What am I missing? By my understanding, Donald found out about the latest delay some time around May 6th-9th, but Jay only said something public on BGG today, a couple of weeks later.

Or am I confused about who meant what, when, how and why? Are those my feet?

If you want, you can pretend that "only" 3 cards were previewed per day, and count the other previews as bonuses. Wow, 17 bonus previews. He really does care.

Perhaps people would feel like there were more previews and be happier if only one card was revealed each day?  That way, they could have more days where they wake up and think "I get to discover a new card today!"

I found out the release date slipped on Friday, after posting the teasers.
Hmm. It would have been nice if somebody had gone public about that delay, once it was known. /-8
I found out about the initial delay that Friday, not the most recent delay, which I found out about yesterday.

I weighed it in my mind. Who do I want to be better friends with... Jay? crj? Somehow I went with Jay.

And I mean. Telling people exactly what the delay was, at the time, meant being wrong extra times. It was pushed back a few days, then a few days more, then a few days more.

So, how about another bonus preview next week so we'll survive another week without Empires? :)
I guess this is just something people aren't going to get tired of saying.

I could have delayed the previews; I found out the release date slipped on Friday, after posting the teasers. Should I have pushed back the previews? Any takers?

I could have just not had previews at all; then there wouldn't be this gap here between previews and release. Any takers for that?

I am not going to just continue to preview cards. I don't care how many takers there are for that. If you want, you can pretend that "only" 3 cards were previewed per day, and count the other previews as bonuses. Wow, 17 bonus previews. He really does care.

I apologize if I gave off the wrong vibes here. It was my weird and indirect way of saying I can't wait to finally get my hands on it!

At the moment I just felt like a child that gets told on Christmas Eve that my parents decided to use the Julian calendar instead, hence my impatience ;)

It's okay, you were just the one at the front of the line when I found a moment to reply to one of these.

Next time there's an expansion coming out, post the release date as being way out there, like 2019. Then keep moving it up and everyone will be happy.

Or don't even announce the next expansion until it is already in stores. :P

Man. I had four strips of bacon yesterday. Was one automatically undercooked, one automatically overcooked? No, let's put a stop to that right here, all four strips were excellent.

Say it ain't so! You can come play with me. It can't be more than like a 25 hour drive.

No. We were informed of each delay as they occurred.

It was only said partly in jest. Sometimes it's all about expectation management.

That would be hilarious if Donald just released a set without announcing it.

Also sales would be bad. Advertising and building hype is important for pretty much every business.

So what you're saying is these delays are a calculated business decision to build hype.

Yes, but that's also boring and completely expected.

No, in the case of Dominion, I suspect that would increase sales.  "What crazy stuff might be in this box!?"

Realistically, I don't think I'd agree with you in terms of promotion. However, I don't know how much advertising Dominion gets, because I never see a Dominion ad. Rio Grande just announces a set will come out, and people know. If Rio Grande released the game and announced it when they did, I wonder how poorly that would actually affect sales.

It's a pity we can't have Kanye West twerking with Dominion logo on their naked butt. Would have been nice for sales.

Uh... the intersection between people who'd want to see Kanye West twerk and people who want to play Dominion must be essentially zero, surely?

That's one of the things I like about Dominion.

Kanye West - Reaction: When another player gains a Victory card, I'm really happy for you, I'ma let you finish, but name a Victory card. That is now one of the best Victory cards of all time.

Kim Kardashian
+1 Action
Each player may reveal a Kanye West from his hand. If you do, discard it and gain an Intercardinal Direction (from the Intercardinal Direction pile) or gain a duchy, putting it on top of your deck.
If no-one else does,  +1 card, +1$.
