game #8756290 on frankfurt.

"b plays a Catapult.
b trashes a Copper.
c discards a card and a Copper.
b plays 2 Coppers and a Gold.
b buys a Summon.
b gains a Skulk.
b gains a Gold.
Summon loses track of Skulk (it was covered up)."

Nothing in the wording of Summon suggests that gaining the gold on top of the Skulk should prevent it being set aside!

Agreed - this was difficult during the tournament, when setting up a table and waiting for an opponent.

I agree - bravo Ingix... and thanks all the mods and others who work hard on this amazing game :)

Hi Ingix,

yes that's the same text I got - sorry about the pdf - the screenshot was rejected as too large.. I'll open photoshop and resize next time!

Sorry, I don't think people should have to change what they are saying just to be PC.  You are basically saying say the same thing but say it in a nicer more drawn out way so people don't get their feathers ruffled as much...   I think that is a great thing to do if you are a politician, but most of us aren't on here.

Or the online game designers could solve the whole problem by adding an option to select faster play as your preference.

Really? Absolutely people should moderate how they speak to others - if they care about being civil, and being an opponent who people enjoy playing against. And *of course* you can say the same thing in a more drawn out way to avoid ruffling feathers - it's called being polite! It's effective communication with other people who aren't just there to receive *your* precious wisdom about how you'd like to play, but also to play and enjoy it themselves. You'll find people respond much better if you choose your words with consideration.

You don't have to be a politician, just a person who cares about communicating politely.

Hi,
the warning that you'll trash an opponent's knight if you choose to trash your own is welcome - however there's a bug in the log for this - maybe it's showing a variable name rather than the text of the card name?

Screenshot attached...

Also - in general I think the interface could help make these things more explicit by phrasing it like so:
"You'll trash (opponent's name)'s Sir Vander..." etc...

- as with my previous thing about being confused at being asked to trash a card from (my username's initial) rather than the much more straightforward "choose one of YOUR cards to trash" I think some plain language here about whose cards you're affecting would help a great deal...

Thanks

Tim

There's an option in Matching for Nocturne preview... check that box...

Hi,

just a text issue on the log,

See screenshot...

I play Band of Misfits as Procession, then "process" a Pirate Ship. Coin of the Realm is also on my Tavern Mat and so the log reads:
"You PLAY_INSTRUCTIONS a Pirate Ship and...
- Call Coin of the Realm"

Everything worked as it should I think... but the indenting is getting very extreme and makes the log hard to read.
It maybe a factor that the Band of Misfits was played by a Herald?

Hey, yeah - give us a chance - if you're still here... 20 games isn't many...

By far the majority of the players I've encountered are friendly. Many are silent and don't return my greeting - but the chat interface isn't especially good for touchscreens so I try not to assume too much from that.

However sometimes I've had really enjoyable chats with people too.

One thing that aids friendliness is communication - if someone's taking a long time to play but says they're reading the cards, or thinking, then I'll know that this isn't someone slow-rolling or with a connection issue.

So if you like the game, stick around - use the blacklist to avoid rude, abusive players - who do exist sure - and report to the mods anyone doing such behaviour, including playing extra slowly - note the game number when this happens and the mods can check things out.

Hope you'll give the place another chance.

Seems to be working again now...

I think I'm having the same issue!

I think since Mint doesn't let you gain a spoils then you shouldn't be able to *select* spoils after playing mint...

I know this is just my misunderstanding which treasures Mint can act on, but the interface could certainly help...

Thanks

Tim

I see - thanks! Bad timing then :)

Hi,

today I was in the early stages of a game - I didn't note the number or opponent, sorry.

My opponent was inactive for a while and (as I usually do in these circumstances) I refreshed my browser page to see if anything had locked up at my end.

Instead of the usual behaviour of reconnecting to the game in progress I found myself at the login screen, and then when I logged in there was no sign of the game!

furthermore I couldn't find a record of it on the "scavenger" tool that records game results.

All I can recall is that it was before game #7380589
