This topic was split from the Greatest Isotropic Moments of 2011 thread
Sadly this was on the 9th... But I can't resist, so here's a challenge to beat for next year ^_^
http://councilroom.com/game?game_id=game-20120109-082209-c5d53456.html
#1 Biderman: 317 points (227 ▼, 7 Colonies, 5 Nobles, a Province, and 4 Estates); 24 turns
opening: Wharf / nothing
#2 mayasquer: 49 points (3 Provinces, a Colony, 2 Duchies, 3 Nobles, 5 Estates, and 4 ▼); 25 turns
If not the most points, I'm willing to bet I got the most points in one turn.... 30 buys, 6 Goons in play, I buy 4 Colonies, 1 Provence, 1 Estate, and 18 Coppers for a total of 180+40+6+1=227 points in one turn. The sad thing about this turn is that I had $54 and there were 5 Colonies left :/
-
I'm sure your opponents deck was in no position to come back, but it would seem the correct move in that position would have been to buy the 5 remaining Provinces, 1 Colony and 1 Estate for 41 points instead of 4 Colonies 1 Province and 1 Estate for 47 points. This nets 6 less points, (and reduces the mega turn to 221 total points) but would have ended the game.
-
True. I actually could have gone through the provinces a few turns earlier but when you realize u can pick up Platnums while gaining 10 VPs a turn indefinitely...

I just played this game. The last turn makes this game a great moment. After this I raged at the swindler IRL with 20 curse words. I also said "REALLY" 3 times in-chat when that happened. My opponent just lol'ed. Good game benj4130

But you weren't going to win if you had bought that Colony anyway...
-
Why not? o.O it was 63him-55me. 1 colony to end the game and I win.
-
You bought a province on the last turn. It was 63-49 before the swindler

Oh. I guess you guys are right then.

This just happened, so I'll have to submit it for next year's list, but I was amused by this turn....8 Golds gained off of Tunnel with only 2 Tunnels in my deck:

Is there going to be a 2012 thread?
--- colin's turn 11 ---
colin does nothing.
(colin draws: a Black Market, a Silver, a Copper, and 2 Curses.)
--- chriskern's turn 11 ---
chriskern does nothing.
(chriskern draws: a Black Market, a Curse, 2 Silvers, and an Envoy.)
--- Rick's turn 11 ---
Rick does nothing.
(Rick draws: an Estate, 2 Coppers, and 2 Curses.)
This is the result of Sea Hag + no 2-cost card. Even so I've never seen all 3 players skip their turns in a row.
-
Props to everyone else's stuff, definitely some good lulz in there!
Nine empty piles at the end of this game. (I've never seen more than six empty piles in any other game.) 49 buys on my last turn, 61 total buys in my last two turns.

Also, it doesn't get any meaner than this... (apologies to Hiker)
You play a Swindler.
... You get +$2.
... hiker turns up a Trusty Steed and trashes it.
... You replace hiker's Trusty Steed with a Curse.
-
Finally, an epic fail which I'm sure many of you are familiar with but many players probably haven't seen it either.
This is from a turn after I got possessed, and I have not bothered to include some actions before I played the Outpost. Look what happens at the end:
Wolphmaniac plays an Outpost.
Wolphmaniac plays a Silver and 5 Coppers.
Wolphmaniac buys a Gardens.
Wolphmaniac buys a Gardens.
Wolphmaniac returns a Silver to the top of the deck.
(Wolphmaniac reshuffles.)
(Wolphmaniac draws: a Silver, a Copper, and an Estate.)
--- drvitek's turn 10 ---
So yeah...never play an Outpost after getting Possessed! You end up with no extra turn AND a 3-card hand on your next turn!
-
Opening Throne Room-Swindler is always a risky prospect. On the off chance you do collide, you've likely won the game.
Unless....
— allfail's turn 3 —
allfail plays a Throne Room.
... and plays a Swindler.
... ... getting +$2.
... ... O turns up an Estate and trashes it.
... ... replacing O's Estate with an Estate.
... and plays the Swindler again.
... ... getting +$2.
... ... O turns up an Estate and trashes it.
... ... replacing O's Estate with an Estate.
allfail plays 3 Coppers.
allfail buys a Governor.
(allfail draws: 2 Estates and 3 Coppers.)

