You could make everyone's rings/braclets/etc. just slightly larger, so that they are more prone to fall off their persons, and then your minions could grab them off the ground.

Hello, police?  Yeah, I think I've found the most sinister villain ever.

Donald, how did you cope with The Great F.DS Outage of August 2016?
As it happens Stef had just said, so what about the campaigns, and I didn't have lists for a few levels somehow, so I refreshed the wiki many times. And when it finally worked the forums were still down but man I had my lists.

Yes I could have checked the live version, but I'd have needed to download a latest version probably, and what fun is that.

When the new client comes out, do you think you'll play more / any Dominion online? Or is that like, rereading your own book, why do that?

Will the new client be used internally for new card testing?

So... there is use in me posting all of those up on the wiki?  I've updated Base/Intrigue/Seaside/Cornucopia, and was starting Prosperity next, but I can get up Guilds/Adventures first if you need those for reference.

I've played tons of online Dominion. It's a question of how much I'm accomplishing and what other games I could be playing.

I will probably play the new client a bunch before it comes out; I will be accomplishing things. After it comes out, it will depend on those factors.

Will the new client be used internally for new card testing?
It's possible.

I got all the lists I was missing, thanks.

I am tweaking the campaigns some, and none of the story will survive (I don't know if we will have a story at all, possibly not). So uh. Unless you think you will enjoy having lots of data on no longer existing versions of the campaigns, I would hold off on working on that stuff until January.

Thanks for the tip.

I would recommend having a story, though - it's nice to have something flavorful to tie together the games.  It's far more interesting to wonder if the Prince of Vaccara will find the thief who stole his poodle (or whatever, hopefully better story is come up with), rather than just playing Prosperity Game #13.

I mean, I'd be willing to offer my services as a writer.  Only got two Kindle e-books on my resume, really, but just putting it out there.

Can somebody make a bracket of potential campaign writers?

Okay, I have made a note of it. Anyone else interested, lemme know.

If people are interested in writing the stories then man, we can have stories. It is not a paying gig, that was probably clear? Your name in lights and the satisfaction of a job well done are about the extent of it.

And I am going to estimate that it's a month off, maybe a bit more; really it makes sense to test the campaigns before writing the stories, so the stories don't refer to something that gets changed.

If enough people volunteer, then it might be cool for each writer to write the stories for one expansion in the canpaigns. That is, if nobody minds having some different writing styles represented.

I like this idea.  Would probably be a good idea if the writers at least coordinated on characters and whatnot.
