Q17:Although it's been a quiet year for online tournaments, TheAwesomeTheSteveAllen has worked hard establishing our all-new Carcassonne Central Divisional League system which is already proving popular among those players who have been able to schedule any matches . In the premiership meanwhile, at least one player was keen to get some practice games in after making a startling revelation that he's only ever played three games of Carcassonne; all three resulting in victories over yours truly! Who was this?
Q18:With 18 questions asked (including the one that's currently in the process of being asked) and 6 left to go, we're three quarters of the way through this years advent quiz and Christmas will be with us very soon! I've been excitedly checking my postbox every morning for the last week or so to see if there's any sign of my Secret Santa present yet, but sadly I'm still waiting. Who was the first person to receive their Secret Santa present this year?
Q19:I haven't mentioned it so far, but it would be remiss of me not to mention one of this year's major highlights for Carcassonne fans around the world... the International Fan Meeting held in Saxony in July! For those of us who couldn't make it, Decar wrote an excellent photo-filled account of the week which covered all games played as well as all the extra activities/ excursions. Among MANY other games, Decar mentions that he enjoyed a game of Go against someone who "absolutely mashed" him. Who was this?
Q20:The year isn't over yet, but 2018 has been one of our lowest in terms of new membership. This said, our average hasn't dipped below 2 new members per day yet and we've certainly got quality over quantity anyway! One of our "new for 2018" members introduced himself in August. He discovered Carcassonne for the first time eight months previously and hadn't obsessed this much about a game for 30 years! Who was this?
Q21:One of the nice things about being a global community is, by definition, that we have members all around the world. And there's no better way to be reminded of this than when people post about their meetups with fellow members of CarcC. With this in mind, who sought out the Chilean national champion (and world number #16) in September during a year-long tour of South America with his girlfriend, for a game or two of Carcassonne?
Q22:Back in February, The Steve suggested that it might be a good idea for some of us to assist farin (author of JCloisterZone) by forming a squad of elite testers to playtest the interactions between the numerous expansions and to ensure that they behave as intended: "The Defenders of the Cloisterzone". Who came up with this name?
Q23:It's been a little while now since our Complete Annotated Rules document was last updated, and as such it's beginning to show it's age in terms of the growing list of expansions it doesn't mention. However, a small but dedicated team of Carcassonne rules gurus led by the almost competent Maj. Frost was established in September and their progress on the brand new WikiCarpedia has been incredible (so be sure to check it out if you haven't already)! They're always glad of any assistance from anyone who wishes to help, but which WikiCarpedia volunteer admitted that the existing CAR had been their bedtime reading over the summer?
(-6000pts btw dirk)
Q24:I didn't do a "spare bits giveaway" this year as I haven't got much in the way of spare bits left after 3 years of giving them all away! I did however give away a selection of tiles for both artwork editions that had been signed by Carcassonne's designer: Klaus-Jürgen Wrede . All of the tiles were claimed, but one lucky CarcC member was able to claim a signed river tile through this giveaway even though I didn't have one to give away to begin with! Who was this?