Yes, yes, the 2011 list hasn't been published yet, but since people are already starting to submit their great 2012 moments, I think it'd be best to move them into this topic.

So even though the logs don't explicitly say what is passed with Masquerade, it's not too hard to piece it together from this bit of the game log (http://councilroom.com/game?game_id=game-20120429-120928-02121940.html):
— michaeljb's turn 13 —
michaeljb plays a Stash and 2 Coppers.

(michaeljb draws: a Gold, a Silver, a Copper, and 2 Curses.)
— Tarski's turn 14 —
Tarski plays a Village.
... drawing 1 card and getting +2 actions.
Tarski plays a Masquerade.
... drawing 2 cards.
... trashing a Curse.
Tarski plays a Masquerade.

(Tarski draws: a Gold, a Walled Village, 2 Coppers, and a Curse.)
— michaeljb's turn 14 —
michaeljb plays a Gold, a Silver, and 3 Coppers.
michaeljb buys a Province.
(michaeljb reshuffles.)
(michaeljb draws: 3 Stashes, a Silver, and an Estate.)
He trashed 2 of my Curses for me, giving me Coppers in exchange. How nice of him!

I don't know if people piledrive Colonies in one turn very often, but for me it's still a rare sight, more so when using Highway (no +Buy) instead of Bridge, relying on Council Room and 2 KC'd Festivals to get exactly 8 Buys:

I've always wanted to pull that one off. Hasn't happened for me yet though. Always a danger when swindler and tourney are both out.

Crossposting:
I never had gotten The Flash or Megaturn achievements until today. I wasn't expecting to get both of them in the same game..
Embassy, King's Court, Bridge on the board. We both open 5/2 and I get damn close to an optimal game (You probably can pull off 8 provinces turn 7/8, I don't think colonies.

I just played a game where my opponent's single Pirate Ship hit 4 of my Potions. The first two hits were before the Potions had even been in my hand, and the third was after using it only once. I've never seen such a lucky Pirate Ship.

my back-of-envelope calculations have the odds of this draw at .0113 percent...
from this deck: [18 cards]
5 Grand Markets, 2 Farming Villages, 2 Fool's Golds, 1 Rabble, 1 Salvager, 2 Silvers, 1 Province
Turn 14 ...
glengarry buys a Province.
glengarry buys a Province.

this was after to go up 25/12 with 1 provi left in the deck and my knowing oppo has with a fresh draw off this deck:
[26 cards]
5 Grand Markets, 3 Farming Villages, 2 Rabbles, 1 Chapel, 1 City, 4 Silvers, 2 Provinces
with my opponent representing a max buy of 18, i felt pretty good.
anyhow, i'm pretty bad at estimating draw odds, but i think my 1/10000 math is pretty sound.
(5/18 x 4/17 x 3/16 x 2/15 x 1/14) = .0001136
of course, with the extra turn, he got there.

My personal favorite (cross posted):
http://dominion.isotropic.org/gamelog/201206/15/game-20120615-200917-68e773a9.html
2 turns where both players do not buy a province (or two or three) for fear the other player can pick up three in one turn.
Then a turn where four province take the hit.
And without even King's Court!
(Which makes me think: Most provinces in one turn in a real game without Bridge, Highway, or King's Court?)

(Which makes me think: Most provinces in one turn in a real game without Bridge, Highway, or King's Court?)
i'm pretty sure someone can drain all 8 using horn of plenty.

Also, I think it should be .0001167. This is 1/(18 choose 5). This is the same as you said you did, but your final number is incorrect.

