Best Dominion Moments 2014

It's 2014 now, so it's time for the best Dominion Moments of 2014!

This thread is for showing off the funny and strange moments in Dominion where maybe something unusual happens, you get ridiculously lucky or unlucky, or anything you think is worthy of being shared. Remember to include the log! =)

Happy New Year and gl, hf!

Hmm, do we need a new thread every year any more? We initially did it because the best ones ended up going on the blog. But that's not the case any more, so... I dunno.

I guess there's no harm in it, though.

...spin-offs are still better for all of the previously cited reasons.
But not strictly better, because the spinoff can have a different cost than the expansion.

Why not just start a new thread as "Best Moments," with no year. Then it can run forever.

Ok, I'll start the year off then.

100% should have lost. I took Trusty Steed, not Followers when I think Followers was the better of the two in this game. But in the end I win by 1 point! Hooray!

End of Turn 16, down 42-0, suddenly got my cities + butcher/peddler working well, tie the game 68-68 on Turn 20. Best swing of VPs I can remember having :)

You could have won on your last turn had you activated the Cities (by emptying the Provinces) right after you drew your second Butcher.

Wow, I guess those are the silly mistakes you make when you haven't played Dominion for 3 months..

I wouldn't say that is a silly mistake, just something noticed by one of the top 10 Dominion players in the world.

Man. I had four strips of bacon yesterday. Was one automatically undercooked, one automatically overcooked? No, let's put a stop to that right here, all four strips were excellent.

Yeah, I have also missed out on a possible City win from a mid-turn upgrade before. It's not an easy thing to catch even for the best of us.

Eh, I disagree - I have found Stef to be pretty good at such things.

In a Masq/Hunting Grounds-BM game I played yesterday against jog, he Masqed me his Hovel. This allowed me a few turns later, after playing a Hunting Grounds, to trash TWO Hovels with my Province buy.

Too bad Goko didn't save the log.

Had my most elegant game on goko just last night.  Hopefully drunken sailor updates and I can post the log.  Key kingdom cards are Remake, Highway, Library, Worker's Village, Village, Squire and Moat.

On turn 10 of this game I was able finish the game by Remaking Coppers into Worker's Village, draw them, play Squires for +Buy to obtain $7 and 12 Buys allowing me to buy out the remaining 6 $1-cost Worker's Village, 3 $0-cost Villages, 2 $0-cost Squires and a single Estate for a 1 - 0 win.

Hello.  Name's Bruce.  It's all right.  I understand.  Why trust a shark, right?

Is quite curious - Who is the mystical "Celestial Chameleon"?

In which Qvist suffers catastrophic bad luck over the last four turns, causing me to tie from far behind with a vastly inferior (and outright bad due to greening) deck.

In those four turns, we have:
1a. Q is limited to a Duchy.
1b. I Counterfeit my Gold and sacrifice a Silver to pick up Farmland-Duchy.
2a. Q is limited to an Estate.
2b. I'm able to get a Farmland and turn my Remake into a new Gold, shuffling my deck.
3a. He Ghost Ships me, allowing me to leave one Silver for next turn while I Haven the other, and is limited to an Estate again.
3b. I have the Haven I need, a treasure to Haven, and the two useless Provinces to leave behind. All of these things are essential.
4a. He Council Rooms, allowing me to draw an extra card (which I need), and is limited to another Estate.
4b. I draw my Gold, my Counterfeit, both my Silver, and my Black Market (I only actually need two of the last three, since I can Farmland my Farmland if I don't have all three). I buy Province-Duchy to tie.

In which my opponent builds an unstoppable engine and possesses me every turn and am still able to an incredibly lucky comeback because
* there was only one buy
* he only bought one Possession
* he played a Vault before possessing me

I tried to get 2 Possessions and was able to play them, pile the Vaults and buy 2 Provinces for the win.
amalloy pointed out that in the single Possession turn I could have better (or worse) seeded his next hand, so I was totally lucky there.
I was so close in resigning, but managed to still win this. Never give up!

I know it's not that special, but still I had nearly perfect shuffle luck in this Workshop/Gardens rush where my Workshops only collided once.

If 8.5 turns isn't good enough 7.5 turns is clearly better. I can't remember seeing a log with a faster end.

This Hermit/Market Square game against AdamH was over so fast. I won the Hermit split, but he pulled the trigger and piled Estates for the win.

Amazing game, but please don't eat chips while doing this. I think it's fairly disgusting to listen to.

This is what I get for streaming for 4 hours and forgetting to eat anything all day, the 10 minutes I'm eating are probably one of the most amazing games I've played in a long time. Sorry  :(

...but at least my bro is there to stick up for me, right?  :P
