does it matter in rated games how many vp you win by? or is the ranking only based on win/lose

It's probably only the latter, the amount of VP's often doesn't resemble how close a match was.

That's right. VP totals (and maybe turns taken) determine the rank each player has in the game, and that alone is used to determine how much the result will change your rating. So for example resinging wheh you are hopelessly behind will not be any worse for your rating than loosing by 1 VP.

Are you sure? What about 3 or 4 player games?

It is misleading. Why not have the same sorting for both? Why make it extra hard for the player? Lets hope the new UI fixes it...

It also happens with more cards in Crypt.

When I can chose at the start of turn between e.g. Village Green and Crypt, the order is changed. That is confusing. It shows Copper first in the "preview" and then it switches the order to trick me into chosing the Silver. That is unethical!

I mean, there are two possibilities: 5/2, 4/3. It's not like there are 30 different opening scenarios you have to prepare for.

What about 2/5 and 3/4? These make four possibilitier ;-)

But unfortunately you are right. Nothing can (and probably will) be done about the compulsory wait.

In game #56572218 on ohio, Lord Rat got two Miserable (not one twice miserable)

Nice. Thanks. Could you maybe also post these rules in other languages (if available)?

Could it be that your subscription expired?

What? There is still no notification when the subscription expires?!

What puzzles me is, how hard it seams to change the position of the button. Why is that so? It's just the position attribute of an HTML element, is it not? So why not give the user the choice where he wants to place it? That cannot be that hard, right?

I've noticed some cosmetic changes today that have inexplicably brought the "end buys" button even closer to the play area.

Since there has not been an anouncement, I hope that it is still a WiP. Otherwise, my question: what is "nd actio"?

Moving the end actions/end buys button was a huge downgrade to the software. First, the button looks terrible against basically every background with that nasty pink color.

I agree. Furthermore, the "End Action" and "End Buy" are now in the exact same spot. Why is that bad? Well, I tend to click without looking because I know were I need to click and thus it is another possible error due to the interface. Also, double clicks do happen.

I agree with you, TehLemur. I had the same experience a few months ago. And I still don't understand why this hasn't been done. A simple window when logging in that the subscription has expired (or will expire soon) would be much better than a cryptic number somewhere that cannot be understood without explaining.

However, that is only one of the many many things I do not understand. There probably are reasons why Stef is doing it that way... anyway, I don't trust his word since so many broken promises (e.g. offline client)...

to write down the running totals of our own hand.

I thought it was forbidden to use anything but your brain to gain an advantage. Am I mistaken?  :o ::)

I logged in, went to Friends -> Options -> Autoplay Options -> Familiar Cards and got the screenshot.
