Yes, that is it, thank you.  I just assumed the game getting "stuck" was the bot stalling out in its decision making, so thanks for the correction and pointing me to the known issue!

In game #9333207, I turned on "Always Reveal Province" under the tournament card.  Lord Rattington froze up on me.  Not sure why it worked some of the time, but it would just always freeze on Rattington's 14th turn.  I'd undo and it'd freeze again.  Finally, I tried turning off "Always Reveal Province" and it no longer froze.

Card Bugs / Band of Misfits doesn't work as Ratcatcher
21 September 2017, 02:18:39 AM
I tried using a band of misfits as a ratcatcher.  It put it down to the mat, but there wasn't any option to retrieve it and actually use it to trash a card, it was just permanently down on the mat.

When I first started playing and I didn't know about the "/undo" or "/undo x" commands, I thought the undo couldn't undo bot commands.  I later realized it was undoing a single bot move, but then the bot was almost instantly repeating what they did before.  This behavior isn't very useful in my opinion.

There are no situations where I've wanted to undo a bot's move just to let him repeat it again (unless I'm hoping they aren't deterministic and would change their decision? I've never tried this though), and there are plenty of situations where I wanted to undo my last move (say a militia discard I screwed up) and it'd be nice if the undo went back to my last decision.  Having to type /undo, scroll down the log (because the log automatically scrolls to the top) finding my move and clicking it seems a lot harder than what I believe should just be the default behavior.

This would make the behavior a disconnect between bot and human games.  It wouldn't be a terrible default behavior for human games, but I could see someone undoing for a friend they are teaching or something like that.  Mostly I just want it for bot games because even if you hit undo right away the bot could've easily taken several moves in that time.

Card Bugs / Re: Can't Duplicate Sir Michael
11 February 2017, 04:39:39 PM
Your not wrong, but I just can't imagine someone doing it intentionally.  I think an extra warning dialog when duplicate isn't going to do anything would be really nice and solve both this case and many other cases which are almost always going to be unintentional and bad experiences.

Card Bugs / Can't Duplicate Sir Michael
11 February 2017, 12:25:45 AM
I called a Duplicate on Sir Michael, expecting it to give me the next card from the knights pile, Dame Josephine, but it did nothing instead.  Maybe this is how it is suppose to work since there is no exact duplicate of Sir Michael, so presumably it'd work this same way for split piles... so maybe this is just an interface issue in that it was so easy to waste my duplicate.

Interface Issues / Undo does nothing at start of turn
10 February 2017, 09:35:46 PM
So this is probably intentional.  You can't undo to before any actions that aren't your own (including attack reactions), BUT the interface doesn't make this clear at all.  It should say, "Can't undo any further, previous action wasn't yours" or something like that to make it clear that the game won't back up and why.  Instead it looks like you're undoing with "pending request to undo" and the screen refreshes like you did an undo, but your hand looks the same which just makes a player scratch his head.

Interface Issues / Force... Myself to resign?
27 January 2017, 12:00:08 AM
I played a possession against an AI and then walked away from my computer while I was still in control of the AI's hand.

When I returned it asked me if I wanted to force <My Username> to resign.  It makes sense since <My Username> was actually afk, it just seemed weird to offer that option to me.  Seems like whatever normally stops that from popping up when I go afk failed due to possession. Pretty minor issue though since I just said, "No, don't force myself to resign".

Support / Bot trashed 2 provinces for no reason
18 January 2017, 11:04:23 PM
I just had a game where the bot trashed 2 provinces and a copper on his second to last turn using his chapple for absolutely no reason (no events encouraged trashing or having fewer cards or anything like that).  Didn't realize bots could make such a big mistake as that.

I'm considering buying a subscription but was wondering can I play games with expansions with my friends? Or would they all have to buy subscriptions as well?  In other words is a subscription just required for creating games or also required for joining games with expansion cards?