I've been partial to games where HoP megaturns are possible lately and here's one where I was actually able to get the "MegaTurn" feat on CouncilRoom with an HoP mega turn. Another fun fact about this game: Overinvesting on Potions was a huge key here (I had 3 at game's end) because with Bridge in play I was able to pick up multiple Alchemists on the same turn. Here's my last turn:

I know that KC-Bridge megaturns don't usually count as "greatest Isotropic moments", but in this game I played a little while ago against theory, it's not the megaturn itself that I want to count as a great moment so much as how I set it up:

Ok, this may fall under "yet another ridiculous power game", but I'm posting it simply for the fact that I purchased two curses at the end for the reason that the copper stack was empty.

my back-of-envelope calculations have the odds of this draw at .0113 percent...
from this deck: [18 cards]
5 Grand Markets, 2 Farming Villages, 2 Fool's Golds, 1 Rabble, 1 Salvager, 2 Silvers, 1 Province
Turn 14 ...
glengarry buys a Province.
glengarry buys a Province.
glengarry buys a Province.
glengarry buys an Estate.
(glengarry reshuffles.)
(glengarry draws: 4 Provinces and an Estate.)
this was after to go up 25/12 with 1 provi left in the deck and my knowing oppo has with a fresh draw off this deck:
[26 cards]
5 Grand Markets, 3 Farming Villages, 2 Rabbles, 1 Chapel, 1 City, 4 Silvers, 2 Provinces
with my opponent representing a max buy of 18, i felt pretty good.
anyhow, i'm pretty bad at estimating draw odds, but i think my 1/10000 math is pretty sound.
(5/18 x 4/17 x 3/16 x 2/15 x 1/14) = .0001136
of course, with the extra turn, he got there.
>:(
Well, you can fail even worse by picking up one Fool's Gold (or a Farming Village picking up a Fool's Gold). So there are two FGs, of which you can get one, and a FG can be drawn three ways (FG, or FV -> FG, or FV -> FV -> FG).
5/18 * 4/17 * 3/16 * 2/15 * 1/14 +
5/18 * 4/17 * 3/16 * 2/15 * 2/14 +
5/18 * 4/17 * 3/16 * 2/15 * 2/14 +
5/18 * 4/17 * 2/16 * 3/15 * 2/14 +
5/18 * 2/17 * 4/16 * 3/15 * 2/14 +
2/18 * 5/17 * 4/16 * 3/15 * 2/14
= ( 5 * (5*4*3*2*2) + (5*4*3*2*1) ) / (18*17*16*15*14)
= ( 5 * 3 * (5*4*3*2) ) / (18*17*16*15*14)
= 1 / 571.2
We'll ignore FV -> FG, because that makes the problem significantly complex and is a highly unlikely corner case.
We're also assuming that one point is sufficient for you to win. If you need a Duchy, you can add a GM to any of those, or change the FG to a Silver, putting us around 1/250. If you need to kill the Province pile, most hands with no Salvager or Rabble will suffice, so you're probably well below 1/100 (but the calculation gets complicated at that point).
So it's not quite on the scale of 10,000 to 1, but ouch. Your deck did pick an amusing way to screw you though.

Not exactly the "greatest" moment, but I found this interesting:
— father patrick's turn 14 —
father patrick plays a Steward.
... getting +$2.
father patrick plays a Silver.
father patrick plays a Silver.
father patrick buys a Farmland.
... trashing a Copper.
... gaining an Estate.
(this was his final turn of the game)
So... in essence, this poor soul paid $6 to get as many VP as a Duchy ($5)... while reducing the money density of his deck by 3 cards (losing a copper, gaining 2 different green cards). The irony is, this kind of move would make sense if he had any Silk Roads. They were in the kingdom... but he didn't buy any. D'oh!

(Backstory: I had a 12-point lead but my opponent had just emptied the City pile, giving him a 9-1 split, last turn. Hamlets were also gone, and he had just gained 4 Silvers and bought 3 Duchies last turn, so I was very afraid of what he could do with just one more turn.)

Doh.

You're half-right. It can be done with combinatorics (my stats skills are too rusty, so I essentially did combinatorics via the long way above), but there are more than five dead cards. He loses in far more ways than by drawing all his green, although drawing all the green is the funniest.

