Title: What a great community!
Post by: rhogar on July 24, 2015, 08:51:53 pm
Hello everybody!

I am fairly new to Dominion, with just a dozen games under my belt via physical games and online. I just discovered the Making Fun web client and have been having a blast. I have also been devouring game annotations and the simulators to learn everything I can. Dominion is a great thinking game when I am waiting for people to play Twilight Struggle, Paths of Glory, and the other great wargames with.

I am in my 30s, have a dream job and a dream family, and love tabletop gaming. I hope to get to know some of you, to participate in this community, and rank up in the ladders.

Thanks and have a good day!

New people who are nice! I like it. Much better than new people who are mean.

Hmmm... I guess some of the new people have been terrible, for shame. I'm just an avid wargamer who moved and haven't found a regular group. I've been reading all the articles on the website here and the forums, learning what I can. Still a little shy to commit to a live game just yet, but I'll be active real soon.

I hope I'm not much worse than old people who are mean!

Don't worry, you'll lose badly and often for awhile. :) That's the nature of the game.

It was supposed to be a bit of absurd humour. I guess I have to go back to the drawing board!

Moving and losing your regular group sucks! Hope you find a new one soon.

I gotcha and figured, the drawing board is just fine.  ;D

I'm ok with the move. I'm back home after 13 years working around the world, putting roots into the ground finally. It feels good! But yeah, need to get in with a group.

I've been losing... A lot!  :'( But I've been going through the game logs and finding out why. It's embarrassing, but I'm having problems in level 7 of the base set tutorial "adventure" in the app. Dude always pulls witches and floods my deck. I respond with maybe 1 cellar, but I try to 3-pile as soon as possible. I can empty the gardens fairly easily, and the curses from him, but then I pitter out. The closest I got was a loss 17-11 or something. Ugh.
