, I think one big reason is that in the books so many characters have such boring phases in their arcs (literally just walking around for one book without anything happening) that they just have to add some twists because if they don't show someone for a season, no one is going to remember who that is and if they show them doing nothing for a season, people are going to be upset screen time was wasted on them, but I'd say the general spirit of the story in the show is more or less the same than it was in the books.
Of course, the show is now approaching the portion of the story that irritated many readers with it's lack of anything of interest happening, so I'm curious to see what the showrunners will do next.

Feel free to add your own ideas! Mercenary looks like it could sub in for the Prepare Yourself (http://memegenerator.net/Prepare-Yourself) meme. Rats might be able to act as an advice animal. I'm not super familiar with all the art from the cards so I don't know if there are any that could fill in for other meme characters.

There is also a Celestial Chameleon (http://memegenerator.net/Celestial-Chameleon) using his f.ds avatar image instead of a new hi-res offering.

memegenerator isn't very flexible with text placement or sizing, so I'm still captioning these myself. But they are all linked to the backgrounds anyway.

Wow I never knew Explorer was a woman.
In German, where job title suggests sex of its bearer, all people cards (with a chevalier exception made for Witches/Hags) have been given the male title, such as "Entdecker" in lieu of "Entdeckerin", or "Hausierer" ("Peddler"). So this will be more of a revelation for many people who only play the German edition. Looking closer and see that Baker is a woman.

Well, there's only one way to find out the biosex. Gender self-identification is sometimes a different thing, too, so it's complicted. Baker could be a girly-looking male who thinks of herself as female. Or something. I don't know.

But perhaps, it is not really relevant what the true biosex is. Unless the character insists on being neither male or female, we can use the character's preferred way of representing themselves for statistical purposes. Right? If the witch identifies as female, but is biologically male, we can still consider her to be female.

You're just misreading the image. Dude on the right is you. Dude on the left is your opponent. That's you asking "Yo, which two of these three cards should I take? You must know, because you have the crown. How did you even get the crown if you can't make those kind of decisions? I trust you."

In my response image, the art for Advisor is literally flipped to be on the wrong side, relative to the official card art. In order to further exacerbate people with "OCD" (that is, what people on the internet tend to call OCD, rather than the actual disorder which is not at all a laughing matter), I added an open parentheses that is never closed. The text on the bottom has a comma at the end for no reason and the text is off-center. Finally, the entire image is tilted slightly.

I think the articles are OK.
I don't like Sirlin though, mainly because his game Puzzle Strike shamelessly ripped off its design from a fan-made chip version of Dominion:
http://www.boardgamegeek.com/image/395648/dominion
While it's possible that Sirlin came up with the chip idea on his own, but the art direction is obviously stolen, and it was done so without permission. He never even acknowledged the source, let alone apologized for his actions.
He's also a bit of an elitist jerk. If you want to read a ton of drama, here's an example (http://boardgamegeek.com/thread/854583/david-sirlin-asks-solforge-ccg-supporters-leave-hi/page/1).
There are certainly people that support him, and I wouldn't disparage him just for being "outspoken", but the plagiarism with Puzzle Strike has forever soured me on him and his games.

Well, when you love something, it's tough when other people hate it. Even if they have good reasons for that, your mind really wants to rationalize it such that you are right and they are wrong. When people in other forums say that Dominion is just multiplayer solitaire, I get the urge to correct them on the many subtle interactions of the game (not to mention various cards that offer direct interaction).
It's also tough when the thing you love turns out to be not as wonderful as you thought. So you might attempt to ignore or downplay the problems. You may be so good at rationalizing that you convince yourself.
In this case, these people love Puzzle Strike (or maybe Sirlin himself). When it comes out that Puzzle Strike ripped off its graphic design from this fan-made creation with no acknowledgement whatsoever... hey, it's not really plagiarism, if we twist the definition around to fit our purposes! Even if it is plagiarism, it isn't that big a deal. It's the gameplay that matters! And hey, the guy who got ripped off didn't mind! Let's just ignore that the comment we are talking about is kind of sarcastic, and he has since clarified that, yes, he was not entirely pleased (http://boardgamegeek.com/article/10036342#10036342) that he received zero acknowledgement.
Anyway, there's no reason to dwell on it. Some people have made up their mind. I'll leave them to it.

I could never see any Dominion player get that defensive about Dominion or Donald X because, well, the game speaks for itself.
Let's see what happens: "Multiplayer solitaire, neener neener neeener! Grab a stapler, paste the theme, neener neener neeener!"
Would you really defend Dominion on a thematic level ?
I would defend Dominion having a simple theme that doesn't distract from the gameplay

Actually, Teproc's was 4001st post, and silver's was 4002nd post. It is a common mistake to confuse the N-th reply with the N-th post. The real 4000th post, that I am going to share with my faithful readers as a WORLD EXCLUSIVE, was:

I'm going to assume this is not sarcastic and thus explain the joke : beard can mean something else (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Beard).
I had a conversation about this how this term has been misused. It makes sense as the context of concealing infidelity. You have a mistress and a wife, and you can't have this unattached mistress hanging around at social events. So you hire some guy (a beard) to pose as her beau. By all rights, he should have a beard.
It doesn't make sense with mixing genders because, well, women don't have beards. So the only context that it really applies to in regards to concealing sexual identity are:
1) You're a straight man, but you need a husband to give the pretense of being gay (your beard), and/or a male companion for your female companion (the beard for her)
2) You're a gay woman, but you need to give the pretense of being straight, so you need a male companion (beard) for you and/or your female companion.
So now that I've explained it, Teproc's explanation does make sense in this context, since we're talking of lesbians, though the link he provided provides a broader context (defining a beard as a man or woman) with which I disagree.
More explanation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beard_(companion). (They include both definitions without mention of this controversy.)
-
It's more that the gay man is sort of giving himself a beard - appearing more "manly" - by doing what straight men do, i.e. date a woman.

Ah, good old "Bad At Dominion" Greg.
The only legitimate Good Guy Greg Dominion meme I've seen is "Sees you've built an unstoppable Goons engine; Lets you play it out".
A long time ago I posted about a guy I was playing with on Isotropic; when I misclicked and passed him my Colony with a Masquerade instead of a Copper; he passed it back with another Masquerade. I'm wondering if that would be "bad at Dominion Greg" or "Good Guy Greg". Technically, what he did was the wrong move in terms of doing his best to win; but I don't think that makes him bad at Dominion.

So I fell victim to one of the classic blunders in an IRL game last week:

I'd say both. In fact, i think a lot of the "Bad at Dominion" Gregs are still "Good Guy Gregs". Saying that Greg can't be a good guy and bad at Dominion at the same time is like saying that if you give money to the homeless you are not nice, but instead bad at getting rich.
-
I would say doing something to reverse a mistake that never would have happened playing IRL (misclicks) is being nice, and is not also being bad at Dominion. I mean, if I win the game (only) because my opponent accidentally passed me a Colony, I can't say I won because I was better at Dominion, so being nice and giving it back isn't really playing badly unless it is taken out of context of the prior mistake.

Ultimately it comes down to a pedantic nitpick. If you're six years old, you're good enough at Dominion to know that passing the Colony is more likely to make you lose. Then you could debate about whether knowing the optimal move or actually making it is what makes one "good" at Dominion, and the less we try to definitively argue one way or the other about something that's really a subjective choice of definition, the better.

The man whose face has been photoshopped onto the card is David Tennant, who is most famous for playing Barty Crouch Jr. in the fourth Harry Potter film (Goblet of Fire). He's had some bit roles in other film and TV, but they aren't important. In the film, Barty Crouch Jr. uses Polyjuice Potion to take on the guise of Alastor "Mad-Eye" Moody. For most of this time, Moody is the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He is thus known to the students (including Harry Potter, the titular main character) as Professor Moody. In Canada and the US, the title of "Professor" is granted not only to academic teachers but also to scholars with doctorates.
Therefore, it can be said that David Tennant is a "Doctor", which is why he was associated with that card.
Edit: an alternative face to photoshop onto the Doctor card would be that of actor Matt Smith. He is famous for playing Patrick Bateman in American Psycho (the musical). Patrick is a character who allegedly lives a double life, except that he hallucinates and is thus an unreliable narrator. It could be said that his memory and narration are doctored.
Matt Smith has had some bit roles in film and TV as well, including an obscure British show that nobody watches which coincidentally also starred David Tennant for some time. But that piece of esoteric trivia isn't relevant here.

eHalcyon is just poking fun at you, me, or a certain "obscure british TV show". David Tennant is actually one of the best known actors to portrait "the Doctor", main character of British TV show "Doctor Who" about a time-travelling alien, which happens to be able to change forms under certain circumstances (when close to dying), which is why said Doctor was played by many actors over time. I took one of his worst facial expressions ("Tennantface") and added the magical wand sonic screwdriver, item of the Dr's choice. Also the British take great pride in the show, which is extremely long running (not without a break, though) and even got some stamps with motives from it printed.
Tennant actually does play a role in one of the Harry Potter movies, but that's not what this was about.

:-) That makes more sense. Thanks!

Also i should add that its a fun show to watch and available in german, too. The oldest episodes predate color-tv, but you don't need to know them necessarily. You can find the newer episodes (after the show took a break and started again around 2001) on Watchever and certainly on other parts of the internet, too. If you are interested in science-fiction that's a bit over-the-top, you might like it.

Ha! eHalcyon completely had me going. I don't watch Dr. Who, but when I saw that meme, I just assumed right away that it must be one of the actors who played The Doctor. While reading eHalcyon's post, I was just thinking "wow, that's an obscure reference to "doctor"; I thought it was just Doctor Who. Well there you go."

There's a huge* difference! Magic wands can affect organic materials, and sonic instruments can't. Magic wands aren't particularly good as sensing instruments.
But otherwise, yep, pretty much the same, even up to the reliance on "point and think."

He's had some bit roles in other film and TV, but they aren't important. In the film, Barty Crouch Jr. uses Polyjuice Potion to take on the guise of Alastor "Mad-Eye" Moody. For most of this time, Moody is the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He is thus known to the students (including Harry Potter, the titular main character) as Professor Moody. In Canada and the US, the title of "Professor" is granted not only to academic teachers but also to scholars with doctorates.
Therefore, it can be said that David Tennant is a "Doctor", which is why he was associated with that card.
Edit: an alternative face to photoshop onto the Doctor card would be that of actor Matt Smith. He is famous for playing Patrick Bateman in American Psycho (the musical). Patrick is a character who allegedly lives a double life, except that he hallucinates and is thus an unreliable narrator. It could be said that his memory and narration are doctored.
Matt Smith has had some bit roles in film and TV as well, including an obscure British show that nobody watches which coincidentally also starred David Tennant for some time. But that piece of esoteric trivia isn't relevant here.
Has anyone ever told you that you are hilarious?

edit: This was funny until I realized the quoted poster was a girl who had previously expressed hesitation towards the gaming community due to gamergate stuff of which I only have passing knowledge but enough to know that maybe this was maybe better deleted from public view. To those who saw the joke, it was in no way pointed at elenchana but simply a funny reference to something totally unrelated that appeared to be related in a strangely perverse way. This post was self-moderated with no suggestion made by anyone else. All rights and warranties not disclaimed above are considered void without recourse.

Unfortunately, this has the potential to create a time paradox. If the future cards had leaked in the past before or during development, Donald would be way less likely to create the cards in the first place.
I guess if you just went into the future to play it and then kept your mouth shut in the past/present, that might be fine.

Man, I will back the Slowbro in that fight. Steamroller might get lucky and flinch a lot, but a Slowbro has really high Defense. I think probably the Slowbro knocks out the Scolipede with Psychic first.

252+ Atk Scolipede Megahorn vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Slowbro: 242-288 (61.4 - 73%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
0 SpA Slowbro Psychic vs. 16 HP / 0 SpD Scolipede: 264-312 (99.6 - 117.7%) -- 93.8% chance to OHKO
Scolipede is faster, but you still have to back Slowbro, especially if Stealth Rock is up.
Because f.DS does not have enough damage calcs.

He didn't say Megahorn, though. He said Steamroller, which has just over half Megahorn's power. It's more accurate than Megahorn and can flinch, but still.

If it makes you feel any better, werothegreat, Scolipede is one of the two Pokémon I trained in 6th gen before giving up. The other was (Mega) Banette. Then I was all like, "Next I want a Rain Dish Tentacruel. OH WAIT I CAN'T POSSIBLY GET ONE THANKS GAMEFREAK!"

IIRC, I've got a box full of Ferroseed with Leech Seed, Stealth Rock and Spikes, which are basically all the egg moves to care about. As breeding rejects, they should have 3-4 perfect IVs.

I was going to say "WHAAAAAA!?", but then I remembered that Steamroller is a super uncommon move. Only the Venipede line and Golem can learn it. So it's completely reasonable for you not to have encountered it.

Well, I would admit that I'm not an expert on even the current official Doubles game, but yeah, Ferrothorn seems like a decent Gravity user. Acid Spray is a nice, un-Tauntable debuff-plus-sash-killer. Worry Seed is very niche, but also a possibility.

My understanding was that Gravity is not a popular field effect at all, and I question the use of a SpAtk on Ferrothorn. But I don't know, I guess Doubles is a funky place.

I have seen Gravity do some impressive stuff. Its advertised effect is bringing down fliers, but the real game-changer is that it makes all moves (except 1HKO moves) 2/3 more likely to hit. So e.g. Zap Cannon becomes ≈83% accurate. If you build your team around that, it can be pretty effective.
The point of Acid Spray isn't to do damage, so it's not like I'm advocating putting SpAtk EVs into Ferrothorn. It's just nice to have as a support move that can't be disabled with Taunt. If you're running a Trick Room team and your opponent resists Gyro Ball, you can have Ferrothorn use Acid Splash and then follow up with a special attack from its partner. Maybe it's never worthwhile, but it does reduce SpDef 2 levels, which is pretty harsh.
-
I know what Gravity does and it's always interested me, but I thought that it just never really worked out to be effective in any meta. Like, there would be the rare team that pulled it off, but it was never good enough to get wide play like trick room or weather teams. I really want to see a pokemon with a Gravity-inducing ability.

