Dominion Isotropic / Re: Decline of civility on isotropic?

« on: June 18, 2011, 05:02:01 pm »

This.

I dislike players taking too long to end an obviously-won game. Losing stinks, especially if you've had bad luck in a game, so I can understand some soreness from losers. But if you've already won, just end the game. If you only need to ironworks a $2 card to get a third pile, don't keep running your engine and buying VP. I can understand being worried that your thin deck is about to stall out, so you need to get enough points to prevent a comeback.  There's no points for margin of victory.  RUTSing is truly lame.


Just had a colony game where other player is up by 30+.  "You've got this one," I say, pop the score from the point counter. I try to be subtle: I buy three estates, so there's only two left. He buys a colony and a silver.  I buy another estate - and point out that he could've ended the game and won.  He buys a Province and a duchy.

I'll walk from that kind of game.  Just leave the window open and make him wait for the time-out.

That is assholery IMO.  If you've lost, just leave.  Don't take 5 minutes from this guys life.  The winner can't leave and get his win, but you can leave and get your loss.

Sure, if you've lost, just leave, but by the same argument, if you've won, just win.  If the winning player is obviously intent on wasting the losing player's time just to be an ass, I think they deserve to have a bit of theirs wasted in return.

If I feel like it was a good game, I'll throw out a gg.  But I'm not going to say it if I didn't feel like it really was...  In that case you might get a "thanks for the game".

As for the beginning, gl, hf, etc seems crazy to me.  I'll stick with "Hello" or "Hi "

That way I'm not pretending to wish good luck, the whole point of being here is to have fun, and I still (hopefully) don't come across as being inconsiderate.

Sometimes if I'm playing against someone who isn't being friendly towards me, I'm not going to stick around to exchange false pleasantries afterwards.

That said, if I lose 115 to -3, and I say "gg"...you can assume that's a snarky comment.  Chances are what's coming out of my mouth doesn't start with g's...

As for intentionally being offensive, complaining about your slow play when you're not being slow, naked women in the avatars, etc.  I think that's crossing the line.

Dominion General Discussion / Re: Which is the card you hate the most?

« on: June 17, 2011, 10:54:16 am »

Which is the card that annoys you the most when you see it in the deck and opponent is going for it and successfully using it?

Mine is smugglers:i hate that one builds his deck based on what takes his opponent rather than his own plan, of course sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. If we both go for smugglers it leads to pretty miserable game.

Which cards makes you curse as you see it?

I agree that smugglers is annoying..  "I worked for that gold, and he just got it for free!"

There's a list of cards that I don't especially like, saboteur, Treasure Map, swindler, etc.  But the only cards I usually decline are possession games, just because it's obnoxious..  and my most hated card for sure is Pirate Ship.

Variants and Fan Cards / Re: Thought Exercise: Would Masquerade be better or worse if it drew 3 cards?

I agree, it would be a bit overpowered.  And way too cheap at $3.
