Hi folks. Just to let you know that I've created a new thread for posting screenshots of friendly games / practice matches. Given the number of non-tournament / league matches being played, having somewhere dedicated to post the details will help keep other threads less cluttered. Thanks to jungleboy for the suggestion - I'll post details of our game there shortly!

group1: Merlin_89 is online in the chatroom

and Halfling was gone promptly after a friendly game without answering in the chatroom if he likes to play with Merlin_89 or not.

perhaps Halfling was late for something, I'm sure he'll be back very soon.

Hey guys,

I just wanted to let you know that I could game group 1 games this weekend. So if you have time (preferably in the evening) just write me a PM.

group2: Ailurus is in the chatroom - he likes to play a game.

Send private messages to your opponents and agree on a time to meet, otherwise one can wait forever in the chat room.

Originally, this chatroom was used to meet 5-10 minutes before a scheduled game in order to solve any potential problems with hosting/connecting. If you manage to play a few ad hoc games then good for you but the main purpose of the chatroom shouldn't be to plan your matches.

Just an advice

Also, a member will only receive one email until they visit the forum post again. So it's likely they haven't received the last information about the chatroom unless they've been here recently. PMing will always send an email so the best way to arrange!

This can be changed in forum account settings. So did I, and I receive every post from subscribed threads.

That's handy to know - Thanks Mr Numbers!

Can everyone let me know:

if they have managed to schedule any games
who you've contacted to schedule games
if they've had trouble getting responses

To my knowledge there is at least one person, who would love to step in and take the place of an inactive participant.

Thanks a lot!

Hi Decar. Just to let you know that Ailurus and I are playing tonight at 8pm. spikey_dino and I are in discussions about playing in a few days time (hopefully the time difference won't cause too much of a problem). I've not messaged anyone else yet, but will send a PM tonight.

Thanks for letting me know Rich_The_Fish - hope the game goes well!

I've updated the Tile Distribution:

Couldn't think of a better way to do it!

The second game in Group 2 was played a short while ago between Ailurus and myself. I don't know about him, but I found it quite tough - having to adapt my game due to my first 6 tiles being roads so I took a gamble with a few farmers! Ailurus ended up with 4 cloisters, of which all but one had a monk occupying it until right near the end (and thus tying up his meeples). It was a relatively close game, with the winner being largely undecided until final scoring was completed. In the end it would appear that the farmers made the crucial difference, although it could have been very different if we'd shared the farm points or if Ailurus had managed to finish a relatively large city.

Final scores were:
Rich_The_Fish: 106

Ailurus: 87

It was an enjoyable game - thanks for contacting me to arrange playing. Screenshot attached...