A couple recent games.
Never buy provinces when you can get points with Goons (http://councilroom.com/game?game_id=game-20120801-211830-00f814f8.html)
...in which I was always terribly behind, and he bought 6 provinces, but somehow pulled a 22-point comeback in the final turn, with exactly enough money and buys (well okay, I could have gotten a copper instead of the last estate).
Why doesn't this count as Champion Prize Fighter? (http://councilroom.com/game?game_id=game-20120801-225409-6972190b.html)
...in which, using a Menagerie / Loan deck, I manage to get all five prizes on turn 12. He had some pretty terrible luck with never drawing any of his three provinces to counter my tournaments. Of course, I think the reason it doesn't count is because of the Outpost, but that doesn't stop this from being pretty cool.

I mean, what are the odds that my Spice Merchant would immediately draw me my mistaken buy as well as the one card that could turn it into something useful?

#1 Biderman: 317 points (227 ▼, 7 Colonies, 5 Nobles, a Province, and 4 Estates); 24 turns
opening: Wharf / nothing
#2 mayasquer: 49 points (3 Provinces, a Colony, 2 Duchies, 3 Nobles, 5 Estates, and 4 ▼); 25 turns
If not the most points, I'm willing to bet I got the most points in one turn.... 30 buys, 6 Goons in play, I buy 4 Colonies, 1 Provence, 1 Estate, and 18 Coppers for a total of 180+40+6+1=227 points in one turn. The sad thing about this turn is that I had $54 and there were 5 Colonies left :/
Next time empty provinces, you don't want to allow a possible mega-turn for no reason. Or three-pile. If you can end the game with a points lead, you should always end the game.

I've fallen behind. My opponent got off to a fast start with turn 6 Gold -> turn 7 Province -> turn 8 Prize; I had my opening Chapel miss the reshuffle and couldn't seem to get above $5. Now it's turn 13. He has 4 of the prizes to my none and 4 provinces to my none. At this point, I knew that my deck simply could not make up that difference.
But I knew that his deck could.

So it's a four player game, I've got King's Courts, Stables, and money galore, and one of my opponents keep having their king hold court in council rooms-- pretty awesome! But the first player to buy early Possession just so happens to be to my right, and he keeps possessing my wonderful eight-card starting hands, using my deck to buy Provinces rather consistently while my sloppy seconds five-card hands can't really do that-- pretty terrible!
Except his mad rush for points and slight misunderstanding of Possession's effects results in this:
--- minakichan's turn (possessed by Omy29) ---
minakichan plays a King's Court.
... and plays a King's Court.
... ... and plays a Stables.

... ... and plays a Bishop.
... ... ... getting +$1 and +1 ▼.
... ... ... minakichan trashes a Province and gets +4 ▼.
... ... ... TW2012 trashes nothing.

... ... ... Badoosh trashes nothing.
... ... ... TW2012 trashes nothing.
... ... ... Omy29 trashes nothing.
... and plays the King's Court a third time.
... ... but plays no action with it.
minakichan plays 3 Silvers.
minakichan buys a Province.
... Omy29 gains the Province.
(minakichan reshuffles.)
(minakichan draws: a Stables, 3 Silvers, and a Bishop.)
minakichan discards the "trashed" cards (a Gold, a Copper, and a Province).
You might see the problem here, but my unfortunate opponent didn't: Yup, Possession says nothing about VP and they therefore all go to the possessed player. In this Possessed turn, he gains a 6-point Province but gives me 10 VP. This happened several times throughout the entire game-- even with some King's Courted Possessions-- and he usually Bishopped the biggest cards for the biggest number of points.
I dropped a few hints, and I know I probably should have explained the situation, but... it was kind of glorious for me and I wanted to see how far it could go (sorry, opponent!).
I think the best moment in the game is around turn 13 though-- another opponent gets a similar idea and plays King's Courts Possession, giving the last opponent (Badoosh) 29 VP without having to lift a finger. Unfortunately, it seems that Badoosh, as my only opponent who likely truly understood Possession, saw how I was getting unfair amounts of free VP and resigned just beforehand, missing out on this huge VP spike completely-- ouch!
-
Hah. TIL Possession is highly political.

