Sorry Adrornalin but our home internet appears to be knackered and I can't get either of the laptops online.

Can we postpone? My phone is the only thing that's working at the moment!

Yes sure.
Next possibility from my side would be tomorrow around midday and on the weekend.
But first get your laptops back online.

MrNumbers vs. GLH510
103:97
108:73

Two fast games, we both miscounted some tiles in both games, but in both games I was able to win the main farm and secured the victory.

Game 1
What If?  :black1-meeple:  99 (start player)
Rich_The_Fish :red-meeple:  100

Wow, what a tense and close game. I was a bit surprised when I saw the score - I thought What If? had managed to score enough points near the end to clinch it. I'm pretty tired, so will just leave the screenshots up for now and do a write up another night.

Thanks very much for playing What If?

Game 1:
Dan :blue-meeple: 128
Adror :yellow-meeple: 100 (starting player)

Game 2:
Adror :yellow-meeple: 83
Dan :blue-meeple: 73 (starting player)

Two good fun games. The second was more intense than the first and was decided mostly by the order of the last 2 tiles! I certainly enjoyed more than my fair share of luck elsewhere though and felt overall that a tie was deserved.

Well played Adror and thanks for the games!

The second game became all about the gigantic city claiming 4 meeples each and growing. Rich was out of meeples when the CCCC-tile was drawn by me and the only playable option was to complete the city thus sharing the city and releasing meeples. Then it becae a farming game, but in the end the decisive point difference came from roads, strange.

What If :black1-meeple:-RichtheFish :red-meeple: 125-108
Roads 25-3
Cities 72-73
Cloisters 7-8
Farms 21-21

Game 1
Jéré     :yellow-meeple: 88 (Starting player)
Khalid  :red-meeple: 73


Game 2
Khalid  :red-meeple: 87 (Starting player)
Jéré     :yellow-meeple: 90


Won both games but it was not a walk in the park. Khalid is a top player and played very well. Somehow I managed to trap at least one of his guys in both games and it got more difficult for him to fight for the fields: A big one in the first game, several scattered fields in the second. Khalid would have won if he would have joined the large city...

After short break from The League...

103 :yellow-meeple: Merlin_89 (Home) - Leven :violet-meeple: 88 
64 :violet-meeple: Leven (Home) - Merlin_89 :yellow-meeple: 85

Two very similar, highly strategic and defensive games. For most of the time, we were stuck in our positions, we kept our distance... But it favoured me, because both times, I managed to score early lead, that I was focused to keep with me to the end.

Very tense match. Leven left me no room for mistakes. Thanks for that.

Thanks everyone! I think that's all the matches played now although still waiting for the result of Rosco vs. Chooselove which was apparently a tie. Need to know scores though so please post screenshots when you can Rosco!

Also, we have our first finisher who finishes a round ahead of everyone else as it is his sitting out round in round 15. Congratulations Rich_The_Fish - I hope you have enjoyed the tournament and would consider joining something similar if it runs again? Well done, and thanks for taking part...

CRAP! I just realised that the only participant I haven't played yet is What If... and I'm in Sweden right now for a 2-week business trip and this weekend I had nothing to do!! Missed a good opportunity to play in person!  :(

The final round is now live! :) :(y)

Click here for Round 15 (http://www.carcassonnecentral.com/community/index.php?topic=3558.msg52847#msg52847)

Still open as any one of 3 people could possibly finish up on top (perhaps unlikely but still mathematically possible in at least 1 case)
