Instantly rematching someone after taking a beating is actually very beneficial to your level. Going first is HUGE.

Sure, the first turn advantage is huge. But what is more important, much more important, is to take a deep breath and relax. Your status as belonging in the first-seat pool will not change if you go to the bathroom, check Facebook, look over the log, check f.ds, and then go start another match. As long as you are still signed in to Isotropic, you will still get first turn. Instantly rematching has you playing while your emotions from last game are still lingering. You are not properly focused on the current game. And that is the problem.

Is there a way on Iso to look at a game log from a game you played today other than the one you just played? (assuming you didn't leave the game log open in the background, that is...)

Increment the URL code until you find it.

I almost made that suggestion "if you're desperate", but the URL contains 32 bit hash and I'm not sure it's possible to be that desperate.

Thanks.  I'll just have to start opening them by habit to make the browser record.

Back to the OP:

Get frustrated after a few losses. Keep playing to try to get a few wins in, but play worse because you are angry. Lose more games, get more frustrated. Punch a wall.

punch a wall.  break hand.  get more angry. punch wall with other hand.  forced to play on isotropic using feet.  misclick and buy a scout instead of the final colony.

I did once manage to buy a Copper instead of a Colony; that game didn't go so well.  Nothing to do with the similarity of names: the interface was laggy, and I was waving my mouse around trying to get some sort of response.  No idea how I managed to click on Copper.

At least it wasn't a Scout.

Thanks to similarity of names, I once passed a Colony with Masquerade instead of Copper.  Awkward.

Always ignore certain cards, even on kingdoms that would make them awesome.

Attempt to repeat the strategy that won last time, despite one of the linchpin cards not being available,

Always ignore certain cards, even on kingdoms that would make them awesome.

Conversely:
Don't ignore scout on a board, because this is an awesome board for scout.


Lesson: Scout still sucks.

I once ignored it, to my peril, in a Scout/Nobles game.
