Let's Discuss ... / Let's Discuss Base Set Cards: Laboratory
« on: April 07, 2016, 10:08:46 pm »

That's no hydroxyl ion, that's my wife!

-How does this card compare to Smithy/Village draw?
-Has this card gotten stronger or weaker with all the draw cards?
-Any cool things to be done with Adventures?

Man, I can't wait to exit Base Set.

Game Reports / Schadd & The Amazing Herald

In this game, I could not connect a single Herald all game. I think part of the reason is bad shuffles, but I think the primary thing was his Oracles just gave me bad hands. We split Heralds 5/5, I don't see much I could have done. He had 5/2, I had 4/3. Was even buying Silver just a bad idea? I feel like I completely bungled this board, but I don't have the eyes to see it.

Dominion General Discussion / New Best & Worst Openings?
« on: April 07, 2016, 12:50:32 pm »
I know there's that old Council Room website with openings, but there's no Dark Ages, there will be no Adventurers, no Guilds, and soon, no Empires. Mountebank/Chapel is a fantastic opening, but I would think Urchin/Urchin gives it a run for it's money for best opening. I guess since there's no real way to gauge statistics to my knowledge at the moment, we can speculate.

"The best way to garden is to put on a wide-brimmed straw hat and some old clothes.  And with a hoe in one hand and a cold drink in the other, tell somebody else where to dig."

-Best times to get Gardens?
-Any new enablers for Gardens in Adventures?
-Is Gardens the best Alt-VP in the game, pound for pound?
-Is Gardens weaker or stronger in today's meta?

Let's Discuss ... / Let's Discuss Base Set Cards: Feast
« on: April 05, 2016, 07:20:34 pm »

Feast: It's what's for dinner.

-Is it ever worth going for Feast on an opening over Silver?
-Is this one of the worst Dominion cards of all time?
-Is a scenario where Feast is simply incredible to get? (I'm going to say no)

I can't wait to get out of Base Set.

Who will take the Draw to Mordor?

-How much of a let down is giving your opponent an extra card with every play?
-Is this card better to play in Big Money or an engine?
-How many do you want to optimally play due to the penalty?
-Why is this card sometimes overlooked? After all, it has the incredible Hunting Grounds draw for cheaper, and with +buying power.

Let's Discuss ... / Let's Discuss Base Set Cards: Chapel
« on: April 03, 2016, 10:13:42 pm »

With two terrible cards introduced in Adventurer and Bureaucrat, and one mediocre card in Cellar, we as a forum have finally reached one of the big power cards of Dominion, especially in the beginning of it all: Chapel.

A funny story: I first played Dominion when it was introduced to me by my high school programming teacher, who said that he was excellent at the game (wish I could play him now). So he organized this whole board game thing after school, and all the kids got together and had a rowdy good time. I played my first game, and there was Chapel on the board. I thought to myself how stupid that card was, and instead just bought Villages all game like an idiot. Well, as it turned out, the guy who bought Chapel won handily, so of course I got taught my first lesson in Dominion: Trashing is powerful. That game also drove me to look up strategies on how to get good, which is how I came to be here.

Okay, enough boring you. On to the questions:

-Has this card gotten weaker with the advent of new trashers?
-Any times opening Chapel/Something is NOT the correct move?
-Any unconventional uses of Chapel? Any cool stuff with tokens?
-Best Chapel/X openings?
-Is this card still good at $3? Is $2 a good price point, or is it too strong?

Game Reports / I learned something great today.
« on: April 03, 2016, 09:10:00 pm »


Code: [Select]
Pawn, Conspirator, Envoy, Scout, Bandit Camp, Hunting Party, Mandarin, Outpost, Hoard, Prince
http://dominion-game-logs.s3.amazonaws.com/game_logs/20160403/log.0.1459726618757.txt

Dunno how to make it look nice until the log gets refreshed.

In this game, I learned how silly a Princed Envoy can be if you land it: 5 Provinces in 12 turns. That's INSANE. Well, to be fair, he did get Outpost and bought Province twice every time he used it, but still.

So obviously, I got owned. Did my opponent get lucky? Was he on to something here? Were the odds of landing this near 0 for him? Was there something better I could have been doing? I was going for a Conspirator/Pawn chain sort of thing, and I was building for double Province buys.

« on: April 02, 2016, 10:25:50 pm »

A face not even a mother could love.

-How good is this card? Early game? Late game?
-How often do you want to trigger the discard effect?
-Any reason to want more than one?
-With the advent of Events, is there cool new stuff you could do, like top deck things or tokens?

inb4 Awaclus says Scavenger is just loads better. Which it is.

-Any Engine uses?
-Any other uses for Cellar, besides Tunnel activation?

-Any use in an Engine?

« on: March 27, 2016, 11:13:07 pm »

Still a better Lex Luthor than Jesse Eisenberg.

-How does this card compare to Baron? Is it better?
-How harmful is the penalty of not using $2 to get the card back?
-Is this card better in Big Money, or an Engine?
-How many Wine Merchants do you want in both cases?
-How does this card rank among other $5 costs?

Dominion General Discussion / Dominion Cards You Hate
« on: March 24, 2016, 01:59:36 pm »
I despise Rebuild. Simply despise it. But a card I hate even more? Treasury. I just don't like it at all. I hate buying it. It doesn't even seem all that good. Wow, an extra $1 for $5. Yippee.

On a side note, I don't actually hate Black Market. In fact, I rather like it.

