So...why are people arguing about whether online Dominion needs a log?

They aren't; they're arguing about how accessible the log needs to be.

[Minotaur]

Psychologically, I feel like we're wired to easily process Dominion on the IRL server much more fluidly.  Simulating it on the computer is either too cumbersome with the wait times all fake-feeling and in the wrong places, or too flipping fast.  The only downside of the fast version is that it takes a good log to catch everything.  Sure, a log with a bad interface is still usable, but I could play Dominion in real life using just my left hand, too (including shuffling), and I haven't been pushing for that to become a rule or anything...

When you gain, discard, or trash this card, you may only use your left hand to move it.

Strictly Better Than Goko

You may sacrifice a goat.  If you do, you may play on Isotropic.

Man, I thought MF was going to make an all-new version. This looks like Goko just with more junk. Seriously, they spent almost a year and a bunch of money for what?

Yeah I'm confused/disappointed too... I thought "new version" meant brand new; completely unrelated to what currently exists in Goko. I didn't think the look and feel would be the same at all.

I'm not disappointed that it looks mostly the same; I like the Goko interface other than the log and chat. Mostly I'm pissed that they didn't fit Ruins and the Bane onto the main page (in case I haven't complained enough about that already).

Nope you have not complained enough. I hate how ruins are on a separate page. It makes it harder to track runs and sometimes you need to actually buy ruined market

In response to a comment about matchmaking, Making Fun has said,

"Fresnel, one of the launch features of the 2.0 version will be a completely new multiplayer matching system where players "seek" opponents based on criteria rather than a physical table model. "

It's a start...

Depending on what the 'criteria' are, it's exactly what I want.

lol. Have you guys seen that the video they have on streamlight to promote the video is the one that Total Biscuit made

[Watno]

That's really funny because he says it's still in Beta, even though it wasn't at the point he made the video.

I hate playing against opponents that have smaller feet than I do.

I've only ever met I think two people that have larger feet than I do.

The criteria is that you're sitting at the same table...

You keep everything.  Thing of it as a carbon copy of the current system, because that's roughly what it is.

[GreyICE]

So they went from a web program to a standalone install?

What's next, for their update they mail me a CD?  Do I get version 3 on floppy disk?

I just wanted to greenlight this after MF explaining what they're actually doing, but it turns out it has already been accepted.

Will Dominion Online in-fact be on Steam in 2017? Geeze it certainly makes smart business sense. Opens up it to the world of gaming.
