Powerman vs Tasman1414 (in progress)

Game 1: http://dominion.isotropic.org/gamelog/201212/13/game-20121213-212557-84b9e5c2.html

Game 2: http://dominion.isotropic.org/gamelog/201212/13/game-20121213-213702-f70a988d.html

To be continued...

Game 1 Comments: I really like my opening over his. I feel like my laboratories were not great buys. Not quite as close as the score indicates.

Game 2 Comments: I have no idea WTF I was doing on this board. He didn't do much of anything right or wrong, but I played this board so so so so bad. Classic example of FPS.

Game 3: http://dominion.isotropic.org/gamelog/201212/16/game-20121216-205225-080a8c14.html

Basic JoaT game with aid of Fishing Village. He draws a tiny bit better than me, pretty basic boring game.

Game 4: http://dominion.isotropic.org/gamelog/201212/16/game-20121216-210225-a5202513.html

Most interesting board of our set, IMO. I get out to a huge lead, and blow it. Luckily I am able to come back on my last turn.

Game 5: http://dominion.isotropic.org/gamelog/201212/16/game-20121216-211102-7e3dbefc.html

I thought BM-Embassy would beat the weak weak weak engine here. It doesn't. Hm, don't know if I drew poorly, or if the engine is better here.

Game 6: http://dominion.isotropic.org/gamelog/201212/16/game-20121216-212003-b97d5eb7.html

IGG Game. I buy 2 Expands when I hit exactly 7 and I feel like that won me the game. A bit of luck too on the last draw.

Game 7: http://dominion.isotropic.org/gamelog/201212/16/game-20121216-212422-3b502839.html

Verrrry, verrry boring game. If I hadn't hit exactly 5 ever, I probably would have gone straight BM. Yeah, that would have been worse, but I just didn't like this board. He built up a wee bit more and there just wasn't the time to do that.

Yes, unless we hear from them first.

Ok, giving it one more hour, and then round 2 matchups will be posted.

I am sad that sadpanda will not continue. Guess I should have reminded him about it yesterday...

sadpanda averages like 50 games of dominion a day. How is he AWOL?

mith · « **Reply #64 on:** December 17, 2012, 07:02:59 pm »

Putting together the matchups now. Don't consider them official until I post so here (we're waiting on confirmation re: Harnivar/SadPanda forfeit).

Master Shuffler · « **Reply #65 on:** December 17, 2012, 07:04:46 pm »

Just played with sadpanda. Apparently he was never able to get in touch with his opponent, and just assumed they would find each other on ISO which never happened.

mith · « **Reply #66 on:** December 17, 2012, 07:25:59 pm »

Hm. I'm somewhat at a loss for what to do here. Both players received a PM from me instructing them to post in the "Help" thread if they were having trouble scheduling a match, which neither did. Harniver did at least contact us (albeit at the very last minute) to say that he had PM'd SadPanda on Friday with no response.

Your call, Insomniac. ~~The matchups are set assuming Harniver advancing, but no trouble to shift things around in the case of a double forfeit.~~ The matchups are set assuming a double forfeit, but no trouble to shift things around if you want to advance either player.

mith · « **Reply #67 on:** December 17, 2012, 07:28:17 pm »

(If we have a double forfeit, that will leave us with an odd number, and the bye will go to Master Shuffler, with dudeabides vs. warrior297 and Lekkit vs. Simon (DK) as the other affected matchups.)

mith · « **Reply #68 on:** December 17, 2012, 09:51:30 pm »

Alright, Insomniac hasn't responded... for the sake of getting on with the tournament, I'm going to go ahead and rule it a double forfeit. Matchups are set; everything for the current round is on the first sheet, but if you want to view how people got there I've got the full "bracket" in a separate sheet with match scores.

Insomniac · « **Reply #69 on:** December 17, 2012, 10:58:04 pm »

Sorry was busy today, I would have said gievn what we have we have to do a double forfeit

Really underestimated the power of Cartographer with scrying pool.

