Anyone played against First?

He's shooting up the leaderboard like a rocket.  I'm curious whether he is playing amongst his friends, or is conmingling with the existing playerbase.

i played him saturday once (and beat him, though that was entirely due to a horrid draw and auto-meld on his part) so he is playing with random people at least occasionally. he ended up ranked 17th on the dominion leaderboard so with some practice i can understand that quick rise.

First is a very good Dominion player who has also been around here quite a bit.  Not surprising if he's also doing well at Innovation.

Now he is really in first  8)

Never played with him though, just can't manage to play 35 games per day like him...
Hideyoshi said he has played against him and I think alvin did matched him too, though Hideo is good enough to beat him for that game.  :)

Soon enough I can put up that 'level 40 or bust' tag  :P :P :P

------

update:

2-1 against him today, really like his style though, he is the type of player who don't bother about computing values (say not very concerned about score sums and minor mechanics, sometimes you missed 1 or 2 'best move' you can still overcome since your master plan is still on track) all the time, use dogma as utilities, stays in control and he knows how to create a way to win the game. To master all these are good enough among the level ~40s  ;)

In theory, yes - councilroom.com served that purpose for Dominion Isotropic, but (to my knowledge) no such system exists for Innovation Isotropic. So practically, no.

Names for a CR for innovation are kind of hard, because most of the card names are insanely popular english words.

My other account is 雪, but one day I couldn't find any opponent to play against, so I created this alternate account and ended up ranking higher.

really like his style though
Glad you like it :)

Does he play echoes?
Yes, and I love it.

I started working on a parser for Innovation games.  I actually emailed dougz some time ago to mention the fact that logs were not sufficient to get the complete game state (not including what's in the decks, of course) but didn't get a reply yet.

As far as I can tell, google didn't index it.  From my gmail logs..

3:55 PM
me: what should cr for innovation be called?
6 minutes
4:02 PM
Ben: Industrialization?
 me: the problem is that all common words are taken
me: so you need to basically concat words
       haha
       we were thinking splayright.com
Ben: WinBySelfService.com
Ben: PerfumeAndMath.com

Heh, that's a gmail log referencing a conversation that happened in person with theory.  The gmail convo itself is not with theory.

Nope, great minds think alike I guess!

I was just pondering through all the different Innovation-related names we could use for a stats site, and no individual techs really jumped out (that weren't already registered).

Pretty sure theory isn't that secretive about his name. Or at least I know *a* (first & surname) name that he uses online, although I guess it might be a psuedonym.

But not strictly better, because the spinoff can have a different cost than the expansion.
