Dominion Online at Shuffle iT / Re: Where?
« on: January 02, 2017, 03:20:44 pm »
The website is https://dominion.games/ , and they have their own forum at http://forum.shuffleit.nl/index.php.

The website doesn't open for me ...chrome on an iPad.

I think I'm confused ...but I suspect that when the email arrives, it might be clearer, what I need to do.

Just gained access to the website but it won't allow me to register using my userid and email address ...it says my email is invalid ...but it was the one to which my joining instructions were sent.   Or am I still missing something.  Getting a bit frustrated ...or is it because I'm using an iPad.

Dominion World Masters / Re: Dutch Championships 2013
« on: January 02, 2017, 03:00:25 pm »
I saw this message: http://www.bordspelmania.eu/evenementen/topic8946.html

Any guys attending?
The last dutch championships was really nice.
I expect Stef to be dominating there or Davio defending his title?

So if you have seen the link, what do you think about the pre rounds?
I think it will be a mistake. I don' t think much people will go to a pre round tournament.
Or at some location maybe turns up alot of people and at another location maybe 4 people. Not really fair imo

Does anyone know when the next Dutch championship will be held?

Rules Questions / Re: Simple Rules Questions

1. I buy Border Village and gain Bridge.  I can put them on top of my deck in either order (because Border Village's effect is on gain, not on buy).
I think this is already false (so 2 and 3 are as well). I cannot get Border Village on top of the Bridge because of the lose-track rule.

I buy Border Village.
I gain Border Village (move it to discard pile).
Two on-gain effects happen, I can choose which one happens first. I can first move my Border Village to the top of the deck or first gain a card with Border Village.
Let's gain a card with Border Village first.
I gain a Bridge (move it to discard pile, covering up Border Village, meaning that Travelling Fair has lost track of Border Village)
I can now optionally move Bridge to the top of deck.
For the Border Village gain, 1 effect has been resolved, and the other does nothing anymore because of the lose-track rule, so I cannot but Border Village on top of my deck.

Travellers fair is paid for then surely each gain thereafter is dealt with in turn ...i.e. Either to deck or discard. So bv is bought (eg) and put on deck then chose bridge (put on deck) ... etc etc.

Am I missing something.

I'ts currently not possible to access the site on an iPad. Since it was possible during the beta, I'd expect this to be resolved soon.
This explains why I can't get in to access it.  I'll wait until I get home to the UK (ik zit nu in Nederland) then I can try to access it on my big computer... it's not that big but bigger than my iPad.

I hope Dominion works with Microsoft xp. Otherwise I'll be crying ... I am a bit of an addict ...but fortunately, we have all,the cards at home, so we can just play in real mode.

No dominion online now ....assuming email will follow soon ...!

They're coming... we're sending them out in batches, checking if everything is ok in between.

Hi Stef ... am I being impatient?  As an addict I'll be getting DTs soon ... after what date should I start to worry if I haven't got my access to the new facility?   
I had purchased several of the making fun sets so I guess I might be a silver user or whatever!

It looks amazing, Stef. Well done. I'll gladly send money you guys direction. :)

I mean, it's not perfect yet, but as it stands, I have every faith that you guys are working hard and that it'll become really good.
So ... how do I find out where to use the new version ... I was a signed up and paid up member of making fun and have received no email yet ... telling me what to do ... is there an email address where I can ask how to get reinstated etc ... as an addict, I'm starting to get dilerium tremends!

Dominion World Masters / Re: How best to run a 3-player tournament
« on: September 06, 2012, 04:12:12 am »
Thanks for all these comments and contributions.   I live in the UK and have not seen much about Dominion Tournaments here, and certainly not much in the South-West [perhaps we have been disctracted by the Olympics and Paralympics this year].  However,  on a recent holiday to the Netherlands [where we managed, incidently, to buy Intrigue and SeaSide [both Dutch versions] and Prosperity in German, adding to our French Hinterlands and our English all the other sets] I took a notebook and started working out how a tournament with 9, 10, 11, 12 and so on competitors might work.  I agree with several of you that a good tournament needs a mix of 3, 4 and even 2 player competitions.   One of the nicest is to have a number of players divisible by 9 ... then you get the first three rounds randomly allocated and no-one need play another player twice in those three rounds.   I wasn't sure if 5,3,1 or 6,3,0 should be used.  I like the 6.3.0 then you can use 6.4.2.0 for 4 player games and have the same winning score.  Good for a mix of 3 and 4 in the same round.

 If you are playing with multiples of 9 you can pre-select cross fertilsation across the groups of 9 ... I must admit that it can get very addictive ... working it out ... it's good fun.

After those 3 rounds ... continue with a sort of Swiss round [it helps to balance the results across the board when the randomness didn't quite get it right in the first 3 rounds].  Swiss in this context would play the top 4 [so far] against each other ... then the next 4 and next 4 and so on.   Yes ... moving to 4 player games.   If the numbers don't add up ... then adjust with a subtle mix of 4 and 3 [but concentrate on the 4 at the higher end of the rankings].

For the 5th round ... seed the players ... as mentioned before [by whatever means ... ] but on 4 players per table.

After this round you have a set of results from which to pick your semi-final table and so on down the listings.
The top 4 after this 5th round ... play against each other and the top 2 then play a final for overall 1st and 2nd.  The next 2 play for 3rd and 4th place ... and you may wish to continue to the 5th and 6th play off ... Perhaps you are running a sequence of tournaments and the lower positions matter [cf F1 racing pts].

Then I thought ... but above all, what is important in all this is, that the players enjoy their playing and that it doesn't just get to be a set of tournament rules being enacted [this was part of our sermon at church on Sunday just gone ... Mark 7 vv6-8] ... it sort of rang true.

So I wrote down some ground rules.
- Enjoyment of the players
- the opportunity for  the best overall player on the day to be the winner
- to play Dominion largely as it was designed [ie for 2 - 4 players] ... I know you can play with 5-6 but I'm keeping it simpler for my mind to cope with.
- Enjoyment of the organisers and without too much hassle [not sure of spelling ... or is it hastle].

So 5 rounds then semis and then finals ... or cut it shorter if need be.  With only 12 players ... I would do a round of 3x4p then a round of 4x3p then a Swiss and then seeded ... then into Semis [4p] and Final [2p]

Just a thought ... but above all Enjoy.
