Title: Goko Dominion, anyone?
Post by: chairs on November 25, 2014, 07:31:06 pm
yes, yes, not technically forum games, I know, but this is the only part of the forums I really connect with people on, and I wanted to make sure I posted my request to the people I would particularly be keen on playing with.

I'm chairs on playdominion.com and would love to connect with you guys to play that card game I play on rare occasion perhaps more often :)

play me

I'm at work right now, hit me up in about 5 1/2 hours though and I can probably play a game if you don't mind the occasional slow play.

Probably available for games for about an hour starting time of this post.  I'm in Outpost.  I love you guys <3.

Is there a non-forum-post mechanism to be like "GUYS I AM HERE"? Because I don't want to continue to poo up forum games, since this isn't really a forum game post :\

For a moment I thought this would be the Mafia version of Goko.

This is the mafia version of goko: http://www.blankmediagames.com/TownOfSalem/

Note: side effects of playing a game on this site include being disappointed. Don't bother.

If anybody's interested and okay with the occasional slow playing (I'm at work and have to focus on work stuff mostly) I'm going to be on goko now.  I'll sit in outpost this time for real i promise.

Well, I guess I'm going to bite the bullet and give (free) Goko a try.  My cursory look at the Wiki leads me to believe that if I'm going to use Chrome (which is my preference), I need to download the Salvager application.  Any other hints as to how to make this as positive an experience as I can?

Turn the music off. But it's really not that terrible. I think people like to exaggerate how bad Goko (well now it's Making Fun) is.

It's probably not that terrible because it's not Goko anymore.

I would play it more if I could actually play it.  Using automatch and looking for games at the same time takes me like 10 minutes to find a game even if I'm willing to play Base.  It doesn't instaqueue like iso.  Human opponents are like this critically important feature for me, I end up just playing Hearthstone.

Yeah, I've always been able to find a game within a couple minutes. Being rated over 5500 helps, though you should probably be able to find a game even if you are rated just over 4000, which I was for a while.

I think 2000? I could be wrong. Anyway, you rating will move really fast at the beginning.

Well, it doesn't matter because I'm not smart enough to set up an account. (Mind the size of a planet, and they give me this...)

I didn't want to download the whole Salvager extension for Chrome, or read 67 pages of history on that, so I decided to just go play.  Accessing the site from Chrome, the opening page looks like some kind of grade school typing project (courier and everything!).  The 'sign up' link is not a link, so no account.

Went to IE, and the opening page looks like a high school typing project, so that was an improvement. Alas, the 'sign up' link is not a link.  So no Goko for me I guess.

Rocket science, man, rocket science.

I had my name picked out and everything.

If it doesn't look like this, there's something wrong on your side.

(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/16948609/goko%20main%20menu.png)

When you click on the sign up button, it should open a pseudo-pop up window (which isn't an actual distinct window/tab) where you can log in with a social network account of your choice (Facebook, Twitter or Google) or just create a Goko account.

Would any Mafia friends be willing to play Dominion with me?

I like to play slow and chatty (shocker!) and I've decided I actually want to improve at Dominion a bit.  But I only like you guys.

I will actually be on for a couple more hours now, and then late tonight for several hours and a bunch later in the week probably.

Generally speaking, yes. Add me on steam at http://www.steamcommunity.com/id/loktai if you'd like - IM is way better than forum for actually trying to connect for these.

Sadly, I do not own any cards either. I will make the game in Outpost, it will be unrated (because I know I will lose). See you there!