Gravity does stack with those other effects, so it's not necessarily an either/or thing. I have never made a Gravity team myself, but I have played against a couple (in Doubles) and they weren't total jokes.
I really want to see a pokemon with a Gravity-inducing ability.
That would be cool.
Anyway, we should probably move this to the Pokémon topic if we're going to continue it.

Ha ha! Yes. Yes I do. Man, it's amazing how far the game has come since then.

Wasn't it "use Psychic and Normal type Pokemon"?

Use Normal, and use Psychic if opponent type equals "Rock" OR "Ghost"

Wait a second, I'm not sure I get this one. I thought this was Young Witch at first, as a riff on Ash being a supernatural eternal youth, but then I realized that it's Fairgrounds.
(Edit: Wait, it's not Fairgrounds either. What was this card again? ???)
(Edit 2: Wait, it is Fairgrounds! But the online art is brighter (http://www.playdominion.com/Dominion/CardBuilder/img/illustration/fairgrounds.jpg).)

This is a reference to the Pied Piper of Hamelin. It is quite witty. You can upvote it.
See, this is all wrong. You need to explain it, this is just pointing out what it's about, that's no help to someone unfamiliar with the tale of the Pied Piper.
The Pied Piper of Hameln is a German folk tale about a guy coming in the town of Hameln (near Hannover I believe) with a magic pipe that made all the rats of the town follow him. He offered his services to the burgmeister for a price, since getting rids of all the rats in a medieval town is a pretty valuable skill. He did that, drowning all the rats in the Weser, but then the burgmeister refused to pay him. The piper was understandably pissed, so he came back a few days later and used the pipe to charm all the children. It's not clear what happened to them, but they disappeared anyway.
So here the joke is that the Wandering Minstrel (which would be the Pied Piper because he's a stranger playing a musical instrument) is making Rats come at night so that his service would be more valuable. This could be qualified as a conspiracy theory, which fits this new meme based on the Dominion card Conspirator.
Fun fact : A popular theory among historians about the Pied Piper is that he's representing recruiting sergeants going around Germany at the time to get people to settle in Eastern lands (notably around modern Poland and Ukraine), thus taking all the young people away from their native villages.

I didn't think it would be that popular. I just thought of WM while looking at the Conspirators meme, and then I thought "must be PP." It's nice that what he actually does in-game actually would summon your Rats, more often than most cards.

Almost all actual first-world problems are actual problems, but the ones used in these memes are typically something that's already super good, just not the best possible thing. I guess that bad shuffle luck in Dominion is a first-world problem in reality, but if we ignore reality and just look at Dominion (Dominion is much more fun than reality anyway!), then having to Throne Room your Library is really a lot worse than your opponent having 5 curses in hand against your 5x Mountebank turn or something.

Yeah, they can't all be the first-worldest problem.
-
A first world problem IS an actual problem. Just a minor one considering the larger situation.
Of course. But having to play TR-Library is usually an actual problem, and the times in which is good are either edge-casey or totally unrelated to the fact that you are throning Library.
Playing TR-Library is better than having a truly dead card and playing Library, and it's way better than the problems you *usually* have with Throne Room. If the next card in your deck was a terminal, then TR saved you from a collision. Not that edge-casey.

That's, once again, an actual problem. Unless you are saying being in an online community is so awesome in itself that whatever opinion you get is a minor issue.

Chrome calls it zooming in. As does pretty much any program that fiddles with pictures. :P
Zoom is when something far away is made to look closer. I suppose the term has also been adopted for webpages and other documents, but the main idea is still that the item is not actually changing size, it's just your view of it that is changing. Image viewing programs could also let you zoom in on a picture, making it appear larger, but the image itself still has the same dimensions.
To fit more readable text on an image, you actually need to increase the pixel size of the image. When you do this, it is scaling, not zooming. So for example, in Photoshop, I can open a 300x300 image. I could then zoom in and the image will take up twice as much space on my screen, but it is still 300x300. But I could then go and change the image size to 600x600, which would be called scaling the image.

It just sounds awkward to a native speaker. A good way to think of it is that the most important adjective goes closest to the noun. What kind of lesson is it? You're more likely to answer "English" than "private."

*Private English lessons.
Seriously? My dictionary says, that a "private lesson" is the word I need in general. So why is "english private lesson" not the right word for a private lesson in english?
Because private lesson is not a word, but a two-word phrase—private, an adjective, plus lesson, a noun.
In English lesson, meaning 'lessons about English', English is functioning as a noun, not an adjective. (If English is an adjective, English lessons means 'lessons from England'.) Combinations of two nouns in English are usually treated like a single word in English grammar, even though they are often spelled as two words. This is the case for English lesson: you can't put an adjective like private between the two nouns English and lesson because English lesson functions as a single word.
And then the people say, that german is a complicated language…
German and English are actually very similar in this regard! The difference is only that German almost always writes its noun-noun combinations as a single word, whereas English often writes them as two words even when they function as a single word.
I don't actually speak German, so I don't know if this is a good example, but: is there a difference between an englische Lektion and an Englischlektion? If so, that's the same thing as what I'm talking about for English.

I think there is a difference, like in english. "englische Lektion" means a lesson, that is tought in english language, so you can put a word between like "Mathe" which would be a math(-)lesson, in english language. But "Englischlektion" is a lesson in the subject english, so you can just put a word in front of it.

"englische Lektion" sounds uncommon, could probably mean probably this lesson's language was english. But I would expect this phrase more in the context of a 'bitter lesson' that you got from an english person, or in England. 'Englischlektion' is definitely a lesson on the english language.

Also, even though it doesn't apply in this specific case, in English you have to use adjectives in a certain order.

It may be awful, but it's grammatically correct. The semicolon is not incorrect, either, though you'd never actually use it here. But this is missing the entire point, which is that you can have a single grammatically correct sentence with 11 "had's" in a row. Moreover, you can change the meaning by changing the punctuation. (The new punctuation still gives a correct sentence.)

That text doesn't properly conform to the meme's grammar. You'd need to make it something like:
"CONSECUTIVIZE ALL THE WORDS"
*syntax
Isn't syntax an element of grammar?
I think he meant it should be "Syntax all the words."
-
I just felt like jumping on the correcting bandwagon. Grammar isn't wrong, but I think syntax is more appropriate.

There's probably an edge case, but I wouldn't be that proud of myself for gaining both of those cards in the same game.

I mean, it's Leo. Of course he'd trash the cache rather than topdeck it.

I actually played a game with Masterpiece, Trader, and Feodum on the board. I ignored Trader in favour of Smithy for big Masterpiece buys. I won, but I'm not sure it was because of the Smithy or because I lucked out the Feodum and/or Silver Split.

Thanks for the explanation.
Anytime!
I don't actually speak German, so I don't know if this is a good example, but: is there a difference between an englische Lektion and an Englischlektion? If so, that's the same thing as what I'm talking about for English.
I think there is a difference, like in english. "englische Lektion" means a lesson, that is tought in english language, so you can put a word between like "Mathe" which would be a math(-)lesson, in english language. But "Englischlektion" is a lesson in the subject english, so you can just put a word in front of it.
Yeah, so English is basically the same in that respect. And that's why you can have a private English lesson, not an English private lesson.
If I am privately teaching someone how to apply spin to a cue ball, and I'm teaching in English but their native language isn't, is that a private English English lesson, or an English private English lesson?
Further extension: what if the person I'm teaching is a recent army recruit, and what if I'm specifically teaching them to decrease the amount of spin they apply?
What if you are teaching him how to apply spin with his Gentlemanly parts..... and your lesson was part of your non-state controlled business.

You have a Princed Scheme. You saw your opponent's hand via Cutpurse and know that he will possess you. You managed I to put 3 victory cards on your deck due with Cartographer. You decide to Scheme your Cutpurse (which will hurt your opponent) and Shanty Town, so that your opponent won't draw any useful cards.

Okay, it *really* irks me that Salvager stacks duplicate cards even when you have 5 or fewer cards in hand. I mean, when iso did that it was fine, because the way it stacked it still looked like you had the right amount of cards in hand. I don't want Goko to stack duplicates until my hand is literally overflowing (which is what it does without Salvager) because otherwise for a few seconds I'm thinking "wait, why do I only have 2 cards in my hand?"

Explanation (http://www.twitch.tv/elatalkstoherself/c/5918458)
I think you only have to drag the first card, and then left-click the other four. It's been a while, but I think that's how it goes.
It's still dumb. You should be allowed to click Discard or Keep and then left-click the order. Dragging anything anywhere is a pain. It makes Watchtower loathsome.
Nice that he Good Guy Gregged it back to you, though.
Oh wow, the meme was posted before this game was even finished?
-

I just saw. I might've gotten Navigator and Junk Dealer. Trash Coppers, discard Provinces. But Navigator-only ended up beating Junk Dealer-only. I'm not sure how my picks would've worked out.
-
Dragging anything anywhere is a pain. It makes Watchtower loathsome.
I don't mind Watchtower dragging. The trash pile is on the right side of the screen, the draw pile is on the left side, it's a bit dumb that you have to drag it but it's not a problem. But with Navigator, both target locations are pretty much in the same place so it's extremely hard to not accidentally discard your good cards.

You got Beggar from your opponent's Swindler, Poor House is the best engine payload on the board and the engine is stronger than Beggar+Gardens.

Seriously? That sounds an awful lot like "Scout/Chancellor is a great combo - if all other cards on the board are Embargoed five times and you got them both from Swindler."
I mean, come on. Swindled cards that aren't even used as part of a "combo"?

It's a lot better to get an Estate Swindled into a Beggar and then just build a regular engine than to also get your Worker's Villages Swindled into Gardens if you're going for the engine.

It's a Poor House engine where Beggar is the only draw.

That's like saying that sometimes Curse/Gardens was better than Gardens/Worker's Village, because if Swindler had hit my Gardens and replaced it with a Worker's Village i would have less points.
Technically true, but i feel you are interpreting the question too much as "Can you make up a case where i would want to gain a Beggar instead of a Gardens if i allready bought Poor House?" instead of "Are there boards where Beggar/Poor House is a superior strategy to Beggar/Gardens?"

Gardens are weak because Bishop is available alongside Vineyards and a great engine (maybe Scrying Pool). Beggar/Poor House can serve as two of the cheap action cards you drain to pump your Vineyards and end the game on piles.

It's more that chapel is ignorable more often than wharf is ignorable. But that's not really important. And I do feel a little bad, especially since once upon a time my avatar was chapel.

Real question -- are playtesters privy to the cards in their final forms?

I wonder if there are any cards like hermit and urchin in this set. If so, it would be awesome if the playtesters didn't know about them. I think I like the cards like hermit and urchin, but I hope they aren't stupidly good like hermit and urchin are. Sure, hermit is fun, balanced, and high-skill, but they shouldn't all be the best $3-cost ever.

Explorer's Theorem says that they can't be for N=5. The Generalized Explorer's Theorem is trivial for N=4 due to Scout's Example. For other N, the GET is an open problem.

Man, why do people even complain about Hovel? They can't all be the best $1 ever.
-
But for N in Z^2 there may be some counterexamples. Say, (4,1) (=4P).
-
We define an $N-cost to be a supply pile with cost N in Z^3 (a,b,c) where a is its cost in coins and b is its cost in potions and c is its cost in bacon cheeseburger tokens. Hovel is not a $1, and even if it were, you could half-reasonably argue that it is the best $1 ever.
List of known examples:
(4,0,0)
(5,0,0)
(6,0,0)
List of known counterexamples:
(1,0,0)
(4,1,0)
(6,1,0)
(11,0,0)

But then some other $1 could not be the best $1 ever.
-
(0,0,1) is a counterexample, because we can take any space that includes both Shake Shack and any fast food chain (e.g., Wendy's).

Zoidberg should be exactly the same as Chancellor except that any time you could have gained a Zoidberg (as the choice made by an Action as played up until then or as a buy you had with $3 or more available) but do not choose to do so, you have to explain "why not Zoidberg".
(If you Remodel a Copper, you don't have to explain "why not Zoidberg" even if you had something else like a Silver you could have trashed. Only if you trashed something costing $1 or more would you have to explain "why not Zoidberg".)

Also, there was some confusion about Pearl Diver: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nevermind
An additional take on the "Nevermind" text is that Pearl Diver's Action is so weak that one might as well not even bother with it, but I'm not sure that was intentional.

I figured the dollar stood for a Copper and "Nevermind" was just what you'd think when you allready had a Pearl Diver leave it there and now played a second, third, etc Pearl Diver. If you didn't want to put it on top the first time, you won't the times after that.
Edit: The cover makes way more sense.

I don't remember exactly what happened. I think I bought Feodums and trashed them with Rats. Opponent gained a bunch of estates (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=faOhB9eaWYg) with Baron and then trashed them with Rats. The final score was something like 15 points in 30 turns.

If I were you, I would have some fun with this. Open double curse/ estate. Open scout/moat. Open duchy/estate. That should get him to stop playing with you. Then have the audacity to ask him, "Why don't you play with me anymore?"*

Edge case: near a reshuffle, and you really don't want to draw the Copper again, or have it in your new deck.

I wouldn't even call that an edge case. Seems like an important difference to me.
Edge cases: Coppersmith and Counting House.

Hmm. Definitely play C-smith before S-teller.
-
Ok, I read about the card, and Clarence is sort of right, but only if you have all three cards in hand. In that case, you will play both cards eventually. You would have to decide whether you want a chance of additional cycling, or if you want to hold on to the Copper the first time on the chance that you might hit a good price point before playing the second action. If you play Cellar first, then you can try to get a bunch of bigger treasures in hopes that you can hit a big handsize when you play Storyteller. On the other hand, if you have all your big money already, Storyteller first will probably let you Cellar your green cards.
If you want "Cellar-as-Storyteller", you have to throw in a Peddler and ignore everything but Copper.
-
Storyteller draws an extra card compared to cellar in any event.

