[hsiale]

Just played a game on Goko with Chapel, Upgrade, Saboteur and Island, so there were lots of ways to get cards out of your deck. Talking on the phone, I didn't play very focused and had no real plan for the game, but the way the bot destroyed me was quite impressive.

After 14 turns the bot reduced its deck to two Upgrades, Fortress, Gold, Warehouse and Island.

Then turn 15 it was: play Upgrade, draw only card remaining, trash Fortress, gain Upgrade, play another Upgrade trashing the same Fortress, rinse and repeat. The Fortress was Upgraded 9 times to give the bot 7 remaining Upgrades and 2 Duchies.

Then it continued similar tricks for next 4 turns, Upgrading Fortress into Duchies, Duchies or Upgrades into Nobles and so on, till 3 piles were empty. Too bad Goko logs don't show trashed cards list, I would really like to see what ended up there

What did he end with?  Turn 19 isn't THAT fast, and it seems like he couldn't go after Provinces.  There is alt VP, but if he was trashing Duchy to get Nobles, that's not that great.  Plus you can contest Duchies yourself.

[hsiale]

Defender Bot - cards: 6 Island, 4 Nobles, 3 Upgrade, 1 Fortress, 2 Gold, 2 Copper, 4 Duchy, 2 Estate (34 points, 19 turns)
hsiale_ - cards: 2 Nobles, 2 Island, 1 Chapel, 1 Saboteur, 1 Count, 4 Copper, 3 Gold, 3 Silver, 3 Province, 2 Estate (28 points, 18 turns)

One more Province and I would win, I guess I'd do it if I played thinking only about the game. Overall his strategy probably looked was more impressive than efficient, seeing several Upgrades being played one after another with the same Fortress was something new to me and I didn't think it will work.

You might want to edit that to say "ednever's turn 21" (or copy-paste the log directly)... it took me a while to realize that those were both your turns, and not 2 different people's turns.

[eHalcyon]

Didn't look at the full log, but why not ski the middle man and go province to province?

Thought about it. But I was't confident enough at that point to not take the extra 4vp.

Pretty proud of the last turn here:
http://dominion.isotropic.org/gamelog/201212/07/game-20121207-094834-3b7e24d0.html

City game. Piles were running low, but no pile was empty - neither one of us wanted the other guy to get level 2 or 3 cities.

But with University and Develop on the board it was possible to activate cities mid-turn. Which was what I pulled off here.

What I like about this turn is that it used a lot of techniques that took me a long time to get:
- Activating cities mid-turn
- Watching the reshuffle very carefully (the previous turn I picked up Embassies for draw. And here I play a University to get a card just before the reshuffle is triggered)
- Using Develop effectively. And using it for it's top-decking in the end game - giving me exactly the card I need next
- Combining Highway/Bridge with gainers - using Develop to turn an Estate into a City
- Using University to pick up an Oasis- often the highest value card is not the right one to get at any given time
- Watching points carefully. I was ahead by one point - so all I had to do was empty three piles - I didn't need to get any VP (and three piles were at 1/1/2 cards left)

I think I must have somehow drained out all the rage the last few days, because I was unusually calm about being first player on a Border Village/Torturer board, taking the lead on Torturers, and then still being on the receiving end of all the chaining nastiness and losing with absolutely ridiculously bad shuffle luck.

Specifically, on turn 15, at the end of the shuffle:

Played a game recently with Scrying Pool (and a bunch of other great engine cards i.e. Highway), Masq, and Black Market. I got Tounament and Mountebank from the Black Market deck, and he got Possession from the BM deck. He proceeded to Possess me and using my Masquerade pass himself the Mountebank, the Tournament, and more goodies such as Provinces.

[Davio]

Getting Possession from the BM deck is extremely lucky, since you need both BM+Potion+4 extra $ in hand!

How many potions are you supposed to buy?

I think he means, they both only bought one potion, and yet somehow the opponent got 8 Alchemists. If the opponent had gotten more than one potion, it could help explain how they got so many Alchemists.

[zahlman]

There are times when you want two, I've found, both to get Alchs more quickly and to help set up the stack (by increasing the likelihood of finding a Potion when you still don't have many Alchs yet).
