zxcvbn2 advances because he has the most 3rd place placings?

No, its the top four performers overall from all the pods that advance.

You can do it with Warehouse instead of Cellar, as it draws nothing.

Warehouse only lets you discard three, at one point he needs to discard five. Probably Vault would be a good replacement.

Also, when you KC - masqerade the second time, don't you have another masquerade in hand? So you would have to pass that, and this would decrease the number of cards you burn and make it an incomplete pin.

Simulation / Re: How many stashes do you want in Chancellor/Stash?

« on: June 02, 2012, 07:07:42 pm »

Having two cards to draw chancellor (3 stashes) doesn't double your chances compared to one (four stashes). Flipping two coins doesn't double your chance of seeing heads compared to one coin.

On the silver thing, I don't know the answer, but having silver does make duchy buys more likely on your non stash turns.

Variants and Fan Cards / Re: The anti-Governor/Fool's Gold counterpart

« on: May 22, 2012, 05:44:25 pm »

You're right, its a fair comparison to make for evaluating the card. There's just no need to use the word "strictly" here, which implies the first copy is better than gold in all situations. Its a nitpicky point, but words are useless if we don't use them consistently.

Variants and Fan Cards / Re: The anti-Governor/Fool's Gold counterpart

« on: May 20, 2012, 03:44:50 pm »

It's a bad thing that the first copy of this is strictly better than Gold :/

In Dominion, cards with different costs can't be "strictly better/worse" than each other because of trash for benefit cards. Even if Loot was just a $5 Gold it wouldn't be "strictly better".

Dominion Isotropic / Re: First player bias

« on: May 02, 2012, 08:21:48 pm »

So long as each player wants to do his best, and second place "counts" more than third, I think there is very little room for collusion or kingmaking in 3 player Dominion. Not zero, but very little.

Making second place worth more than third doesn't necessarily reduce kingmaking. As tlloyd mentioned earlier, this could allow a person in first to choose who gets second/third (I guess this is actually princemaking). This could be a strategic decision or a petty one. And it doesn't address situations where a person's actions don't improve his final standing but do decide the positions of the other two.

I can't say how often these situations come up, but I have seen it happen (and done it) in some multiplayer games.
