When you call Royal Carriage on a card (or throne room, kings court, disciple, procession) you only copy the instructions above the dividing line.

Some cards in dominion say "while this is in play, ..." explicitly to prevent being copy-able. The original is in play, the copy is not.

In other words... you can copy a Bridge, but not a highway. Well, you can, but you only get the +1 card +1 action twice, not the cost reduction.

Version 1.2.11


  • rating service rewritten (no longer part of the metaserver, but now separate process)
  • failed rating updates for 3/4P ratings from the last two days restored
  • ratings will now be recomputed from day 0 every day (instead of only computing the update from yesterday)
  • initial rating parameters have been changed (most notably phi now starts at 0.75 instead of 2, resulting in a starting level of 35)
  • when a user gets banned, all rated results now will be retroactively removed. I.E. when you meet a notorious slowplayer, feel free to resign & blacklist

It requires a bit of manual work, but here is how I helped out two people with the same request before:

You can buy the subscription on some other account (like your own), and then I move it over. Please PM me prior to making the purchase what you want moved, including a from and a to.

This has been resolved now; please try again.

It did not depend on your country but affected everyone trying to purchase a subscription.

There are three settings for Colony/Platinum: Yes, No and Random.
The default is Random, and if you leave it at that it will choose a random card from your kingdom. If that randomly chosen card is from Prosperity it will use Colony/Platinum, and otherwise it doesn't.

Is it true that when a user gets banned, all their games will be deleted from the ratings record and everybody who played in those games will have their ratings readjusted? I've never met any slow rollers (I think), but it would be nice to know this.

It is not implemented today on the live server, but it will be soon.

At that point my plan is to tell everyone about it, and then you can just resign&blacklist against slowrollers without any downside to your own rating.

... "we would both get banned"...

Off course you won't get banned.

People don't get banned for being reported, the report actually has to make sense. The things this disturbed individual says don't make sense.

The leaderboard is fairly useless. I'm uninterested in just knowing the top 20 players, but instead, I want something similar to the old isotropish leaderboard.

1. I want the ability to scroll throughout the entire leaderboard (AKA I want to be able to see all players, or at least all players who have played a certain threshold of games).
2. I would prefer to be able to see exactly how many games I have won and lost.
3. Ideally a scrolling function would work well, and putting it in a format that would allow for exporting would be great. If not, at least having a jump to yourself button would work well.

I'm sorry, but I don't understand what you actually want. I have tried to find people on previous instances of leaderboards that used a scroll function. It was... a nightmare. There are tens of thousands of people on it. How is a list with everyone you're interested in not an improvement? It doesn't just display the top 20, it also displays your friends. You can put anyone you're interested in on there.

Win/loss ratio is not displayed, because it means very little. Naturally you will win more if you play weaker players, or lose more if you play stronger players. That's why there is a rating system.

If you want to do some math on the ratings, or make a tool like the one MicQ linked you to, I can provide you with data or maybe even give you database access.

...should not be allowed to intimidate or frighten players. I've  had rude opponents; I just block them. This is new and disturbing.

I'm sorry you had to endure this. This guy has a mental illness where he doesn't seem to feel compassion with other human beings. It makes me feel a weird combination of mad, sad and ashamed of being of the same species.

Card Bugs / Re: Can't play Coin of the Realm

A few games ago (didn't note game number, unfortunately, but it was probably Monday or Tuesday this week if there are logs available) I found I was simply unable to play the Coin of the Realm card from my hand, i.e., in the buy phase. When I clicked on it to play it then all other buttons (i.e., end turn, buy cards) either disappeared or failed to appear such that I could not do anything else. It didn't interfere with the chat with my live opponent, and I could Undo without problem. It happened multiple times in the same game, i.e., every time I tried to play CotR from my hand then the same bug would occur. Not playing it allowed the game to proceed fine in other respects. I've had other games where CotR worked as it should, so I'm not sure what it was interacting with to produce this bug.

It was not an interaction with anything, CotR was just bugged all by itself. But this bug has only been live for a few hours...

Good afternoon,

I had a making fun which I signed in via my facebook account. Is it possible for me to get a new log in?

Thank you

It helps if you PM me something I can search for in the MF export. (a username or email. Quite some of the FB logins had their real name as username)