Sadly this was on the 9th... But I can't resist, so here's a challenge to beat for next year ^_^
http://councilroom.com/game?game_id=game-20120109-082209-c5d53456.html
#1 Biderman: 317 points (227 ▼, 7 Colonies, 5 Nobles, a Province, and 4 Estates); 24 turns
opening: Wharf / nothing
#2 mayasquer: 49 points (3 Provinces, a Colony, 2 Duchies, 3 Nobles, 5 Estates, and 4 ▼); 25 turns
If not the most points, I'm willing to bet I got the most points in one turn.... 30 buys, 6 Goons in play, I buy 4 Colonies, 1 Provence, 1 Estate, and 18 Coppers for a total of 180+40+6+1=227 points in one turn. The sad thing about this turn is that I had $54 and there were 5 Colonies left :/
Check this one out bro. I have beaten your challenge.
http://councilroom.com/game?game_id=game-20120808-182540-e493c5c2.html
This is the extremely rare double mega: all Colonies and Provinces in one turn. Also picked up all 8 Duchies, a Nobles, and an Estate. 7 Goons in play.
8(10) + 8(6) + 8(3) + 1(2) + 1(1) + 26(7) = 337 points in one turn (377 total).
(Opponent is a Level 21 who was trying. No nans.)

Wow, your opponent draws about as horribly as a Chapel deck possibly could. Although in his position, I Chapel 3 Coppers on Turn 3. Menagerie does you no good whatsoever if you don't get rid of some trash.

So I got soundly smashed here but given where I was in the game, this was entertaining.

Someone mentioned 5 Rabbles in this thread somewhere. I've created a thread for 5 Governors in the Game Reports section. (I won that game.)
5 Curses is hilarious though. I once drew 4 Curses with a Throne Room, biggest facepalm moment I ever had on Isotropic.

And what a great hand it was, allowing you to buy so many powerful cards. Additionally, it improved your next hand heavily, I don't want to know what great things you were able to do next turn.
-
sshhuuunnnn the non-believers
shhhuuun, shhhuuuuuun, shhhuuuuunan...
-
Also, don't forget the awesome buying power that it resulted in. An Estate that could easily be drawn by the Scout in the hand!
-
Topdecking the scout is a devious scheme indeed. Well played.
-
So we had one of those City/Grand Market games, where those two piles had emptied and we were racing to see how many Provinces we could take down before the game ended. Going into the last turn, I was pretty sure I was behind, but I could take two Provinces, which I thought would be enough if I three-piled. Unfortunately, with only $21 in hand, there wasn't any way to take two Provinces and three-pile...
...or so my opponent must have thought.

I think this would be cooler if you had played at least 1 City before gaining the last City. That way you'd be able to see City played at level 1, 2, and 3 all in the same turn; which would be awesome.

This one is pretty comical, but it takes a little bit of a walk through:

- On my next run through the deck I pick up a Treasure Map
- In that same deck cycle, zporiri Swindles my Spice Merchant. He hesitates before turning it into a Treasure Map
- I buy a warehouse to cycle
- On my next turn (first turn after the reshuffle), I draw the two treasure maps
Best Swindle ever.

I'm pretty sure that that's a terrible move by your opponent. Giving you your second Treasure Map? And with Warehouse on the board?

About a year ago I nearly managed the following but missed the play.
Open $4 / Watch Tower.

Then realise I could top deck it, then buy another treasure map on my turn and top deck that as well.

You forgot to mention the most impressive thing about this: you only had 2 SPs in your deck!
-
Realistically, though, he has enough Labs and cantrips that with the second SP, drawing his deck is pretty much guaranteed. The only interesting part is doing it the easy way (or is that the hard way?).
I would have been more impressed by the "epic fail" version, where the SP draws all the Bridges and then the Potion.

