I... think... this... is... on... your... end... mostly.
At least I can play myself without any problems and I see lots of other games being played as well.

That said, the last error you get "this command requires a table" is clearly a mistake on the server side that happens after a reconnect. I intend to fix it today and release it in the next couple of days.

Not sure if this has come up before, but I had a game where I tried to throne a BoM, and it didn't let me choose what to play it as. It happened twice in this game (#4867130). The first time was on turn 18 (I had a forced win if it didn't glitch), and then again on turn 20 (my opponent rage quit soon after).

Looks like you picked a Plaza? Or do you mean on the second play of the Band of Misfits?
If the chosen card stays in play - like almost all cards will do - you only get to choose once and just play that card twice.

Only when the BoM stops being the card you selected you get to pick again. For example, when you'd choose Embargo the BoM trashes itself when played for the first time and thus leaves play. In that case you get to pick again for the second play.

This feature has never worked for me, no matter what I do I can't restrict anyone from visiting my tables. Here's what I did just last night to verify that it still doesn't work:

The rule actually restricts people from becoming a spectator at your table, but not from becoming a player.

I just played a game where the Archive wasn't putting into your hand the treasures from the last round of Archive. The log would claim that it was there but it wasn't. It happened to both my opponent and I with coppers and a Charm. Anyone else having this issue?

No, I don't know of such a bug and it sounds a bit surprising after having played so many games with Archive.
I hope you can mention a specific game number and turn number and describe what was wrong with it.

Please be advised that currently this feature does not work.

Could you add a reproduction path for the "not working"?
Because when I test it, it seems to be working just fine.

back to yesterdays ratings now; sorry about that.

... which also implies that the 16,438 rated games that were played yesterday haven't been processed yet.
They will be taken into account in the next update though, so that update will effectively be a double update.

Hello! I'm new to the interface, and am wondering If there's any way to hide the Victory Point Counters?  Thanks! -- Jonathan

yes there is, but only through manually created tables (i.e. not if you use the automatcher)

Create a table, turn on 'advanced options' and then deselect "show VP counter".

Version 1.2.8

Most of the changes are invisible for common users.

  • accounts now have a status in the database, which may imply they're banned
      (earlier I just scrambled their password)
    banned accounts can't log in and will be removed from the leaderboard on its next update
  • all language-specific code is now in a git submodule, and translators have direct write access to it.
  • card fix: gaining an inn / sprawling castle when it's not your turn
  • this release now tracks the IP adress of every login (sniff) and stores it into the database, so a future release will also be able to ban IPs, not just accounts
  • the way email addresses are stored changed. Unfortunately I'm not sure if this will fix problems people had confirming email, because I never had a reproducable bug

Version 1.2.8.1
The font of the card names looked weird in 1.2.8

Card Bugs / Re: Chariot Race and Debt Cards

So essentially the only card that costs more then something with debt is something with ≥ debt + coin? Otherwise its that neither is greater or less than the other?
You should not compute debt+coin.


The cost of a card in dominion hast 3 components: {coins, debt, potions}
If you want to know if card A costs more then card B, check the following:

  • A.coin >= B.coin
  • A.debt >= B.debt
  • A.potions >= B.potions
  • A doesn't cost exactly the same as B

In words: all three components of A have to be at least as much as their counterpart in B, and at least one of the components has to be more.

For what it's worth, I agree with most of the things you mention.

It's mostly a matter of available money/coding hours/experience with UI. Note that we don't officially support playing on an iPad, although I was happy to be able to play a few games on it myself. I don't miss the old lobby at all, but we should have direct game invitations implemented.

Quote from: 83gu7z on 24 June 2017, 02:29:32 AMFor a F2P player who is familiar with the Base set but have little experience of Expansions games, what is the best way for him/her to learn the Expansions cards?

Spend a dollar, will get you about a week of Gold subscription, then play the hell out of the bots for that week.

(I promise I'm not a shill)

The minimum duration for a subscription is a month (or actually 25 days), so it will cost around 3 dollars to try the cards out against bots.

Personally I would never get mad at someone that explains the situation to me. If you just wait a long time while being silent/unresponsive that might cause some frustration.

When I played Governor to remodel on my mission turn, my opponent upgraded his opulent castle to a sprawling castle. The game gave me the choice between duchy and 3 estates, and my opponent gained the thing I chose.

Unfortunately I don't have the game number or anything.
Fortunately there is only a need for a game number when the bug report is vague, and this one is perfectly clear.

Same problem as with Inn; I forgot to explicitly specify the owner of the gain-ability, and then it defaults to the active player. Will be fixed in the next release.
