Beyond Awesome went for IGG + single Jack + green, I tried to diversify with multiple utility cards.
Game 2:
http://dominion.isotropic.org/gamelog/201212/17/game-20121217-231927-a76d4790.htmlA tie 30/30.
I gambled that my ooponent would not be able to finish on his last turn, but extra cards from Governor made it easier for him.
Game 3:
http://dominion.isotropic.org/gamelog/201212/17/game-20121217-230354-94cce574.htmlBeyond Awesome 67 sm 55
I was outplayed here - I could not stick to a single game plan and was punished.

My opponent could have won on piles but let me steal the victory.

A slog of a game.
I won curses split and greened better.

Beyond Awesome went for BM + smithy which was probably right.
I tried nv/smithy/mine/develop plan but it was too slow.

Probably the most interesting board of the whole match:
cards in supply: Adventurer, Apothecary, Apprentice, Explorer, Fool's Gold, Highway, King's Court, Potion, Rabble, Sea Hag, and Woodcutter
The game was rather long because of curses.
We both opened woodcutter/potion - I am still not sure it is better than sea hag/silver.
Beyond Awesome got most fool golds and started greening, I tried to build an engine with KC, highways and +buys, focusing on early apprentices.
Somehow it worked (and KCing the sea hag helped a bit).
I am not very sure about game order and I do not have a log for one game which I won (it featured moat, mountain bank, hop, apprentice, GM, baron and nomad camp).
I went for silver/baron, my opp - for silver/nomad camp and I got early edge getting $7 on first reshuffle (mountain camp + moat).
I managed to get a bunch of apprentices and a horn, trashed tightly, got most of GMs. I missed an opportunity to finish game on piles, but was far ahead (something like 20 to 5) and was lucky enough to finish next turn.
Beyond Awesome, please post the link to this game f you happen to have a log for this game (I think it was game #6).
