Whoops, I just dropped a Dominionism.

Do you ever find yourself accidentally using Dominion/f.ds terms or phrases in random situations?

Like today in class when we were passing around purple sheets of paper and I called out "Did everyone get a purple?"

I call other people opponents all the time. Though, it's not just because of Dominion, actually M:tG is more responsible for that.

I'm confused; what's "a purple"?

I seem to remember someone on here referring to clothes they're wearing on laundry day as "missing the reshuffle."

Multiple people have said that that's how they always refer to it now.

I think Gendo's point is that "purple" isn't a Dominion term officially or in the forums.  Victory cards are often referred to as "green", so there's a parallel there, but "green" is useful because it's shorter than "victory point card".  "Purple" is actually longer than "Curse".

The earliest instance of it that I know of is here.  That thread may contain other "Dominionisms".

Purples might just be one of my things. "Purples" has the same number of syllables as "Curses" and it's more fun for me to say :)

I've been saying "purple" in my IRL games since I started playing. It always seemed more playful.

This is the first I've seen it used! And it's longer for typing, especially in singular.  :P

I've taken to telling people if I'm going to participate or not participate in something by saying that I'm /in or /out, respectively.

I've taken to telling people if I'm going to participate or not participate in something by saying that I'm /in or /out, respectively.

I only know this symbology (the forward slash used ahead of a word) from forums, to end a quote, or end an italic section, or whatnot.  So in my alleged brain, it is sort of a negative, or stop.  Using it ahead of "in" or "out" would therefore seem to me to indicate the opposite of what is apparently being meant.  Can someone explain how this came to be?

I remember the first time I saw "/in" in a mafia signup.  I thought, "hmmm, this guy is stopping his in, so he's out".

Seems like a natural way to define a command for me.  Actually \in and \out makes more sense.  Like, in LaTeX, "\" escapes from regular text to give a command.  \alpha for the alpha character, etc.

I get that it's being used as a delineator, and that it signals a command.  The commands I see it on are limited, and are essentially toggles, so I would think that if it only signals a command, you would need to use it twice (e.g., /italics to start the use of italics, and /italics again to turn them off).

/ is common for switches and commands, like on DOS/Windows command lines and on IRC

Some other IM services use it too, like Skype.  Try "/me jumps and down giggling" on Skype

I can see "purple" being playful IRL games but I would never think to use it outside such a game

More on topic:  I played some deckbuilding game the other night in a game store having no experience with any deckbuilding game but Dominion.  It quickly became clear that every card that came into the marketplace was going to be different, and I had no idea of what to expect, with respect even to categories, much less synergies.  On about turn three, I bought a card from the fixed supply rather that the marketplace - it was a card that gave me more money to spend each turn.

Because it cost me 3 to buy, and gave me +2 currency each play, as I reached for it I mumbled "I'll just buy a silver". It was a card with a figure on it, and no silver to be seen anywhere, and the woman that played next looked at me like I was nuts.

Well to me "/" is just a standard inline fraction/slash (see what I did there?) and "\" is an escape character.

Not exclusively a Dominionism, but it is a phrase I picked up here (especially from AdamHs videos):
I have caught myself asking "is that a thing?"