The stuff you hear on the radio is awful (regardless of the genre, really), but pop is an incredibly (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_oU94f1_bjo) diverse (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjj5WbtenTM) genre (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcIOg_m-bp4) of (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ae4VG5aNMM) music (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_LS7i59nHw) (if you don't feel like checking out all of them, just checking out the first two should be enough to make the point pretty clear) and there are many great artists out there.

Most old music you hear is good. Most new music you hear is bad. That means old music was generally better, doesn't it? No, it doesn't. It means that music is played when it's good or new, and that if music is old AND bad, nobody wants to hear it, no station plays it, and you probably don't even know it exists.
That's not limited to music, of course. At some point in time, cinemas showed "Plan 9 from Outer Space". That movie is as horrible today as it was then, and because it's so horrible, it isn't shown anymore. This in turn means that many people don't even know it exists, which again means that they don't consider it when thinking about the quality of old movies. And this is even an example of a relatively well known old bad movie. How many bad songs, movies, TV shows, theatre pieces etc do you think there exist that you are glad to never have heard of?

I tend to prefer Coke over Pepsi anyway, but the real reason I wouldn't call all soda "coke" is because I wouldn't call Dr. Pepper "Coke" either. Coke is a species!
To me, it's fine to call tissues Kleenex, but it wouldn't be fine to call a paper towel Kleenex. Does this mean that I would be ok with calling RC Cola "Coke"? Maybe I should allow it, but it still feels wrong...

Canada (at least where I live) is like the northern US; we tend to say "pop", or else "soft drinks" to be more formal. "Soda" feels about as wrong to me as "coke" does. But again, it's a regional thing. That's just how it is.

Virvoitusjuoma, limonaadi, limppari, limsa, limu, limppa, limska, limo on top of my head but there are probably others as well. I usually use limppari in casual speech and virvoitusjuoma in formal contexts.

I have lived in the South pretty much all of my life. Nobody calls all soda 'coke' as a blanket term in any part of Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, or Tennessee I've been to. Maybe some backwater regions do, but where I have experienced dialogue, 'soda' is the general term. Now, I usually order a Coke at a restaurant just assuming they have it, as Pepsi is much less common here (also I despise Pepsi), so maybe that's where this misconception comes from. That's my theory, anyway.
And yes, I have spent a fair amount of time in Atlanta. Even there, the idea of calling a beverage 'Sprite coke' is completely alien to me. There are cherry cokes, grape cokes, etc, but that's because those flavors of Coke actually do exist.
Now, if you want to hear weird, I will admit that I have heard many elderly people call Coke 'co-cola.' It might just be an antiquated colloquialism for coke that's gone out of style.

People learn more of their linguistic behavior from their peers than their parents; and even that doesn't 100% mean "you acquire the exact same linguistic system as your peers" so much as "you learn from your peers what the social structure of the dialect is and then figure out how you fit into it."

I have lived in the South pretty much all of my life. Nobody calls all soda 'coke' as a blanket term in any part of Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, or Tennessee I've been to.

I have been seeing these types of survey results all my life, but I have about 29 years of experience communicating with people in this region and have never heard anyone refer to all sodas as 'coke.' It's possible both my wife and I are major exceptions to the rule in this regard (she has also never heard anyone do this), but I suspect either: 1) these numbers were pulled out of nowhere 2) people were only polled in extremely specific regions where MAYBE people call all sodas 'coke.'

I don't doubt that, don't get me wrong, but personal experience has to count for something. I strongly suspect there is cherry-picking going on in these types of polls.

It's also the case that you might not notice people around you using "coke". I mean, I'm a "soda"-user living in a "pop" city, and I notice when people say "pop" because it's not a word I would use in that context anyway. But I don't think I would notice as frequently if someone said "coke" meaning 'soda', because a lot of the time I couldn't tell that they're not just using "coke" to mean 'Coke'.

Since these are online polls, they're probably biased toward younger and less-"backwater"y people—i.e., if there's a bias, they're biased toward the people who are less likely to say "coke".

72% of the people who were able to convince said website that they were from Tennessee trolled with "coke" as the answer. I have to believe it for my sanity.

I don't doubt that, don't get me wrong, but personal experience has to count for something.
Actually, and this is a really important point when considering data analysis, personal experience counts exactly zero when weighed against actual data. This is especially true if two people present personal anecdotes that cancel each other out.
More specifically, as long as one available personal anecdote exists that contradicts your personal anecdote, you cannot generalize from either anecdote. This is particularly true when we're dealing with a negative anecdote. I've never seen a total solar eclipse, but I can't generalize that and suggest that total solar eclipses never actually happen.

Well we can say that it's surprising that if so many people in the south refer to all soda as coke, that jsh hasn't noticed anyone doing this. We would expect him to have given his experiences. That said, I am much more persuaded by the data than the anecdotal evidence.
-
my grandmother (NC) referred to all soft drinks as cokes. not "what kind of coke" or "sprite coke" though, just, "there are some cokes in the fridge" to mean "there are some soft drinks in the fridge."
i have not heard this among the younger generations, but the statistics also suggest it's less common in NC.
-
Well, considering how I worded my previous post, consider how many people say "sprite soda" or "sprite pop" instead of just "sprite". The idea was that all those things mentioned were called "coke" instead of "pop" or "soda" in the same context.

Right.
I should note I'm not intending to sound harsh here; I'm not trying to say your actual experience is invalid as an experience, jsh. It's obvious that it actually happened, much like my not having seen a total solar eclipse.

I lived in various parts of NC from 1968 to 1987. When I first arrived, the standard greeting when visiting friends was "Can I get you a coke?". If the answer was affirmative, the followup question was "OK, what would you like?" and you were then expected to name the beverage you preferred. Interestingly, the answer in many cases was "iced tea", but the generic term "coke" was meant to cover all non-alcoholic beverages, carbonated or otherwise.
This usage seemed to be more prevalent in the more rural areas, particularly in the eastern sections of the state. In more urban areas (Raleigh, Greensboro, Winston-Salem, Charlotte), it was less widespread in my experience. By the time I got to Chapel Hill in 1977, I had either become so used to it that it didn't register, or it didn't happen as much there (perhaps because we were mostly drinking beer). When I go back now to see family, I don't hear it very often.
Both my maternal grandparents referred to Coke as co-cola, as if the extra syllable on the bottle was one too many. My grandfather would only drink his Coke from the small 8 ounce bottles, and as a youngster I can remember being assigned the task of keeping up with the bottles (for the deposit) on the runs to the grocery store. Pepsi products were never served in that household, which is odd, given that Pepsi was invented in New Bern (by a Chapel Hill grad).

Just think, he could have spread it out over 26 posts and gotten hundreds of upvotes.

I originally was considering that, and then I thought, "Nah, that would be an incredibly shitty, whore-y thing to do." :)
I'm just rather flattered that the post currently has more upvotes than Donald's Secret Adventures History...

It's not shitty and whore-y if you're winning! Okay, it is, but at least you're a winning whore.

Guide doesn't let you reorder the cards if you keep them, though. Or technically you're allowed to reorder them as much as you want, it just doesn't actually benefit you.

No, they really don't. Navigator affects the next turn, Guide affects the current turn. Guide is whenever you want at the start of any turn.

No, they really don't. Navigator affects the next turn, Guide affects the current turn. Guide is whenever you want at the start of any turn.
I play Navigator, look at the next five cards, and either put them back or discard them. Since it's terminal, those five will usually be the next five I draw. Or I can decide to try for the next five.
I play Guide, it goes on my mat. Next turn, I look at my next five cards, and can either keep them, or discard them, trying for the next five.
How is this not the same thing? Yes, there are differences - Guide can protect from handsizes and be saved for a while, Navigator can reorder. But they're both looking at (normally) five cards, and deciding to keep them or take the next five.
-
So basically, Navigator is just a stupid card.

Navigator is also a terminal silver. You could ignore that, but that's kind of a big deal. Guide can't whiff. At worst, you can get stuck playing it in a borderline situation. You could ignore that too, but that's also kind of a big deal.
Also, Lost Arts + Gear is two Havens in a row, sort of but not really.
EDIT: I mean, if we can just ignore "+$2" once per card if we feel like it, then Cache is just three Coppers for the low, low price of $5... And if we can ignore "+1 card, +1 action" whenever we feel like it, then Laboratory is actually just a Ruined Library.....

I don't know if it was any different in the books, but the TV series didn't make it look like he had any options, and no one thought Joffrey would go rogue (even though, you know, 20/20 hindsight). Everyone thought Ned was going to the wall.

Probably any kingdom with Ferry, Upgrade, and Poor House.

It will probably be better to place it on a $3 instead.

(...but not Junk Dealer, or arguably Rat Catcher or possibly Chapel. Junk Dealer severely upstages Upgrade as a pure trasher more than anything else, though. Swindler and/or Mountebank could make Upgrade more desirable too.)
-

Oh, that's usually true. The token can only go on Actions, though, so that just means there's yet another condition. If it's a derpy terminal like Chancellor, though, then it's hard to say. Great Hall would be sort of the opposite.

Breaks the Rules Wine Merchant?
Wait how is that breaking the rules? You don't need to reveal a Province to someone else's Tournament. I was thinking of a game where player 1 is playing an engine with a bunch of Tournaments for cantrip economy and reshuffles mid-turn, then right after that player 2 starts revealing Provinces leaving player 1 at the top of a shuffle with nowhere to go and a lot of Tournaments/engine parts all in play to miss the shuffle. Specifics are questionable but it was midnight when I made that picture.
-
It's "breaking the rules" if you reveal a Tournament, ask the other person if they wish to reveal, wait for them to say "No", reshuffle to draw, and then the person reveals. It's too late for the reveal. Well really it's not a rule breaking; the reveal of the Province just doesn't do anything.
If you just preemptively start shuffling, then that's your fault, and you're technically not allowed to do that. So that is a rule breaking, but since your discard pile is not really ordered anyway, it doesn't matter much. You just put it back.

That's not how it works.. Things can't miss the shuffle because you decide to shuffle out of order. You only shuffle when something does something to the top of your deck (e.g., draw, reveal), and there is no deck there. There is no decision in the matter.
In the case of a revealed Province to a Tournament, no card is drawn so no shuffling happens.

I think she means they play another Tournament.

Ohhhh that's what you mean. I meant the next Tournament after that person reshuffles. It didn't occur to me that there might be a loophole because of the Goko format where you literally can't cheat there.

You just turn it over. You don't flip it in the air and see what side comes up. It's just a way to track that you get the effect every other time.

Does he have a defective token that's face down on both sides? It's always going to alternate. If it's face down, you turn it face up and vice versa.

Teacher is one of the few cards that describes a female-heavy profession, but Teacher is male. Most cards are gender-neutral in English, but the "witches" are all female and Taxman is male. There's also Harem, which... yeah, ok.
Duchess is a niche gain at best. It can be a life-saver when something horrible like Sea Hag is on the board. I guess we can give Sea Hag a pass because there's an equally negative hermit/madman?
The one thing I actually would have wanted to see change is that I'd rather see the singular "they" when referring to players. It's more or less established as a thing, whereas well-meaning pronouns with z's in them are a nice thought and all, but no.

The red-blooded American patriots decided to fetishize him as an exemplar of American can-do attitude and whitewash what he actually did. It's really gross, and quality of life for Joe Native American still isn't up to par 500+ years later. I don't know if you're American or not, but he was a huge staple of K-6 education when I was growing up, and he might still be for all I know. And I probably wouldn't know how horrible he was if it weren't for college Columbus Day protests and/or internet essays/cartoons circulating on the internet.
-
History classes for K-6 is 90% nationalist propaganda, and a lot of adults won't ever accept anything different from that, not now or until the day they die. Columbus is America's origin myth. He's the "in the beginning" of the America F Yeah Testament of the Bible. If people didn't make him into that, then he wouldn't be any more than one out of the countless genocidal zealots that stain the pages of history.

I don't think it really matters at any rate whether we celebrate the day now or not. Most people don't know about his evil deeds; people aren't celebrating that, they're simply celebrating America's founding. A bad thing has become a good thing, in a sense. I think evil things done in the past can be remodified in the name of tradition to more positive things. Should we? Depends. Do I like Columbus Day? Not really. But I won't vouch to get rid of it.

I might consider this someday. After all, if you open Plan/Chapel, you guarantee that you have a Chapel in a 10 card deck, which prevents your Chapel from missing the shuffle. Yes, there's less economy, but I wouldn't completely rule out the idea if there are heavy junkers and a Turn 5 Chapel could cost you the game.

I guess that depends on how wide a range "worst" encompasses. You could also say Young Witch is one of the worst attacks, since there are better attacks. ::)

Trash a Rats from your hand. Each other player discards a Rats (or reveals a hand containing no Rats). Gain a Rats, putting it on your deck.

