Didn't save the log but... Today I played a game with Alchemist and Chapel. Chapeled down to 3 coppers and a potion so I could buy an Alchemist every turn, opponent did the same, opponent bought the last one for a five-five split.

"Well, no more potion-cost cards on the board, guess I might as well chapel this potion to keep my deck trimmed..."

I then proceeded to have the least effective Alchemist stack ever.

This is my favourite!

(And Im glad someone else asked about that Pirate Ship because I was sitting here feeling dumb!)

by the end of turn 7 i had bought 4 gold and NinjaBus had bought 0. turn 8 NinjaBus buys a province with a gold and 3 silver.

i was thinking ahead of whether to get a province or to top deck a gold during turn 7. i guess i had gold on the mind because when i played my masquerade i passed a gold instead of a copper.

I had a recent game where I made my opponent discard a Copper when he played Envoy instead of a Gold because Masquerade was also on the board and I didn't stop to read which card was played.  That is definitely one to be careful with if those two are paired up.

I'm sure this has happened to plenty of people before, but yesterday I revealed a colony with Ambassador instead of my copper, whoops!

Did you realize your mistake before or after it asked "Return how many copies to the supply?"

Luckily before, although that's just because I had two coppers in hand and one colony, so the prompt for up to 1 instead of up to 2 alerted me.  Don't want to think about what would have happened if I had two of each in hand. *shudder*

I recently opened with Silk Road instead of Sea Hag due to a slip of the mouse.  Although I ended up coming back from that, Council Room indicates that such a move is generally ill-advised.

Lately I've been suffering from action laziness. If I have a terminal and a +Action-card in hand, my mind says "Hey, I can play all of these" and sometimes I even play the terminal first.  :(

There was a day a while back where I kept doing this.  It took me a few games too long to decide it really wasn't the right day to be playing.

Was playing a multi player game the other day with friends, and all 3 of them opened treasure map/silver.

We're all fairly new, and after another couple of turns of them not hitting it and me mocking them for buying a rubbish card I mistakenly blurted out
"Hey, didn't you guys realise there is a Chapel on the board"
Cue all of them instantly realising how handy that would be,  buying it the next turn and about 2 turns later they all hit thier treasure maps consistantly.

Just last night: Chose a terminal draw over a terminal +$, while I knew that I only had action cards left in my deck.

... I don't know how many I did in this game, but it sure was a lot.

http://dominion.isotropic.org/gamelog/201202/15/game-20120215-174540-9ec4a8ba.html

1) I ignored Lighthouses existence in the opening.. as 3rd player in a cutpurse game. I don't... I don't end up hitting 6$ till turn 13.

2) On turn 13, I know the remaining cards in my deck, and yet STILL don't play cutpurse before hunting party, causing my HP to shuffle through my deck and only draw one card. This killed my already nonexistent chances because instead of a Grand Market, I get a gold.
