Goko Dominion Online / Re: So I bought Dominion: Intrigue the other day

« on: February 12, 2013, 03:00:15 pm »

This seems relevant.

I bought an Xbox360 to get Perfect Dark even though I still had my Nintendo64 in good working condition.

(The reason: I wanted to play Perfect Dark on a movie theater 30ft screen, and the Nintendo can't do that.)

Dominion General Discussion / Re: Infinity

Now I'm trying to work out just how quickly someone could draw the hand of Procession, Ironworks, Watchtower to empty 3 piles and end the game. Can it be done on turn 3?

I want to make it +1Card +1Action, trash a card, gain same cost. It could be useful for changing engine pieces late in the game.

Dominion General Discussion / Re: Iso or Goko?

« on: February 11, 2013, 10:48:45 pm »

So, I had this great idea to start charging my friends $1 each time they wanted to use a new kingdom card in the set of ten. I give them the first game for free and start charging from there. It didn't take very long before they decided to just buy a copy for themselves.

This post was completely hypothetical.

I am personally torn as to whether I want to pay for Goko cards or not. I prefer playing real cards with real people. At the same time, I prefer being home alone where it's quiet. (And Goko still freezes on me a LOT more than I'm comfortable with, so it's just Base games for now.)

Good luck to you.  Are you going to refrain from just posting, or reading about Dominion too?

I'm having a hard time deciding what would be a worthwhile sacrifice for me. I don't have many vices that I would feel like I'm actually sacrificing.  The internet as a whole would probably be best but that will be difficult with my job managing the website at work. I've given up other things for longer than a month out of laziness, so that is deterring me from picking things that I "like" as most of those things can be forgotten rather quickly.

If the weather was nicer, I could abstain from driving my car.

Wero, you might be sacrificing some of your free time to do something productive.

Variants and Fan Cards / Re: Sylas' card ideas

« on: February 10, 2013, 12:17:10 pm »

[...]

PICKPOCKET, $3, Action-Attack
+$1, +1 Buy
All players (including you) choose one: he gains a Curse, putting it into his hand; or he trashes a card from his hand.
You may gain any of the trashed cards. If you do, put them into your hand.

TR-Pickpocket becomes:
+$2, +2 Buy, All other players gain a Curse to their hand and trash a Curse from their hand.

This seems a little redundant.

« on: February 10, 2013, 12:50:01 am »

[...]Although I do have a question........Do you charge people for 3D glasses on top of charging them extra for a 3D film?

Absolutely not. Like other companies, we are required to charge extra for 3D shows, but we do not add more to that for the glasses. (Or charge you a deposit until you return them, or any of that nonsense.)

If I can get Goko to work more consistently, I would be glad to join some of you on there.

Variants and Fan Cards / Re: Trinkets - Replacements for Starting Copper

Interesting. You can possibly get an opening of 7/2 with Trinket 3 and Trinket 4 in your hand.

« on: February 09, 2013, 06:57:28 pm »

Hello,

I'm Justin, I go by Enfynet ("infinite") on the internet. I am a huge Dominion fan, but am generally below-average skill. I still enjoy it anyways.  I am educated as a civil engineer, and make my living managing a 16-plex cinema, and maintaining the company's website. We host a game night once a week, which is where I was introduced to Dominion (and other games.)

I look forward to participating in this community.

« on: February 09, 2013, 04:56:14 pm »

Well changing the starting 10 changes how a lot of cards play. I do like the idea of having more unique cards though.

Not sure how I feel about Rare Coin in cases where Salvager is available. (Even with Remodel it's pretty strong.)

There could also be a case where Trinkets care about Copper specifically, so you wouldn't want to replace all of the starting cards.

Goko Dominion Online / Re: Game freezes

« on: February 09, 2013, 01:35:24 pm »

I get freezing issues quite often on my laptop, but not on the PC at work. Both using Chrome. I feel like it has something to do with the graphics card at this point.

Variants and Fan Cards / Re: Another take on "Blood Money"?: Ring of Power

« on: February 09, 2013, 01:27:40 am »

the idea of LotR dominion is awesome. I just feel the ring of power has more to it than just riches. Of course this power comes with a hefty loss as well. and if you overuse the power you will lose your mind.

Ring of power:
Action: cost 0 (this is not in the supply)
+1 action
Search your deck or your discard pile for a card and put it in your hand. Gain a curse. Trash a card.

One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them

I like where you're going with this... Could use refining, but it has a nice theme-use connection.

Puzzles and Challenges / Re: Empty the Supply in 4 Turns

« on: February 09, 2013, 01:08:44 am »

I remember when he did this in five turns, and I said it was time to pack it up, Dominion had been solved.

Obviously, I was wrong.

Presumably, for CC's next trick, it'll be three turns.

Could you give me a link to that?  I couldn't find it with the forum search...

http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=3740.msg85631#msg85631

And he won't do 3 turns until Guilds.

Maybe "When you play this, gain a Copper" to put it on-par with Cache? (Well slightly worse, since you get the Copper every time you play it.)

Dominion General Discussion / Re: Any ideas for a lower-variance Black Market deck?

« on: February 02, 2013, 04:40:57 pm »

If your concern is variance but you don't want to remove what Black Market does to the game, why not set the deck to have only cards from X expansion(s)? Or only Z amount of cards? (Obviously Z cannot be greater than the number of cards in X expansion(s)...)

Ever heard of negative numbers?

I think we can all agree that's quite unnatural.

Well they are rooted by imaginary numbers. And everyone knows that something can't be real and imaginary. (except my friends... Those are both)

It feels like Chancellor. You need a "set aside" place if you are trying to swap the two, otherwise everyone is just putting their deck into their discard.

Dominion General Discussion / Re: Random city question

« on: January 30, 2013, 02:59:49 pm »

It took me a while to figure out how I refer to City. I think I call it "City" when it's just the expensive Village, call it "Level 1 City" when it get's the first bonus, and "Level 2 City" with the 2nd bonus. So I go by the 0/1/2 but don't refer to the null level.

And space.

And money.
