When did you gain reputation then?  You lost 2 reputation points during round 1

I guess you killed a rampaging enemy and i forgot?

4952
Didn't Watno have a negative influence bonus from Reputation at the start of the round?

After the spike in popularity this might be a good idea again.

Puzzles and Challenges / Re: Moneylender puzzle
« on: March 19, 2013, 06:56:39 pm »
The question itself puzzles me, since Moneylender has no 'may'.

Just like TR has no "may play an action twice", Moneyleder doesn't because it was in the first set. KC does, only because card wording was more refined in the expansions. So when I play, I consider it to be "may trash a copper".


Well, the "may" isn't there on KC for design reasons, iirc, it's there to provide a cheatcheck.  It's not like the card is more interesting with a may.  If you're playing among honest folks you might as well play it as written.

Obviously you're free to do whatever the heck you want, you can have your Thieves stealing treasures to hand if you want.  But there is no "errata" on Throne Room, it is what it is.

I think it's less interesting if you add in a "may", you don't have to fit in another +buy to your HoP engine to get a Copper every turn or what have you.

Forum Games / Re: Make this board viewable by guests?
« on: March 19, 2013, 06:46:50 pm »
Is it worth making this board guest-viewable so that more people are tempted into registering to play Forum Games?

The drawback used to be that the RSS feed would basically be pure Forum Games posts, but hopefully there'd be less of that now that the actual game threads are moved away.

It still gets a lot of traffic.

I don't know. I'll probably vote 'no' personally, because one of the things that I really enjoy is having the community of players be a group that was (and is) brought together by Dominion originally. I don't want to be a draw for people who are coming "just because they see 'X' being played as PBF" and have no interest in Dominion.

To me it's kind of like thinking... "Oh no! f.DS will die without Iso!" - No, f.DS's core is Dominion. Iso was a nice platform. But that isn't what brought everybody here. I don't want the draw to playing Forum Games on f.DS to be "Forum Games", rather "People who enjoyed Dominion playing other games together". Is it limiting? Yes, probably. But I think it keeps the community closer. I know everybody who plays here. I'm worried that having it publicly available might deteriorate the community in the long run. I would hate to see a "Decline of Civility on Forum Games" thread at any point in the future...

I think it'd be more accurate to say f.DS would die without Dominion, and some might make the argument that Dominion dies without iso.. (I'm not saying that, to be clear)

The feature is totally fine/reasonable.

But that particular game for spy.  I mean, it's just that there was nothing good in 5s and he didn't want a gold.  It's not that the spy was good, it was mildly better than being actively harmful.
Isn't that a glass half empty/half full thing?

4957
One of those spikes has got to be the day my addicted self started playing.

echo effect covers slide rule with another card.

Or slide rule was shared.

Do you attend scummeets?  I'm curious, I imagine Dominion might seem some play at them.

I believe in you though.

Always share Metalworking

Which he typed next in the same post as an image contradicting that description.  I checked twice.

You mean a permanent change in the game state.

The top card of the 8 deck moved to the bottom.

If there was only one card in the 8 deck, the top and bottom cards are the same.
That's what I get for skimming threads.

4964
Jorbles, I'm pretty sure that's a dungeon, not a Monster den.  It's almost the same thing, except you can't use Units to help you fight the Brown enemy token and you get a bigger prize (a spell or artifact at random)

4965
Use Green Mana from source to empower March for move 4
Play Tranquility sideways for move 1
Flip Leaves in the Wind for a white token and green crystal
Empower Crystallize with a blue crystal from inventory to gain a red crystal.
Move to the space under the poisonous orcs, and provoke them.
Use white mana token to empower Swiftness for Ranged Attack 3.
Use a white crystal to empower my other swiftness for Ranged Attack 3.
Defeat the orcs.

End Result should be: Reputation +1, Fame +3, -1 white crystal, -1 blue crystal +1 green crystal, +1 red crystal.

Replace the green mana with:
This dice roll may have been tampered with!
Rolled 1d6 : 4, total 4

cards remaining in hand?

Yes, I run Asmadi Games, and helped Carl develop Innovation into the awesomeness that it became. 

I am hugely in favor of this implementation's existence.  It's great to be able to play the game cleanly and quickly online!

Iello I believe plans to release a digital version at some point, but they're in Europe so I'd like to think this version will be unaffected.

You can't promise though?

Clothing/Domestication is the best opening, given no information about your opponent's hand, imo.  Because a subset of Domestication/Clothing hands "checkmate" the opponent: there's a few scenarios where you get Monument off the Clothing, at which point it's pretty much over.  It's like Metalworking Monument except with icon control.

4968
Take blue mana from the source to power Crystallization, gaining a green mana crystal.  End my turn. 

Rolled 1d6 : 4, total 4

4969
My activity level might drop until thursday

TECHNICALLY doesn't theorel select the card he wants to search for before he finds out what the next tactic choice is?

4971
Which one is the dragon?  Goldyx?  I can play that to help Insomniac out.

You can go further.  Sometimes the correct play is to let your opponent share a dogma that nets him 10 points and an achievement the next turn, because it also nets you 10 points and an achievement this turn, and you are ahead on achievements.  It's like trading Queens from ahead.

No one has achieved anything (1-9 and the other four are still available)

No 10 cards have ever been drawn or played.

With a single action, I end the game and win.

What happened?
You shared Collaboration with 10 green cards on your board?

You mean a permanent change in the game state.

The top card of the 8 deck moved to the bottom.

Staying next to your keep is like finding a potion for your alchemist.
