I matched with some random online who asked whether I played with Qvist as the first thing, and who then said that he was going to lose very badly (he disconnected during the first game, so we never found out). Thanks to Qvist recording our match in the Dominion League, I am now a little Dominion-famous, apparently  ;D

Qvist is the biggest Dominion YouTuber at 386, with AdamH close behind at 356. Still, cool that people are watching. Qvist is a cool cucumber.

You forgot some pretty important youtube dominion people. Me, for example. I don't remember an exact number of subscribers, but I think it was 2   .

After ending my years long bot-only self-inflicted reclusion, since the beginning of april I went from iso level -8 to level 41, after a short lucky winning streak yesterday. With exams incoming, I guess this will be the peak of my Dominion career for at least the next few months.
Still, the biggest satisfaction I got from this exploit was skyrocketing up the leaderboard to level 35 in the first week or so.  ;D
Playing against bots isn't as useless as many paint it. *gloat*

I never play bots (level 48 or so)

I fail to see your point, sorry.

Edit: ok, let me clarify a bit here.
Often you see comments around here saying that by playing bots you won't ever become even a slightly-better-than-mediocre player, while my experience was that my bot-trained skills took me way higher than I expected (I thought I would be around 20 or so).
So, nice surprise for me here, small achievement compared to yours and to the achevements of most f:dsers.
It was a nice month, and playing with people required (and made me start to develop) a much deeper understanding of the game, which I would never acquire against bots, no argument there. Still, I thought I would share this here since I'm most likely to stop playing for a while.

I never said that bots are necessary to learn how to play, and I'm aware that there are lots of players who are much better than me, even though maybe my post didn't read that way. So, sorry for the gloating tone, but it's the attention whoring thread, after all.

Now that you've stopped playing bots, you'll get a lot better as a player.

I play most of my games against bots, I guess I must be terrible at Dominion. Even typing that sentence I could feel my skill just draining away.

Accatitippi, I wouldn't pay any attention to these guys, and I certainly wouldn't apologize to them.

The difference being that you already know how to play on a god level.

The bots' main point of attraction for me is being able to play as slow as I wish, while having no dead times during the opponents' turn. Plus, my very first interactions with random players on iso and then on Goko had been far from positive, so I wasn't exactly eager to try that again. :)

Lost the GM split 8-2, but ended up winning.  Distant Lands, man.  It's better than I thought.  And Coin of the Realm.  Swamp Hag helped me too here.

EDIT: I also realized in this game that Storyteller/CotR has a synergy, because you can call the CotR on the same turn you played it.  Guess you could say the same about Black Market.

Swamp Hag sort of negates the losing Grand Market split. There's no real draw, so I'm actually surprised you won while losing the Grand Market split that badly. Distant Lands is fantastic for the price if you can get to playing them. Your opponent also didn't go for Coin of the Realm, or really hard for Swamp Hag. He blew his lead, and you exploited the crap out of it. Nice win. :)

Well as you pointed out after the game, me not using Duplicate with Princess was super stupid. I quite expected to win Steed as well, but the shuffles after I got Followers were pretty unkind, particularly T11, I even behaved myself and had lots of Ports.

And a pretty strong case can be made that I should have gotten Trusty Steed first anyway, Followers is more of a self-junker on this board with the Moats around. You getting Followers isn't that damaging to me as you'll only play it every once in a while and I'll have lots of Moats. Steed is more helpful for getting Followers than Followers is for getting Steed. I did want that discard attack though.

I did it! I broke my previous record! I'm now at 4584, an all-time low! I have never been below 4600 since I started playing on Goko in May 2013.

I made a chart in Excel, and I've been on a general losing streak since March 2015... Still waiting for it to end. Sometimes I wonder why I play Dominion online. In theory, I love the game. I keep thinking, it has to turn around at some point... right? Sometimes I have some okay days, but then it's followed by days of even more losing. I feel like my correct rating is somewhere in 5500-6000, that's where I was before the losing streak.

I feel like in my prime, I am a 5000 player, but I lose too often due to careless mistakes. I should play like every game is my last. :P So should you. You're not playing careful enough I wager.

After gradually climbing a little bit, I now broke my previous low record. I'm at 4560. I think I'm playing as carefully and as well as I can. I make silly mistakes sometimes, sure, but not more than my opponents. Of today's 4 games, the only one I won was when I chose the superior strategy. The others were mirrors. I generally lose mirrors. To me it seems like shuffle luck 80% of the time that happens, sometimes horrible shuffle luck.