Trusty Mead beat Antony 4-3
Antony has the game logs. Antony took a 3-1 lead early in the series, and quite frankly, I was worried. I was playing pretty poorly, getting a little unlucky, and getting rightfully clobbered. But I turned it around in the nick of time, with a game 5 win (shutting down the effectiveness of his duchy duke and then building my deck and snatching provs. I won game 6, and forced game 7. This was a board all about luck with swindlers and mountebanks. Early game, we both had the same amount of luck with swindlers, perhaps a little first seat advantage to him (he was able to avoid having a curse in his second cycle). But i powered through with the mountebanks, getting to throne room them a couple of times, and with a three pile, I was able to steal the game and the series.

Thanks to Antony for all the games. They were fun and competitive.

antony · « **Reply #73 on:** December 18, 2012, 08:17:06 pm »

Trusty Mead defeats antony, 4-3
1/ http://dominion.isotropic.org/gamelog/201212/18/game-20121218-162534-41ca084c.html antony 34 - Trusty Mead 18, my swindlers work overtime.
2/ http://dominion.isotropic.org/gamelog/201212/18/game-20121218-163550-e21eb747.html Trusty Mead resigns, my pirate ships hit $5 faster than his, then I fatten my deck to protect the last few coppers.
3/ http://dominion.isotropic.org/gamelog/201212/18/game-20121218-164018-8955c012.html Trusty Mead 26 - antony 15, I think first player advantage worked well for an Ironworks/Vineyards game here.
4/ http://dominion.isotropic.org/gamelog/201212/18/game-20121218-164943-095fca12.html Trusty Mead resigns, I go for the engine while Trusty Mead tries to get Dukes using Trader for money. At the end Haggler lets me split the duchies (!) while continuing to grab engine parts.
5/ http://dominion.isotropic.org/gamelog/201212/18/game-20121218-165736-7a7c7c94.html Trusty Mead 70 - antony 56, 7 dukes and 5 duchies is not enough to overcome an 8-0 split in provinces.
6/ http://dominion.isotropic.org/gamelog/201212/18/game-20121218-170012-e0976ab9.html Trusty Mead 33 - antony 30, despite being P1 my cutpurses get into action later than his, and when I try to grab two of them (a questionable choice, perhaps) of course they collide.
7/ http://dominion.isotropic.org/gamelog/201212/18/game-20121218-170337-ac996393.html Trusty Mead 7 - antony 4, weird Mountebank/Swindler/City/TR game which come down to endgame 3-piling tactics which Trusty Mead manages better than I do.

I think games 4, 5 and 6 where those where skill mattered the most; luck was quite important in the other 4(!) But even then Trusty Mead would have won 2-1, so congrats!

Some additional comments
Game 1: i thought my swindler, forge, watchtower, fishing village would work better than it did. Antony got an early swindle of my swindler, which really set me back, and might have been the difference. I did start greening way too late.
Game 2: As Antony said, my pirate ship was a little slow, even though I got more consistency witha heavy scheme back up. But when my Pirate ships did stall at four, I should have started picking up markets, instead of hoping to hit the copper jackpot with my pirate ships. Good, solid win for Antony
Game 3: I don't know if 1st player made much of a difference. I think it was that I was able to get the early goons by havening away a copper and getting 6 the next turn. That might have been lucky, and it was the difference.
Game 4: I got lured by a quick trader duchy-duke, which I thought would be a little quicker than it was. Antony gets a little early game luck (being able to get haggler AND scrying pool second cycle; loaning and farming villaging through lots of green cards), but uses it very well to create a good engine that trounces me in the long term.
Game 5: I think that a quick duchy duke in this set was a mistake by Antony. I build up my deck first, grab 3 duchies to stop the value of his dukes, and just slowly build up an engine while his deck falls apart due to early greening and questionable copper buys. Maybe a cartographer would have been better instead of a couple of Antony's dukes. I would not have wanted to pick up a duke that early anyway, and it would have made Antony's deck more resilient to greening
Game 6: I think Antony overlooks courtyard here; In a game with trade routes as buys (which Antony neglected and which I feel might not be worth it considering it was a very quick game), I think courtyards helped me set up my turns better. 1st seat almost saves Antony, but his deck is not able to snatch up the last province
Game 7: We both had comparative swindler luck, but mountebanks made the difference. Antony neglected an early mountebank, which i think was a mistake, and luck with throning mountebanks was the difference.

Thanks for the great games Antony
