Sorry for my absence (again)
« on: October 10, 2013, 08:54:15 pm »

Hey, AdamHorton contacted me and I'm glad he did.

I just wanted to pop in and say I'm not dead yet.
I'm really sorry that I left without any notice, but I just want to explain shortly why.
Well, I got really ill recently and so I had to shift priorities. Dominion is really an addiction for me and there's no "a little bit Dominion".
It's either all or nothing. So, I decided to quit, well I not really decided it, but it happened like that.
But I still miss Dominion and this community a lot. There was no long time where I didn't think about making a return or at least pop in to explain everything, but I just never got around to do that. I miss playing Dominion, miss making videos, miss talking with all of you guys, and miss making the lists, so on so forth.
I'm not really recovered yet, but I have now hopes to get well soon. This was last week. Since then I planned to come back even more and now Adam contacted me. I don't know when I will be fully back, but I try to at least continue the lists.

I hope you didn't miss me so much and accept my apologies. I hope to be back soon.

There's no need to apology.  We'd all love to see you around now and again, but please don't worry about the lists.  Get well.

Your absence was very noticeable in the community. It's good to have you back.

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

Welcome back Qvist, and get well soon!

You know, you've returned just when Ozle returned... Are you the same person?!

Got through most threads.
I'm preparing now to continue with my youtube channel and the rankings. I already did some preparations.
Also, today I did play Dominion the first time since ~4 months. Felt good.

So, I came to the conclusion that you really can't unlearn playing Dominion.

I close this day with being #9 on the Goko leaderboard (above Stef, yeah :P) and #20 on the isotropish one. I never had a level above 40 in the old leaderboard and now I'm at level 43, it feels great. Maybe the break even helped getting better. Who knows...

I am of the opinion that long breaks (like my current one) are very helpful in improvement. Obviously there will be a couple of days where you remember how to play again, but afterwards you are more open to trying new strategies.

question about this stuff.  Sometimes I'm gone for a week+ and I'll only have maybe 3 pages of unread threads...and all of those posts made in the last 2 days or so.  How do I make the unread posts actually include ALL unread posts?

Not sure if you mean that, but there's a link "All unread topics" at the bottom right of the topic list.

I can't find such a link, or possibly I did; i'm fairly incompetent at internet.  I just found that if I'm at the home page, each subcategory has a "Unread Posts" link to the right of the header bar.  Then at the bottom right footer-bar of this list is "All unread topics".  Is there a way to do that for the whole forum, and not just one category at a time?

Hmmm.  There's "Show unread posts since last visit." in the header -- is that what you want?

no; i frequently visit, but don't read all (or any) unread posts.  So those are teh type that disappear eventually without me having read them.
