I've not tried Dominion, I'll have to see if I can find it. Cosmic Encounter is a favorite of mine, I really should have played it sooner. All of the folks at college who liked it had played it enough that they rarely used the base rules, and double-power double-blind isn't exactly the way to learn. Well, it might be a way to learn, I suppose. :]
I've always been fond of copy protection that doesn't prevent piracy but does put weird restrictions on gameplay. If I recall, Master of Orion 1 used the traditional 'look this up in the manual' questions, but if you got them wrong all of the AI players would immediately declare war on you. It made for an interesting challenge if you ere good at the game. I'm not sure if that changed the AI difficulty, either.
That is a pretty wonderful stained glass window! I don't think I'd be a good influence keeping you from buying it, it suits you well.
If you hold Goth Catgirl Rave on the moon, I'll check what Virgin Galacic's rates are. I'm sure I can drum up a place to stay wherever, and providing the fights aren't egregiously expensive I'll head there. It's sufficiently off-season that flying shouldn't be too expensive, at least.
