You have to aim first, then do the wild swing roll

Ahhh, ok. Makes sense then! I woulda done the same thing you did.

edit:

There is no inbetween for my wins. Either its a complete beatdown or i escape by the skin of my teeth

Sent another $5 to the Playdek fund for Summoner Wars. Still haven't finished the Nightfall tutorial, hah!

Catan is a dollar off. Might snatch that since online multiplayer is on the way eventually.

Yo Summoners!

Signups are now open for the Summoner Wars Summer Magic Fiesta ∞ Dream Draw Roll Build Cup. Rankings are based on W/l percentage. 1st tier is >50 (maybe 75?) games played, 2nd tier is >25(maybe 40?) and the third tier is based on less than that. Hereafter is automatic one seed based on his performance in the last tourney.

Sign up by Gaf Name/GC name
W/L

Tourney starts with pool play. Depending on the signups, we'll have different number of groups. Either way, you'll play 2 games per group member, with the loser getting to counterpick. Wins are 2pts, tiebreaks are determined by a playoff. If we get that number of people i think we will, top 2 of each group advance.

After pool play, we head to a 2/3 series single elimination knockout round. 3rd place will remain 2/3. Final will be 3/5. Prizes to be determined, but probably Itunes credit

Sounds good to everyone?

For a new page! Sign up folks! Should i wait for the Playdek sale to be over to start?

Wait for the Dominion rage to die down.
Gives us something to cheer us up.

I'm with you on the pessimism. After thet missed the first two announced release dates withou giving ANY comment and generally terrible community service my expectations are terribly low. Sad because I LOVE Dominion and I'll throw any money at it.

Really worried that all we're getting is an embargo lifting (6am PST) on a press release saying iOS is coming soon,
and it might be iPad only too
(getting the pessimism in before breakfast)

I've already flipped too many tables about this, I will not do it again. Poor tables. Not their fault. If it's gonna be iPad only though, then I'll... I dunno. I'll take it out on the wall this time.

Please tell me you just grabbed out some old Lego you had and built that yourself.

Thanks for making my night, that was hilarious.

Dominion will be a Phantom exclusive.

Thunderstone (submitted to Apple 7th) Dominion (submitted 14th)

 

[Kosh]

Ray and Black, sorry I had to remake our games. I loaded the wrong deck.

 

[eznark]

So BGG has a couple news stories up saying Goku has launched and that you can play Dominion now on the site and also at Google+. Uh...I'm not seeing that.

No-one else is either.

 

[eznark]

Great launch! It's funny, I'm starting to see a ton of stories "Goku officially launches today with four huge games!" Is it that difficult to quickly check goku.com before hitting the publish button?

RFTG, Catan, Citadels, Steam.

I can't believe outlets stuck to an embargo of the announcement of a private, closed beta.

Too funny.

It was a private beta last week too.
(It would have been more impressive if something worked this morning though)

 

[eznark]

Yeah, I'm more laughing at this being embargoed. Tune in at 9 am to find out the hot scoop that a game we announced over a year ago is being tested by people other than you!

 

[superrobot]

Their twitter account announced we should pile over to goko.com.
A subsequent update says to hang on for a bit, somethings not quite right.
Exciting.

 

[eznark]

Ah, so it was actually supposed to be a live launch of the site. Less embarrassing that.

 

[tm24]

Told you guys that smiley was right

Why does it not feel like a win.... Also, like I said, so this pretty much guarantees no offline play, since the app is just front-end for the website.
EDIT: no offline play I meant.

On the bright side, base game free? That's not too bad... And already submitted so hopefully end of next week release?

Also, Thunderstone coming to iOS? Didn't even know...

I love how the Options for Gender are "Option 1" and "Option 2" lol.

Also (as someone noticed on BGG) note that it says Citadels not Catan

 

[eznark]

Catan MMO sounds like Farmville with a Catan skin.

Also, like I said, so this pretty much guarantees no online play

No offline play I assume you mean?

 

[Gatekeeper]

So we're all going to band together and not buy anything Dominion related, right?








Right?






Guys?

... Yes, that's what I meant. I don't really care since I only playy MP anyway, but others
Might. :/

I'll still definitely buy it but I assume this means there won't be an actual Dominion or RFTG app on iOS or Android which is a serious fucking bummer.

 

[Heel]

Crossing my fingers that it isn't delayed again!

Sorry friends.

 

[blackflag]

damn just now reading about all this Dominion crap. Doesn't even have asynch........will never buy.

 

[Oxigen_Waste]

Hmmm, so... is the iOS Le Havre app any good?

Also, what's this I hear about Dominion, is it coming out on iOS?
That'd be awesome...

All we'd need then would be Twilight Struggle, Agricola, Power Grid and Pandemic and we'd be set!

 

[AstroLad]

iOS Le Havre is good (works on both async and local, implements the rules correctly) but not flashy or pretty would be the best way I'd describe it.

 

[superrobot]

They've just tweeted and deleted it. It said it was fixed. (it wasn't)

 

[eznark]

With Dominion set to launch on Goko.com today, a lot of mobile gamers might be wondering if they’re getting the cold shoulder. Not quite, though you’ll have to wait a little longer to play Dominion on your iPhone or Android. “Those will be coming out 30 days or so after we launch from here, because we’re actually wrapping it in a native wrapper, kind of like what Netflix does with their HTML5 app in the [App] Store. That way we can publish it directly into the App Store, and we can also take advantage of Apple’s in-app payments and native things.”

lol

 

[blackflag]

lol

Beautiful, good thing I'm not crazy about the game. If it was well implemented, I would have bought it but I still think it is very overrated.

 

[eznark]

Yeah, I missed the part about it being asynchronous. Not a chance I'll buy it. Maybe I'll play it on Google + or something.

 

[AstroLad]

Maybe I'll play it on Google + or something.

word

i'm actually really excited to do so. REALLY excited

it seems like part of the issue is just how they appear to have pitched the service. it really isn't an app in any traditional sense, and if you disabuse yourself of notions associated with "apps" it seems to be a pretty good product

 

[eznark]

you don't say!

 

[gazele]

Is there a thread for the new summoner wars tournament? If not I'm in, my W-L is 37-44

No asynchronous play, no offline play...good product?

You have a new employer, Astro?

 

[AstroLad]

isotropic didn't have any of those (nor did it have AI or official images), and i thought that was a good product. hell i would have easily paid for it
