Ya know, colony isn't strictly better than curse.

Last turn.

...I'm missing something about that. I don't see any really relevant thing going on with curses/colony on yours or the opponents turn.

...spin-offs are still better for all of the previously cited reasons.
But not strictly better, because the spinoff can have a different cost than the expansion.

Oh did I put in the wrong turn? It's the last turn.

I was about to ask why, if you needed a curse, you didn't just gain one from the first Jester.

Then my brain finished loading and I felt like an idiot.

Ha, reminds me of the game where I started pile-driving Curses two Colonies ahead but by the time I had done it he had gotten a few...

It probably wasn't the right play, but hey, how many opportunities do you get for a T3 Province?

SheCantSayNo: turn 3
SheCantSayNo   plays Coppersmith
SheCantSayNo   plays 4 Copper
SheCantSayNo   buys Province
SheCantSayNo   gains Province
SheCantSayNo   draws Copper, Estate, Silver, Copper, Estate

I am sure someone will give you exact percentages for the Turn 3 likelihood of Coppersmith + 4x Copper with a Coppersmith/X opening and a Coppersmith/Copper opening.  It is f.ds, after all.

Unless you are aiming for a multi-Coppersmith turn, Coppersmith/Silver is just strictly better than Coppersmith/Copper.

Greatest Dominion moment of 2013 for me so far is when Donald started previewing Guilds cards.

Don't buy the last Curse for a 3-pile win unless you're sure you'll get the win. My turn 31 Estate was my 50th card, boosting my Gardens and tying up the game, then the game was freely given to me.

That's harsh, considering he lost by 1 point too.

I dunno if you can call this a greatest moment, but I recently had a game against the AI. I was mostly messing around, so didn't think too hard about what my openings and moves would be, but it went something like:

Turn 1: Jack
Turn 2: Fishing Village
Turn 3: (played FV) Fishing Village
Turn 4: (no actions) Smithy
Turn 5: Drew my Smithy and Jack together, so with no FV, I played Jack. Turned up FV, which I discarded, and drew my other FV.

I decided to quit, because lolAI lolcasualrating.

Getting a Scout from a Swindled Potion and drawing the full 4 VP cards with it: priceless...

On a board where Sir Martin was the only +buy, I King's Courted him after playing 8 Highways...

...and then bought out the rest of the Knights pile because I was worried he might get trashed.

You couldn't drain the provinces? Or was it a colony game?

I did drain the Provinces, one turn later. The other Knights were a moment of misplaced caution.

I know there was a reason for getting that many Duchesses, but in my head he was just convinced by Zoidberg's argument:

Those aren't exact percentages, there should be at least ω more decimal places.

I enjoyed this game because normally I am really bad at goons, but this one worked out :D

http://dominionlogs.goko.com//20130615/log.5137c8eae4b0cd4b5a40bbc2.1371311014142.txt

No villages and no trashing, but key cards were:

tactician, goons, baker, rabble, tournament, throne room.

He went all out for followers with a tournament-tournament opening. I opened rabble-silver to go for quick goons. He managed to play followers on turn 7, but it turned out not to hurt too much. The estates hurt him just as much as curses hurt me, and I was going to have 3 card hands anyway with goons. I built a fun double-tactician engine with throneroom-baker for actions and money. A couple rabbles helped for draw too to get past all the curses and copper. I pulled a triple-goons turn on turn 21, with $24 and 6 buys. I thought I could 3 pile but I couldn't, and so I just bought 3 provinces and 3 coppers. My last turn, turn 24 I made use of the tournaments I probably shouldn't have bought and was just using as peddlers, and played TR-tournament with 2 provinces in hand. I got a duchy first to see if he had a province in hand, then got princess and throned her, which I felt pretty cool after because it let me buy more duchies/estates. He probably should have taken princess instead of bag of gold. He ended the game on the next turn.

anyway, this is one of the few times I've won on a goons board. I'm really bad with that card. Also - I used a guilds card to good effect!!

This is my favourite "bad luck brian game".
http://dom.retrobox.eu/?/20130617/log.516ce5cde4b082c74d7a57aa.1371487932013.txt
I won't talk about the obvious 1st player advantage turn 11 (KCing cultists giving me the 3 remaining ruins, while I play exactly the same turn 11 too)...
But after, while I keep drawing crappy cards, he plays his possession the only turns where I have a really good hand :

---------- brokoli: turn 20 [possessed] ----------
[...]
brokoli - buys Province
Kuramathi - gains Province
brokoli - draws Ruined Market, Hovel, Ruined Library, Cultist, Copper

... Until he possess me on the only 3-Province turn I had :

---------- brokoli: turn 22 [possessed] ----------
[...]
brokoli - plays 6 Copper, 2 Silver
brokoli - buys Province
brokoli - trashes Hovel
Kuramathi - gains Province
brokoli - buys Province
Kuramathi - gains Province
brokoli - buys Province
Kuramathi - gains Province
brokoli - draws Overgrown Estate, Wishing Well, Tribute, Wishing Well, Ruined Library

I don't like to complain about bad luck usually, but this one was wonderful !
But anyway, I think I saved my honor on the last Province-Duchy turn, where I guessed correctly the cards for Wishing well.