This Mafia Game is RMM. Set-up information is in the second post.


The Golden Rule

Please note that what you are playing is a a form of play or sport, usually undertaken for enjoyment. In sort, what you are playing is a game. Unless you are Kiefer Sutherland or Samuel Jackson, no one should be pointing fingers, getting angry, or in general dropping out of the game. Just sit tight, type a lot, and have fun!

Please read The Civility Pledge before signing up for any mafia game on this site.  If you have not /pledged there, you may not play on this Mafia game, or any other.

Excessive and systemic breaking of the Golden Rule after warnings are issued will be dealt with by whatever the situation calls for, including being modkilled.

General Rules

1. Don’t talk about this game outside of what is allowed, which is potential QTs and the thread itself. No PMs, Skype, etc. Obviously once the game is over, you can ignore this rule.
2. If the thread is locked, don’t post until it is unlocked again.
3. Don’t quote what the mod tells you directly in QTs or PMs. You are allowed to say what is decreed in your own words.
4. If in doubt, the order of Night actions will always defer to town actions beforehand, third party afterwards, and then finally scum. In the cases of two conflicting town/scum/3rd party actions, which command was sent first will happen first.
5. All night actions must be submitted within 24 hours of day ending. If you get drunk, forget and post a minute after the deadline, sorry.
6. Players must post once every 24 hours. If you do not post and it gets to the point where it’s hindering the game, the players may request a replacement.
7. Don’t post in weird ways that might hinder or obstruct anything that is said. This includes tiny text and spoiler tags. If in doubt, don’t do it. And for God’s sake, this isn’t Spy Kids. Don’t try and be a badass spy and use codes and cryptography. It ruins the integrity of the game and will be severely punished.
8. If someone gets lynched, the thread isn’t immediately locked. All parties may continue to communicate until the thread it locked.
9. Once the thread is locked and the death is officially reported, that player may not post again in the thread or QT (unless stated otherwise) until the game is over.

Voting Rules

1. Votes should be in this format: Vote: Playername. Only exact names or reasonable nicknames that actually shorten the amount of typing will be counted. If you miss a colon or don’t spell correctly, it will not be counted. If you are voting, bold the vote. Otherwise, it will not be counted.
2. Unvotes should be in this format: unvote or Unvote: Playername, and must be bolded.
3. Unvotes are not required if changing your vote from one player to another.
4. You are allowed to vote for a no lynch like so: Vote: No Lynch.
5. When a majority vote on a person is reached (rounded up), that person is a goner.
6. If someone is not lynched as per last rule by the deadline, no lynch will occur and everybody will be happy until the storm clouds of night approach.

The Rest

1. Bold red text belongs to the Mods. Players may not use it.
2. If there is a problem a problem, send me a PM. Please don’t say anything about it in the thread.
3. Screw-ups happen. If you think there is one, PM it to me. I’ll get right on it.
4. If I screw up in a game-breaking way, I will decide what to do, which may include calling the entire game off.
5. Basically, ask me anything you need to know via PM, be it roles or anything else. If it’s general rules questions, you can even post it in the thread.
6. Though covered before, it’s worth mentioning again. If a player does not post after 24 hours, players may request a prod, done in the same way as a vote, in bold. If a player does not respond within 24 hours of a prod, the other players may request a replacement. If no replacement is found, the player may be modkilled.
7. All final punishments in-game will be dealt with by me in whatever I see necessary.

Okay, the rules are over. Prepare your body for the game ahead!

« on: July 27, 2015, 12:07:29 am »
Hi there. I'm going to try my hand at making my own cards, but instead of posting specific 'sets', I will likely post card ideas that are a bit raw and a decent starting point with a sort of theme, and then whittle down and introduce things down until I think they're good enough. Once that happens, I'll add them to the post below as a nice looking shiny card. Anyways, I already have some ideas, and I'll post them.

God, this entire game was just total s**t. Molly was the only +action, and my opponent got lucky, got her from me on a bad turn, and then trashed everything I had with no prospects of me coming back, despite getting ahead.

What are your bad Dominion games?

Code: [Select]
Chapel, Masquerade, Oracle, Coppersmith, Mining Village, Scout, Band of Misfits, Harvest, Knights, Market

This is probably one of the worst games I've ever played. I had no prospects of coming back.

Like, I was constantly behind on Knights, and I had no way to coming back at all. In the end, my opponent had two knights and I had nothing. My only question is this: would buying copper here be good?

Feedback / F.DS Skins
« on: June 21, 2015, 11:54:34 pm »
Before you go bananas, my suggestion isn't to have some tiger stripes or cougar spots. I just think it would be cool to have the exact same design, except maybe in shades of red, black or green instead of blue. I think colors would be a bit more interesting. I don't think I want something like art spewed all over the page of Scout and Harem, for example. That makes me shiver.

Code: [Select]
Vineyard, Crossroads, Lighthouse, Storeroom, Cutpurse, JackOfAllTrades, Inn, Laboratory, Merchant Ship, Outpost

This flies in the face of everything I was ever taught in Dominion. How on earth did this guy win? I feel like he got VERY lucky, but that can't be it, can it?

My Jacks collided every single time. That hurt for sure. But I guess 1st Duchy was more important than 3rd Gold?

Gear and Dungeon are interesting Duration cards. Suppose both these cards are on the board. Which will you get in certain scenarios? Any interesting combos in general with these cards?