Buy Rats.
Turn all your junk into Rats.
Buy Ratcatcher.
Slowly trash all your Rats with Ratcatcher.
Find yourself many turns behind where you would have been if you had just trashed your junk with Ratcatcher.
Yeah, I'd say that's about the strategic equivalent of buying Young Witch. :o

I'm not saying it's equivalent. It was an exaggeration to demonstrate the point, which is that I don't think Ratcatcher is at the bottom of the barrel but it depends on where you draw the line for "bottom". It can be worth it to get Rats and some slower non-cost-based trasher to deal with the Rats after, if your strategy doesn't mind extra actions but wants to get rid of other junk more quickly.
-
I'm pretty sure this entire discussion of ratcatcher/rats is ignoring the important question of whether or not this is a vineyards game.
-
Maybe with an attractive +buy, you could get multiple Ratcatchers later. You're slightly better off trashing a Rats than you are trashing any other junk card directly, but you don't want to have more than 3-4 Rats in your deck at any time. Maybe you open Rats-Woodcutter and hit $4 with Woodcutter really early. The trouble, I think, is that the "+ card" benefit isn't strong enough to compensate if you can't hit the ground running with Ratcatchers around the time you get your 2nd or 3rd Rats. It would also be fine on a board with junk attacks - you could Rats the junk if your Catcher isn't on the mat. Overall, it's a balancing act, and you need to keep the Rats in check or else you've missed the point. The relative difference is probably small in favor of the combo over just Ratcatcher, if there is any difference at all. And I doubt that it would work without +buy.
Of course I'd much rather have Upgrade, Junk Dealer, Salvager, Transmogrify, or Remodel. Even Develop would be better. I would somewhat loathe Expand as a rat trasher, though, unless King's Court is on the board, and I never seem to have great luck trying to Forge the bastards, either - I think colliding three cards is too hard, even if you've trashed most of your starter deck. You don't really want to keep your Estates, either, so trashing a single Rats along with a different card will hit all kinds of empty or unattractive price points.
-
With Scrying Pool it works, there are probably other combinations that work, but edge cases don't invalidate the general rule.
The point is that 99 times out of 100 trashing Rats with Ratcatcher is a losing strategy.
Arguing about whether there is a worse losing strategy than this losing strategy is pointless semantics.
-
Opening with Ratcatcher into Messneger-Rats could also be interesting. You would definitely get the better end of the deal if anyone else skipped Ratcatcher.
Overall, I'm not so sure that you need anything more than +buy to make it work marginally better than just Ratcatcher. Scrying Pool would make it much better for sure, but I'm not so sure that 99% of the time it can't be done.
-
Also, junk attacks are a thing. I would play Rats-Ratcatcher against Sea Hag. Junk attacks and +buy both make a big difference, and neither is an exotic edge case.
Overall, it is a little odd that Ratcatcher is called Ratcatcher when the obvious combo is fairly weak to the point where it needs support.

No, it's 83 times out of 100. I can make up numbers too!
Did you know that 79% of statistics are made up on the spot?
But 93% of people will believe anything if you use a percentage.

Don't worry, when I do stats my fail rate is only 0.001 .
Well, rat is only good when trashing is good (Remodel and so on), right ? And Ratcatcher-rat ?

I think Ratcatcher/Rats can be worth it if you're getting junked with Ruins/Curses, but probably not for your starting Estates/Shelters.
-
Ratcatcher/Rats can be worth it if your opponent gives you a Rats with Ambassador or Masquerade. I can't think of any other reason to do this.
-
Without rats : curse + 4 cards.
With rats : curse + rats + 3 cards -> 4 cards, you trashed a curse and you gained a new rats.
You have to NEED these rats - who knows ? it can boost vineyards and remove that -1 point at least). So I'd agree with AdamH, but at the end of the day you go ratcatcher/rats to exterminate rats (at least it's nice thematically)
-
Scrying Pool is another reason. Maybe Venture, if you want to clear Copper faster. And more generally, non-cost-based trashers like Hermit may like it for turning Copper into trashable actions.

But just going for Ratcatcher and skipping Rats is better here. The only cases where that matters are if the game is ending and that one point matters (in which case Ratcatcher at all is probably wrong? That's not exactly clear) or you care about Rats being an Action card for some reason.
But if you care about Rats being an Action card, then why are you trashing it with Ratcatcher?
I've tried Rats with Scrying Pool and Vineyard. It's just not good. Just thinning is better, so you don't actually want the Rats.
And none of this takes into account the fact that there's a significant opportunity cost associated with buying Rats and then drawing Rats once you decide you're done playing them and they aren't already out of your deck. Ratcatcher is slow trashing and those Rats multiply super-fast.

Also, why isn't there a plugin that allows me to type Rats, or even Rats (http://wiki.dominionstrategy.com/index.php/Rats), and produce a link to the wiki and a card image on rollover?
Working on it. This post is the first test; if this works, then then your markup in the quoted text should be automatically changed to a card link. Here we go!
*Edit* Woot! Ok, now to make it so that if you have the extension, links like that will include a hover with the image popup.

Have no fear, liopoil is here! The best way to deal with a rats infestation is to build a watchtower in your backyard equipped with a laser to instantly shoot any rats that come out from hiding.
Under 10 minutes, not bad.
Alternative strategy: get a cat.
Shouldn't you go for the best of both worlds? Gain the cat and then topdeck it with Watchtower?

I disagree. It just says "a possession turn", which to me makes no implication whether it is your turn or your opponent's turn. And from the context of you gaining a card, we can infer that it is your opponent's turn.

It doesn't say it's your opponent's turn. In the lack of an indicator, my natural assumption is that it's your turn. If you say that you do something on a turn, it is implied that it is your turn.

pacovf was correct, though I'm not sure why that post is back to #5000. Maybe theory dropped in a new post or something.
That said, there was also this, which is maybe what you're talking about:
Maybe those "quantum effects" were also related to the whole "have to scroll up a post to see new posts" thing.
But I don't think that was ever confirmed as a related issue.

Sure. My point is that I don't think that problem was related to the thread size. Nobody even suggested it was other than sudgy, and that problem was occurring in Random 1 long before we got to split time. I seem to recall it had also been happening in some much smaller threads.

I really want to find a solution to the problem of making lists of movies where a movie being on that list spoils something about the movie. Like if you have "top ten movies where the bad guy wins" or "top ten movies where it turns out it was all in the main guy's head". There's just nothing you can do! You can warn people that there will be spoilers, but you can't possibly warn them which movies will be spoiled! So you just have to avoid reading the list completely in case a movie you haven't seen but want to see is on the list. WatchMojo's top ten lists often have this problem.

My personal Top Star Wars movies list is a top 3. Not much beyond that. Actually i hardly know how to fill that list, even. I liked episode 4 and 5. Episode 6 is the same movie as 4 with Evoks, the prequels have mediclorians and Jar Jar Binx, The Clone Wars strike me as "bang bang pew pew man that's so cool" rubbish to pull money from adolescent boy's pockets by selling crappy merchandise.

Can-trip and cant-rip are almost the same if you talk fast enough. I think for a pun, moving the syllable divider one or two letters over is par for the course.
I had considered doing a "can-trip" joke, but ultimately, it's no guarantee that they WILL trip, and it's not like a bunch of terminals and non-drawers are going to be trying to trip but failing at it, either.

How do you say "cantrip"?
I can't speak for qmech, but for me I think the issue is not so much that I pronounce "cantrip" differently, but that I pronounce "can't rip" differently.
It seems to me that the joke works best in an American accent.
I don't know how best to explain it, because I'm no linguist and I can't follow that IPA notation.
To me, Americans say "can't" as "KAANT" and I (an Australian) say "KARNT".
Cantrip to me is "KAANTRIP", so I can see how the joke works in American English.
-
To do it without IPA and have it make sense to all: for non-NA English "can't" rhymes with "font" (approximately).* In NA dialects, "can't" rhymes with "ant." I may be wrong, but I believe Brits say "ant" with the flattened tense a sound.
*Ignoring those NA dialects where "font" rhymes with "haunt"** because let's face it, something's wrong with those people.
**And further ignoring British dialects where "haunt" rhymes with NA "can't". I can't even.
-
for non-NA English "can't" rhymes with "font" (approximately).*
I don't understand how these two words can rhyme.
For me, "can't" rhymes with "aunt". Having said that, for some "aunt" probably sounds like "ant". To me, "aunt", sounds like "aren't". Of course, I don't really pronounce the "r" in "aren't".
-
I can't follow that IPA notation.
How do you learn to pronounce foreign languages then?
-
*Ignoring those NA dialects where "font" rhymes with "haunt"** because let's face it, something's wrong with those people.
How do "font" and "haunt" not rhyme, or at least very very near rhyme?
-
*Ignoring those NA dialects where "font" rhymes with "haunt"** because let's face it, something's wrong with those people.
How do "font" and "haunt" not rhyme, or at least very very near rhyme?
"Haunt" is a lot longer than "font".
-
So are there any linguists here who would like to tag all jokes with the proper regional dialect tags from now on?
-

Also, they sound nothing like each other.
I went hunting for some examples on Youtube. The first video I tried opened "Today I'm going to talk about English pronounciation...".

Um, what? I have never heard anyone, from any country, rhyme those two words.
I can't follow that IPA notation.
How do you learn to pronounce foreign languages then?
Either by ear, or through familiarity with the particular pronunciation rules of those phonetic languages I am actually slightly familiar with (Italian, German, Japanese).
If I am reading an unfamiliar foreign language word from any other language, I would not presume to know how to pronounce it.
-
Uh, pretty sure that should be socially awesome penguin all the way down.
-
How I say them:
want = wɑnt
font = fɔnt
haunt = hɔnt
"font" and "haunt" rhyme; want does not rhyme with them.
Actually, to be perfectly accurate, those are usually glottal stops at the end of those, not alveolar.

To do it without IPA and have it make sense to all: for non-NA English "can't" rhymes with "font" (approximately).
Um, what? I have never heard anyone, from any country, rhyme those two words.
Yeah, I think I was unclear. There are several problems. First among them is that the lexeme [a] can represent fuckton* of different phonemes.
Second is the existence of the cot-caught merger (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phonological_history_of_English_low_back_vowels#Cot.E2.80.93caught_merger), which is pervasive, and grates on me every time I hear it, despite my wife having them completely merged.** And even that particular merger can be different before different consonants.
Third is the fact that the /æ/ sound is common in NA English, but not nearly as common in UK English. So for me (northern OH raised, so barely part of the Northern Cities Vowel Shift), I have the following:
"can't" /kæ(ə)nt/
"font" /fɑnt/ (rhymes with RP aunt, but no other English words ending in -nt rhyme... same sound as "cot" before the merger)
"want" /wɔnt/ (rhymes with haunt, gaunt)
*metric or imperial fuckton, your choice
**Funny story, for the first two years at her job, I thought her (then) supervisor, Don, was female, because she uses the /ɔ/ sound ("Dawn") for both, as does almost everyone in the US West and all of Canada.

Unmerged "cot" sounds like Bostonian for "cart" to me.

Very similar, yes. Boston is weird.

I guess I'm in a region where that cot-caught merger thing happened. "font" and "want" rhyme! Can somebody make a recording or something so I can learn how y'all are pronouncing it?

OKAY YOU GUYS I HAVE AN ACTUAL PHD IN DIALECTOLOGY
Here's the deal.
There's about seven different relevant word classes here. We can refer to them by keywords: TRAP, GLASS, START, FATHER, LOT, CLOTH, THOUGHT.
In any dialect, more or less all the words within a class have the same vowel. For example, trap, flat, cat, and alas are all in the TRAP class and all share the same vowel sound. (There are some exceptions—words that are in one class in some dialects and another class in other dialects—but those are the exception rather than the rule. For instance clerk is in the NURSE class in the US but the START class in England.) But between dialects, the same class might be pronounced differently. So those four words in the TRAP class all have the same vowel, but in California it's a vowel that's low in the mouth while in Chicago it's a vowel that's relatively high.
However, in any given dialect, it's possible for two or more different classes to have exactly the same sound (while those classes are different in other dialects). For instance, in Canada, LOT, THOUGHT, and CLOTH are all the same; in New York CLOTH and THOUGHT are the same but LOT is different, and in London LOT and CLOTH are the same but THOUGHT is different.
What this means is that questions like "Do you say 'faunt' or 'hont'?" are generally going to be meaningless to people. If they have the same vowel in font and haunt, it's (probably) because their LOT and THOUGHT vowels are the same. So asking a question that amounts to "Do you have font in THOUGHT or haunt in LOT?" is unanswerable, because they're both true.
Overall:
TRAP is usually low and front in the mouth. In US cities along the Great Lakes, like Buffalo, Detroit, and Chicago, it's often higher.
In most dialects TRAP and GLASS are the same. They're different in traditional New York, Philadelphia, and Boston dialects, as well as in southern England and closely related dialects such as Australia. There is a lot of variation in terms of which words are in the GLASS set. In New York and Philadelphia, GLASS is raised like TRAP is in Chicago.
In traditional Boston, southern England, and Australia, GLASS, FATHER, and START are the same. This vowel is low and central-frontish in Boston and Australia, low and back in England.
In the rest of North America (except maybe New York?), FATHER is the same as LOT. This vowel is low. In the Great Lakes cities, it's central-frontish like the FATHER vowel of Boston; elsewhere it's mostly relatively back. If it's merged with THOUGHT, it might be produced with the lips rounded (or might not).
In North America, CLOTH is mostly the same as THOUGHT. Elsewhere, it's mostly the same as LOT, except for maybe some old-fashioned English accents.
LOT and THOUGHT are the same in Canada, northern and eastern New England, western Pennsylvania, the western US, and probably Scotland, as well as an ever-expanding set of other places in the US. They're different in (for example) New York and Philadelphia, more traditional accents throughout the Midwest and South, and most places outside North America (except Scotland). When they're different, in the US LOT usually has the lips unrounded and THOUGHT usually has the lips rounded. In England, they're both rounded, but THOUGHT is higher in the mouth. THOUGHT is high in New York and Philadelphia as well (the stereotypical "coffee talk" vowel).
Font is LOT.
Can't is GLASS.- (Note that no dialects as far as I know have GLASS = LOT, so things like "for non-NA English 'can't' rhymes with 'font'" are misleading. What you're actually trying to say with this is that in e.g. southern England GLASS = FATHER, but you interpret this as meaning GLASS = LOT because for you FATHER = LOT. But this isn't true in England.)
Want is mostly LOT, but in some dialects it's STRUT.
Don is LOT.
Dawn is THOUGHT.
Cart is START.
Cot is LOT.
Caught is THOUGHT.
Haunt is THOUGHT as far as I know, but if someone wants to tell me it's CLOTH or LOT I'll believe them.
Aunt is mostly GLASS, but in some dialects it's TRAP.
Gaunt is THOUGHT.
Aren't is START.

Northern Ohio plus Oregon.
cant - like can and then there's a t
font - fahnt, like Fonzie but with a t
want - wunt, like one and then a t
haunt - hawnt, like Goldie Hawn and then a t
I know a linguistics professor and sometimes she points out how people aren't saying a word like they think. Like, you say hampster, not hamster. A "p" just shows up.

