Playing game 5125 on frankfurt-test2, Lord Rattington keeps on trashing Provinces with his Sauna.

Can you pay off debt after buying a debt card?  I feel like this is a bug, because as soon as I buy a debt card I can't pay off debt.  The rulebook says you can pay it off after buying cards.

I just played several games against the bots.  It's pretty good!  While there's nothing major I would suggest, I have a bunch of minor nitpicks that aren't the most important, but could make this great implementation even better.  I might think of more the more games I play, but here's the first few I've got:

1. I can't find a way to look at the card on the bottom of a split pile.  If there is a way, could it maybe be more clear?
2. I don't know how to find the current status of the journey token.  If there is a way, could it maybe be more clear?
3. With the autoplaying, Borrow is really counterintuitive.  You don't usually have to play your treasures when buying cards, but with Borrow you do have to.  I kept having to undo because I wasn't playing my treasures before buying Borrow.
4. It's a bit confusing not having all of the autoplaying functionality of the buy phase when buying from the Black Market.  Could the autoplaying and such be added to playing treasures with it as well?  (Maybe Storyteller too, but I haven't played it yet)
5. I know I might be in the minority, but I actually like small non-intrusive sounds.  I know this wouldn't be the most important thing ever, but I think optional sounds might be nice.
6. Potions, when in the game, move the other treasures down.  I almost misclicked and bought a Potion instead of a Gold several times.
7. The game ends a bit too fast sometimes.  When the game ends on the bot's turn, you don't even see his turn and sometimes when it ends on your turn it seems kind of sudden.  Could it maybe fully display a turn before ending the game?
8. Golem still asks you to order the cards to play when you don't need to order them.
9. When selecting which cards to keep for Annex, if you have a really big discard pile it can get really hard to see which cards are which (think Scheme on the old version).
10. When selecting a card for discarding or trashing, I think selecting an already selected card should undo selecting that card.  It's kind of annoying sometimes having to undo when clicking on the card is easier.
11. Moneylender makes you click on a copper to trash.  I think it would be easier to just make a button that says "trash" in addition to the "don't trash" button.

Wow.  That's a lot already.  Like I said, though, these are all minor nitpicks.  Keep up the good work!

I decided to look at the different backgrounds.  At first it was working fine, but after a few different ones it wasn't always working (it would just stay on the current background), then after a while it stopped working altogether.  I could still switch to no background but then was stuck on it.  However, upon refreshing it worked fine.  I know it doesn't help that I can't reproduce it but here you go.

I have Debian Linux 8.6, and my browser is Chromium version 53.0.2785.143.

I haven't gotten my confirmation email yet so I can't suggest anything related to the game itself, but when creating accounts, pushing "sign up" doesn't give you any confirmation that you have indeed signed up.  I got kind of confused and pushed the button again (and it said my username was already taken), and I could log in after that.  It's just a little unclear that you have actually successfully created your account because nothing happens when you push the button.
