Randal FTW:
Thats so dirty.

guided:
There are few ironclad strategy rules in Dominion, but surely the most ironclad of all is "Don't buy Ambassador or Masquerade in a Possession game unless you have a good plan for trashing it quickly."

...but I've accidentally forgotten once or twice, too ;) Never with quite as spectacular results as this, though, so thanks for the story!

Axe Knight:
I.  feel.  your.  pain.  Probably not as bad as yours, but this was a Level 0 player (at the time), who won after Possessing me on the last turn (albeit without King's Court and Tactician), and made a huge comeback with 8 curses, 17 coppers, and an opponent who !Possession for quite a while after that.  I was so sure I was going to win after trashing my Ambassador and being ahead (even after making a very questionable move earlier), but some days the bear gets you.