There were three provinces left. I had drawn my deck and had enough for two provinces. And I had 3 Governors.
Governor 1: Gain a Gold
Governor 2: +3 cards (draw the gold)
Governor 3: Trash a card, turn gold into province
Nomad Camp. Buy 2 provinces

I had a fun turn today where my hand was:
Masquerade-Province-Gold-Silver-Harem
It was my opponent's turn and he played a Mining Village and his own Masq, I passed him my Masq hoping to get a Copper.
Alas, he passed me an Estate, but he played the Masq he got from me, passing me a Copper.
So by him playing 2 Masqs, one of which was mine, I end up with precisely enough for a Province.

It wasn't on Iso, but I was mucking around learning Dark Ages in Androminion when I noticed a combo on the board. A few turns later, and I'd won a two-player non-Colony game with 85 points.

A game of King's Court, Ambassador and Alchemist:
http://dominion.isotropic.org/gamelog/201211/28/game-20121128-010621-9d3bc470.html
I played against ZiNOS, we both had roughly the same idea, get Alchemists, King's Courts and hit our opponent hard with Ambassadors. I wound up on top of the early Ambassador war, and was able to get some severe King's Court--King's Court-- Ambassador--Ambassador turns off against him, hitting him with Estates and Potions.
The reason I mention the game here is that I was very nearly too successful, we'd bought out the Alchemists, and when I dumped 11 Potions and all but one of the Estates in his deck, he actually had a large lead (with a huge and terrible deck) and we were 3 cards short of 3-piling.
Has it happened with KC-Ambassador that someone has dumped so much garbage in the opponent's deck that they actually lose on piles before they can buy Colonies/Provinces to make up the deficit from Estates?
-
Not with KC, but in a 4-player I was the only one who didn't get Ambassador. The game ended on Lighthouse/Fishing Village/Estate, and I had basically all the Estates.
-
Had an IRL game recently that ended on Fishing Villages, Estates and Ruins gone. I was the only one with a Province and I also had a couple of Duchies, but another guy got 13 Estates and two or so Duchies. I lost with 1 point in the end. This was a 4p game.

Just played a game on Goko with Chapel, Upgrade, Saboteur and Island, so there were lots of ways to get cards out of your deck. Talking on the phone, I didn't play very focused and had no real plan for the game, but the way the bot destroyed me was quite impressive.
After 14 turns the bot reduced its deck to two Upgrades, Fortress, Gold, Warehouse and Island.
Then turn 15 it was: play Upgrade, draw only card remaining, trash Fortress, gain Upgrade, play another Upgrade trashing the same Fortress, rinse and repeat. The Fortress was Upgraded 9 times to give the bot 7 remaining Upgrades and 2 Duchies.
Then it continued similar tricks for next 4 turns, Upgrading Fortress into Duchies, Duchies or Upgrades into Nobles and so on, till 3 piles were empty. Too bad Goko logs don't show trashed cards list, I would really like to see what ended up there :)

What did he end with? Turn 19 isn't THAT fast, and it seems like he couldn't go after Provinces. There is alt VP, but if he was trashing Duchy to get Nobles, that's not that great. Plus you can contest Duchies yourself.
-
Defender Bot - cards: 6 Island, 4 Nobles, 3 Upgrade, 1 Fortress, 2 Gold, 2 Copper, 4 Duchy, 2 Estate (34 points, 19 turns)
hsiale_ - cards: 2 Nobles, 2 Island, 1 Chapel, 1 Saboteur, 1 Count, 4 Copper, 3 Gold, 3 Silver, 3 Province, 2 Estate (28 points, 18 turns)
One more Province and I would win, I guess I'd do it if I played thinking only about the game. Overall his strategy probably looked was more impressive than efficient, seeing several Upgrades being played one after another with the same Fortress was something new to me and I didn't think it will work.

You might want to edit that to say "ednever's turn 21" (or copy-paste the log directly)... it took me a while to realize that those were both your turns, and not 2 different people's turns.

