Other Games / Re: The Concept of "Victory Points"
« on: July 15, 2014, 08:38:24 am »
I like the RuneQuest hit point system with a total HP and a HP value for each body part, and depending on the body part, different amounts of HP left mean different things (for instance, a limb is broken at 0 and severed at -X where x is its max HP, and head makes the character unconscious at 0, and lose 1 point of the total HP each melee round at -X).

Sweden is warm enough in the summer.
No doubt, the heat in Finland right now is infernal too.

I think it's balanced. Also, it would be more interesting if the +1 card was first.

I think it's more interesting as-is.  "Will I draw my action?  Maybe I should get the actions just in case..."
And then you don't draw the Action and it was as good as a pure cantrip. Not very interesting.

This looked freaking awesome!

Let's do it NY/NJ!

Or Europe! But not in a sad cold country, Lekkit! Somewhere warmer and softer, say, maybe off the top of my head Spain?  :P
I'd actually consider visiting Sweden for this.

But hey, it would be cool anyway if other people showed up(fingers crossed)!
It wouldn't be cool if they showed up without their fingers crossed.

It's not weird to want to catch up with someone you were friends with in high school. But when you say (digs up quote) "I have no idea what kind of a person she is," I think, what we have here is, a "stranger." Okay here: "i used to spend countless hours in class just sitting there staring at her. other people would have done something, but I never did." That's not someone you contact 5 years later. If you used to go skateboarding with her behind the safeway after school, but just never brought up the topic of romance, then sure, that's someone you can contact 5 years later.
I had no idea what kind of people some of my Facebook friends were before I friended them. I'm pretty sure that most of my Facebook friends still have no idea what kind of a person I am.

The girl might have no reason to accept silverspawn's friend request, but what if she does? Wouldn't it be a huge waste then to not send one?

I think I'll just do it. it's not like i can lose anything, worst case I'll pretty much be at the same position I was before I had the dream

the dream was weird btw, she looked differently and I can't recall much of what happened. but after i thought i woke up, i went to my pc and did the exact same thing (google her). i found a weird site that was sort of a summery of what to do when looking for that girl, but before I could do much with it, I realized that that was a dream too and I woke up (not really though, just part of the dream). I think I repeated a similar process ~2 more times before I woke up for real. but I also recall that the window was closed in my dream, which is very unusual because I usually don't close it during the night, and when I woke up it was really closed.

dreams are awesome  :P
The repeated attempts at contacting that girl, but ultimately failing every time because you wake up, is clearly symbolizing a situation where you want to do it, but the "reality" tells you that it's not a good idea. You have the website with the instructions, those are the key to opening the closed window.

Or something like that. Actually I'm just pulling this out of my ass, which was probably obvious too.

In any case, more than being a creepy guy, I'd be concerned with agreeing to Facebook's terms and conditions. I mean, as you said, you can't really lose anything even if she ends up finding you creepy.

I have designed a deckbuilding game in which each player builds 4 separate decks with different roles simultaneously. It has not been playtested yet. And it never will be.
So, why did you design it? :P
I had the inspiration so I had to. It's kind of like those songs that are supposedly impossible to perform.

Goko Dominion Online / Re: Any other use for Gokoins?
« on: July 13, 2014, 06:23:26 am »
Usually whenever you exchange money for in-game currency, it never divides evenly, forcing you to "overpay", or at least constantly reminding you that you have some stuff left over, why don't you buy more of that currency.
But Gokoins do divide evenly for the expansions.

c2 with looking at 3 cards is another card that we tried in the German forums at $3, but then raised the cost to $4 (again, some years ago...). Depending on the deck variance, the card can be stronger than a Lab or just a useless cantrip. Today I'd say it mirrors Advisor. You want exactly the opposite kind of deck with it.

I think I'll use this thread for all of my new ideas. when I'm either confident enough to try a card, or convinced that it doesn't work, I'll remove it from the OP

Quote
c9 - Action - 2$
+1 Card
+1 Action
Set a card from your hand aside. Discard it the next time you shuffle your deck.

any thoughts about this one?
Nice idea. It compares best to Vagrant. Vagrant has a lower chance to hit a dead card (because he looks only at one and c9 normally looks at 5 cards). That's why I'd say in terms of getting through the deck, c9 is better. However, it is weakening your current turn because handsize is lowered while Vagrant gives you a dead card which you might use for discard effects/ tfb or stuff.
I think it is okay like this.

On the set-aside: You can just make the set-aside area for c9 be a "second discard pile" next to the normal one. The cards on that pile should also belong to the deck (as set aside cards normally do, e.g. Island, Prince).
That second discard pile might also be used for a completely new mechanic: Some cards can only be used every 2nd shuffle, some cards gain cards for the day after tomorrow etc. (Honestly, I am currently coming up with a Deckbuilding game with multiple discard piles in my mind. ;) )
I have designed a deckbuilding game in which each player builds 4 separate decks with different roles simultaneously. It has not been playtested yet. And it never will be.

Has been proposed and the problem is, if Tax Raise is set aside and there are two Highways in play, how much does a Poor House cost? Also, Cutpurse's effect is already similar.

a guy also mentioned this in the chat, so I assume it's not me. anyone else being unable to start games because it keeps freezing at the loading screen? It happened 5 times to me today, and I did lose rating every time. It might even count as quit%

yea dunno. it sucks.

Yup, happened to me twice as well with rating loss.  Is this type of rating loss reflected on isotropish or does isotropish automatically filter out goko's erroneous games?
Is there a way to tell the difference between an error and just quitting yourself?

I don't think so.

You could filter games that ended before turn 5, there is almost to quit that early so its probably goko bug.
But if people knew that, there would be some people who abused the system every time they have an unlucky opening.
yea way too much is decided by the turn 3/4 draws. I'm pretty sure a lot of people would become #1 on the leaderbord if they can quit after turn 4 without losing anything

I think that's stretching it a bit, but it certainly would give an unfair edge and would be exploited by people.
Not sure if it's even stretching it a bit. In normal Dominion, yes, but since you know that you can just quit if your turns 3 and 4 don't go the way you'd like, you can pick much riskier strategies than usually even if the expectations wouldn't normally be high. Stuff that normally has a lower-than-50% probability of succeeding, even if it gives you just a slight advantage given success, is not normally a good play, but for the cheater being enabled by this system, it is.

For example, Feast/Procession on a Baker board is not a very good idea normally, but if you don't have to lose the game even if you fail at connecting the two cards, it suddenly becomes nuts.

What about Oasis without the $1?

Aside from a few combos, this is usually worse than +1 card +1 action... a card which, aside from a few combos, you usually don't want in your deck; it's just less painful junk.
Actually, aside from a few nombos (which are fairly common, though — terminal draw and opponent's discarding attacks), you want it in your deck. Gives you better control over your reshuffles.

im not so sure. it does help, but it also decreases your hand size. you only want it if you are very likely to have dead cards in your hand, and that might just not be the case in games with strong trashing, or generally in a money based strategy.
Oh, I was referring to a pure cantrip. Pretty sure you never want this.

There was a bunch of discussion about when you want the pure cantrip in your deck before... I'm pretty sure the cons outweigh the pros on the average board. Terminal draw is going to be way more common than the amount that you need to purposefully avoid drawing 1 extra card to avoid a reshuffle.
Well, as long as there isn't a reason to not go for the cantrip, it's always a good addition to your deck. So it's more like "terminal draw is going to be way more common than rare".
