Dominion General Discussion / Re: How to Win Less...

I bet my advice on how to win would ultimately lead to you losing more. At least, when it comes to Dominion.

If you put sleeves on Events and Landmarks, do you use card sleeves?
I love these discussions that don't actually go anywhere useful.

Dominion General Discussion / Re: Asking for Undo
« on: November 14, 2017, 12:15:20 am »If I didn't have fun in games where I lost, I would have never bought 10 boxes full of Dominion cards.Do you find it poor manners to be denied an undo? There are situations where it is an obvious mistake, such as pressing the end turn button instead of the end actions button.
I have gotten back into the game recently since I left at the end of the iso days. I haven't had problems with impolite players on .games until today when I had two players who refused undos. I am fully aware that I might be the asshole by blocking those people, but I'm not aware of the conventions. Is that not an asshole move to refuse a quick undo? I'm happy to follow the norms of the community, no matter how cutthroat it is or not, but I want to know how people stand on refusing an undo. Am I doing these players wrong by resigning and blocking them? Is it normal to refuse an undo and still be someone people want to play with?
I can see games where I grant Undo even with them gleaming knowledge. Some of the best and most fun games I've played were ones where I lost.

Dominion Online at Shuffle iT / Re: Is it okay to buy Possession?
« on: November 12, 2017, 12:19:12 am »I guess I was figuring the starting deck would be EEECCCCCCP, and like Shelters or Heirlooms the Potion would not be a supply pile. Now your opening hands can get those Potion cost cards without worrying about missing that shuffle. You don't pay the opportunity cost on a Buy, but you are stuck with it unless you trash it. I'm going to try it next time Potion cards come up, just because I want to see how much it affects those first few turns.I wonder how broken it would be to replace a Copper with a Potion if Alchemy cards are out? You aren't at risk of missing the shuffle that way.
Pretty bad/broken/awful.
1) It kills the potion mechanic (potion is an opportunity cost, the strength of the potion cards revolve around having to invest into potion first, otherwise they'd be super strong)
2) Sometimes you want Potions late, and it's irritating why you would have to start with them in those games (aka vineyard,golem, posssession)
3) Hitting 3 Potion is already annoying on the second shuffle, but imagine one player getting a Familiar and one player getting nothing instead.
1. So I agree with this, they would be strong, but its equal for everyone. Maybe this version of Potion would be like Cursed Gold, where you gain a curse by playing it...
2. It's irritating to start with Estates and Copper, too right?
3. It really just deflects that randomness to the opening hands instead of that first shuffle. Starting hands would be 2/4P, 3/3P, 4/2P, 5/1P instead of the 3/4, 2/5 of a non-Potion game.

I think at least one person is using "synergy" to mean something along the lines of, "when X and Y are used together, extra function Z happens."

I would contest that cycling cards and villages have synergy because they can't really be an engine on their own, but can create an engine together.

Please start a thread about "nothing". Not about nothing, because that's what this thread is. Try not to be ambiguous.

Dominion General Discussion / Re: Male and female cards (again)
« on: November 09, 2017, 03:33:43 pm »Using the first post, I came up with average values:A Warlock would give out 1.266 curses when you played it.
I figure he would do equal work, but would cost 6.33 coins.
Male: $3.90 (135)
Female: $4.33 (55)
NA/Both: $3.35 (165)
(Note: The card list I used included Landmarks, which drops the average values as they have no cost.)
[In RSP style, women make less than half what men make, because there's less of them.]

Dominion Articles / Re: Etiquette in Dominion Online
« on: November 02, 2017, 04:42:14 pm »This is pretty much why I don't play online. There's no way you would enjoy playing a game against me.Part of playing dominion is losing (Yes, that includes watching other players have good turns).
No, it includes admitting defeat by resigning.In any kind of contest you should be a gracious loser. Finish what you started. You shouldn't just quit whenever you feel like it.
Resigning isn't quitting. The moment I resign, the game is finished, and I'm the loser.Unless you're playing solitaire.
No, I don't like playing solitaire and that's why I prefer for my opponent to resign as soon as they have no chance of winning so that we can start a new game instead of having me play solitaire for a while, and I return the favor when I have no chance of winning.

Attended? Probably the Indians playoff team in the 90s.
Watched? Game 7 of the 2016 NBA Finals.
How's my team doing currently? They just went to London and embarrassed the NFL by sucking, again.
Funniest? When Average Joe's came back against Globogym in the ADAA Finals.
Edit: I've always preferred playing to watching.
