Dominion General Discussion / New Set?
« on: November 06, 2014, 08:18:50 pm »
I was listing to the audio version of Board Game Breakfast and during the news segment Tom mentioned that a new big box set was scheduled to be released for Dominion. He specifically mentioned that he though that the game was not going to have any more expansions. Does anyone have any more information than that?

How would it know if a word is spelled correctly if it's not in the dictionary?
It highlits the word it thinks you are spelling and if you don't realize it is guessing the wrong word before you hit the space bar it changes what you typed.

Have the hippocratic temperaments been revised or do you just have a problem with generally mellow people?
I was using my Kindle Fire to post that has auto-correct. The dumb thing changes the word you entered even if it was spelled correctly if it is not in its dictionary. I have corrected my post.

I'm the only INTJ.
My wife is an INTJ also.

I am efSJ.

ESFJ, you mean?
Yes. My computer crashed when I was posting. I did not get to double check it. But the "e" and the "f" were lowercase when I was evaluated. I can't find the paperwork, but I think I scored 3 points extrovert and 6 points feeling which got the small letters.

In college we were evaluated on a bunch of scales. So I know I am an eSfJ, first born, melancholy/phlegmatic that learns best by read/Wright and kinesthetic.

For what it's worth, I now have my copy. It's sleeved and ready to play.

 :P

Mine is still in the mail...

Goko Dominion Online / Re: Walled Village Question
« on: June 17, 2013, 10:39:25 pm »
If you play through all the adventures (including the Guilds ones that are not released yet) you will have enough VP for three promo cards. It is my understanding that Goko is play testing stash and black market. So of the five you will not be able to get two of them.

I don't believe that you can merge an existing account with a Google account, but you can look into it if you want walled city over the  other promos.

This is great!

Can you add a search feature for number of turns? I have had a lot crashing issues an  I want to see what the real ratio is vs what I feel it is.

Edit: Or better yet can you add a standing search? 1st, 2nd, etc. I think that would be helpful to more people because you learn more from your losses.

I am also very interested in this. I pre-ordered Guilds through an on-line retailer some time ago and now I have to move by July 14th. I just hope I get my set before I move.

I was born in the 14th state the year Ronald Reagan was elected president.

I grew up in a hunting culture, it was very common for guns to be in schools (mostly the students). And my high school had a walk in gun safe that you could leave your firearm in during the  day. (Wow things have changed.)

My first video game system was a used Atari.

My first tabletop game was Steve Jackson's Car Wars.

Oh, and I lived one mile from school growing up in a rural area. Taking the bus took an hour and forty-five minutes because I was the first picked up and the last dropped off. So I would walk to school (only took about forty-five minutes). There was a hill on the trip so I literally walked to school in the snow up hill both ways :) But I always wore shoes!

Dominion: Guilds Previews / Re: Preview #4: Butcher
« on: June 07, 2013, 07:09:24 am »
I wonder if any players will hesitate to butcher, say, a Noble Brigand.  A Jester?  The Ambassador?  Maybe an entire Village?

Or Princess, or Harem.

Or, of course, Scout.  No one wants to see that dude harmed.
Great, Dominion meet cannibalism.

I think programmers, engineers and other fields that focus on problem solving tend to be tabletop gammers. I think the key is the enjoyment of overcoming obstacles and finding a new solution that no one else has found.

I, for example, am a Civil design specialist (one step below an engineer) that knows AutoLISP and VisualLISP because it makes my job easier. I work a a Civil Firm that employees about 80 people and there are quite a few that play Dominion.

16
The thing is, and this will probably sound much more harsh than I want it to, but I don't really care for what reason people disconnect. It doesn't matter to me or the game if it's due to device compability issues, connection or people just resigning. If one player leaves, for any reason at all, the game ends. And I don't want that. In 2p games I don't really care about quit %, but in 3p it ruins the experience for me.
Believe me, if anyone understands I do. That is the reason I stopped playing people. I just don't want to see a number assigned to all games and not be able to play members of this community.

17
I have never quit either, but had some games give up on me. But I've only ended up with a 1% quit. The thing is that with the current way of handling disconnects in games with more than two players, I would prefer not to play someone who has a 1/12 disconnect rate if there are other people with lower rates on.
I don't have a bad connection. I use a tablet that runs the android operating system. This is intrperted as a Mobil device by the server. Until May 10th that was not an issue, now 40%+ of my games crash. I have not played a game since my quit % topped 8. I am just frustrated with the site and being penalize for something I have no control over. I guess I just don't want salt added to the wound once I can play again.

18
Quit % is not always right. Currently I have a 8% quit rating and I have NEVER quit a game. All those games are from crashes that the surver did not identify as network connection errors or programing errors.

Introductions / Re: Greetings & Salutations
« on: May 28, 2013, 11:09:25 pm »
I started with Intrigue (for Christmas) and a month later got Prosparity. After playing the additional set I knew I was hooked. I got a bonus from work so I was able to get all the sets or all but one and sleeves. Since I once was a competitive ccg player I decided on the sleeves, and since Alchemy had the lowest reviews of the sets I skipped it.

I have enjoyed playing with the cards on goko, so I most likely will get it at some point.

Introductions / Greetings & Salutations
« on: May 27, 2013, 11:14:12 am »
I just found this section so I figured I'd introduce myself.

I am in my thirties, married with three kids. I consider myself a gammer with a decent collection (14 card games, 16 board games, 7 miniature games, and 9 different RPGs).

I work in the civil engineering field, though I am not an engineer.

I am relatively new to dominion, only having got the game for Christmas. Since then I have purchased all the sets except alchemy (Gulids is on order). This is a great game and a favorite for my wife and I.

Since goko's moved dominion back into bats testing, does that mean that iso can come back on-line?

What are people using now for storage? I have all the sets but Alchemy and sleeved everything. I currently am using the "shoebox" style 1600 count box with dividers for the alphabet. I have Guilds on order and am going to get Alchemy some time this summer. That will put me 300 cards over the capacity of my current box.

Goko Dominion Online / can't play on goko...
« on: May 10, 2013, 08:40:56 pm »
I noticed that the goko home page now has green across the bottom and thought "oh, another update." When I log into my account using my Kindle Fire HD the site lets me enter the adventures but errors out at the stupid zaps screen then the Kibble screen goes black an I have to hard reboot it. I also tried playing bots and am able to play one hand before the same screen freeze and black screen.

I have been playing on goko since I created an account here using the same devise. Has anyone else had any problems? I have not tried to play a game vs a person because I don't want them to have to deal with the issue if it is on my side.