Can't is GLASS.
Brilliant explanation. Unfortunately "can't" seems to be one of those exceptions outside the south of England. It's either START or FATHER, which I can't distinguish.

I say "can-trip", but I still got the joke.
It's a stretch for me too, but you can slur anything if you go a little fast.
Be careful going fast; you might trip.
I was once in a band that we named Slow Children At Play, and our marketing materials had the street sign with the children icons on it. We had been rehearsing a few weeks when there was a disagreement about the name. Several of us thought it was read as:
Slow, Children at Play (as in "drive slower, there are kids around").
The others thought it was self-deprecating humor:
Slow Children, at Play.
We changed the name of the band.

Obviously I was interpreting this poorly. My bad!
Want is mostly LOT, but in some dialects it's STRUT.
Apparently I'm weird? For me, want goes with cloth and thought, but neither lot nor strut rhyme with those three.
(I'll admit to having several affectations in my speech. I pronounce "aunt" as if I were in Boston because I hate that it rhymes with "ant" in my dialect, and I use "y'all" all the time because dammit, English needs a second-person plural. But my pronunciation of "want" is definitely not an affectation.)

Yeah, that makes sense and I should have allowed for it. I myself have LOT=CLOTH=THOUGHT, so it's not that easy for me to keep track of words that vary from dialect to dialect with respect to which of these classes they're in.
(I'll admit to having several affectations in my speech. I pronounce "aunt" as if I were in Boston because I hate that it rhymes with "ant" in my dialect,

In my opinion, going from 4 player to 6 player Dominion doesn't really change all that much, provided you set up the game sensibly (avoid attacks that get stronger when stacked, preferably go for 12-14 kingdom piles to offer more diversity). I've played plenty of 6 player games this way and enjoyed most of them.
Splitting into two 3 player games is nice on paper, but in practice it's usually not ideal. 6 player Dominion is fine if it's the game I have with me at the time.

I'm complaining that "Explorer is the best $5" has nothing to do with this meme. First, it's obviously not Seprix' actual opinion. Second, it's arguably an opinion at all. You wouldn't say "2+2=Cheesecake" is an unpopular opinion just because it's a blatantly false statement.

Hrm, before switching into Software Engineering, I had to learn all about those engines in Mechanical Engineering thermodynamics courses. Engines were easier to understand than fridges for some reason, I think. Not particularly good memories.

Refrigerators are weird. I think I almost understood the idea once, but it was pretty flipping wierd. Like you squeeze 40-degree gas into 42-degree liquid, but then you take the pressure away and it evaporates into 35-degree gas or something, because that excess energy is all like, "we can't be this hot at this pressure if we haven't become a gas yet". Because reasons, I don't know.
Anyway, I ended up doing math because at least at that stage it was easier. The sort of clarity of definitions and domain-range input-output sorting-out on the theory side of math is sort of like basics of programming, from what little I know of that.

You squash it and the temperature rises, so heat flows out. You then let it return to its original size, but some heat has been lost so it's colder than when it started.

That was my brilliant plan. I waited until Obi-Wan got old so I would be taller than him, in order to have the high ground. He had no chance.

Star Wars: The Phantom Menace was the most disappointing thing since my son. I mean, how much more could you possibly fuck up the entire backstory to Star Wars? And while my son eventually hanged himself in the bathroom of a gas station, the unfortunate reality of the Star Wars prequels is that they'll be around. Forever. -Mr. Plinkett

Revenge of the Sith is a better movie than Return of the Jedi, so yes.
And Attack of the Clones has its moments, mostly involving Christopher Lee. The Phantom Menace lives down to its reputation though.

Episode I: Awful, only thing that saves the movie is the CGI Droids (which is still good by today's standards), and Darth Maul.
Episode 2: Arguably WORSE than Episode I, I don't like this movie much at all. Count Dooku is a terrible name, and I don't think even Christopher Lee can save his own role, it's just stupid.
Episode 3: Sure, this movie is better than the other two. But man, it still kinda sucks. The dialogue is awful, the lines are awful, it's boring. No way this movie is better than Return Of The Jedi, though RoTJ isn't amazing either.

I can see saying both are bad (Revenge of the Sith is certainly flawed), but Jedi is just not good. I don't have prequel denial as I'm not someone who grew up with Star Wars at all and don't have that strong an attachment to the franchise.

Well someone must have thought "They wasted a perfectly good plot" at least. Possibly they could have made that if they wanted to even without the movie so long as they had a script.
I never watched much of the animated series, but there were at least 2 animated series productions set around the Clone Wars in the timeline. One was a hand-drawn, more edgy mini-series I think. The other was some CGI episodic thing.
It'a always hard to watch something that has a forgone conclusion that makes the whole thing tragic, in this case the protagonist becoming Darth Vader later on.

They made the animated series because the Clone Wars is between Episode II and III and spanned many years. And wars are cool.

In Return of the Jedi, it's like all the characters suddenly contract a terminal case of idiotitis... and they weren't even particularly smart to begin with. Which is especially glaring when the protagonists survive encounter after encounter through the power of the plot. There's a bit of that in Phantom Menace too, but somehow it doesn't feel as insulting.

Sure, it's not what you might consider appropriate for romantic dialogue, but this is a fucked up kid we're talking about here. He doesn't know what he's doing. So instead he's talking about something else. He grew up on a desert planet. He was a slave on a desert planet. It makes perfect sense that he would hate sand and everything it stands for. He knows sand. So fuck sand.
Then the second half of the line gets kinda silly, but most of the hate is usually directed at the sand part.

For a very very long time I thought he was saying he didn't like *sound*, because it was coarse and irritating. Like, what's your problem, dude? Don't worry, soon you'll have no ears and will hear everything through a filter.

It's also, as mentioned, intentional. He's an angsty and overly-emotional teenager, and that property is actually paramount to the character; everything he says should be drivel.

Being lame isn't the same as being unlovable. The point to take is that Anakin has both merits and flaws, which is the underlying theme and continuous metaphor for the entire series. There are parts of him that are good and parts that are not good, and his downfall is forsaking the good and embracing the not good, which is a gradual fall from grace enabled by his overly emotional nature. His emotions are always in conflict, and he doesn't understand them. He doesn't really understand love or have a realistic expectation of what it might entail.

Being lame isn't the same as being unlovable. The point to take is that Anakin has both merits and flaws, which is the underlying theme and continuous metaphor for the entire series.

Anakin has no redeemable qualities. None.

It's bad because it's a terrible romantic pick-up. There are no excuses.
It's also, as mentioned, intentional. He's an angsty and overly-emotional teenager, and that property is actually paramount to the character; everything he says should be drivel.
How the heck did Padme fall for this guy?
That's the one thing they failed to address.
I think the point is she met him when he was young and innocent. He was a good kid, despite being on the annoying side.
Well, a better filmmaker might have made this more apparent, might have been able to make us really feel for Anakin and like him, making his journey to the dark side more of a crisis for us as viewers. Rather, we just had people talk about how good Anakin is. (Like, how his mother and Qui-Gon talked about him.)

Yeah, when his wife was dead and he was an OLD MAN. Who would even want to bang an old robot man with the blood of thousands of little kids all over him?

I'm pretty sure my meaning is obvious, so I won't bother to clarify.
The biggest issue with the prequels is that character development suffers. We have characters talking about the characteristics of other characters instead of those characteristics being evident through the actions and words of the characters themselves. We were told Han Solo was a scoundrel, but we already knew that, because from the way he talked and acted in his beginning scenes, along with a quick scene explaining some back story, you knew exactly the kind of person he was. You could also tell that he wasn't all bad. I don't have anything against Ewan McGregor (I like him, actually), but he didn't really portray his character in the way his character was described in the same way Harrison Ford did. (It's been a while since I watched, but as I recall we were told quite a bit about Obi-Wan being brash and emotional, but did he really leave us that impression? I mean some of the actions betrayed it, but did the acting really give us insight into his character?) A similar issue with Anakin. We were told more about how good he was rather than experiencing it. Though, I'm not sure what could be done there.. maybe just better dialogue, or better scene writing.

Wow, you guys sure hammered that guy.

From what i know about the meme, most of the time he comments on ridiculously un-dangerous things like putting Q-Tips in your ear even though it says not to do so on the box, or removing an USB stick without disconnecting it first. In the movie on the other hand, he does something that's not just dangerous but a forced loss. So i think the meme can be applied in a variety of ways.
By the way, i remember doing something like "I see you go for Rebuild on a Shelters board", which sparked a pretty similar discussion.
-
I think the meme is perfect because anything you do within a game like Dominion isn't going to be actually "dangerous". The worst that can happen is it can cost you the game. This is exactly how the phrase was used in the movie. It's not that there's only a slight chance of the choice backfiring; it's that it's not that big of a deal if it does backfire.

The point is that the meme is working as intended. "Ride the hippopotamus!" would be Insanity Wolf. I suppose non-lethal insanity such as "Open Scout/Pearl Diver!" would also count as Insanity Wolf.

See, the first 2 are a good example of fair bluffing in Dominion... but I'm pretty sure that I would call this one flat-out cheating. What cards someone just gained should be public knowledge, and if playing with Smugglers, then that question should have to be answered honestly. Otherwise Smugglers cannot be legally played correctly.

Sure, now all you want to do is play Smugglers correctly. But if we start answering questions honestly, where does it end? Full text logs? Deck trackers? Sometimes you have to draw a line in the sand.

I suppose you could say that once Smugglers has been played, then you have to honestly answer what cards your opponent gain, but if your opponent is asking before they played the Smugglers "what did you gain last turn," then you're not necessarily obligated to answer honestly or at all. I'm not advocating playing this way, you're being kind of a dick if you do, but I don't see why that would be illegal.

There is a big difference between the Smuggler and your decktracking examples! You don't NEED to know which cards you have in you draw pile or elsewhre, to play the game right and with correct rules. So there is no NEED to answer that questions.
But if you play a Smuggler and don't get a (correct) answer of which your opponent bought last turn, this is against the rules. Smuggler says you HAVE TO get that card, no matter if you want it, your opponent wants it or if someone answers a question (correctly).
So at least after playing the Smuggler it is the only way to play correctly. So in my opinion, you should say it before, even if it is no nessecary to play it correct, but it is a small step between asking and playing the Smuggler.

Well the thing is that playing most games IRL, including Dominion, relies upon open communication for the purposes of knowing the gamestate. Players shouldn't be required to carefully watch and track each movement that their opponents make; this would slow games down greatly. Instead, I expect to be able to use communication to find out what my opponent just did.
Like, if he buys a Death Cart, I'd much rather he just honestly answer "which ruins did you get" (if I care to know) than to take the time to grab one, wait until everyone who cares has had a chance to remember what's there, then grab the next. Or in this or any other game, if I want to know how many cards someone has in his hand, I'd rather be able to ask and get an honest answer than to be expected to take the time to make sure he's holding them in such a way that doesn't hide the number, then count them myself. To be more general, IRL gaming is a mostly social experience; people may be chatting about stuff while waiting for a player to take his turn. If he uses his buy while an opponent happened to not be paying attention, then he should be required to tell people what he bought. Perhaps a tournament setting would be different.

I mean, i can keep in mind that the best card i can smuggle was a Lab, but how many Spoils my opponent marauded, how many Silvers he hunted, how many Coppers and Golds are in his Treasure Trove and how many Farmlands he remodelled into Provinces? For a card i mostly play so
Warrior the worst card ever can't trash it? Mandatorily...? It's almost as if the Page line wasn't bad enough allready.

I think you can Smuggle a Graverobbed card.
"Gain" meens "take from the Supply". If your opponent gained a card, which is not in the Supply, Smuggler can't gain it, because it doesn't say "from the [non-Supply]-pile".
A Graverobbed card is gained from the trash, so it is gained. And as there is a Supply-pile, where Smuggler finds this card, he should gain it too.
Treasure Hunter is only counting tha cards, your opponent gained, so there is no problem, such as with Smuggler.

Rules question: If i unintentionally Golem my Smugglers after my opponent played Marauder and bought a Curse, can i try to gain a Spoils and fail? I assume the answer is yes.
Edit: According to the Wiki, you can choose to gain a card even though it is from an empty pile. So probably this should work, too...? It's also interesting to note that Workshop doesn't let you choose an empty pile.

Of course you can... Smugglers tells you to gain a copy of a card that your opponent gained... a Graverobbed card is in every way a card that your opponent gained, and if it's a Supply card, then there's no trouble gaining a copy of it.

This one is tricky. I remember the discussion where Donald clarified that you can choose an empty pile for Smugglers but not for Workshop. It's because with Smugglers, the instruction is basically "choose any card your opponent gained last turn. Gain a copy of the chosen card." With Workshop, the instruction is basically "choose a non-empty Supply pile where the card on top costs up to $4. Gain the top card of that pile."
I'm inclined to agree with you; you could choose a non-supply card and fail to gain it. Not sure though.

Workshop in fact is "choose a physical card visible in the supply costing up to $4." You do not choose a pile or check a pile for emptiness.
Smugglers meanwhile starts with choosing a card the player to your right gained.

So I'm pretty sure you screwed up here. Towards the end, on one turn you had Remodel, Horse Traders, a couple Provinces, and some money in hand. You remodeled a Silver into a Duchy, then bought a Province. Instead, you could have played Horse Traders, discarded the Provinces, and had $13 and 2 buys, to buy a Province and a Duchy. Same result except you have 1 more Silver in your deck, which you really could have used in the turns after that.
That, and I'm not sure your opening was optimal.

Playing remodel is strictly better than playing horse traders because, as has been discussed in the past, horse traders is a boring card.

haha, nope
also spent maybe 3 minutes arguing with self about how to play your board. i think opening ambassador/potion, picking up saboteurs if opponent tries speed strategies with wharf and just trying to be smarter if opponent mirrors (what else can you do)?

I only did because of the comment on the other thread about replacing Urchin with Urchins; made me double-check. Is there a reason that you changed that one (and not any other ones)?

