You may play any number of Coppers from your hand right now. | When another player plays a Copper, you may reveal this from your hand. If you do, remove that Copper from play and put it into your hand.
This card might not be that bad, actually.
I just played a game with Island. I also had a Tactician and Ironworks with Laboratories, so I quickly bought up all the Islands and auctioned them off with my Estates and Coppers, while my opponent simply trashed his Coppers with Moneylender. Overall, he had the better deck, but since I bought up all those Islands and stashed them away early, using Tactician's extra action lending, I was able to pressure my opponent to buy Provinces quickly, which he was not able to do because I could tie and still win. So Island isn't TERRIBLE, but man you'd better have the right deck for it. As is with all cards.
I was worried for a second when you said "bought" the islands. When I checked the log, I saw that you never actually bought an island, you gained them all from ironworks. Which is the correct thing to do here. However, imagine the situation on the board without ironworks here. You are never going to actually spend a buy getting an island on this board. (well, maybe late game if you have an awkward 4 or something) So the point is that ironworks enabled island to be a good card on the board. Which is true for any card. There will always be games where even the worst cards are able to shine. And island isn't even one of the worst cards (37/57 for 4-cost cards)

Look at the top card of your deck. Put it back.

You may trash a card from your hand that is a Treasure.
Back in the summer, I was in a tense game of Mafia. IIRC there was a cop, no doctor, 3 mafia. I was one of them. We ended up lynching Mafia on the first day because she made a really huge slip up. She became one of the targets of suspicion and got flustered enough to fakeclaim cop. Most people started backing off (partially led by me, of course) but some were still doubtful so she tried to bolster her claim by giving a cop result -- she investigated that person and found her to be a regular townie. Except... it was the first day. No night yet, thus no chance of an investigation at all. Obvious lie, easy lynch.
Mafia was on the backfoot from then on. I can't remember if the cop got a positive result before being eliminated, but I did have to vote against my remaining partner at one point. But I managed to talk my way out of some sticky situations. I managed to sway the deciding vote to my side to keep myself in the game, and then I chose to target her rather than either of the people who had been against me. And then I used that to turn one of those doubters against the other, for the win. It was easily the best performance I'd ever had in a Mafia game.
Vote: faust for not voting for someone who did it before me.
Like chairs. Vote: chairs. This that I just mentioned is just icing on the cake.
To be fair, "why don't we no-lynch?" is a question that a lot of newbies ask. And that fact that you're asking these questions is what's making me lean towards the opinion that you're town, since a newbie scum player is more likely to have received some coaching in the scum QT before the game.
Venture plays the treasure it finds, and Counterfiet only works on treasures in your hand.
Welcome!Basically, I've been stalking you all for some time. Well, long enough to almost join that Dominion League thingy. I missed it I think.
There's a chance to join the League every 6 weeks or so, so you can still join if you want to.
Well, he did join the forums at pretty much the worst possible time for the League, since a new season just recently started so now it's going to take a while before people currently not in the League can get in.
yes, if I've done the Maths right, then I think the next season starts on 1-2 February.
We have a finite number of lynches, and giving one up gives scum an extra NK. If we lynch, there's a chance that we hit scum and a chance we hit town. If we give the kill to scum, there's a 100% chance that it will be a town player.
