Hi Stef!  I think this is an interesting way to take feedback, but I'd rather not have the extended credit as I want to continue to see success from ShiT.

I'm going to start by looking at your wishlist features.  First, the stuff I don't care about and would prefer to see at the bottom of your wishlist:

1. An offline client, allowing you to play campaigns against bots
2. A bot with a setting for different play styles
3. A strong bot.

Bots are no fun, I'd rather just play a solo game if I want to test things.

4. Options for timed games

Please no.

9. Better animations when cards are gained/bought/played/...

Yeah, I definitely play Dominion for the animations!  Sparkles and stars and no, screw that, I'd prefer a complete lack of animation.  Old Skool Isotropic.

10. Option to hide the log

Given I hate animations, I don't have a reason to hide the log.  Though again there's Old Skool hiding all but the last 2-3 turns.

11. Android app (or just improved compatibility?)
12. iPhone app (or just improved compatibility?)

Meh?  I can count on one finger the number of times I've played or wanted to play on my phone or tablet.

14. Improved moderation (dealing with chat abuse, slowplayers, ...)

I think this is an interesting idea, but I frankly don't think you'll be able to do this any better than what's here now.  I can block players I don't want to play with again, that's enough.

--------

OK... Now stuff from your list I, personally, am actually interested in:

13. Downloadable game logs

OMG PLEASE ASAP.

Seriously, though, this is the single place where you guys have severely dropped the ball.  Goko had this from the start; so did MF.  The isotropic logs made modern strategy discussion possible, and the lack of said logs in any format is barbaric.  Even if you leave it in a text format, I'm sure someone will prettify it quickly.

I also feel the current log is poorly done.  It doesn't mention when actions, buys, coins are gained, it skips other steps... it needs a rework.

7. Option to invite specific players to your table

This is pretty important as well, especially for tournaments and the like.

10. Better visualization of split piles, Archive/Crypt contents, Prince targets, ...

Yes, this is extremely important.  I know the cards, so I don't really need the split piles marked any more, but not everyone does.  The inability to see set-aside cards other than Island, NV, and Reserve Mats is really odd and need to be fixed.  Also iut can be hard to tell which thing is where.

5. Options for undo settings

It would be nice to have some automatic undo things, where the game state isn't even sent to your opponents until you do something that goes past that.  Autoplay of treasures and the like.

--------

The rest of the things you list for your wishlist don't really apply to me at all but might be useful for others.

A couple of things I feel you've missed:

A. Moving decisions out of the log

Sure, we've all gotten accustomed to it, but that's no reason for it not to be fixed.  It's ridiculous that, for instance, calling things from Reserve is at the bottom of the log rather than presented mid-screen.

B. (Very minor) Autoplay of treasures for Black Market.  In fact, right now the "no treasures" button is where the normal "autoplay treasures" button is, which is annoying.

I think that's it for now.

Nope, still invisible for me.  Unless it's in some weird non-standard position that's... I guess, off my screen?

Colonnade awarded VP tokens and was in the log, but was not visible as a card-shaped thing.

Same here, to give an extra voice to this.  Once in a while it'll connect and start a game but otherwise, nothing.

Game #3782173 on frankfurt

Game ended on Provinces, but never went to the post-game screen.  Reloaded the window and got the login screen, but can't log in (Log In button appears not to work.)  Also can't log in from new tab.

We just had this issue again on game #3650729 on tokyo.

Both times it happened, it was an undo involving Black Market.  Double Tac-BM game, both times either too much or too little cash played to BM, then Undo set us back 3-4 turns the first time, second time it offered to go back like 60 steps and we ended the game.

Other Bugs / Undo Bug, Autobuy Bug (same game)
17 February 2017, 07:16:31 PM
Game #1313699 on frankfurt (I think frankfurt, forgot to write that down.)

Two weird bugs that don't really fit a category:

(1)

Pre-Bug Steps:

Request Undo.
Opponent grants Undo.
Request Undo.

Expected Behavior:

Opponent receives request to undo 1 step

Actual Behavior:

Opponent receives request to undo 79 steps.

(2)

Pre-Bug Steps:

Autobuy option is on.
Play Sauna.
Hand contains 1 Silver, 4 Copper (6 coins total)
Click Avanto to buy Avanto using autobuy.

Expected Behavior:

Autobuy plays 1 Silver, 3 Coppers
Game asks if I desire to trash the remaining Copper
Click to trash remaining Copper
Autobuy buys and gains Avanto.
Automatically end turn (no Buys remain).

Actual Behavior:

Autobuy plays 1 Silver
Game asks if I desire to trash a card.
Click to trash one Copper
Autobuy plays 2 Copper, leaving 1 Copper in hand.
Autobuy fails to buy or gain Avanto (because only 4 coins were played)
Game will not allowing playing remaining Copper even though no Buys have actually been used.

Well, I'm having the same thing now without a proxy of any sort.  But it's just this most recent time I've tried to log on.
