On Yukata, you have to confirm once again after scoring, and that does not make sense and is likely to e forget. However, I hardly ever had to wait for ny1050220, since I had the other game running.

From another thread:
Have never played that, but it's at Yucata! Now, that I registered there, maybe we want to give it a try in the evening? Possibly back to back with a game of South Seas?

I love your enthusiasm :) But I'm a bit scared of Yucata and I don't want to get hooked on it. So for now I am resisting :)
Unless we arrange group meetings, as long as you have to play with the people there, I don#t think, there is much danger of it. Most user seem to open a dozend of games and go offline after a few turns. It's more like "play by forum" or even "play by snail mail", then real time online games.

I think, I give it a try to maybe establish such a group here. Like I hinted before, I like the big selection, Yucata provides, but am not hooked by the "asynchronous play mode", which provides games to possible last for weeks or months, like if you would play a game of chess with your pen pal. My idea for this would be:
  • Every meeting features at least one game of South Seas or Hunter & Gatherers.
  • We arrange a date a few days in advance.
  • At least for the first meetings, everybody who wants to participate, and tells so up to 24 hours in advance, picks either H&G or South Seas. This mainly to give everybody time to make him- or herself familiar with the special rules.
  • Everybody can also pick a couple of other games for the meeting to play after the main Carc game.
  • Likewise, we determine 24 hours in advance, the game with the most votes, so everybody, who wants to participate can get the rules prepared.
  • If a 2 player only game is selected as second game, and an uneven number of players occurs, we announce it here once again, when the Carg game is starting. Maybe somebody wants to join last minute at least for the other game. Otherwise, we sure will find at least one player, who would like to play a second game of the same type. After all, we are not bound, how many games to play on the particular evening. So everybody should be able to participate in all games (s)he wants, not wasting time learning rules to be left out.

So for our first try, I would suggest Mo, June May 2nd, 8:30 pm Middle European Summer Time, this will be 7:30 pm British Summer Time or 9:30 Eastern European Summer Time. I would vote for Hunters & Gatherers as the main game and Jaipur and Torres as candidates for the "side dish" of the week.

I guess you mean Monday May 2nd?

So nobody is really interested or appears to have time today. Maybe we'll postpone it for Wednesday?

I'd really like to try BrettSpielNetz's Implementation of Carcassonne:The Castle tonight - anyone fancy it?

There will be a "H&G" tournament at Yucata. I might take part, although it will probably drag, because players just have to commit, that they will make "one or more moves per day". It will be a team-tournament of 2 players each team and only 4 games for each team, so I think, this is durable, and promisses fun due to the mode and competition with other players. So anybody here to form a "Team CarcCentral" with me?

Cool, you'll have to confirm in the thread there, though.

I've been playing an epicly long game of Carcassonne The Castle against someone at brettspielnetz.  The first move was on the 10th May.

I managed to win 98 : 77.  I got +10 bonus tiles and my opponent seemed to forget about scoring markets at the end of the game and also played many tiles into the Keep meaning they lost a few points (11 down to 6) for scoring the largest house.

It's the first time I've played the game and appreciated the strategy - it was a close game.

You can see the game replayed here if you're interested:
