No more lurking for Nana-King
« on: January 08, 2016, 03:47:52 pm »

Hello!

I just found out about this "introductions" section so I thought it was due time to introduce myself to the forum.  I've been playing Dominion since 2013 but started playing more seriously last year.  I have been on the forum for awhile but have just been lurking.  My husband and I played in the Dominion tournament at U-Conn in Ypsilanti where we met a number of f.ds players.  Since everyone was so great I have decided to do more than lurk around this site.

Some basic info:
-I start almost every day with a bowl of cereal, coffee, and 4-5 games of online Dominion.
-I would bet that my husband (grsbmd) and I play more IRL Dominion than 98% of Dominion players.
-I'm awful at using Fools Gold but love playing with Counterfeit and Goons.
-I refuse to buy any of the sets online out of principal. So I appreciate Making Fun giving everyone Prince which makes base games more interesting. 
-That's one of the few good things I will ever say about Making Fun.

What kind of cereal?  What kind of coffee?  Do you buy whole beans or ground?  Drip coffee, french press, espresso?

Really, you're going to need to be a little more precise for this forum.

98% more than other Dominion players? Are you sure you don't play IRL Dominion 90-93% more than everyone else?

He's just saying that he plays IRL Dominion far more than people think.

And how do you know what she's trying to say? She's been militant from the start, and by from the start I mean after we started being militant to her.   :P

The cereal changes sometimes it's healthy sometimes it's essentially pure sugar.  My coffee is always fresh ground made with a pour over, the blends change but I prefer local roasters.

We are approaching 500 games in one year that we have tracked.  That doesn't include games with other people or the first two weeks after we got Adventures.  So I would bet we are above 93% but the odds don't seem great that we are above 98%.  Knowing you, I'm sure you meant that question to be 100% serious and not rhetorical.

You know, Dominion cards are primarily written with masculine pronouns. So I wasn't completely wrong?

This is acceptable.  Carry on.

If her username was 'Counterfeit' or 'Scout,' then you wouldn't have been completely wrong. But you could argue that males and females are so similiar, you could also argue that the words 'he' and 'she' are so similar, or you could argue for the sake of arguing. It's all good.

Unfortunately, in English, the gender-neutral pronoun is still "he" which is probably one of the worst choices. I have used "zhe" many times in my life to great success, but even as I type it, I get the red squiggly.

Oh, and hi, nana-king <3

singular "they" is winning this war.
