Aha. The tricky European date format strikes again. Thanks for the answer.

Why oh why did you kill the Chancellor?

I'm pretty sure I had a few months left on my subscription, but poof, it disappeared today. can you help me investigate?

Thanks. I didn't know there was an autoplay option for it.

This is a variant on the crown/villager issue, but if you have only crowns in your starting hand, you can't play them as actions (it skips right to the buy phase). This is normally fine, but if you have the +card token on crown, it is sad times, because crown crown crown is happiness personified. See game #26237820, turn 16 I think.

Can someone explain why DXV limited us to two cubes per player, if there is a limit of two projects anyway? Is this based on some future plan to broaden the utility of the cubes or the scope of projects?

If I had 700 cubes, I could still only buy two projects in a game right now.

Interesting... so, if you want to do a donate/hunting grounds end, you'd better be sure your opponent can't come back next turn (or return a card (encampment or ambassador).

Live and learn.

At the end of #19733166, I donated, trashing 5 hunting grounds, and gaining all the estates and a few dutchies.

That left 3 empty piles. But the game didn't end.

Is this a bug, or does the game not end if you end piles between turns?

I like the Scavenger at http://dominion.lauxnet.com/scavenger/.

It seems to have been down for a few days (at least). Is it gone?

Fastman,

You can end the annoyingness by resigning. The series of contrary viewpoints presented suggests that some don't feel how you feel about how to play the last turn, and at least some don't think/know they are being annoying to you. If you know you've lost, just resign and play another game, and you will never have to be annoyed. You can even play against the same player and get revenge.

Thanks, all.

I don't know if this is a bug or not, or maybe just a quirk.
When you play black market, you can play your treasures. If you play a crown as one of the treasures, you can use it as a throne room to play another action in the middle of the black market action, even if you have no actions remaining. That doesn't seem right, since you were playing the crown as a treasure.
See turn 18 of #14360895 to see my doing that against Lord Rattington.

Is this the intention of the Donald ? The wording of the card would suggest it's permitted, but it seems that the intention was that the top parts is "when played as an action" and the bottom is "When played as a treasure."

1. An offline client, allowing you to play campaigns against bots
Yes, I would really like this (for plane rides and the like). Second highest priority after #9.

2. A bot with a setting for different play styles
Nice to have, but not critical

3. A strong bot.
Would be really good. Keep in mind that bots in campaigns can be more easily optimized to a particular kingdom than they can be designed for general use.

4. Options for timed games
Don't care

5. Options for undo settings
Don't care

6. Online mini-tournaments; the option to easily create one for you & your friends.
Don't care

7. Option to invite specific players to your table
Don't care

8. More translations (to what language?)
Don't care

9. Better animations when cards are gained/bought/played/...
This would be helpful. I don't want to have to use the log to see what the giant trashed.

10. Better visualization of split piles, Archive/Crypt contents, Prince targets, ...
Yes, please do this.

10. Option to hide the log
Doesn't have to better than it is now.

11. Android app (or just improved compatibility?)
Nice to have, but do #1 first.

12. iPhone app (or just improved compatibility?)
Don't care

13. Downloadable game logs
Nice to have

14. Improved moderation (dealing with chat abuse, slowplayers, ...)
No. it's fine as is.

15. Tutorial on how to play Dominion
The ones others have created are pretty good.

I hope these answers are sufficient. This took far less than an hour. I bought the expansions on Jan 1 as a result of how well you have built this on line experience.

What I don't understand is when you write "all cards were reading double"? The screenshot you made seems to show no typographical abnormalies.

If you look at the picture, I had a pretty exciting starting hand, including 4 develops, two courtiers, etc. These were all typographical abnormalities. Likewise, the -4 Silk Roads remaining was, I would say, "abnormal."

Although the game counting as a loss for me may irrecoverably rock the Dominion world (which had been anxiously tracking my meteoric rise to 227 on the global leaderboard), Gherald will forever be able to treasure this victory in his/her heart, and in this small point we can all take at least some consolation.

Don't know what happened here, but the game was good times until all the sudden the interface went crazy. Game #7608202. My opponent asked for a reasonable undo, which I allowed, and after that all cards were reading double. At one point, there were negative 4 silk roads in the supply! See photo.

Anyway, I asked for an undo because I couldn't see an inheritanced pawn in my hand while playing a shantytown. My opponent allowed is (I think), and it reverted 5 or 6 turns. Eventually, we just stopped playing. I resigned, and he might have, too, for all I know.

It had BM and Inheritance, which seems to be a recipe for excitement.
