Not sure how I won this. My opponent looked like he had an easy win, with an early 2-Province lead in a game with Tournament and Salvager. Then he managed to fizzle despite getting all of the prizes (due to bad Salvager decisions maybe?)

Yeah, T12 (EDIT - and every turn after he should have trashed something different), he should have trashed one of the Salvagers.  That would have allowed him another Province.  I'm currently in awe of 2 things. 

1.)  How many times you hit his Estates.  Geez, I would have been silently (okay probably verbally) spewing out profanities at my computer screen.

2.)  How important he thought it was to trash his coppers and estates (Princess in play) for 0 benefit!

He didn't make a single good use of Salvagers most annoying feature, pile driving Provinces when you have the lead.  That being said, way to not give up and have a nice come from behind win!

Hello.  Name's Bruce.  It's all right.  I understand.  Why trust a shark, right?

Is quite curious - Who is the mystical "Celestial Chameleon"?

I've seen a lot of both 1) and 2) from Lord Bottington in the beta product as well :).

Yeah, your opponent's salvaging cost him the game.  Like Salvaging a copper instead of playing Followers (!) ?
