I had this too, just now. Game #7380589 into #7380763

The timeout is four minutes isn't it?
Do remember the policy of not naming players - you can blacklist them after a game and if they are blacklisted often they will be banned - I believe that's the policy. I'm sure a mod can correct me if I'm wrong.
Sorry you're having a bad experience but most players aren't like that, and blacklisting's an effective tool against slow-rollers.

I'm a loser :) Sign me up...

FWIW I'm disturbed that a username can be objected to in that way - there are worse usernames out there and as Jester says a G-string is part of a guitar (although perhaps Jester is slightly disingenuous to imply that the clothing item isn't also implied?)

But as I say, there are worse names - a quick search of the leaderboard and I've seen usernames with "dick" unambiguously used to refer to genitals, a "cock" which I don't think was about poultry, an F word and two instances of the C word - although one of them I suspect might have just misspelled count... There are others, but I hope the point is made?

While I deeply appreciate the hard work that goes into running online Dominion, I think arbitrary standards of name-policing aren't fair, and clear guidance should be given to players if their chosen name is unacceptable, ideally at signup.

Thanks

Here it is... :)

There's another thread on this as well - seems like the team are aware of the bug.

Got this in Safari too...

Succinctly put, yes, and thanks.

And it's the same with Bandit, when you get a silver and gold to choose from...

Hi,

I know it's my own stupid fault, but twice now I've been mislead by the text that comes up when an opponent plays a Rogue and I have two possible cards to trash.

Because it says "Trash a card from B" (the first letter of my username) and NOT something obvious like "Trash one of YOUR cards" I've mistakenly clicked on a card thinking I was trashing an opponents...

I know if I were paying more attention this wouldn't fool me but something about the way the text is just implies it's not MY card... can this be fixed? - I think it's badly phrased. Why is it

end rant!

Actually, no! While I'm on the subject I think it's easy to miss what has been trashed from your deck when it's only noted in the log - as in the case of Rogue when there's only one card to Trash. It's easy to miss as it flies past in the log. Maybe a highlight for trashes would be more noticeable?

actual end of rant(s) now :)

Missed that detail :) Thanks!

It sounded humble to me - one more example of the difficulty of communicating tone in online messages (imagine this said in a breathlessly excited voice) :)

I'd like a new feature which is an extension of Familiar cards - a "don't play games with x card in them" feature...

I've removed Possession from my familiar cards (it's my only unfamiliar card now!) and set my maximum unfamiliar cards to 0 - but still I regularly get in in games, presumably because I'm playing an opponent with a subscription and that's re-enabling it?

So the familiar card thing doesn't work especially well for that purpose, and I've come to really hate Possession - or at least if I were to play with it I'd have to be in the mood for it...

so, long winded feature request saying - isn't there some way to make it a user-selectable deal-breaker for the game matching process?

Thanks

Tim

And another example of annoying / confusing automation in a game tonight:

I played a Black Market and the cards didn't appear.
Looking in the log, they had gone straight to the bottom of the Black Market deck.

After an undo this happened again and then my opponent and I figured out that they were too expensive for me to afford any - which is fine, but by gosh it was confusing! The game should display a message to this effect as I was baffled for a while.
