Dominion Isotropic / Isotropic ignore list?

« on: February 24, 2013, 07:50:10 am »

I would personally be happy to have a persistent ignore list on isotropic. It's not common that I get stalled in iso by losing players, but it happened at least twice. By now I don't even remember who was the first to stall against me the first time (though there is a thread here somewhere), currently jmoney is playing/unplaying a copper to the game. There are also some players that use offensive language on practically every game (winning or losing).

I do not wish to ban those players or anything similar, but I do not wish to play against them. The solution seems to be some player specific "ignore list", which will be persisted between different sessions. Players in the ignore list will not be matched automatically, and a warning will be displayed if you are suggested a game with a player on your ignore list.

Do you find such a feature reasonable?

BTW: I've seen poozle's post regarding my disconnection. I would like to apologize, and though I'm not sure I guess my machine crashed. It happened to me on several cases (though it's not often), and usually the restart is not fast enough to rejoin the game (amazingly, sometimes it is). I certainly had no intention of leaving him hanging. The only cases I did so were when I had to leave urgently during an opponent's turn, before I knew clicking "exit" would forfeit the game even in this case.

Dominion Isotropic / delaying games on purpose, how to handle?

« on: January 13, 2012, 07:13:24 pm »

It is the first time I encountered this as a problem, but it can be quite annoying and maybe something can be done (although I don't see what). In a game I played with JLock he announced on his 15th turn that he will deliberately play slowly because "I could and the game and I have a huge lead". Now, he was right that I could do it in my last two turns up to this moment (despite what I said in chat, I was mistaken), and I would have done so if I knew him to wish the game to end without resigning (though I see no reason not to resign). This was our conversation around this point:

yariv: hey, you there?
JLock: yep
yariv: ok
JLock: i'm just going to take 2 minutes between moves because
yariv: because?
JLock: you could have ended the game at any point in the last 10 minutes and didn't
yariv: how?
JLock: even though you had a huge lead
JLock: three tunnels
yariv: I didn't have the buys
JLock: you could have you had at least three buys each of the last two turns
yariv: well, enjoy
JLock: or could have easily
yariv: or resign, if you prefer
yariv: but in the future I recommend to suggest such a move to your opponent if you wish him to take it
yariv: and now I'm going to the forums, see if something can be done regarding such behaviour

Now, of course I waited and played when my turn arrived, then won as he resigned, but this can be extremely time consuming if he had an engine going, and during this time I can't even open another game on a different tab (unless doing something special), so it is quite annoying.

so, what can be done, if anything, regarding such behaviour? I would definitely try to remember not to play against him, but I might forget. will it be possible to implement an ignore-list in isotropic? do you find it reasonable?

Rules Questions / Black Market Deck

« on: June 12, 2011, 10:52:13 pm »

Anyone know how are the cards in the BM deck selected? They do not contain all cards from the sets (boxes, expansions, whatever) used for the setup, so which cards?
