My name is Ryan and I am an economics graduate student at the University of Chicago. When I have the time, I enjoy playing most games, including Dominion!

On Isotropic and on this forum I am going by Polk5440. This is a reference to the last strong pre-Civil War American President James K. Polk and his slogan "54'40" or fight" (his slogan for trying to stake claim to the Oregon Country for US expansion). Polk strongly supported US expansion and as President-elect presided over the annexation of Texas. As President he acquired part of the Oregon Country (settling for the 49th parallel) and won the Mexican-American War which resulted in acquiring most of the rest of the western states. I like using this name when playing games of conquest -- it seems very fitting. And since Dominion is loosely thematically about having the most territory, I play under it here.

Can I summon Krugman, call you a fresh water economist, and start a flame war? :P

You have the power to summon Krugman? Why has this not been used before?

Probably, but I think Krugman's started enough flame wars with other economists on his own. In any case, some Fresh Water Truth can easily put out any Fire inadvertently started.

You do know who originally said "We're all Keynesians now", right? :)

To discard or not to discard?  That is the question.

Indeed I do. But I don't have him to kick around anymore.

Krugman (Version 2.0)

Action -- Attack
Cost: $6

+2 Buys

"You may reveal a treasure card from your hand.  If you do, gain two copies of it.  Pass one treasure to the left (or reveal a hand with no treasure and gain a Gold in hand).  Pass one Curse to the right or reveal a hand with no Curses.  The player on your right discards down to two cards and gains a curse in hand.  Any treasures passed to the left get multiplied by 1.5 (of course!).  Every other player gains a copper in hand.  During the buy phase, you may ignore the cost of Monuments, Bridges and Highways if in play."
