You could open a table and set the min/max level difference in the advanced options.

TBH I'm still pissed about having spent good money on the previous implementation and getting screwed on this version that still doesn't have offline.

It gets harder and harder to remember, but none of the previous official implementations had offline...

You need to set your Familiar Cards (button in the top row) to only Base (by clicking "None from this expansion" for each expansion but Base) and then use "Practice Game". That is always unrated 2-player, and it does respect your familiar cards (plus the maximum number of unfamiliar cards that you have set under "Options" (button in the top row)). "Two player" and "Three player" are rated games which ignore familiar cards (in order to have a more meaningful leaderboard).

Unfortunately, 2 cents might not be sufficient.  8)
It seems like jsh should add "I'm only a volunteer" to each of his replies. Of course, that would increase his workload even more (if only by a little).
I'm not part of Shuffle iT either (only a player) but I'm pretty sure that the current pricing of Dominion Online just doesn't support multiple full-time employees. So the company has to rely on the community to provide the current level of service, and I have the feeling that the community is doing quite a good job.

I'm not sure I understand completely, but are you saying that a single game between equally skilled opponents who make the same amount of mistakes in that game should always result in a tie (to allow you to like Dominion)? For me, personally, that would take a lot of fun out of Dominion because I wouldn't have that suspense element anymore in these games where both players play the same strategy. As long as we don't have a perfect AI which can quantify the win/loss of win probability caused by each single player turn I prefer that suspense over too many ties.

Would this button (i.e. not clicking it) allow you not to play a kingdom you don't like without penalty?

Are you certain that he didn't only want to modify his discard decision? Sometimes it's tricky to see which decision exactly the opponent wants to undo. (Of course, foul language is never aceeptable anyway.)

I've seen those as spectator quite often, but I think not always. Haven't been able to detect any pattern, unfortunately.

Most important for me would be a nice game replay functionality, allowing the user to browse forward and backward through a completed game.

A second requested festure not mentioned yet would be some kind of personal messaging to a player. It is especially important for an adressee who is not on a table, and it would be nice for a spectator as well (to avoid having to spam the chat on their table). In some cases, messaging a player currently playing would be useful as well, but I'm not sure if that should rather be disabled for tournament games.

Priority of the listed suggestions (top to bottom):

Really useful:
13. Downloadable game logs
10. Better visualization of split piles, Archive/Crypt contents, Prince targets, ...
9. Better animations when cards are gained/bought/played/...
3. A strong bot.

Secondary:
5. Options for undo settings
2. A bot with a setting for different play styles
6. Online mini-tournaments; the option to easily create one for you & your friends.
7. Option to invite specific players to your table
4. Options for timed games
14. Improved moderation (dealing with chat abuse, slowplayers, ...)
1. An offline client, allowing you to play campaigns against bots

Completely irrelevant for me (but not for others who might be potential opponents):
8. More translations (to what language?)
16. Tutorial on how to play dominion online.
15. Tutorial on how to play Dominion
10. Option to hide the log
11. Android app (or just improved compatibility?)
12. iPhone app (or just improved compatibility?)

Have you tried all uppercase W's? WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW should be the widest 20 characters available...

Have you actually given Shuffle iT any money? If yes, I assume, only for adding Empires and maybe Nocturne to your free subscription? In that case, so far you have gotten one free year of online play with all previous sets. I certainly understand that you would like to get an offline version (which has not been available with Goko or MF) for free as well, but in your situation I would rather hope that the company which is to build this freebie for you does rather well. Somehow, it seems quite natural to me that paying customers are more important to a provider than those only wanting free gifts, so the focus on improving the online play first might be understandable. Luckily for everyone waiting for an online client, Stef has said that an improved AI is quite high on the list of priorities, and that is the #1 precondition for an offline version. Of course, the development of a secure stand-alone version of the server code is not a trivial task either.

Actually, 4 golds each (instead of 3) in Situations Two and Three :)
