Hello. I want to sign up for a championship and I can not do it. I have a golden profile. Thank you

Antoramix

Can we switch to a 2-3-2 format? I think it's a little more fair.

This isn't about familiarity with sports: the player who gets advantage in Game 5 should not be the same one who gets that advantage in Game 7. With the current rules (or a 2-2-1-1-1), you're effectively giving clinch advantage to the same player twice.

The order of the first four games doesn't matter because any logical format will give each player two first-turn games.

This is a best of 6, so the order shouldn't matter regardless. One player could start the first three games and then the other player could start three.

The first player in game 7 is determined randomly.

I see a Jimmmmy in the list with "name not recognized" However my username is "Jimmmy" both here and on Dominion Online. Can you correct it please?

Sorry, fixed now.

I should be clearer. Expecting to receive the 2VPs, when my opponent played the Masquerade, I gave him a copper. I went from having three estates to four. To me that is gaining a victory card.

But it isn't according to the Dominion rules:

"Masquerade's mechanism for changing card ownership is unique in the game, since it uses the word "pass" to indicate a change of card ownership. The consequence of this wording is that the player receiving a passed card is not "gaining" it. So, for example, they cannot react to the card passing with Watchtower." -from the Wiki

Excellent. I think section 8 is very much improved. For this tournament it seems that the plan is to have matches streamed on replay mode, then?

Also, I assume there are no officially "tournament-sanctioned" commentators, since there is no mention of that in the rules?

What do you mean by replay mode? I don't think there is a replay mode currently. Im not 100% certain of the technicalities used, but I think there will be a way that only the streamers can join the spectator mode.

You're also right about the commentators, as you said scheduling is hard enough so I think assigning streamers now will only make it more difficult.

Hi,

Your Young Witch just got a bit unlucky. On the first play, your opponent reacted with Diplomat the find the bane, then their Oracle discarded the Young Witch twice and you drew it dead once. You only played the YW three times until turn 20, one of them giving your opponent a curse.

Also, the other curser on the board, Replace, dealt out some curses so there weren't 10 in the supply.

Did you have 5 coins to purchase it?

Updated rules 4.7 to include a section about stalemates. Feedback is welcome there.

Also updated 8 to clarify some things and removed the previous 8.3

I deleted every use of "Organizer" in the document which was just an oversight and not an intended distinction. It appears only once in there mentioning the prize pool, which was recommended to not violate gambling laws in certain countries.

Also, I don't want to overstate my role here; I'm just bothering people about how this tournament could be run without any major trouble and happen to post the results.

This is a good guess, I do remember having Black Market in the Kingdom aswell when I had this bug.

Because 3rd is 150 and 4th is 50, you need to play a consolation match before the finals to figure out 3rd/4th. Any reason it's not just 100/100?

More dominion! I suppose it's nice for a strong player who got unlucky in the semifinals so you can make up for a bit.

(I didn't choose the prizes but it seems ok to me)

How is this tournament going to handle users who have blacklisted others?

There will be no precautions against matching people who are on each others blacklists. I think you are still be able to join their table and if not, you will have to remove them from your blacklist during the match.

If they are verbally abusive during the match, inform your moderator.

Hi,

I have played hundreds of rated games and have a Gold subscription but yet I don't see my name (jakey) on the list?  Is there anything that I am missing?

yes, this part:

"This list was updated 20 August 2017, 01:43:59 PM"

Your name will be on the list after the next update.

a signup I got via pm:

Juanjohn512 im trying to register.  Thank you

Mine also says pending subscription and I have the free one year from membership to the old site. Does that count as a subscription?

It doesn't. You need to add on Empires by purchasing a Gold subscription.

Well that's pretty unfortunate that I'd have to pay the full 27 EUR when I'm only missing one game. Is that the only way to get it?

jsh is slightly incorrect, it will default to 365 days in the future, which should cost about 27 EUR for you. You're subscribed to everything but Empires, so a subscription to that should cost about 3€, and less than 2€ if you purchase that subscription only in the time of the tournament.

To do that, simply click on the calender that you'll find in the store tab.

You're right, Events and Landmarks don't have a direct link to Adventures/Empires like Colony has to Prosperity.

Imagine Shuffling all the Events and Landmarks (about 54) into the rndomizer pile of all kingdom cards (about 263). Then you pick cards until you have 10 Kingdom cards. This means that right now, it's very likely that you get atleast 1 Landscape into your game (about 86% if I remember correctly).
