General Discussion / AndrewisFTTW goes on tour!

« on: February 25, 2014, 12:30:35 am »

So I'm a full time musician, as in I make my living by playing and teaching music. I'm doing a lot of touring this spring/summer and thought it'd be cool to post the dates here in case anybody wanted to come out and hear some music. I'll be in FL a lot for some reason but I'm headed out to the midwest as well. More dates are pending possibly along the east coast and down south but here's where I'm going so far:

3/7 - Asheville, NC
3/8 - Marietta, GA
3/9 - Tallahasse, FL
3/11 - Sarasota, FL
3/13 - Dunedin, FL

General Discussion / Combo: Bacon & Eggs (& toast?)

« on: February 21, 2014, 12:56:30 pm »

Guaranteed a significant number of victory points in a short amount of time. I know, some of you might say the bacon slows you down. Indeed, like the coffee rush, it gives you the feeling of victory although victory has yet to be achieved. Thus, bacon is best when paired with something complimentary. Enter, eggs.

Eggs rock. Not only are they an excellent source of protein, eggs also contain important vitamins and minerals such as vitamins A, D, E, B6, B12, and calcium, phosphorus, zinc, thiamin, and folate, respectively. And the best part is, they work perfectly with bacon. See for yourself:

F T T W: 9am

F T T W cooks bacon
F T T W cooks eggs

F T T W: 10am

F T T W scores a ton of victory points

F T T W: 1pm

F T T W cooks bacon
F T T W cooks eggs

F T T W: 1:30pm

F T T W feels like a winner

F T T W: 6:30pm

F T T W cooks bacon
F T T W cooks eggs

F T T W: 6:45pm

F T T W immediately regrets eating bacon and eggs three times in one day, but feels like a champ anyway
F T T W wins life

DAY OVER

F T T W total victory points: a lot

Toast adds another dimension to this already ridiculous combo, though I haven't fully explored the possibilities. I would imagine an over medium egg would be necessary, perfectly balancing the cooked white with the runny yolk, and thus allowing the toast to soak up the yellowy goodness. But questions loom. What kind of toast is best? Wheat? White? Rye? Maybe some of the more experienced people can enlighten us.

So, in conclusion:

Bacon is good with:

• Eggs
• Toast

Bacon is not AS good with:

• No eggs
• No toast

Questions? Comments? I'm hoping this will make it onto the wiki.

Game Reports / Oh so THAT'S how you use outpost

« on: February 21, 2014, 12:03:04 pm »

I learned this one the hard way. I've never understood the point of outpost until now. I guess this also works with wharf, (with a village, obviously) haven, and possibly tactician? They probably show this very clearly in a premade set for Seaside but I've only played with base, alchemy, prosperity, and dark ages in real life. Are there any other "duh" combos that I'm missing out on because of this?

Help! / I know I could've won this one

« on: February 20, 2014, 04:37:43 pm »

I'm on a ridiculous losing streak and it's starting to get really frustrating. I don't want to spam this section of the forum but I might as well get some help. I'm clearly not playing nearly as well as I used to to. My rating has dropped significantly and I'm losing a lot more than I'm winning. I'm sure there are some finer points that I've forgotten somehow and hopefully you guys can clear them up for me.

This one was really close but I know that if I played a little differently I would've had the win. Maybe I could've gotten more goons? Skipped fools gold? Gotten madmen? I don't know. Are there any cards that work especially well together here? How do I know what to buy and what to skip? Obviously I'm very confused.

Game Reports / Fun with Merchant Guild

This worked out better than I thought and I didn't know what to do with myself. I probably messed around building way too much instead of ending it earlier but having about 40 coin tokens was just too much fun. I really just wanted more buys so I could buy a bunch of stuff because that's what Dominion is about, right? Playing a bunch of cool cards? Anyway, I'm sure you guys have some input about poor house type decks and I would appreciate it, as I haven't played many of them. Thanks.

EDIT: I wonder how rebuild would do against this engine?

Pretty cool game, close down to the very last turn and... oh I wont ruin it for you. See for yourself how lucky I got.

I underestimated Altar in this one and picked one up too late when I should've gotten a couple a lot sooner. I also picked up haggler too late I think. I knew heralds would be very important so I grabbed as many as I could and tried to focus on building the engine, picking up wishing wells instead of silver. The gold on turn 11 should definitely have been an altar. I didn't see apprentice or jack working here although I never really know when to pick up jack so I could be wrong. Let me know what you think.

Forum Games / Request for newbie mafia

« on: February 10, 2014, 09:42:38 pm »

Hey guys I know nobody is going to create a game just for me but I'm interested in trying mafia out. I've never played and I feel like I'd be completely lost joining one of the more complicated games. Any other new players out there that want to try it out?

Help! / Goons? Knights? Both?

« on: February 10, 2014, 03:05:42 pm »

Code: [Select]

Beggar, Pearl Diver, Trade Route, Feodum, Herald, Taxman, Catacombs, Junk Dealer, Knights, Goons
So I probably shouldnt've ended the game when I did as I was a lot closer than I thought I was. At that time I was just thinking "I suck at goons, I know it, and I just want to get this over with so I can post it on the forum and learn a little bit". I played something like this earlier and got destroyed. I tried to recreate this board from memory because I don't think the log is up yet but anyway, I think the only major difference was the original board had salvager instead of trade route, and a couple other cards may be off but that's not that important.

