Lookout+Trading post game ; I was the only one interested by TP, theorically it seemed better than outpost to me, but look how out (oh yeah, what a pun) I has at turn 15 !
http://dominion.isotropic.org/gamelog/201207/02/game-20120702-095117-c562365d.html (turn 15)

Trashing a province with a lookout... because I drew 3 of my 4 provinces with it on my last turn, and HE, the 1st player, wons by six pts !
Okay, this was dangerous, but as I trashed silvers with my trading post, I was not afraid ! Even trasing a gold seemed safe to me... but no, three damn provinces ! And then, I bought the penultimate province, thinking he wouldnt take the last one. He did ! I lost by six !

Chocolate is like victory points in Dominion. Both taste good but they'll hurt you if you eat too much of it instead of something else in your early days.

Bad luck to find all your provinces sure ... but why even play the lookout at all? You had absolutely nothing in your deck that you wanted to trash.

Sometimes you can play lookout to remove two cards from the top of your deck and leave the good card on top as a gamewinner. That wasn't the case here though. Stables and trading post is a dodgy combination and you eventually paid the price for it.

This is what happens when you don't really count your number and coppers and silvers... I'm not proud anyway !

Which brings up another point. You dont want to trash silver here at all. It's very helpful for getting provinces. I saw at least once you used trading post to turn 2 silvers into 1 silver. That's not a good move for this type of deck where all your money comes from treasures.
