Lol, it's possible that Stephanie and I threw some victory points into the pile. It was confusing. So yeah, next time we should do like Josh and just sort in our own area first.

Gold is good and easy to get in this one.
I got lucky with the Library.

My preferences from best to worst: Village Square; Size Distortion; First Game. Josh's preferences from best to worst: Size Distortion; Village Square; First Game. As such, I assign 1=Village Square and 2=Size Distortion and have Steve pick a number. He picks 1 and so we play Village Square.

Steve on one of his turns got two provinces, but by a remodel and a buy.
Remodel is a relatively poor card, at least in this setup.
In this game, Festival > Market.
Great combination: Festival + Throne Room

Game 1:
Started around 10:00 PM.
Ended around 11:45 PM.
Chose first player by whoever pulls the copper from copper, silver, gold.
Victory Dance preset:
Bridge, Duke, Great Hall, Harem, Ironworks, Masquerade, Nobles, Pawn, Scout, Upgrade
Steve realized he bought a Harem using Ironworks by accident.
We agreed he could replace Harem for a Pawn and a Bridge.
Scout+Great Hall is great. Great Hall alone is the best card.
Upgrade is hard to use, but has its uses: you have to trash some card and the card you gain has to cost exactly one more than the card you trashed.
Great Hall first
Bridge second.
Pawn, Masquerade, and Scout are all down to three.
I tease to end the game soon, but decide to continue in spirit of playing to win. I get some lucky rounds off and slowly gain ground.
Finally, Josh buys two Pawns.
Pawn third. Josh ended.

Note: Daniel ended the game despite knowing he was losing.
Josh commented Trading Post was the worst card in this game.
He followed by saying Conspirator and Tribute were the two best cards in this game.

Today Ryan and I played a game of Dominion. It consisted of the following ten cards: Great Hall, Steward, Baron, Ironworks, Mining Village, Scout, Bridge, Coppersmith, Torturer, Harem.
Ryan was unlucky early game, he had a 5 copper / 2 copper split while I had a 4 copper / 3 copper split.
By the end of the game I had the following: 4, 3, 0, 3, 3, 0, 1, 0, 3, 1 (respectively). I discarded 1 Mining Village during the game. My end money is 7 Cooper, 3 Silver, 2 Gold.
The game end was (1) Great Hall, (2) Mining Village, and (3) Ironworks.
TT RC
04 04 Great Hall
01 00 Harem
03 01 Estate
02 00 Duchy
03 04 Province
While I won, Ryan informed me that I should have used all my Mining Villages in my "big" turn to buy the last Province instead of buying my Harem. I would have had 4 Great Hall, 3 Estate, 1 Harem, and 4 Province.
After the game ended, Ryan revealed his Harem+Scout strategy. He also suggested that the early game here is Ironworks+Great Hall.

Today I played a game of Dominion with my roommate and his friend. Using the Prosperity expansion together with the original set, we played the recommended set called Biggest Money. It consists of the following ten cards: Bank, Grand Market, Mint, Royal Seal, Venture, Adventurer, Laboratory, Mine, Moneylender, Spy.

I thought Laboratory was a really good card. For a more expensive card, then Grand Market is useful. Then one strategy is to use Moneymaker to get rid of coppers. I thought Spy might be useful, but none of us used it in a strategy.
While I'd like to blame the Union Craft Duckpin Pale Ale for my loss, we were all drinking some beer, and if anything I had the least to drink.
