Turn 1 - Awaclus
A plays 5 Coppers.
A buys a Summon.
A gains an Ambassador.
A sets an Ambassador aside.

This is probably one of the strongest if not the strongest opening you can possibly make, especially as 1st player (which I was).

Not a best Dominion moment (which should be something fantastical and not likely to happen), but your statement is correct.

It's a 2-piece combination requiring a 5/2 (not 2/5) opening. That's something fantastical and not likely to happen.

When Awaclus posts something constructive and the thread devolves into pointless minutia anyway. If only there was a "Worst Uninteresting Moments 2017" thread to post it in.

It's very strong. I've seen it done three times in games I've played. None were constructed kingdoms.

Is it as dazzling to the eye as buying out all 8 Provinces in one turn? Or is it a hilarious blunder of immense proportions? This is what I mean by fantastical.

No, but I think it's more fantastical than

I had an opponent who kept complaining about shuffle luck the whole time, and I told him to calm down. He said he was fine, but then went ballistic on me, telling me it was just luck which was why I won. Sure. And when he wins, it's obviously not luck.

Because the latter is more common?

I'm sure many of you have encountered a player named Dominion cartel. He's pretty good at the game when he isn't just hitting buttons, but starts shouting in the chat almost every game about how he has bad luck and you are beating him by getting lucky. Any attempt to rationalize just leads to him driving the chat to further depths of insanity.

Well, today I managed to have a rational discussion with him by simply buttering him up, letting him know I was aware of his handiwork. He explained to me that he has been trolling because he thinks Goko/MF ruined Dominion online and now just wants to watch the world burn. I gave him some hope that the next one may be better, and it seemed to ease his heart.

Then he resigned the game and told me I won purely by getting lucky draws.

Yes, this just happened to me. It is very unpleasant to play with him.

You know, we should drop all these stupid modifiers and just have a "Dominion Moments" thread.

Could we actually do this? There are 3-4 threads with different modifiers for silly reasons, as far as I can remember, and they've all converged into the same kind of stuff.

Wait, what? Is this some time into the game, after you've played a Highway? How unlucky this is depends heavily on how many Coppers you've already trashed. It's not uncommon to open Silver/Moneylender and end up drawing Moneylender, Silver, Estate x3, and that's much worse than having it happen later.
