Opponent has ~25 points, I have ~10 points, there are ~25 points left on the board.  Opponent went basically Death Cart-Big Money with Forager support and has slowed down, I've just gotten Followers and Princess from the Tournament pile and hit him with Followers, having taken all the Saunas and four of the Avantos.

Opponent: "Please just resign"
Me: "Unless you have a definite Province on the next two turns, I have plenty of room to win."

Two minutes later, with Duchies and Estates gone, opponent has the opportunity to win by buying the last Avanto, but doesn't notice it at first, and asks for the undo after buying something else.

Because of the "just resign" comment, I denied it.  What would you have done?

[Lekkit]

I PROBABLY would've granted the undo. I guess it kind of depends on if I had a bad day. People who are like that won't really change because you deny them an undo request. If anything it will probably only get worse.

But getting back at someone can feel good too, so I get that.

[Awaclus]

If it was still their turn, I would have granted it for sure. If it was my turn and I was already playing it, no.

[silverspawn]

I think don't grant either way because of his comment. Otherwise I'd agree with Awaclus.

[silverspawn]

So what happens if you tie a game? Does the higher rater player lose rating?

Yeah.

Earlier today I had a song stuck in my head that I heard a few months ago, so I looked it up on Youtube. It started up, name of song and authors. I recognised one of the names as one of my friends. So of course I quickly messaged her on Facebook. Turns out I'd had a song stuck in my head that was written by one of my (and Joseph2302's) friends, and I had no idea she'd even written a song. (For privacy reasons I won't share the song name/friend name, sorry).

[gkrieg13]

Wait, but I know Joseph2302, so she is my friend of a friend!

I demand to be PMed the details!

So, I ran across Asper's cards on BGG, and I recognized his username there. Turns out he had been in the discussion for Smash Up: Oops You Did It Again with me. It's weird I didn't notice that before.

wpm?

i'm at 80ish

[pingpongsam]

60ish last I checked which is incredible considering I look at the keyboard and only use a total of 6 fingers. I never took any classes but I was using computers before most people in general.

[pacovf]

I think I used to be in the mid 300s *taps* per minute back when I practiced. Much slower now though, and the onset of autocorrect means that I don't type as precisely as I used to any more.

I was never able to type numbers without looking at the keyboard though.

[Awaclus]

I just took a test and got this result:




I'm using my laptop's shitty keyboard though, which doesn't register double taps properly, requires more strength and doesn't feel as good as a basic office keyboard. IIRC I got something like 115 or 120 when I tested with one of those a few years ago EDIT: but that was also a different test, that probably makes some difference too.

[theory]

I average around 130.  My best TypeRacer score ever was 157wpm.

[silverspawn]

uh is there a way to play a dominion board for both sides? If I want to test out strategy X vs Y?

[Watno]

Play with two accounts (using a private/incognito browser window foor one to get around your session being cookied)

I mean if you are having trouble keeping the decks separate, I guess you could put them on opposite sides of the table and move yourself, but I usually just have one deck to the right and one to the left.

[pingpongsam]

took the Awaclus posted test and scored 60 WPM. Clearly haven't improved in several years but haven't gotten any worse either. Zero errors...

60ish last I checked which is incredible considering I look at the keyboard and only use a total of 6 fingers. I never took any classes but I was using computers before most people in general.

I just took Awaclus's test and got 75 WPM (377 CPM, no mistakes), and I type with 3 fingers (both index fingers and my right middle finger). I don't look at the keyboard, though. It's weird what kinds of habits people develop with no formal typing training.

[pacovf]

That's more than two keys per finger per second. That's impressive.

I'm actually surprised you can get that high with just three fingers. I thought I'm pretty good at one-handed writing since that's how I do it on a mobile phone, but I can still only get 47 WPM using the five fingers of my right hand.

I use eight fingers plus the right thumb, I never had any training either.

I assume you know that but I was talking about online dominion

Oh you're back? I'd better add you as a friend.

[Kirian]

Man, 62 wpm, I apparently ma not nearly as good as I thought I was.  Then again, I don't touch type, well, sort of, I can touch type somewhat but it increases my mistakes a ton.  So my wpm is much higher working from my brain or from speech rather than from words presented on the screen.
