Goko Dominion Online / Re: Games not (playing)

« on: April 30, 2014, 05:53:44 pm »

I'm having the same problems, can create a game but no-one joins, and can't add bots either. Additionally, my automatch isn't working, and the people in the lobby seem to be sorted randomly (not by rating, like my default setting), and I can't click on their avatars to view other information like usual. Basically, Goko's being rubbish, and as a result some of the extension things aren't working for me

EDIT: I can play bots using the "Play Bots" option, when I do this, the in-game Salvager extension is working fine

GokoDom / Re: GokoDom III: Playoff Round Results and Discussion

« on: April 28, 2014, 05:49:57 am »

I make a horrible missclick on turn 12 where i accidently trash my bank to the counterfeit

That trashed bank of yours was something!
The most fun thing about it was that Jsh hadn't noticed you had trashed it. And when you wrote to him something like "oh no! That game is lost for me" or so, he was commenting it like "hmm, why, why is he talking like that? Is it the dud hand or what?"

The chat for that game was hilarious, because Jsh spent the rest of the game wondering why Markow never drew 2 banks together, and most things Jsh said were wrong, as based on Markow having 2 banks. Fun game, not sure many people thought baker would be good enough, though.

Goko Dominion Online / Re: Lobby Size Limits

« on: April 25, 2014, 12:20:51 pm »

Going to take a guess at what it's doing:

I think it's taking the number of players in the room but not playing - the number of people who are playing from that room (or something similar).

So, if 15 people in the room haven't got games, and there are 10 2-player games on (so 20 people playing), this gives -5 players. It's something daft like this, I guess.

Dominion Videos and Streams / Re: Dominion Live Streams

Let's jump on the bandwagon, coz why not?

Planning to broadcast some Dominion around 2000 UK Time tomorrow (30 hours, 20 minutes from this message, 1500 Eastern time, 1200 Pacific time, I believe), should be a good experience. Looking for opponent(s), PM me if interested. I'm not the best (5000 Goko rating, 23ish on Isotropish rating), but think it'll be fun to stream some games, get told my strategies are rubbish etc..

EDIT: Put some trial running games against Lord Bottington on there (http://www.twitch.tv/joseph2302), am aware of the fact you can't see the province/duchy/estate piles in the first 2 games, it's sorted now

EDIT 2: I know I type loudly, can't help it, sorry. Also, currently using my laptop's own microphone, but getting a headset soon, so should be better.

EDIT 3: Decided to postpone til I get a headset in a couple of days.

Rules Questions / Re: Baker questions

« on: April 20, 2014, 07:10:02 am »

Also, according to dominion online, if Baker is in the black market deck, we get an extra coin token. I'm wondering if this is correct.

Yes you do, it's in the Setup rules on Baker card, so you do it.

It's the same as with many other cards with setup rules on the card, if they are in Black Market deck i.e.:
Young Witch- Add Bane Card
Tournament- Add Prizes
Pirate Ship/Island/Native Village\Trade Route\ any VP token giver (Bishop, Goons, Monument)- Get the mats out
Looters (e.g Marauder/ Death Cart)- Add Ruins Deck

won game by emptying the scout pile- although in fairness, my opponent buying 7 scouts made my victory practically inevitable!!

Dominion League / Re: Rules & Regulations - discussion

« on: April 17, 2014, 07:02:58 am »

Question: Can we request bye's if we dont have time to do a match?

Half-point splits awarded by mutual agreement?  1.5 points to each side for the match of 6 games? But I think the flexibility of being able to schedule the matches ANY time during the season should help byes be needed very infrequently.

Surely people can find enough slots in 5-6 weeks to play all their games? If not, I think the above idea is good, so as not to get weird results in the week i.e. people agreeing to draw, as it is mutually beneficial.

Just checking, is it fine for me to schedule all my games in the last 2.5-3 weeks of the season then? I have exams until 3rd June (ish), and so am really busy before that, and free almost all the time after that, so will definitely be able to play them all in that time frame.

Introductions / Re: Hi

« on: April 15, 2014, 07:01:14 am »

Hi,

Nice to see lots of new faces on the Forum. Just because you're new to Dominion doesn't necessarily make you bad, I still miss obvious things, and I've played thousands of games online!! (for instance about 2 days ago, I completely failed to notice there were 2 or 3 good potions cost cards in a kingdom until about turn 3- unsurprisingly, I lost)

Also, have you checked out http://wiki.dominionstrategy.com/index.php/Main_Page, it's a good source of information about cards/combos etc..

I can confirm that all Tables are for the idea of playing Dominion.

I thought tables were for eating? that's what you taught me.

Variants and Fan Cards / Re: Overpay for VP tokens

« on: March 29, 2014, 04:46:40 pm »

I see it too prone to stalemating, though. Why would you green at all if you have the chance to keep building money, and money is immediately translated into points? It seems to me this would be worse than the existing VP token cards in that sense. There is almost no incentive to buy any other green if any kind of big payload engine is available. At least Goons forces you to buy terminals, with this, you can keep adding cantrip money or hoarding coin tokens without any harm. It kind-of turns Baker into a cantrip VP generator, which is really bad.

There's only ten of them, though.

As they're victory cards, there will actually be 8/12 of them.

Goko Dominion Online / Re: Beyond cheaters, this is why we have the isotropish leaderboard

« on: March 29, 2014, 12:50:25 pm »

There's a massive discrepancy at times between Goko and Isotropish ratings. For instance, I'm currently at Goko rating 4853, isotropish level 21. I'm sat in great hall, and there are 6 people within +/- 300 rating of me. On isotropish ratings, they range between levels 12 and 30. Clearly someone's rating is a lot worse? (I'm guessing Goko's)

Scout has its uses.

Not sure I agree with this, simulation suggests 0 is almost always the optimal number of Scouts.

« on: March 20, 2014, 10:55:38 am »

you know there's a diffenrece between liking a card and estimating its power level?

Yes, however I do tend to think cards I like are strong. Although, obviously I know Ambassador/Masquerade/Rebuild etc.. are strong, despite not particularly liking any of these.

Tunnel should be 2, and market square 1, they're just both amazing- my favourite 2 cards!!

Wait, Tunnel isn't your favourite card any more? I remember the days of you always trying to include Tunnel in the kingdom...

Nah market square is much more fun, more golds more easily etc. Also, now is a good time to point out my avatar is market square, so i obviously like it more.

Variants and Fan Cards / Re: Overpay for VP tokens

« on: March 19, 2014, 06:42:40 pm »

I was thinking about simple ways that a card could give you VP based on the number of coins available, and overpay for VP chips seemed like an easy way to do that.

Type: Victory
Cost: $4
Worth 2 VP.
For each $2 you overpay when you buy this, +1 VP token.

as is the card is horrible.

4$: Tunnel
6$: Duchy
8$: 2 Tunnels
10$: Duchy and Tunnel
12$: Province
20$: Colony

Eh. I guess you can trash the card and keep the vp, but man, that's way too situative to be useful

How about, $1 for 1VP instead, would make it stronger.

4$: Tunnel
5$: Duchy
6$: 2 Tunnels
7$: Duchy and Tunnel
8$: Province
12$: Colony

Dominion General Discussion / Re: Favorite Alt-VP card

« on: March 19, 2014, 10:25:54 am »

No Great Hall?

More to the point, no island or tunnel? they're both stronger than great hall, tunnel is awesome!

Probably Colony, though it's not on the list. Usually trumps any other alt-vp except possibly Goons and rewards long-term strategy and engine building.

I agree, Colony is nice and game-changing too.
