With 3 players going hard Beggar-Garden, the Copper, Beggar, and Gardens piles can empty in 8 or 9 turns. Since it basically becomes a toss-up as to which person wins, I am exploring ways to beat the strategy. Playing in 2p does give you a lot more time, but it also gives the Beggar-Garden person time to bloat the deck and he can easily start in on the Duchy pile. Now I feel like making a chart showing the per-turn score of an Beggar-Garden deck...  ::)

It makes sense if you read it as him being stoned out of his mind to where he doesn't really understand anything he's doing.

Actually, I wondered how much buying the first Gold over the first Witch was a mistake.
According to the simulators, assuming a 4/3 start, it loses 41.1 - 55.1 - 3.8 to standard DoubleWitch.

Buy Witch first.

But really, your strategy should depend on more than just those two factors. Is the red mallard for bad advice?

Where would the world be without imagelinkfixers?

If being active on F.DS has taught me one thing, it's that there's basically an edge case for everything. And I'm not talking just Dominion-stuff, but really anything. There's always someone who has to point out some stupid factoid about simple metaphors. That's just the way Dominion makes you think.

I'm guilty of this myself. Whenever there's a simple rules question to which a one line answer will suffice (at least for the OP), I'm always thinking: "How can I explain this in more detail?" And what I inevitably end up doing is make things more complicated than need be, even with wrong examples. It's just the mindset that every possible post can be "improved" upon, because Dominion has so many edge cases that you can't really post something default about it.

Try teaching science!  Our edge cases have edge cases with edge cases.

Wait wait ... are you implying that two parallel superconducting lines of infinite length with a distance of exactly one meter in an absolute vacuum are a thought experiment rather than an accurate description of reality?

No. He is saying that in a simple electric motor, an armature rotating back and forth periodically under DC current will always stop itself due to friction unless it is in a frictionless system which is virtually impossible in the world as we know it.  Unless they find another world free of friction.......

That's an awful joke, but I'll let it slide this time.

Naw. He's already revealed his hand (for menagerie or Hunting Party or something) and it's clear that he's going to play KC-KC-Governor-Governor-Governor, remodeling every time, and ending the game. Ergo, he doesn't want you to be able to get another province off of the defensive trash.
