Seems to be isotropic's swan song, sort of a farewell present to the users. Can't think of any other reason. But yeah, nice.

That's quite a logical explanation.

Hmm, can we choose to rollback with preservation of Iso?  ;D

Maybe the idea is that we'll (temporarily) stop asking for Guilds spoilers (as much).

Oh that's awkward we just quit our game so you could play Lekkit, but you started a different game...

Sorry about that. But I need something to do at work. ;)

I'm up for a quickie now, though. If anyone is interested. 2/3 player preferably.

I am impressed.

When Sir Martin becomes the top card of the Knights pile it actually switches to the $4 column from the $5 column (in Text mode). When he is bought, it switches back!

For a second I thought the pile was drained and therefore had disappeared, but after looking closely I saw it had moved!

Nothing like checking email in the morning and having an "oh sh*t" moment.  Rollback coming soon to a server near you...

Heh.  I thought that might be the case.

Reboot at 14:00 US Eastern time.  Looks like we have 3+ hours with them.

I like how Isotropic is so smoothly programmed that you can *accidentally* release expansions into the public with no hitch.

If only it were that easy.  What happened is that I checked in the change to publish Dark Ages back in August, in hopes that I'd be able to add it, and then of course I wasn't.  The public server hasn't been updated since, like, July or so -- it's been restarted occasionally when I reboot my computer or something, but I haven't pushed new code to it until last night.  I fixed a little JS bug and pushed the tip-of-tree...

How much do we have to pay Doug to take a little internet vacation?  I need more than a few hours of games like this:

The game is over! (Silk Roads, Urchins, and Ruins are all gone.)
Orange has 40 points (8 Silk Roads [16 victory cards], 6 Estates, and a Farmland) and took 29 turns.
Hoam has 39 points (6 Provinces, a Farmland, and an Estate) and took 28 turns.

Too bad I'm at work. My first and probably forever only taste of Dark Ages was using one Counterfit, once, on a silver, and ending up using the extra +buy to buy a silver  :(

This thread really hammers home how many players still refuse to play on Goko. The way you guys are talking, it's like Dark Ages was just released!

I'm not trying to criticize, it's just a little jarring. It's like I've been thrown several months back in time.

So the expansion will be drawn from Iso before we have a new Pope.

Yeah, I think for a lot of people the end of Iso will be the end of Dominion for them. The physical game is too cumbersome for my tastes, and Goko has a way too Zynga vibe and I wouldn't be able to play it at work anyway.

It felt more like several hundred years to me. And they've past already, time flies when you're having fun :(

Playing with Dark Ages for a little while today was like being thrown back to when I started playing here, when there were so many strange cards and everything (except Base) was new. Very refreshing! (Yes, I do have DA cards and have played with them, but not all of them, and only a few times.)

Now I only wish I hadn't wasted some of this precious time by working. :-)

No Dark Ages on isotropic has already meant the end of Dominion for me, since several months back. I imagine I'm not alone there, and I'm sure I won't be alone once isotropic goes down.