Pretty proud of the last turn here:
http://dominion.isotropic.org/gamelog/201212/07/game-20121207-094834-3b7e24d0.html
City game. Piles were running low, but no pile was empty - neither one of us wanted the other guy to get level 2 or 3 cities.
But with University and Develop on the board it was possible to activate cities mid-turn. Which was what I pulled off here.
What I like about this turn is that it used a lot of techniques that took me a long time to get:
- Activating cities mid-turn
- Watching the reshuffle very carefully (the previous turn I picked up Embassies for draw. And here I play a University to get a card just before the reshuffle is triggered)
- Using Develop effectively. And using it for it's top-decking in the end game - giving me exactly the card I need next
- Combining Highway/Bridge with gainers - using Develop to turn an Estate into a City
- Using University to pick up an Oasis- often the highest value card is not the right one to get at any given time
- Watching points carefully. I was ahead by one point - so all I had to do was empty three piles - I didn't need to get any VP (and three piles were at 1/1/2 cards left)

Played a game recently with Scrying Pool (and a bunch of other great engine cards i.e. Highway), Masq, and Black Market. I got Tounament and Mountebank from the Black Market deck, and he got Possession from the BM deck. He proceeded to Possess me and using my Masquerade pass himself the Mountebank, the Tournament, and more goodies such as Provinces.

Getting Possession from the BM deck is extremely lucky, since you need both BM+Potion+4 extra $ in hand!

I think he means, they both only bought one potion, and yet somehow the opponent got 8 Alchemists. If the opponent had gotten more than one potion, it could help explain how they got so many Alchemists.

There are times when you want two, I've found, both to get Alchs more quickly and to help set up the stack (by increasing the likelihood of finding a Potion when you still don't have many Alchs yet).

I don't claim to be an expert, but if I think Alchemist is going to be a key card, I will almost always pick up a second potion right away to win the split as well as keep the stack going, and it seems to have done me pretty well. When I do lose Alchemist games, it's because I either overestimated or underestimated how good they were for the set, not because I get out-Alchemist'd.

Another Goko one, but... sometimes, even when it probably isn't optimal, you feel compelled to ruin someone's day with a pin. Even if that someone is a bot.
And sometimes, just to rub salt in the wounds, you decide to end it by getting your Golfer achievement.

I call this one "I Need a Better Poker Face".
http://dominion.isotropic.org/gamelog/201212/28/game-20121228-161424-96188fc8.html
Ambassador, Apothecary, Chapel, Embargo, Haven, Peddler, Royal Seal, Stash, Treasure Map, Wharf.
I opened Treasure Map/Chapel. My opponent opened Potion/Ambassador, and tried for Treasure Maps later.
I hit the jackpot early, got a province, then started investing in Wharves. Meanwhile, my opponent couldn't get his Treasure Maps to collide. So he gave up, and Ambassadored his two Treasure Maps over to me.
Check out what happened at my turn 15 (opponent's name censored):
— TrojH's turn 15 —
TrojH plays a Wharf.
... drawing 2 cards and getting +1 buy.
TrojH plays a Silver, 2 Coppers, and a Gold.

XXX resigns from the game.
Emphasis mine. I got both of his Treasure Maps in my hand at the same time, but before I could cash them in, my opponent resigned.
I need a better poker face. My face is so easy to read, my opponent can read it through the internet. ;)

I don't claim to be an expert, but if I think Alchemist is going to be a key card, I will almost always pick up a second potion right away to win the split as well as keep the stack going, and it seems to have done me pretty well. When I do lose Alchemist games, it's because I either overestimated or underestimated how good they were for the set, not because I get out-Alchemist'd.
There have been games when I had 4 to make really sure there is no disconnection of the chain after a familiar slog and when I had to recover via conspirators from losing the split. (http://councilroom.com/game?game_id=game-20121225-163301-e6464f3c.html)

Let's end this with a magnificent misclick :
http://dominion.isotropic.org/gamelog/201212/31/game-20121231-050342-f93c9dce.html
— ChocophileBenj's turn 12 —
ChocophileBenj plays a King's Court.
... and plays an Ambassador.
Not this one !
— ChocophileBenj's turn 15 —
ChocophileBenj plays an Ambassador.
... ChocophileBenj reveals a King's Court.
Here it is ! I wanted of course to play in the reversal order... I even had some estates in hand !
He eventually lost by taking a while to play (i didn't boot him !)
