[MarkowKette]

Uh what a crazy game i just played:

Crazy Kingscourt-Swindler Madness

Now the 2 Provinces left it's quite even it's my turn:

I got to a big hand with my nobles and have still 2KC a Peddler and 2 Mandarins(swindled markets) and 3 Golds and some Coppers left.

If only one of those Mandarins had still been a Market(btw he hit ALL of my markets with Swindler),*argh* now i miss the second buy......and i'm really sure he can buy 2 Provinces next turn.

Ok, i think i'm pretty much done! Buying that Province is like a for sure loss.
If i dont buy the Province i only have a small chance he can't double Province.
Well i have to take the small chance:
So i play:
KC-KC-Mandarin........*idea*(with two KC'd Mandarins i can arrange the top 6 cards of my Deck so if i place the Peddler as 6th card and he plays a Swindler i get an extra Province)......
So i try it and go for the Province.

And BAM! it worked!!
Mandarin i love you

[ftl]

Hah, that's pretty nice.

That is nice.. but was it impossible for your opponent to get to $8 without the Swindler?

[MarkowKette]

Actually he did swear a lot about having played the Swindler.
He would have won without playing it. But he wanted that extra Duchy to win at a higher Margin or maybe he just didn't count correctly on what the point score was.
And most Peddlers were in his own Deck i only had 2 so maybe he thought that was worth the risk

Fair enough. If he were really paying close attention, he could have known that you had choice over what card he Swindled, and realized that meant that he had basically no chance of hurting you with it. But if he didn't track the score carefully, he may have had to take that risk anyway.

Also, that was the only chance for MarkowKette to win.

About to pop 8 HOPs for Colonies, but first had to play a Scout to reveal 3 Scouts.

[heron]

That happens to me all the time. Once I bought a card that was embargoed 6 times, twice, thinking it would end the game. It was bad when it didn't.

I think there can be much more than this, but that was my best:

Could be way more, if I'd get the Cities to level 2, but I knew, that the game was lost. (There should have been a Diadem though ;-))

http://dom.retrobox.eu/?/20130621/log.50804653fca2b99a1806c3c1.1371834276429.txt

On turn 15, my opponent was ahead 13-12 (both of us with 2 provinces, but he had an extra estate), and no other supply pile had less than 5 cards remaining, but I three-piled to end the game, even though the only card I bought was a province.

The best thing is countering KC-Possession.  One time my opponent passed all three turns...

Are you sure he was trying to do Hermit/Market Square? To me, it looks like he doesn't know about the combo, and just thinks they have pretty good synergy.

EDIT: And while you certainly misplayed when you gained your 6th Madman, it's hardly "messing up" since it still works with just one Hermit, it's just less effective.

He said he was trying to do it (and failed).

No, the gg happened when sami1 opened Spy.  The crazy luck just happened to bring the inevitable torture to an mercifully quick end, I think.
