Dominion General Discussion / Re: To veto or not to veto
« on: January 23, 2012, 11:57:35 am »Geronimoo, even if I accept your statement that vetoing cards you can't play well is not strategy (which I don't), there's still just no way vetoing at random is anywhere close to the correct/only strategy (non-strategy) for a player going first, neither from a theoretical nor a practical standpoint. Do you actually think so?
I just find it fun vetoing random because I don't have to waste brain power on that decision and it might mess with my opponent's head when I randomly veto something mediocre: "OMG, this lvl45 just vetoed Counting House, wow, what does that mean!???..."
That you don't like counting house? =p
Whenever a stronger opponent vetoes a mediocre card, I do take an extra second or two to re-evaluate, but generally I just assume my opponent likes the board as is and chose to remove an "irrelevant" card.

Dominion General Discussion / Re: Share Your Pre-Game Planning Success Stories
« on: June 14, 2011, 01:04:43 am »Everyone has had games where they look at a set of 10 kingdom cards and decide that they want to do something rather unconventional right from the beginning. It's another matter to see a strategy like this turn out exactly as you envisioned it.
In a recent game, I started out ironworks / chapel in a colony game much to the surprise of my opponent. I used the ironworks to gain a conspirator and a haven and worked toward getting a kings court. Kings court / conspirator / ironworks was able to fuel my engine, while using salvager to deplete the colony's before my opponent could do anything.

Woah! That game was against me. Shark_bait tells the truth: I was very much surprised by ironworks/chapel opening. When I saw his opening I did not properly consider the presence of King's Court, and simply assumed that he would build up a conspirator chain with haven + ironworks. I thought it would be annoying but too slow in a colony game. As you can see in the log, I was not able to consistently buy colonies, and once I lost the lead, my opponent used his incredible drawing and King's Court + Salvager to run out the colonies.
I will readily admit that this was definitely one of the largest "misreads" I have made in a long time. I have learned from my mistake (hopefully).