Because from an Otter's point of view, they are a feast. He probably just didn't have ideas for changing the mechanics of the others.

No ideas worth the extra effort, at least.

I think each instance of the word "Action" should be replaced with "Otter" (on all the Otter cards, I mean).

Inheritance
We start out with what is probably one of the strongest Scout combos. If you use Inheritance to transform your Estates into useful actions, then Scout actually picks up the good stuff. For maximum effect you want the inherited card to be nonterminal, so that you can really load up on them.
The problem with the combo is that you need to spike $7, and picking up a Scout will certainly not help you do that. So don't pick up Scout before you inherit. But after the Inheritance, inherited Estates themselves compete with Scout for the buy. You should always carefully evaluate whether another Estate is not better for your deck than the Scout.
Answer is obvious: Inherit your Scouts.
(https://i.imgflip.com/txmpv.jpg) (https://imgflip.com/i/txmpv)
Note1: You put estate in your scout because nobody would ruin a perfectly good estate by adding scout to it.
Note2: Enjoy the joys of auto-moderation! ;)

I thought about it and decided it was implied. Probably works better in german, where the word for gain can also mean "accept" (like "take" would).
Also, this is everybody's chance to post that Holy Grail scene. Sure to get a +1 or two. Be quick!

I found this anomaly in a comic today, and it immediately reminded me of Council Room. It seems that council rooms are the precursors to board rooms, and the depiction on Council Room is accurate, as all council and board rooms are dadaist shrines.
(http://i1314.photobucket.com/albums/t566/Adam_Yoshi/New%20Bitmap%20Image_zpsgriigzlm.png)
The shadow person is facing the direction of the red arrow in panel 2, so he is either moonwalking through the room (and somehow doesn't crash into the gay black guy who is switching spots) or all sense of perspective, direction, location and shadows don't exist in art about board rooms. Maybe this is a moral to artists to spend more times in council or board meetings and not so much time with that creativity stuff.
-
Wow in that first panel the bottom part of the table makes it look like one of those Japanese sit-on-your-knees dining tables.

Maybe this is a moral to artists to spend more times in council or board meetings and not so much time with that creativity stuff.
The main anomaly is that their seating arrangement is all screwed up in the last panel. The perspective is probably meant to be from the far end of the table (top left in panel 1), so the last panel should have the two men on the right and the three others on the left. The black man is in the foreground, which is correct, but the order is incorrect for the three on the other side of the table (the woman should be background and the grey-haired man should be foreground).
The perspective in the second panel is also strange, as if the new guy seems to be approaching from an altogether different direction.

It is definitely below Davis' knee level but high at the woman's corner. Maybe it only has 3 legs.
As to the far end of the table theory - both sides of the table now have to switch. All the people on the left should be on the right.
The shadow work in panel 1 is killing me, as is the reflectivity in panel 2. Googling reflective blue table doesn't turn up anything so I really can't parse it into reality. I guess nobody fed the blue table yet but they tried walking it so it lost its leg.
-

Yes. That's the first thing I said. :P No matter how you look at it, the seating in the bottom panel is wrong.

There's the artist not paying attention, and then there's the posted comic excerpt. It would have to be the artist not caring at all or wanting to torture those with attention to detail.

The joke is not only that he has 55 points, he also has 5 of the point cards each!

I thought the joke was that Spy got emptied. That has to be more uncommon than 55 points and 5 of each VP card.

There's a recommended set that sets it up, though of course you have to notice it and then Pathfinding isn't cheap. I've done it there (and won), it's pretty sweet. Ruined Market is great for helping you buy more of the Ruins, although of course Ruined Library is the star. You can instead go for putting the tokens on Rats, also good times.

A lot of things about Alms have been mentioned, but here are a few more people haven't mentioned:
Playing Storeroom gives you optional sifting and two $4 cards.
It hard counters Swamp Hag, especially in a non-engine deck.
If you have a hand of like 2 Platinum or something amazing with no +buy, Alms can sort of counter Haunted Woods. Free topdecking!
It also synergizes with Scout because if you have Scouts in your deck, you will probably have a hard time hitting $4 otherwise.

Edge-case: I need the extra buy for my three-pile ending
Hardly even an edge case. With everything costing $2 less, is it that hard to imagine wanting an additional buy? If you're about to end the game, that means you can get a free Estate on top of everything else. It's even easier to imagine the play happening even more often if you had a lot of drawing but no other +buy in the game.
-
I've gotten Princess before where the cost reduction didn't even matter, it was only good because it was the only +buy on the board.

I get how you can play Royal Seal and then Armory, but how can you gain stuff with armory after buying travelling fair?
You're right. I guess there's no edge case for this one.

For Windfall to be totally dead, you also have to have no way to trash Treasures. Trashing non-Treasures is OK because you'll still be stuck with 7 Copper.

You do not fail to discard a Prince of Gear if you never set a cad aside when playing Gear because the Gear has nothing to do for next turn in that case. Same story as when you play Tactician with no other cards in hand.

Wow, I never noticed that Gear had a "may" in it before. It's good even if you always set aside two. So good that I didn't notice the "may".

Yeah. Terminal draw for Prince is nice and all; but there's plenty of better targets than Moat/Gear.

It doesn't have a may. It has an "up to 2"; and thus you can also select 0 cards.

Prince of stewards is cool. Prince of necropolis was awesole in a game with no villages and a bunch of great terminals.
-
I played a game recently where Princing a Chapel would have been decent. Just to remove the Chapel from your deck, that is. There were slightly better options available though, and both players always connected the Princes with the better options so it didn't happen, but I actually think it would have been better to Prince a Chapel over not playing the Prince that shuffle, had it come down to that.

I bought it (two of them, even). It was pretty much like an expensive Lab and an expensive Lab was a fine purchase for $8 at that point in the game since I was ahead and there was no other draw.

No, you're not prevented from buying a card with debt on it. The debt can slow you down, but it can't lock you out. The player who is ahead will hinder themselves more than others if they start Taxing everything.

But it slows you down. For the sake of argument, let's assume Chapel and Donate are available.
Player 1 Donates in turn 1. In turn 2 he pays off $5 in debt, in turn 3 another $3 and a Chapel, in turn 4 buys sth for $5. So player 1 is left with 5 copper, a $5 card after turn 4.
Payer 2 buys a Chapel in turn 1, some $4 (or $5 card if lucky) in turn 2, trashes 4 cards in turn 3 and buys (possible) a Silver in turn 4. Player 2 has two Estates, the Chapel, some $4 card, a Silver and four Copper. (This would be with average luck, could turn out more beneficially or worse.)
So Player 1 has a leaner hand now, but still five Coppers, while Player 2 has two more cards to trash but an additional Silver, and a $4 to Player 1's $5 card. (Player 1 could decline the Chapel, but would be left without a plan to trash the Coppers.) I'd maybe open Chapel over Donate if there is a strong $4 card on the board and $5 cards are less than convincing, and seriously consider opening Chapel on a 5/2.

Exactly. The card is not busted. Edge cases aside, the event is balanced equally between all players. Everyone has equal access to the event and, with it costing debt, each player can buy the event at any time without worrying about opening splits.
Of course everyone is going to adjust their strategy in those limited games where Donate is in the kingdom, but isn't that the point of the game?

I was being sarcastic. My intuition is that Chapel is still usually better than Donate.
-
Donate kills Cursing attacks/Looters, too. In a game with no other trashing, I'll take a turn buying Donate to clear my entire deck of that 8/2 Curse split I lost, and lose little time for it. Donate is going to change a lot of things, and make even mighty Mountebank weaker.

If you open double silver and get donate turn three you can have a deck of two silvers and pay it off by turn 5 at the latest(you can pay off debt on the turn you buy it.

Donate should be better than chapel for almost all purposes:
Get three silvers in the first three turns (that's nearly worst-case, you probably get a nice terminal action and two silvers). Turn four get donate and trash 10 starting cards, paying off ~4. Turn 5 you payoff the remaining debts and have ~2 coins remaining with a deck of 3 silver or better. You might even be better off to not use donate until the third shuffle.
Chapel usually has ~3 silvers and four cards trashed by turn 5.
By silvers I mean whatever ~3-4 costs you want in the kingdom.

I hadn't thought about this! I brought up the same thing in regards to Royal Blacksmith, but ended up being mistaken. But Donate really does do it. Of course, with Donate, at least you can choose to keep your 3 Estates, so that you still have a positive score at the end.

Well, technically deadlock generally describes a situation where A is blocked by B and B is blocked by A. This is more of a A and B are both blocked by C (Debt) situation.

Lots of interesting interactions here. There's no strong trashing, but Fountain is an incentive to keeping your Copper anyway, and you'll want to gain 3 more. There's an easy way to do that with IGG. With all that Copper in your deck, Apottercary+Cottersmith can be huge, and it could be even bigger if you manage to get at Fortune. Before then, Woodcotter is there for you with +Buy.
With all that Copper floating around, you may find success with a Chariotter Race, especially if you use Graverotter to topdeck something... like maybe some self-trashed Gladiotters? Graverotter may also find good stuff to pull thanks to Transmotterfy, which may be generally helpful in providing you niche cards like Otterpost on the turns you want them. And then there's City Quotter... it's potentially huge draw, but can you fit it into your deck? It's the only +actions on the board, so you'll need it if you're going to play multiple Cottersmiths in one turn.
Finally, here's a bonus:

It's one of my favourites in terms of matching the photo to the original card, but I think swapping it in for any of the others makes for a less interesting kingdom.

So, what happens if every player Donates their deck? Does the game ever end?
I think this calls for a simulation.

I know it's an official card, but it doesn't sound like a very strong $5 to me at all. A handsize-neutral Warehouse? $5, really? I mean, a lot of the time Warehouse is good, but a lot of the time discarding 3 cards isn't even a big deal... I mean, maybe you have $10 out of the blue on a turn when you don't really want Provinces just yet, so you get this along with some other $5 card that you actually wanted...

It's pretty comparable to Cartographer. You get less cycling, but you get to improve your hand instead of your deck.

Any time the composition of your hand matters, Forum is fantastic.
Think Crossroads, City Quarter, Menagerie, Throne Room, Crown...
Not discarding that third card is really great. It's a $5 that doesn't cost a Buy, and sometimes that makes it really nice.

Forum is a bit like playing a combined Lab + Warehouse. Not exactly, the selection you get from it is slightly weaker, but overall it's reasonably similar. I would say it sounds like a decent $5 card. How strong remains to be seen, I think it's maybe around 30-40% of the way through the list (with 0 being the top card and 1 being bottom)? That would be my guess anyway.
-
Yo dawg, I heard you liked fora, so I posted Forum on your forum so you can have a forum about Forum.

I'd still like to reiterate, since it seems the point has gotten lost, that a Counting House (NOT PRINCED) in a Royal Blacksmith engine would be preeeety nice.

I don't get it even with the explanation.... is it just that a player can forget to exchange his Page when discarding?

Exactly. Patrician is announcing the arrival of Page back into your hand, which is the point you realize you forgot to Exchange on your last shuffle.
-
I thought Page was drawn dead.
-
I thought it was a sad and frustrated Page who reached the dead end of their career as an insignificant assistant to the Warriors, even though they would do a great job at hunting after tremendously precious treasures if they only got a chance by their master. (Their self-worth would go up, too!)

There are many reasons you might see the Page you bought for a second time, but this was posted under the premise of "Bad News Patrician", and seeing a Page you intentionally did not Exchange, or were unable to Exchange doesn't really seem to qualify as "bad news".

I'm not nitpicking the joke... I got the joke.
I am nitpicking the people suggesting reasons you would keep your Page on purpose, which would make that Page being back not news to you.

This is probably dumb, but it's not clear to me from the wording what happens if you have, say, 10 A, 10 B, 9 C, where A, B, and C are all Action cards. Presumably the 'tie' refers to tie for 2nd, so it sounds like A and B would not count.
Edit: Come to think of it, it's not clear to me what happens when you have a deck consisting only of 10 A, 10 B, where A and B are both Actions. Are the both the first and second most common Action, or only the first?

Edit: Come to think of it, it's not clear to me what happens when you have a deck consisting only of 10 A, 10 B, where A and B are both Actions. Are the both the first and second most common Action, or only the first?
No, "tie" refers to tie in general, not only tie for second. Put it this way... list out all card names in your deck in order of most to least. When there's a tie, put whichever one first; makes no difference. Now look at the second card on the list. That's the one you count.
So If you have 10 A, 10 B, and 9 C; you get 30 points. If you have 10 A and 10 B, you get 30 points. If you have 10 A and nothing else, you get 0 points.
One last way of thinking about it; you can't ever lower your Arch score by gaining any given card. So if you have 10 A, 9 B, and 8 C of cards, buying a single B isn't going to change your C from being third-most to second-most.

"It" refers to "second most". In the Olympics, if A and B have the same long jump, then C, D, and E can tie for Bronze, meaning there is no tie for Silver, and there is no Silver. If A > B = C > D, then there are two Silver medals and there is no Bronze. You could also argue in the first case that C, D, and E tied for second.
In this context, though, either of these would be really stupid, because Triumphal Arch should never punish you for gaining more copies of a card. Going from n to n+1 copies of B shouldn't penalize you into settling for either 0 or however many copies of C/D/E you have. In my mind, the wording is ambiguous, but among logically sound readings, only one of them is monotonically increasing and therefore satisfactory.
Then again, I don't think Storyteller should ever play a Treasure as a Throne Room, so I don't trust my intuitions about design to be followed anymore.