Anyway, I knew from the previous game that herald and goons is big, but knights trashing heralds can devastate that. In this game my junk dealer got trashed early and I forgot to pick up another one until it was too late. But how important is trashing here? Is trashing worth it and if so would you go junk dealer or trade route/salvager? I thought junk dealer just because I wanted the least amount of terminals that I could get. I don't think goons and herald can be ignored but should knights be ignored? How does catacombs fit in? And in this specific game where did I go wrong? Thanks.

EDIT: I'm thinking silver/silver would've been a better opening.

Help! / Ok. I'm lost.

« on: February 06, 2014, 12:46:29 pm »

This one is embarrassing, I had no idea what I was doing. My opponent seemed a little lost too until she picked up the treasure maps. I guess sometimes you gotta suck it up and go big money. Maybe the title of the thread should be "Real men play big money". What do you guys think? Any chance for shanty town/stables/squire or something like that?

General Discussion / Bond. James Bond.

« on: February 04, 2014, 04:00:03 pm »

This is something that nobody needs to know, but I'm going to tell you anyway. I'm a big James Bond fan, at least of the "official" Eon produced films. And thus, since I have nothing better to do, I'll now rank all 23 films in order from worst to best. Use this thread to make your own list, discuss the films or the books or anything else related to James Bond, but mainly just humor me because I've always wanted to make this list.

23 - Die Another Day
22 - On Her Majesty's Secret Service
21 - Moonraker
20 - Tomorrow Never Dies
19 - The World is Not Enough
18 - The Living Daylights
17 - Licence to Kill
16 - A View to a Kill
15 - Octopussy
14 - Quantum of Solace
13 - For Your Eyes Only
12 - Diamonds Are Forever
11 - Live & Let Die
10 - Skyfall
9 - The Man With the Golden Gun
8 - Casino Royale
7 - Goldeneye
6 - Thunderball

I'm pretty sure the engine was strong enough here despite the poor draw and TR as the only village. Also, the curses didn't seem to slow him down as much as I hoped they would. By the end of the game he still had 5 or 6 and was still producing a good amount of money. I think I could've picked up a couple more witches and schemes. For some reason I wasn't even thinking about draw as much as linking conspirators even though it's a colony/platinum game. When I started stalling I realized my mistake.

My questions are 1) would you go for the engine here? and 2) if yes, how would you have gone about building it? Thanks.

EDIT: Sorry for posting a game that I won in this forum but I know I can always do better win or lose and I value your opinions. If you feel this is inappropriate I can take it down.

EDIT#2: I'm also sorry for being computer illiterate but can someone tell me how to post the cards here and also how to get a link to color coded logs? I just copy and post the link that shows up after the game. Thanks!

Game Reports / Goons slog...?

« on: February 02, 2014, 09:58:25 pm »

Here's a more interesting one than the last one. Not necessarily a slog but it felt like it. At the time I felt like I got off to a slow start. Looking back at the logs it doesn't really look like that but I felt like I was behind for most of the game. I think my biggest mistake was not buying a potion earlier in the game and getting a few golems. I had a feeling they'd be important and I should've had more than a feeling (more than a feeling: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SSR6ZzjDZ94). I knew I had a chance when I saw my opponent buying coppers with the extra goons buys. I was hoping that would be my saving grace.The salvagers paid off later although I'm sure I could've utilized them better. What do you guys think?

Game Reports / Mistrel/Tunnel mirror

« on: February 02, 2014, 05:42:14 pm »

Maybe not the most interesting game but I think I'll take advantage of this section and analyze anyway. It was pretty close, I think he built a little too much instead of going for provinces when he had a good amount of gold already. Anybody have any input? Also, sorry about not having a link to the log. The past couple games I've played there was no new window with the log and link when I click on the log even though I'm using scavenger. Any info about that?

General Discussion / Song of the day

« on: February 02, 2014, 03:48:34 am »

Some basic guidelines:

-One song per person per day
-All genres and languages welcome
-Discussion and mature debate about specific artists, genres, or anything else music related is encouraged
-Have some sort of a reason for posting a specific song. For example: "I woke up with this stuck in my head", "The theme from Golden Girls is a masterpiece of American music. Here it is looped for 24 hours. Make sure you listen to the whole thing", or "This Michael Buble song was playing in the supermarket today so I decided to spontaneously reenact the music video. It didn't work so well".

I think that's about all that needs to be said. Let's hear some music!

Introductions / Hi, I'm Andrew...

« on: January 31, 2014, 02:44:07 pm »

...otherwise known as F T T W. I'm sure some of you have seen me around on Goko and have probably mercilessly beaten my ass while primarily focusing on flossing your teeth (does anyone actually floss?). Anyway, here's my brief story:

I moved in with my girlfriend a few months back and one of the dudes that lives in the house introduced me to Dominion, regularly laying the smackdown on me whenever I dared challenge him. Thus I developed an unhealthy obsession with Dominion, similar to the unhealthy obsession I developed with Magic as an early teen, and Runescape as a mid-teen, and chess as a late teen... I'm sensing a pattern here. Anyway, I can now beat my housemate most of the time but I feel the need to improve and learn more about this game and this forum seems to be a wealth of information and resources for every level of player.

As for personal life, I'm 25 and I live in Maryland. By night I'm a full time musician, by day I'm a frustratingly mediocre Dominion player.

Well then, I guess that's about it. See you on Goko!
