Man, that touches.

You know, I have another little story of myself which somehow is similar.

Me and my friend are living in Russia. Here, we have only two sets translated: Base and Intrigue (they don't translate even Intrigue now). And two of us are the only ones who play among all of our friends, girlfriends and so on. And the saddest part is, that on every party or meeting new people the first thing I wanna know is whether they will be interested in such a great game. But always I have two responses: either they know nothing and do not want to, or thay played only base and it was no fun to them because quote "Dominion? Oh, it's not so strategic, you just play village and smithy then village and so on". By the way I have all the expansions for real!

I would like to take part in some real-life tournaments or just meet some great people from this forum and play, but I dunno will it ever happen. Just so.

Welcome to the forums! I look forward to seeing you around here. I'm glad to hear that Dominion has had a positive impact on your life; it certainly has on mine.

I started by following AdamH's stream and channel (man, why doesn't he appear around here? - you guys seem cool enough)

It's a long and sad story, don't ask

This thread has brought a tear of nostalgia to a veteran Dominion player's eye...

Also, on behalf of all the people who have about 4000 more posts than me, welcome to the forums!

Venomoth is awesome. Welcome to the forums!

I read a little bit of it then clicked away because I thought you were just another Scour hater.

But woah and behold, it wasn't an article on how Scout was so terrible. It was a feels trip.

Welcome to the forums!

Welcome to the forum!
I was 100% sure that this would be someone joking about how seeing the unsettling inelegance of Villa and Crown cast them in a deep pit of despair, but instead we got a real story and a good one to boot.
I hope you'll enjoy your stay here. Beware of pointless arguments.

A touching story indeed.

For me, it kind of stood out that you went off more "passive" activities like watching films and operating electronic Skinner boxes playing video games around that time, but you were drawn back out into the world/given more worth by something very "active" indeed. I think it shows how good Dominion is for your brain. Every Kingdom, every interaction within that Kingdom, in fact, is a series of puzzles to be solved, and that's something that humans find both enjoyable and healthy.

Here's hoping you can find more people IRL with the same passion you have for the game. There's never a shortage online, but it is nice to sit down and fling cards now and then (especially if you already own a few expansions).

I'm glad Dominion has done good things for your life. If you're ever looking for something to add incredible amounts of conflict into your life instead, come try out forum games!

You and I must be playing different kinds of video games.

If you like Dominion, have you considered The Dominion League? Signups for next season are open until Friday.

I mean there are plenty of video games I would call "electronic Skinner boxes" (Farmville, the Sims, etc.) They don't all fit in that category but they're out there and very popular.

Sure. I don't play those.

I am glad you turned around!

You've probably heard it 1000's of times, but I want to be another voice thanking Donald X for creating such a wonderful, life-changing game.

Let me join the choir!

By the way, I wish levymealone good luck in our match today on Dominion Survival tournament!

That kind of grinding for very little reward is the kind of thing I had in mind when I rather unfairly slandered all video games. It just seems like that kind of thing has become a way for publishers to arbitrarily inflate the length of their games, and it seems like it infects a lot of genres these days.

Can I be your friend?

[McGarnacle]

Wow, levymealone, you've got yourself a pretty good post/respect ratio.

Hi and welcome. As said before, if you feel like you enjoy playing competitively in the Reddit tournament, you might want to try out the things hosted here as well. The League has been mentioned and there are also other mini tournaments and less frequent recurring tournaments (Gokodom, FDS Championships) which are worth giving a shot!
