Game Reports / Re: Dear My Opponent: I am Sorry
« on: October 24, 2012, 01:48:34 pm »
Dear TheSadPanda: I am sorry.
I forgot the ancient maxim: "Don't ever underestimate Highway/Wharf, even in a Colony/Mountebank/Bishop game." My grandfather taught that to me when I was little, but for some reason it slipped my mind until a few moments ago when you amazed me.
I thought for sure I had the game locked up, and then your brilliant comeback reopened my eyes. Alas, you did not deserve to fall short by just one point after that amazing use of Highway/Wharf/Farmland, 87pts. to 86. Sadly, it was a win that went to the lesser man.

« on: October 22, 2012, 12:54:22 pm »Twilight Struggle is a typical "Bucket List" game for me, really want to play it at least once in my life - if only to see what the fuss is about - but I need someone who has a copy to play it with.
Pick a more sensible place to live? Nobody puts influence into Benelux.
Except with some really eccentric US openings.
Or you've lost the Med countries and have nowhere better to place your Marshall Plan IP.
But yes, except for these (and other) overly pedantic edge cases, I wholeheartedly agree with the spirit of Frisk's joke.

Dominion: Dark Ages Previews / Re: Best set to mix with DA?
« on: August 24, 2012, 11:40:37 am »I know you said full size expansions, but I think Alchemy would be fun. Beggar/Phil Stone makes for a nice combo, and Fortress gives Apprentice infinite fuel, as long as they collide. But maybe it's just because I'm one of the three people in the world who likes Alchemy.
Hey, I'm one of those three! Nice to finally meet you!

Dominion General Discussion / Re: A Completely Unreasonable Proposal To Save Isotropic
« on: August 24, 2012, 11:36:05 am »Of course if you put up a Zombinion server and let anyone in who gives lip service and says they bought the original dominion, unethical use is going to occur. But I would put the blame on the person lying, because lying is wrong, and if you just ask people whether they bought the game that's an efficient way to put the ethical ball in their court.
There are NES emulation sites that practice this philosophy, they put up copies of old school NES games and, in text on the page, urge you to play only if you own a hardcopy of the actual game. I go to such sites to play games I own dusty copies of for my NES, like Zelda. I do not think it is unethical for me to play games I already own on online emulators.
To put it in a boardgaming context, a friend of mine just introduced me to wargameroom.com, where they have an online implementation of Manoeuvre, a fun little game that I enjoy playing with my gaming group.
And the same thing as you are referencing is used there: users are instructed to only play the game if one of the participants owns a physical copy of the game. Apparently all of the games there have similar language. Pretty nifty.

I don't get it. Call me dense.
I you Steward for +$2 to buy a Gold, the opportunity cost is not trashing 2 Coppers, and a $2 buy. So if you trash 2 Coppers and buy a Cache (for $2), that's basically the same as if you +$2 and buy a Gold.
... ... neat

Dominion General Discussion / Re: General Priorities
« on: August 22, 2012, 03:12:27 pm »Militia and Cutpurse's attacks are too similar to be in the same set.
I remember one IRL game where I saw Cutpurse and thought "I really need to use this card more... all the best players find ways to use even the crappiest cards on certain boards. I'll open Cutpurse/Silver."
My opponent opened Militia.
*D'oh!*
Now, Militia is always (edit: ALMOST ALWAYS) better than Cutpurse, so that was a pretty stupid move.
Edit: The amazing (yet always respectful) band of pedants (of which I am one) on this site are probably going to chime in with when Cutpurse is better than Militia.
**snap*** ***snap*** Hey pedants, over here! Now that I have your attention, can you tell me when Cutpurse is better than Militia? All corner cases please... ... ... GO:
(seriously. I'm wondering...)
