I will have much more time from now on. I'll PM everyone to schedule the games.

I didn't get a PM (that I noticed - apologies if I missed it) but I should be available to play either this evening or perhaps at the weekend all being well. Just drop me a PM or comment here if you think you will have time and we can agree on something.

Other than this, I have already scheduled a game with thodekey and it sounds as though Sam is having difficulties getting off the ground. The other person I need to play is monwil but I've not heard from her. Please give me a shout if you're reading this Monica. Looking forward to playing against you again after such a long time! :)

Sorry! My bad! I got pulled out of the office just after the post and then got totally wasted last night, and honestly I'm expecting another one tonight, and very likely more on the weekend...
Before everyone frowns upon graduate students' life style, I just want to clarify that three of us just defended this week.
Okay, back to our business, as far as I can see now, I should be available this afternoon. I'll stay in the chat room when I am. Not sure about the weekend yet.

I'll happily play against you whenever works best for you if it means you're going to be wasted at the time! >:D

Thnaks for the game ny1050220! :) :(y)

This was the result:

danisthirty :black1-meeple: 212 - 162 :blue-meeple: ny1050220



This whole game reminded me of a book I once read about a wizard called Harry Potter (you probably won't have heard of it - it's pretty obscure). Anyway, there's this bit right at the end of the last book where Harry is having a battle with the captain of the evil baddies and their wands are all going like mad and they're totally well into it and stuff. But, the wand that the baddy guy is using is loyal to Harry because of something he did earlier which means the bad guy's spell and magic and that doesn't work properly against Harry and sort of backfires so that he blows himself to bits and Harry wins and that's the end.

So what did this game have to do with Harry Potter? Well. ny1050220 chose the Blue meeples! :blue-meeple: :(y) And everyone knows that the blue meeples are loyal only to me, so even though I was using the black meeples, the blue meeples remained loyal to me and destroyed ny's game for me... 8)

Apologies for my silliness ny1050220 but to be perfectly honest there wasn't a lot I could think to write about as it felt very even for most of the game and we both enjoyed a good share of luck with tiles that we needed often coming up at exactly the right time (especially the crrrs!). I tempted fate at one point by claiming 3 cloisters in a row and as ny set about trapping them there I kept drawing just what I needed to escape.

In the end, most features seemed to be tied but I'd held a bit of a lead for much of the game (mostly thanks to those cloisters) which gave me the edge in the final scoring.

Well played ny1050220 and good luck for the rest of the competition!
Dan :)

I'm free for a game now. I'll be free tomorrow morning between 9:30 and 11:30 EST (14:30 to 16:30 in the UK and 15:30 to 17:30 in Belgium), and then in the afternoon and the evening.

 :-[

I am hoping to play both monwil and thodekey next week which would double the amount of games played this week even if those are the only ones!

I haven't heard a lot from Sam, but I think he's having trouble getting JCloisterZone to work...  :(

I still haven't heard from SamoolSamosa or monwil (having sent PMs to them both early on in the tournament). What's the next step?

You can contact with rfielder to help to schedule the game with monwil. As for SamoolSamosa, I will send him a PM.
