Dominion Isotropic / Leaderboard change
« on: November 23, 2011, 07:14:09 pm »
Starting with tonight's update to the leaderboard (if all goes well), only the past 30 days of games are going to be counted towards your rank. Games older than that will have no impact whatsoever on your score.
This means that if you get better, your old games won't be dragging down your rank forever. It also means that you can't maintain a high rank based solely on past performance, playing only an occasional game to keep your account active. I think this is a good thing — I'd rather a high rank mean an active, fresh player — but you may disagree. If there's something really wrong with it I can always restore the old method. This is my third attempt at trying to account for player's skills varying over time; if nothing else it is at least the simplest to explain.
Yes, Karumah is still on top (and his sock puppet Kretin is now dead last, by far), but I expect everyone who cares knows about him so really, who cares.

Dominion Isotropic / Re: Bias selection towards
« on: September 21, 2011, 12:40:25 am »Does this show up when auto-match is trying to match players? Or will it just say "Default card selection chosen" without showing which sets the selection was biased towards?
No, it doesn't say anything; I think auto-match will always say "Default card selection".

If no player cares about the point tracker, it is always off because it is a variant not allowed by the actual rules; the default should obviously be to play Dominion, not Dominion-plus-public-scoring.
If no player cares about veto mode, it is sometimes enabled (randomly, 1 in 5 chance) because it is allowed by the rule book (which says "players can choose the 10 Kingdom cards using any method they agree on."); it's as legal a way to choose the Kingdom cards as any of the other mechanisms provided on the site.

Starting with tonight's update, games that have cards forced (or prohibited) via the "require card(s)" box will no longer count towards the leaderboard.

If you're in a game where an opponent is being particularly obnoxious in the chat window, you can now stop listening to them:

Dominion Isotropic / Re: Canceled Games?
« on: August 04, 2011, 06:53:09 pm »
A couple of times in the last 24 hours, the server has lost connectivity to the outside world. [Neighborhood-wide outages, according to the ISP.] When this happens, since the server remains up but gets no requests from users, it just thinks that users are disconnecting and counts them as resigning, so it's basically random who wins.
I plan to filter these bad games out of the logs and recompute the leaderboard for the last couple of days, but I can't do it until the day after the outage (since the game log for the current day is being appended to by the running server).

If you click the "info" button, the info window will show you both available Prizes and the contents of the Black Market deck (as needed for the game). Mousing over a card name there will show the popup for that card.

But the card is "Gardens", not "Garden", right? Here's City University of Seattle Library.

Yeah, a forum here for feedback might be useful. Though I don't promise to make any particular changes, no matter how many people here might agree they want them...

I've been curious if I was just too nitpicky, or if he got swamped as it got more popular, or what.Some of both.
