"If your tactics based on maps from Guilds, then try to make sure that you always have some coins in stock."
So is Maps a card that needs a lot of coin tokens?
It wasn't my joke anyway, second man in and all...Would you go so far as to say that if you don't get some Shelters that you'll fade away?I'm so sorry your post was the second last on the page, so you didn't get the satisfaction of seeing it appreciated. I've +1'ed it out of sympathy for you poor devil.
Would you go so far as to say that if you don't get some Shelters that you'll fade away?The whole rating thing has been brought up countless times on getsatisfaction. Goko has addressed it many times and their answer is that they want a good reconnect feature in place before having players ratings get hurt for disconnects. Sadly, it's messed up, but Goko is aware of this issue. What I hope they fix is the Colonies never showing up in pro games except once in a blue moon.You mean the Shelters never showing up, because, damn, I've had a lot of Colony pro games.
Yes, I meant Shelters never showing up. Yah, I get plenty of Colony games. I would say the right amount, but I really want to see those Shelters. I love them!
They're just a shot away. Or perhaps a kiss away.
Eventually, you will be really sick of saying that. You must have a lot of patience, because I would be plenty sick of saying it by now.I don't think Donald or RGG are money-hungry beasts or anything like that. I DO think they made a bad buiseness decision. Very bad. Even if it reports them money (I have no idea on how much money they are making with the Goko license, if any).I do not have a contract of any kind with Goko. It is popular to believe I must, but I don't.
This reminds me of a game manual from Fantasy Flight Games.That sounds like a classic FFG manual. I bought every expansion of Descent V1 up to the Quest Compendium before I realized they weren't even spell checking their product anymore.
"You have 10 phases.
Before, during, or after a phase you can play some cards."
Just check the rules for The Lord of the Rings card game if you don't believe me.
Forum Games will still exist; therefore the community will still exist.
Except it wont.
Been through this in other boards, if Dominion goes away then attracting new visitors to this board will become harder and harder, and people who gradually drift away will not be replaced.
I'd like to know if it is possible to download the "isotropic" code, so I can run it locally. Basically, if I'm playing with friends or my kids, we prefer tapping buttons to shuffling decks.
This is a straightforward question - I don't want to get "legality" answers, I just want the download (and would be willing to pay a nominal price).
Bwa ha! That's hilarious.
I'd like to know if it's possible to kill my neighbor.

Not sure I understand your point here.
I disagree here. I figure the game engine would be one the of less time-consuming elements to create. If all the client-side code (HTML, Javascript, CSS) is present, plus all the non-game-engine parts of the server, then that's a huge part of the game. (Which is why it wouldn't be released.)
To avoid violating the ethical agreement, there's no need to provide Dominion card content, just the bare bones and an interface to add cards. The user can invent a game, copy a game with some effort or whatever.

While you may not realize it, you are over simplifying the technical portion of the Dominion elements, and what you are actually talking about is reprogramming the game. If you have the skill set to do so, you wouldn't need the code.

Yeah, I knew what you meant.
Still I think Goko should just believe their users if they tell them that their game is bugged.
I can't find where on GetSatisfaction they say Shelters are working as intended. I have noticed that bug fixes have pretty much stopped since we lost Trisha (and Tanya?).
It's not a shame, it's a fine name. It's just not "Ray."It's Jay./shame

This got off-topic long ago. Can we get it moved to RSP please?
Top5@2011:Of course, the rich west completely does not interfere with the rest of the world...Extreme wealth can only survive with a lot more extreme poverty. And I'm not up for that.
So, the US (a nation which traditionally celebrates wealth) poverty line is $11,490 (1 person family). Approximately 15% of our populace lives below that.
According to the global rich list, this puts our poorest in charge of more wealth than 87% of the world: http://www.globalrichlist.com/
We absolutely interfere:

So you think everybusiness is a large business? Small buisenesses exist, you know? In which people make a living but don't get rich... you can work for those as well. You don't need a huge amount of capital to start one of those, especially in software development, but many other areas as well (you think every bakery owner is rich?).
Extreme wealth can only survive with a lot more extreme poverty. And I'm not up for that.
Classic example of not understanding money.B: if no one is ever rich, who will pay you to do your job?
Every one of your bosses was rich? My experience was definitely opposite. Now the estate is paying me, so I guess is rich, but is not a person.
You find it justifiable to deny another man his right to a profit from his own creation?
People with thoughts such as "right to a profit" will probably never fully agree with me. I think getting paid for your job is good. I think becoming rich is noone's right. In between, well, there are a number of middle grounds. Donald already said in the interview that he does not think he needs more money at all, so I don't feel bad for him. RGG (i.e., Jay and his wife who's name I don't know) I don't know, but I suspect has a similar success. Goko, I have no information, but I don't feel they earned my money.
In any case, I don't believe in intelectual property at all. I don't collect any money for people reading my papers (assuming someone is, which is probably not true) nor courses using exercises or classes I made after I moved to teach a different subject. I've already got paid for that, I don't think I have the right to indefinitely get money for the same work. Intelectual property, on the other hand, is virtually infinite reward for a finite amount of work.
Okay, you go ahead and make your own implementation, offer it for free, and pay close attention to how simple the judge finds it when he hits you with a cease and desist order.
They probably don't have any license rights in Argentina, and I'm surely not going to do that. I'm not discussing law but justice (or at least, my view on justice) which are quite different things, sadly.Playing online games do not violate any rights, AFAIK
Oh, the internet.
There you go making my point for me. Building an online implementation of Dominion uses an IP, infringing on the IP holder's rights. This is really quite simple.
There is nothing simple about intellectual property, you are just being simplistic when discussing it. To some extent, using the cards to play could be thought about using the IP of the game. The legal permissions you get by buying the cards are anything but "simple" if you want to go into the details.
Also: Ignorantia juris non excusat
What's that have to do with anything?
Playing online games do not violate any rights, AFAIK
Everything that you quote here does not violate any right associated with the purchased item, but other rights. Playing online games do not violate any rights, AFAIK, so its not at all analogous to any of those situations.
I have my Atari connected to my flatscreen TV. I never realized how big those pixels were...(i mean serously now, kuildeous just used both atari and vhs in his example)
Hey, it's been confirmed that I'm not the oldest member here.
But, still, get off my lawn.
(I do still have my VHS of Monty Python's Flying Circus because I can't bear to throw all that away)
Just hooked up my NES a couple weeks ago. Turns out the Light Gun won't work on newer TV's.
You were not given the license to do so by purchasing the cards.
I also did not get the license to play on a table made of wood specifically, and I do it all the time. Should I not be able to do whatever I want with the items I buy?
