Daily Zoughts - Oct 28 2023 (Sat)

It's post #7! That's probably enough to say, sure I can tell other people I'm doing this.

I got an email reply from a professor today even though it's a weekend which is nice. They liked the idea I had for a project so that's good. Still waiting on the other reply...

I spent a lot of time working today (but still not the RPG D:). Even though I know I definitely made progress, it also feels like I didn't at the same time. Probably because I worked on 5 different things today, and so my memory of each is hazy.

Earlier today I played some Dominion. I almost always play Dominion in the morning (barring specific days where I'm really busy or traveling), but I don't think I'll mention my morning games very often in these blog posts because that's a cheap way of filling up space. Anyways most of my games are against higher level players, so usually they beat me up while I score a coupel wins. Today though I automatched against players who were actually lower rated than me, and I won 4/4 games, which feels weird; usually I'm lucky to win 50%.

Ok since I brought up those games I may as well quickly describe them: 1. Town Pilgrim engine with Butcher. Chameleon helped out, along with Tracker boons

2. Opponent had the better opening split but didn't open correctly (Salvager Pooka). I built the Villa Townsfolk deck and then I guess they resignef because they still had all their Estates and 5 Curses.

3. I had to open nothing / Fated Maroon but it worked ok. I got Sailor Tactician going and I guess they didn't notice.

4. A really weak board; it was funny being on turn 15 and wait only 1 Province has been gained? Silvers and Golds would've died to Corsair so instead we had to buy a bunch of Relics (which were good with Fawning Storyteller).