No, "tie" refers to tie in general, not only tie for second. Put it this way... list out all card names in your deck in order of most to least. When there's a tie, put whichever one first; makes no difference. Now look at the second card on the list. That's the one you count.
So If you have 10 A, 10 B, and 9 C; you get 30 points. If you have 10 A and 10 B, you get 30 points. If you have 10 A and nothing else, you get 0 points.
One last way of thinking about it; you can't ever lower your Arch score by gaining any given card. So if you have 10 A, 9 B, and 8 C of cards, buying a single B isn't going to change your C from being third-most to second-most.
"It" refers to "second most". In the Olympics, if A and B have the same long jump, then C, D, and E can tie for Bronze, meaning there is no tie for Silver, and there is no Silver. If A > B = C > D, then there are two Silver medals and there is no Bronze. You could also argue in the first case that C, D, and E tied for second.
In this context, though, either of these would be really stupid, because Triumphal Arch should should never punish you for gaining more copies of a card. Going from n to n+1 copies of B shouldn't penalize you into settling for either 0 or however many copies of C/D/E you have. In my mind, the wording is ambiguous, but among logically sound readings, only one of them is monotonically increasing and therefore satisfactory.
Right. There are a couple games which do ties differently, but usually, if there are 2 players who did better than you then you are third, whether those 2 players are the same as each other or not. Between 2 Cities does it the other way; if there is a tie for most factories, then those cities are both "first", and the next highest city gets second. But that's not a very common way of doing ties.

Neither of them is what TA does, but it's not a medal ceremony. They both work for what they do for different reasons. Here, it's more like, "list your differently-named action cards you have in decreasing order of how many copies you have of each, resolving ties however you choose. Gain 3VP for each copy you have of the second card on your list."
This would presumably be how Golden Arches would work if it granted, say, 4VP for each copy of your 3rd-most-common Action.

I've always felt that Butcher and Stonemason should have switched names.
A stonemason generates value by making a large thing (building|better card) out of smaller things (useless cards|coin tokens), and the larger thing is worth more than the sum of its parts. That's what the card Butcher does.
A butcher generates value by making small things (cuts of meat|several cards) out of a larger thing (animal carcass|card you don't want), and the separated things are more valuable than the original thing. That's what the card Stonemason does.

And don't even get me started on Farming Village and Fishing Village.
One gives you a stronger bonus in a short while, while the other one fishes for good cards. Guess which is which.

I mean... while I see the similarity, you make it sound like it's clearly better, but there's 2 huge advantages that Distant Lands has:
1) You only have to play it once instead of 5 times.
2) You definitely get the points if you play it once. With Farmers' Market, you could play it 5 times and still get no points at all, if your opponent played it after your fourth play.

The meme implies that Marauder is in the setup, which means ruins have been being distributed. Presumably your opponent also bought a Marauder or three so you probably have Ruins.
Inn has a feature that allows you to shuffle action cards from your discard pile into your deck, but if you choose to shuffle all of those actions into your deck, you might shuffle ruins into your deck! That would be quite the conundrum!

Yeah, as I was typing my never-posted request for an explanation, my thought process was:
"Hmm, well I know you don't always want to shuffle in every action, but you usually would. Even terminals, as you'll at least have the Inn for a Village. The only time I guess you wouldn't want your actions is if they are ruins, but that assumes that ruins are even in the game. Hmm, I wonder why it specifies Marauders instead of any other action? Does it have something to do with the rui- OH!"

I thought it was because you'd get your Marauders - but it would take longer to get the accompanying Spoils into your hand since you filled up the drawdeck instead of shuffling. So you could generate more Spoils, but never get around to using them.

That could be a possible drawback (especially near the end of the game), but not as obviously bad as shuffling half a dozen Ruins into your deck. As the author of the meme, I can confidently assert that the joke was intended as a statement about mindlessly clicking a button which would shuffle Ruins into your deck in a way that you definitely would not do with physical cards with conspicuous brown borders in real life.

It's questionable whether you'd want an Inn over a Duchy that late in the game, though. But I play things wrong a lot, so idk.

If you have a decent engine in your deck; and your draw pile is almost empty; then getting an Inn should allow you to set up your next turn to get far more than a Duchy. Assuming that you aren't looking at the last turn of the game already.

Ok, so maybe you can draw your whole deck and you already have $24 and +2 Buys and you don't need more Spoils or Marauders gumming things up beyond the $24 you already have in your deck. It's still not the most clear-cut joke or the scenario I had in mind. If Spoils were the main problem, I could have made the joke about Bandit Camp.

Oh I wasn't responding to the joke at that point; I was responding to the question of when you should buy an Inn over a Duchy in the late game.

So often the optimal number of Heroes you want to get is 1 which you exchange into a Champion and you want to keep the Warriors for the draw. This means the right thing to sing when MFs Exchange Screen pops up is: "We don't need another Hero."

Enrique Iglesias, Skillet and Family of the Year all seem to disagree.
edit: although FotY kinda agrees if you listen to the lyrics.

Oh god, there's a whole thread for this?
(Also, even if you get one after exchanging the first, it's still pretty rare that you simply want as many as possible, and "another" doesn't have to imply that you have - or have only ever had - exactly one. You likely will sing this song in any sufficiently long Page game.)

He's not trying to decide whether or not to discard 2 cards... he's trying to figure out HOW he can discard 2 cards when he has 0 cards in hand, because you played a 6th Vault on the turn.

It's somewhat inaccurate though, because Patrol is actually equivalent to playing a Hunting Grounds and a Scout, not a Smithy and a Scout.

But you can't exactly play Hunting Grounds and then Scout with one action, either. So it's more like Village-Hunting Grounds-Scout-Ruined Library.

Yes, it's easily confused with the flags of Guernsey, Alderney, and Northern Ireland, all of whom have at one point had native languages other than English.

You could do a complete Disney retheme. So if Mickey Mouse is Smithy, Uncle Scrooge is Mine... With Seaside we get more exotic, with The Little Mermaid's Ursula topdecking Curses and Barbossa's Ghost Ship.
As far as I know, Donald already turned an offer for Star Wars Dominion down, by the way. So no joining Lord Vaders Hunting Party or trashing Yoda's filthy swamp Hovel after buying a VP card.

The Little Mermaid
I thought it was a Disney retheme, not a H. C. Andersen retheme. The latter would, admittedly, be significantly more interesting though.

Warrior = "Reluctant Fighter" makes sense to you? To me, Warrior is one of the most annoying, spammable and frustrating attacks in the game. I'd hardly call it "reluctant".
-
Warrior's attack is almost irrelevant since everyone goes for a Champion as soon as possible. That card is mostly only useful for the draw.

Warrior trashing Warrior has happened in my first ever Page game when Adventures came out on MF online, in my first ever IRL Page game and in many other Page games I've played. Never stops sucking.

The threat of your Warrior being trashes by Warrior makes it almost necessary to get a second Page early on.

I would never leave it at one Page. I always only upgrade one of my Warriors and leave the rest as Pages, though. That way, I get a very easy to play chain that ends up revealing a bunch of cards. Also, Pages can't get trashed by Warriors. IF I manage to trahs my opponent's Warrior, this chain makes it a lot harder for them to get beyond Treasure Hunter. Gotta kill those rebels before they can become a threat, you know.

You actually had that happen every single time and got so traumatized that you decided to take some drug from the future, in an attempt to wipe your memory clean. The 7% are lasting damage that couldn't be removed.

I would expect a deck size of 20, at the absolute upper limit, when warrior first gets played in a game. That's being very generous.
In which case there's roughly a 1/20 chance of it happening in any given game, even if warrior only reveals one card. (This assuming both players have got to their warrior at similar times, which is likely.)
1/20 is not "incredibly rare" by any stretch of the imagination.

It is incredibly rare. You shouldn't really take 1/20 chances into account when making decisions unless it costs literally nothing to do so or you're already way ahead in the game. By pretending that Warrior never hits Warrior, you might lose perhaps one in 300 games you play because of that, which is minuscule compared with the total advantage you get in the rest of those games.

If only there were some way (http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=1204.msg678956#msg678956) to quantify the actual probability, then we wouldn't have to rely on such qualitative descriptions as 'incredibly rare'.

Not on a small scale. But on a larger-scale discussion, you absolutely should take that into account. Say you're planning to go fight a dragon with a 5-player team. In your planning, you presumably have some idea of roughly how much damage your group can deal per round, on average.
And that average ABSOLUTELY includes the likelihood that you're going to roll one or two crit fails/successes. You'd instinctively take that into account.
A similar principle applies here. "On average I'll do a little bit of damage to my opponent's deck with my Warrior - that average amount is increased somewhat by the possibility that I hit my opponent's Warrior."
The upside is so huge here that the overall "average damage" (as it were) is probably dragged up noticeably even if the likelihood of the event is small.
-
In other words, E[X] = sum_x(x*P(X=x)).
P(X=x) can be very small, but x can be large enough (or can not be) to overcome that.

But this is a small scale. You have one chance of hitting something with Warrior before you want to turn it into a Hero, and in 90-93% of cases, it doesn't hit your opponent's Warrior. So if your opponent willingly gave himself a small disadvantage in order to prepare for his Warrior getting hit, 90-93% of the time he just has the small disadvantage and that's all it did for him (and probably around 7-10% of the time he still loses because he's still one shuffle behind you even if he has a backup Page going on). Obviously if you want the second Page for other reasons, you want it anyway so yeah.
If I was teaching Dominion to sentient computers, I would mention that when the disadvantage from getting a second Page instead of something else is almost negligible, as well as when you're already so much ahead that your opponent's only chance of winning is pretty much to hope for that small chance of hitting your Warrior, you might still want a second Page just in case your Warrior gets trashed. Unfortunately, we are humans and humans are garbage at estimating any probabilities so it's better to forget about these edge cases when you're actually playing the game.
-
In other words, E[X] = sum_x(x*P(X=x)).
P(X=x) can be very small, but x can be large enough (or can not be) to overcome that.
But if we're talking about a game of Dominion, x has to be between 0 and 1 (assuming it indicates winning probability). Such an x is only ever large if your overall winrate is pretty low otherwise.

I wasn't really arguing that getting a second page just to defend against a warrior hit is automatically a good idea.
It's more that I object to your arguing style. But this is not news.
Hooray, pedantry!

It think in theory, you want to do a min-max on the probability of winning. I think it's called min-max? You want a strategy that has the highest probability of winning against the best possible strategy that may be played against it. In theory, you would need to search a tree of all possible Dominion games for the given kingdom, but that's computionally freaking impossible, obviously. So instead you try to figure out something good enough and take heuristic shortcuts to whatever you can manage, and then you lose against Lord Rattington sometimes and omg I want die.
-
How likely am I to lose if I don't get another Page (perhaps because the Warrior died lolol)?
vs
How likely am I to lose if I do get another Page (perhaps because of too much Silver or terminal collisions or whatever)?
It's complicated, because we have to assume that you're doing everything else 100% perfect like a god except for that one decision.
This has been a(n - I think -) technically correct but 100% useless and impractical answer. Good day.

Technically, Rats with Training would reproduce, so I stretched it a little. In my mind, I justified it as "a trained Rat is just one Rat with no partner, or maybe it got neutered". And it also loses the on-trash ability, but gains the ability to trash copies of itself.
I'm kind of surprised I got 3 upvotes before getting any nitpicks, honestly. I guess visualizing the situation is fun and there's a point where "I'll allow it" takes over.

I can't remember how long ago that I was paying attention to it, but I remember being #1 while Theory was #2.
My memory was wrong it seems. Wero has started 94 topics since the start of 2016, while I've started 60. So even at that time, he would have been ahead of me. I must have just remembered being second.
*Edit* OK, I was #1 at the start of 2013. That's when Wero started making a bunch more topics it seems. 1 year, 5 years, same thing basically.

I would have made it vertical, but this way was more space efficient. Also, there are 12 boons, and dividing by 3 gives you 4, so I wanted four parts.

That sums up pretty a lot of the Pokemon evolutions, especially starter Pokemon (i.e. the ones you can choose when you start the game). The base form is quite cute, and then it grows up into something that I guess is meant to look badass.
And yes, it does go top left (Bulbasaur), top right (Ivysaur), bottom left (Venusaur), bottom right (Mega Venusaur). Which threw me, because I tend to assume that for things organised by quadrants you read them either clockwise or counterclockwise.

I think that in later generations they have tried to make evolved starters more and more human-animal hybrids, for some reason. Which generally makes for awful pokemon.
I think the worst offender was blaziken. If the idea was to make a giant rooster of fire, they missed big time.
I actually sort of like Greninja.

More likely, it's a draw engine with exactly $8 and no +buy that hasn't greened yet. Your trasher could still be in your hand and you'd still be down to $6 after discarding if you played Idol first, which you probably shouldn't.

Before I opened this thread the view count was 959656 which is some kind of mirror image palindrome thingy.
You ruined it!

Actually, for non-mathematicians, it's an ambigram, assuming you are using a font where "5" looks the same when you rotate it.

I can try to reproduce it sometime, but that's not what happened. Also, there are two bots.
It looks like when you call a Duplicate after a Duplicate, it splits the timeline and the original timeline doesn't know that you called the second Duplicate yet. I think that's what happened. I could try to call more than 10 sometime, but I don't know if the bots will wait that long unless I add Counterfeit to the kingdom just so they waste time being stupid.

I've done that before... well not to that degree. But I remember a game when I was winning by a lot (maybe I even already had more than 50% of total points); and I trashed I think 2 Provinces to help myself keep going and end the game. Not saying it was the right move; this way way long ago.
Of course, it would be the right move if, even after trashing the Provience(s), you still have more than 50% of the possible available VP.

At the point where you have already achieved victory, nothing is "wrong" or "right" from a strategic perspective...short of throwing the game.
After the win, the rest is meaningless fluff.

