I'm probably going to show up and put my name on the waiting list like I did last year in order to play some sessions.

I need to go to one of these sometime. I live in Madison, WI so it's a bit of a drive, but I still remember Chicago fondly. Voltaire if you do schedule one in the upcoming months remember to check against GenCon. I think it's kind of early this year.

Hey Stef. Can we get a little more information on how promotion/demotion/inserting and removing people is going to work? I read your post in the rules and regulations, and there were a lot of "may's" and conditionals in it. It might be better to have some sort of ironclad algorithm set out before you release season 2 divisions. The more vague the rules are the more people will complain.

I haven't looked at dominate much. I ran some sims and you may be right about the strategy being less than effective.
Only thing I think is missing from those graphs is variance/confidence intervals. I have a feeling that I tend to run high-variance strategy's (for instance one's involving Bank) quite a lot.

Hey Alan. Nice commentary.
Game 1 I don't know what I was thinking. Buying the Hunting Partys and not buying a Marauder was my major mistake and all the ruins slowed me down to the point where I couldn't get any money.
Game 2 I think came down to the fact that you had 4 first turn and didn't buy a Militia. So I gleefully went Militia - Silver. In fact I don't think you bought a Militia until close to mid-end game which meant I could ignore Watchtower entirely for more Silver's and Tournaments. In fact that game you lost probably cause you went too defensive. You bought too many Watchtowers and Lighthouses to defend against my one Militia.
Game 3... Man. I'm going to admit there I screwed up. The first time I got 5 I thought I already had a curser so I bought Bandit Camp. Turns out I didn't. By the time I bought one it was too late.
Game 4 I probably won because I started 5 -2. Witch/Courtyard is a very powerful starting hand.
Game 5 was really close. I think if I had paid down and bought a few Ventures when I had 6 or 7 I might have won. Really too close to call.
The very last game. In general Montebank is better than Soothsayer. However if you look at the supporting cards you see that there is pretty good trashing (remake and forge), plus no engine, plus the addition of Colonies/Platinums means the game is going to last longer. Plus Montebank gives you an out (discard a curse which I think I did 2 or 3 times) while Soothsayer doesn't. So basically the Soothsayer vs Montebank argument is what is the card going to behave like when the curses run out. In that case I'd much rather have a card that gives me a gold vs a card that gives me two coins and gives my opponent a copper.
