Title: *waves*
Post by: tao on May 03, 2012, 03:36:25 pm: Hi everyone,

I'm a high school math teacher (algebra and statistics) in New York City. I've been playing on isotropic since December and have been lurking here for almost the same amount of time. Most of my development as a player has come from reading posts in this forum. The rest is due to dumb luck and lots of trial and error.

Even at my current level (32), I still feel sometimes like I know absolutely nothing about this game, and I'm just clicking buttons at random.

Cards I like:

1. Fishing Village
2. Warehouse
3. Oasis

I take it you're a fan of engines? :P

You know, I'm actually not a fan of engines. This lends itself to my suspicion that I don't really understand this game.

I just like cycling away useless cards. Maybe remove Fishing Village from that list and add in Courtyard.

Fishing Village? Join the club.
Warehouse is a NICE cycler, and pretty decent all around.
Oasis? Hmmm....

I like Courtyard too. It is nice for smoothing out terminals, and your late game 7's and 9's.

By the way, welcome to the forum.

I forbid you from preferring Cellar! Warehouse exists! We will not tolerate this!

/sarcasm (please don't smite me, theory :P ;D)

I wholeheartedly approve of making fun of this, still :)