Did any of you guys watch game four of the man versus computer match of Go between AlphaGo and Lee Sedol?
It was the only game that Lee won.
Lee found a winning line that the computer did not sufficiently explore because the pattern recognition part of the program predicted only 3 of 10,000 pro players would play that move, and it invested it's computational resources on more probable lines. Lee took a small but unassailable edge in the game. What did the computer do in response?
Well, a human would have played the strongest go they knew to try to thin the margin, or they would have resigned.
AlphaGo's prime directive is to WIN. so it would not passively play to a narrow loss. So it only played moved that were possible winning, even though the only way for them to be possibly winning was if Lee failed to play the obvious counters to each attack, that even I could have played reflexively without thinking.
AlphaGo flailed around the board until it finally resigned the trash heap mess it had made of the endgame.
Was AlphaGo wrong? No. There was no right or wrong. The game was over.
In all four of the other games, AlphaGo took a lead with strong play. The endgames looked very funny, because AlphaGo stopped playing the strongest moves, and just played the very first move it found that guaranteed a win. It played slack and weak moves that were painful to watch. In game 3, the English language commentator said something like "AlphaGo must think it is winning, because that move makes it's position worse." And it was true; it just defended a thin lead until Lee resigned.
Was AlphaGo wrong to play such weak moves? No. There was no right or wrong. The game was over.
-
Of course, it would be the right move if, even after trashing the Provience(s), you still have more than 50% of the possible available VP.
At the point where you have already achieved victory, nothing is "wrong" or "right" from a strategic perspective...short of throwing the game.
For a time when it would actually improve your chances of winning, what if your opponent was going for a Copper-gainer+Tower deck, so that he had no chance to compete on Province VP and it was down to a race to see if you could empty the Provinces before he could empty the Coppers and claim the Tower VP (especially if you don't have a strong enough deck to handle greening and there aren't cards to allow a fast three-pile)?
Really, trying to race against any strategy that heavily backloads its VP would probably qualify in at least some circumstances.
-
For the record, there was a game I played against Elanchana a long time ago in which I was super ahead (IIRC I had a lead of 3 or 4 Provinces), and I decided to trash two Provinces to get a Mercenary attack and a decent turn instead of a completely useless turn. That decision was wrong and I ultimately lost.
So yeah. Don't trash Provinces unless it guarantees the win.

Winning with style > winning

[et cetera for the rest of base game, and more expansions in subsequent posts]
Wow, impressive, much thumbs up.
Magic: The Gathering card frame (from some particular expansion), colorless mana symbol, Star Wars pictures, yes? Or is there a Star Wars-themed game made by Wizards of the Coast that I'm not aware of, that uses a very Magic-like card frame? :o
Although the pictures and card frames are all pretty, I'd never want to play that game. Something about it is... not right.
If I wasn't such a lazy git I might do some myself, but they'd go like this:
Smugglers
[normal dominion frame, same text, same layout, only change the artwork to a picture of Han Solo]
Princess
[picture of Leia]
Throne Room
[award ceremony on Yavin IV at the end of A New Hope—the music in that scene is named 'Throne Room']
Hermit
[picture of Yoda on Dagobah]
Madman
[Yoda whacking R2-D2 with a stick]
Hovel
[Yoda's dwelling]
Disciple
[picture of Luke Skywalker]
Teacher
[Obi-wan Kenobi]
Haggler
[Mos Eisley cantina, Luke and Obi-wan haggling with Han Solo]
Farmland
[the moisture farm]
Urchin
[Luke returning to the ravaged moisture farm]
Chancellor
[Palpatine]
Vassal
[Tarkin]
Bureaucrat
["It's an older code... but correct"]
Ambassador
[Vader, "if this is the consular ship, where is the ambassador :o?"]
Militia
[Stormtroopers]
Fortress
[Death Star]
Rebuild
[second Death Star]
Workshop
[Scene where Luke "repairs" R2-D2 and sees Leia for the first time]
Secret Passage
[Scene where Luke and Obi-Wan pop out of the floor storage rooms aboard the Millenium Falcon]
Ghost Ship
[Scene where the Millenium Falcon returns out of the blue in RotJ]
Treasure Hunter
[Boba Fett]
Hero
[aboard X-wing in ANH, "Use the force, Luke"]
Torturer
["Now we will discuss the location of the hidden rebel base"]
Harem
[Leia at Jabba the Hutt's palace]
Native Village
[Ewok camp]
Secret Chamber
[Trash compactor]
Treasure Map
["Many Bothans died to bring us this information", map of the Death Star]
Golem
[C3PO]
Fortune Teller
["You... will be."]
Masquerade
[Luke unmasking himself in the cave on Dagobah]
Upgrade
["I've made some special modifications"]
Hunting Party
[Darth Vader's TIE fighter with two wing men during the attack run in ANH]
Nomad Camp
[The rebel base on Hoth]
Navigator
["who's gonna' fly it kid—you!?"]
Inn
[Mos Eisley cantina]
Mercenary
["Take care of yourself, Han. I guess that's what you're best at."]
Junk Dealer
[Owen and Luke buying R2-D2 and C-3PO]
Distant Lands
[Dantooine being blown up]
Sacrifice
[Burning of the dead Darth Vader / Anakin Skywalker]
Bandit Fort
[Jabba the Hutt's palace]

Translation errors in Dutch translations have been slowly increasing with each expansion, with the newest couple of expansions being 100% mistranslated. The Dutch rules of Dominion: Brunchtime are a widely esteemed science-fiction novel that has put DXV and the Dutch translators in a long-running judicial dispute over who has intellectual property over said novel.
Due to all English words being used as card names in Dominion, DXV has invented a large repository of new words, such as 'Chancellscout'.
Each copy of a Dominion base set now contains implantable mantis shrimp eyes so people can identify the colours of some of the many new types from eachother.

Combos, the baked pretzel snack.
Scout from To Kill a Mockingbird.
It is well-known that nothing in Dominion successfully combos with the deleted card Scout. So it's a bit of a meme to go looking for such combos.

No. The joke stemmed from the idea that Page is a Village, because Champion is a Village and you need Page to get Champion. Then someone pointed out that you can also get Champion using Rogue, so Rogue also counts as a Village.

Introducing Sentry comics!

I think that was also me. Totally different Sentry, though. Different character altogether from work-fatigued Sentry thinking about things.
EDIT: Maybe that's the day she quits? I hate it when the Chambers and Sentries come in the wrong order...

My combine harvester broke the other day and I couldn't sow my wheat seeds. So I went to the beach and tied up a crustacean.

You process the fibers into paper using industrial technology. This can get pretty sophisticated, since even minor differences between printings would be pretty easy to detect and give away the counterfeit nature of the decoy.

It rhymes. Vaguely.
In home counties British, plant is pronounced p-lar-nt. Which is similar to card.
It's not like there's a rule that you only have to change one letter.
Vague soundalike was good enough for me. In my defence I was extremely tired at the time and I find things very funny for no reason when I'm tired.
I laughed uncontrollably for a good 5 minutes at the gaining a lad one.

I did listen to the BBC for a while, and they did kind of pronounce "China" like it almost had an "r" at the end.
There's also that time that I made a joke that depends deeply on how you pronounce "cantrip" and a linguistics fight broke out. I'm not sure I've been forgiven for that yet.

We've all heard of the Village Idiot, but what other misplays are there in the world of Dominion?
Feodumbass - Buys Feodum on a board with no gainers, +Buy, or trashing.
Scoutcast - My baby don't mess around with Scout, 'cuz I know for sure that this card is bad. The Scoutcast isn't so hip to the meta.
Sir Miser - If the goal of the game were to have the most Copper on your Tavern Mat, Sir Miser would be the champion.
Ducat List - +5 Buys and you still only made $7 on your last turn...
Mineumint to Folly - Just think of all those Gold I can Mint! I just need to buy one to replace the one I just trashed first...
Tunnelcake - So your plan was that you were going to cross your fingers and hope to draw two Tunnels and your Count every shuffle. Ok.
Lost in Transmutation - There's a reason ScarJo won't play Dominion with Bill Murray anymore.
-
Highway to Hell - Gets what amounts to a bunch of expensive Poachers as there's no +Buy.
Cellar Dweller - So should I discard the Cellar to the Cellar, or should I keep it in case this Cellar draws another Cellar I want to discard? I wouldn't have bought so many of these, but I had a lot of junk...
Prince and the Pauper - Gets Prince on impulse without even checking if there are any good $4 or less cards.
Settler for Less - Opponent grabs all of Bustling Villages because you spent all your time trying to uncover them instead of building a good deck.
Trader to the Cause - Now how do I get rid of the Silvers?
Das Capital - Debt is scary but I really need the +Buy.
Wolf Den in Sheep's Clothing - Hey, I can win by a point if I also buy an Estate...
-
Overgorge: 8 Overlords later, the other guy is suddenly ahead.
The Anti-Draw Pact: Who needs draw cards? I sure don't
-
Why-house: Like Cellar Dweller, but with Warehouses.
Charity Worker: Buys Bishop solely for trashing.
"Get Rich Quick" Victim: Tries to get Golds with unsupported Transmutes or Treasure Maps instead of building up economy to just buy them.
And some broader categories:
Rat King: Always plays as many action cards as possible, even if they're likely to do more harm than good.
Try Everything: Buys some of every Kingdom card without any coherent plan to use them together (or variety rewarders).
Easy Reader: Ignores any cards with too much text, regardless of how simple they are in practice ("I have $5 and need more draw. I hear Journeyman is good for draw, but I can't be bothered to read all that text, so I'll just get a Smithy instead.").
The Berserker: Solely focused on playing as many Attacks as possible, ignoring things like greening and non-Attack payload (since those slow down the Attack engine). Because if I hit you with 8 Spy attacks per turn and you never score a hit on me, that means I'm winning, right?
-
Gone Meta - Salvage your Salvager. Warehouse your Warehouse. Remodel your Remodel. Chapel your Chapel. Sage your Sage. Island your Island. Junk Dealer your Junk Dealer. Sometimes, using a card on itself is a sign that you're not playing optimally.
Forever A Throne - (Stolen from the first few pages, I think) "This is where I'd put my Action card, if I had one..."
-
Try Everything: Buys some of every Kingdom card without any coherent plan to use them together (or variety rewarders).
Also known as Cornucoping Mechanisms
-
Devil Worshiper: Buys a Curse as soon as Defiled Shrine reaches three (http://wiki.dominionstrategy.com/images/thumb/9/92/VP.png/16px-VP.png).
-
Time Traveller: 3-piles for the win but then returns a Peasant or Page.
-
Try Everything: Buys some of every Kingdom card without any coherent plan to use them together (or variety rewarders).
I've gone through a few strategy phases. My first was to never buy any Action cards unless it had a +(http://wiki.dominionstrategy.com/images/thumb/6/6d/Coin.png/16px-Coin.png) amount on it. (To be fair, I only had 1E base game back then, so I did win a lot). My second was this, which is the polar opposite, as soon as I discovered that "Hey, Action cards exist too and are actually kind of fun!" I stopped winning around that time. I don't think I ever made a definite transition from this into actually building good engines; I think I just sort of gradually refined it. Now I win again.
Easy Reader: Ignores any cards with too much text, regardless of how simple they are in practice ("I have $5 and need more draw. I hear Journeyman is good for draw, but I can't be bothered to read all that text, so I'll just get a Smithy instead.").
This is everyone else in my family. Even after I explain that Journeyman is really just a Smithy that can skip over a junk card of your choice.
-
Doesn't Know Jack - Wow, this card is kind of dull and skipable.
Howbow Dah? - Goes for Copper gainers on boards with no trashing.
The Barren - Buys cards that interact with Victory cards early on in a Shelter game.
Queen Fan - Promotes more than one Hero.

There's Remake on the board. Lots of Remodel variants/trash which cares about card being trashed lend themselves to keeping Estate in hand.
Also, there's Crossroads in the kingdom, which along with Sheperd would be another reason to keep Estate for milling towards something better than Copper.

I think you give the AI too much credit. IIRC I didn't buy Remake, I think I just went for Envoy-COTR + Palace VP.
I guess it's possible to play Envoy on Turn 3 and then play it again on Turn 4 with Remake in hand and COTR on the mat, but that didn't happen. It's possible that the AI was responding to those things being on the board, but didn't track who had them (which would get really murky with Masquerade, if present)

That makes losing to it more fun and also improves balance.

How many brains is it if you realize that Moneylender is a terminal Silver (because you would have gotten $1 from the Copper this turn otherwise)?
-
$3 and trashes a Copper = a terminal Silver that gains a Lab
-
$3 and trashes a Copper = a terminal Silver that gains a Lab *that gives -$1
*FIFY
-
Distant shores = lab that gains estate = lab that trashes a lab = horse
-
Distant Horse?
-
$3 and trashes a Copper = a terminal Silver that gains a Lab
Terminal Silver that also turns a Peddler into a Laboratory.
-
Getting a little out of hand. Trashing a Copper means you’re cycling your deck one-card faster at the expense of one less coin to your deck’s total potential. Given that, to stay with the gain a Lab analogy, we’re adding pseudo-Peddlers to our starting deck? I get it, but oy vey.
It is an interesting discussion, for sure though.
-
Yeah, each Copper is a Lump Of Lead (Treasure: +$0) and a Peddler. I think. Except you get to play the Peddler before Moneylender trashes the Peddler for $2 and a Lab. Sort of.

Well, the Lab you gain is not a concrete Lab, so the Peddler you trash doesn't have to be a concrete Peddler either.

And buying Alchemist removes a Lump of Lead from your deck, but for some reason doesn’t give you Gold in its place.

Yeah, he needs a Potion and a Philosopher's Stone to finish the job.

Upgrading Copper is kind of like Upgrading Poacher to Laboratory. Except that it is not. It is weaker.
It's stronger, actually. The Laboratory can get bottomdecked and then you'll just draw the stop card normally, which can't happen if you simply don't have the stop card in your deck.
Otherwise you could claim that Island is like a Laboratory with 2VPs attached to it.
It's obviously not a Laboratory, it is itself a stop card. It is, however, like a Feast that gains a Laboratory with 2 VP tokens attached to it.
Or that Sanctuary is a Laboratory-gaining, anti-Peddler Market Square that is thrice also a cantrip VP-gainer.
It obviously doesn't ever gain any VP, only Labs.

lol, so I think if you use Messenger to give a copy of Secret Passage to Revenge Witch, she eventually plays the card and can't decide what to do. Because the AI is based on them never owning cards it isn't going to buy or gain? Crazy.
This should probably be a comic or meme somehow but I don't have a plot yet.
