You can do that, true. But I myself did the same stuff one-two times and was obv!town till the end of the game or being killed.
I mean what in the world can scum know about town roles? Nothing. So ii will be caught on lies just like that.
What does "the same stuff" mean here?
Cryptic telling about the role. It was either a vague breadcrumb or this stuff.
Right, that's what I thought. And so you don't think there's any likelihood that there's a community meta that doing this nonsense gets you tagged as obvtown out of the gate? Which scum could then exploit?

How is it just like that?
II would be caught is skummy phrasing
II/whomever could only be caught if a claim went through
Your first statement and your last don't parse
What I am trying to say is that if you're town and you make a cryptic message about your role, and you are being lynched, you just say what you meant and mostly you're clear. If you're scum leaving a cryptic message about town role, then when you are being lynched, you can't do anything because you will be caught on lies. In this game scum has no info about town roles if I have read the setup correctly, so there's no incentive to enter D1 with risky claim.
PPE: 2
When did II say that his cryptic message was about his *role*? I thought it was just about the PM. IIRC last time someone pulled this it was Awaclus talking about the effing time stamp or something.

Maybe that’s a bad example actually, since it takes 2 turns to gain something, but you also don’t have to worry about it getting sniped from the trash so it probably more than evens out.

Dominion General Discussion / Re: Interview with Donald X.
« on: January 25, 2018, 02:56:02 pm »Why does Ritual say "+1VP per 1$ it cost" and not "+1VP per 1$ it costs"? To me, "cost" implies past-tense, like the card now ceases to be. But it's just in the trash.There's no good reason. Some cards refer to the current cost and some to the past cost, and it's just, what words fell out onto the card, what sounded good that minute. In general it's probably simpler to refer to the current cost so they should all do that.
I see an edge case here. You can trash an inherited Estate with Quarry in play. In the trash it costs always $2, but in your hand it can cost $0.
Like this for example:
The first corner case that springs to mind for me is:
• Use Inheritance (it doesn't matter which Action you choose)
• Play Quarry
• Use Ritual on an Estate
• Get no VP
Because the Estate was an Action-Victory when you trashed it, Quarry reduced its to $0. The moment the Estate leaves your ownership it reverts to being a plain Victory card, costing $2.
I'm sure there are others.
?

Dominion Articles / Re: Donate + Windfall
« on: January 23, 2018, 03:27:52 pm »Ok, what am I missing here? Why would you trash a Gold on Turn 4, regardless of how much debt you have?
If you trash down to 2 cards you can Windfall twice because after the first you still have a 5 card deck. You can't do this if you have too much debt because then you won't be able to afford Windfall after paying it off. Unfortunately I can't get the simulator to do this so I can't compare it to single or double Windfall very well. It seems too slow for the mirror, but in the non-mirror I can see it being correct.
ahh, ok duh

I am not joking. What was meant?
Maybe I’m wrong, but I understood this as just using the tavern mat as a physical place to put island and the cards that go with it instead of using a separate island mat, but not that you would actually consider such cards to be “on your tavern mat” for the purposes of cards that say such things like Miser.
