Hi. I'd like to add my contribution to this thread.
I've played maybe a couple hundred games or so on Isotropic, and last night I had the first instance of anyone being anything less than completely friendly and polite. It wasn't really that bad either. Here's the log.
http://dominion.isotropic.org/gamelog/201203/28/game-20120328-133803-b3775a07.htmlThe chat log looks like this (I looked down to say gg and saw this)
16:35 Walruswhiskers: well aren't you a fancy fucker
16:38 Walruswhiskers: tactician stacking is so lame, but it is okay, you can still end it all by quitting this game
16:38 Walruswhiskers has returned to the lobby.
I thought if he really thought tactician stacking was so lame, maybe he shouldn't have let me do it -- he let me grab 8 Merchant Ships, which was really the only thing on the board that made my tactician engine viable. He also gave me 20 turns to work with, and never forced me to pick up any Duchies. Oh well...
I realize I played far from optimally here, this was my first time building a double-tactician deck with any success at all, and I realize I did plenty of silly things to get there. The fact that Jack actually helped me is probably not so good. I also figured how to better play the Native Villages halfway through the game. I also bought a potion but never ended up picking up any Vineyards (whoops...)
