The only time you need to really plan is if you're going for and Alt VP strategy, and usually its obvious which ones. The VP, the gainer cards and either Duchies or Estates.

I don't think it's just the Duchies or Estates, I've piled another kingdom pile too (for instance, Workshop/Village/Gardens, because the Villages let me play more workshops).

Also:  How many college instructors do we have in this thread, anyway?  I count at least three specifically declared (me, Peebles, shraeye).  Anyone else?
Claim: third party, neither professor nor student

Vote: Axxle

If Axxle is a substitute teacher I'm looking at you next.

vote: Axxle

I'm just a student!  Axxle claimed third party, that's usually bad for the students.

Dominion General Discussion / Re: Jack BM vs. Jack pseudoengine
« on: May 05, 2014, 01:41:52 pm »
I personally would go for an engine, using Jack and Spice Merchant for trashing, Shanty Town for a village, Margrave for +Cards and +Buy, then get Pawns and/or Havens with any spare coins.  This engine looks fairly fast since both Jack and Spice Merchant trash while keeping your tempo going.  I don't think Margrave not being the greatest as an attack is a problem here, as I'm sure you can easily set up double province turns here and any benefit your opponent gets from Margraves will probably be less than the benefit you get from them.

I had a game recently where my opponent went for BM while I went for an engine, and Pirate Ship saved my life.  Then it didn't save the log...

It's actually Star Wars Day.  May the Fourth be with you.  It's about as unofficial as pi day.

I think (at least what I would think they are thinking) is "If P is true, and I use that in a situation, I should be able to get another statement which is obviously true."

[checking this]

"P is true because when you assume P is true you get another statement which is true."

If P wasn't true, then 2 != 2, or such nonsense.

Everybody, let's full claim to see if we can figure things out.  Everybody can claim whenever.

I am a death delayer.  I can delay someone's death by one night.  I am still orange.

Rules Questions / Re: Possession question
« on: May 04, 2014, 11:16:46 am »
Card rules "overwrite" main rules.  If a card says to do something, you do that before what the main rules say to do.  So, the Possession turn happens first.

But this is what you have to teach. Why it matters. And convince them that the extra work it takes to formally write it out is sometimes needed. Because often, it's not.

There's a limit to what you can teach someone in one semester.  I did teach them what solutions to differential equations are.  I did numerous examples.  I taught them about solutions to linear systems of algebraic equations and to linear systems of differential equations.  I taught them about eigenvectors, eigenvalues, Laplace transforms and so on.  How much time am I supposed to devote to explain why circular arguments are not valid? They've already taken half a dozen other math classes at university in addition to years of math classes in high school.  Plus just everyday experience and logic, including in other courses.  If they don't already grasp that circular reasoning is flawed, what am I supposed to do about it?  Maybe I'm just an awful teacher.

Not telling them the level of formality you want, then marking them wrong on it, is similar to not teaching them how to do all of these things you just mentioned, then marking them wrong on it because they didn't know how.

I think the problem is that they haven't done things like you think they have when they haven't.

The don't think it be like it is, but it do.

Oops, I messed up that sentence somewhat.

Actually, I've never had a problem where I had to prove some value of x is a root to an equation.  I'm always asked to just find the roots of an equation.

Rebuild
A board with amazing stuff
but a single card throws down the glove
puts a clock on the game
many engines are tamed
cause challenging rebuild is tough

Reminds me of the game where I was looking at the cards, and saw Rats and Develop.  I realized that has the possibility of being an amazing combo, getting $3 and $5 cards and +1 Card for each Rats you trash.  I looked at the $3, they looked pretty good.  I looked at the $5, some pretty good ones, - oh, Rebuild, I didn't see you there...
...and so you went for rebuild, trashing rats with develop, topdecking rebuild?

No, I just went for rebuild, I think my opponent did rats+develop, and I won.

I've never had anybody tell me to write things like the way you are asking.  To know where I am in my math education, I'm taking precalculus, but have done a lot of calculus on my own time.

Pretty sure I'm about to throw out my entire cd collection.

It's only about 50 CDs but I never listen to them anymore and my only CD player is in the car, so I have kept some of the best to put in there and will never listen too (can connect my iphone to radio in car anyway)

You could sell them.  I'm sure you could some a fair bit of money.  Keep them for about two more years and they might already be antique!

Are there any super strong $4/$4 openings? Tournament/Remake is the strongest I can think of. Which admittedly seems pretty killer.

Treasure Map/Treasure Map?

I think Merchant Guild is in the middle.  If you have a few extra actions, it can easily be added to your engine and help it a lot.  I one time got like 50 coin tokens from it once.
