[ConMan]

So, figured I do the introduction thing before jumping into random threads (which I plan to do shortly, no worries about that).

I started playing Dominion at the Wednesday lunchtime boardgames club at work, and I loved the whole idea of deck-building so much that I bought Base+Alchemy at the local-but-not-cheap game store, introduced my girlfriend and her brother to it, and we then traveled 3 hours to pick up every other expansion (at the time) from the not-so-local-but-quite-a-bit-cheaper game store. We now have everything up to Hinterlands, all sleeved and neatly stored in some surprisingly appropriately-sized fishing tackle boxes, and eagerly await Dark Ages and Guilds.

You have been playing Dominion since Wednesday and own everything. I have been playing for 2 years and own Base, Alchemy and Cornucopia. Am I a bad person?

I assume it's a weekly Wednesday event at his work, not just last Wednesday.

I assume ConMan starts playing next Wednesday.  Clearly, ConMan can time travel.

When Cornucopia was released in real life and on Isotropic, rrenaud seriously considered mailing just a $50 check to Donald X. rather than actually buying the game.

He did end up buying the physical game.  It sits on his workshelf, still shrink-wrapped to this day.

Yes.

Come, brethren, let us heap scorn upon the heretic.

*scorn heap*

Of course. But not for the reasons you think.

And yes, others have already gleaned the correct interpretation of what I said - there is a boardgames group that gathers every Wednesday at lunchtime, and probably about a year and a half ago I first played Dominion at one of these events and bought it soon after (given the number of games that can be present at these things, I have since learned to be more selective in my buying sprees).

Liar! You mean a year and a half from now, you scheming turnip!  I'm onto you.

I own all but the promos. Guess I am a better person than TINAS.

Rats! You caught me! And I'd been hiding it for so long, too.

So, interested in trying out my copy of Dominion: Guilds? Frankly, I was surprised that Donald X got the rights to include a Discworld-based expansion, since I thought those were tied up elsewhere, but the inclusion of Rincewind (Reaction: When another player plays an Attack card, you may reveal this and run very far away) really shakes up the balance of play.
