Hi Mr. Numbers. Thanks for that! We have to schedule our match. What window of time do you have this weekend? Perhaps we can play on Sunday?

Sunday sounds good to me. As far as I am aware we have 7 hours time difference. So it can be my Sunday evening and your Sunday morning/noon.

That sounds good. We'll talk more during the week to confirm. Thanks!

Congratulations guys!

Just to recap, here is the list of expansions to be used for the final:

-   River 1 + 2
-   Inns & Cathedrals
-   Traders & Builders
-   Abbey & Mayor
-   The Phantom

(MrNumbers starts because of highest score differential)

May the best man win, and please report back here after your match to let everyone know who the champion is!

Dan

Unfortunately now I do not have time to do a match report.
I hope to do as soon as possible, for now here's the situation tile final.

I am not sure if we must play with "Abbey & Mayor" while this annoying wagon bug exists. I use wagon features quite a lot and in some circumstances it can be critical, specially for the final game. IMO, two possible solutions here:
1. Exclude "Abbey & Mayor" and replace with something else (less preferable, as I like it a lot).
2. Wait until Farin will fix this issue (more preferable, but only if it won't be months).
Dan? Carcking?

Perhaps farin will be able to find a solution to the wagon problem before you're due to have your match but this is probably a little optimistic. You could postpone until it is fixed but I couldn't guess how long that might take.

Since it's between the two of you at this stage I see no reason why the list of expansions couldn't be revised as long as you are both in agreement on the final set of expansions used. The idea was to make the games bigger as the rounds progressed but this doesn't need to be the case if you're happy to settle for less tiles. So, ultimately it's up to the two of you how you want to play but I would recommend replacing Abbey & Mayor with something else if you can both agree happily on the replacement. Perhaps Corn Circles and The Besiegers instead?

I am completely flexible. I can wait or change A&M for something else.

And I can take satisfaction that I beat Carcking in the pool play. Go Carcking.

quevy/ jungleboy:

As you both reached a semi-final but were unsuccessful in making it into the final It seems sensible that there should be a match for third/ fourth if this is something you’re interested in? I know you’ve already played each other at the group stage but obviously the stakes would be a little higher this time!

I think it would be best to use the same set of expansions as will be used for the final (assuming farin is able to fix the issue with the wagon) and it would help to establish an overall ranking so that we can be seeded for the next online contest.

How would you feel about this? You could play it whenever you like and I can probably host but first we will need to wait to hear from farin regarding the wagon.
