577 - getting better

Second try, 497. This is fun

I've had two games of this now and this was the better one:

I'm sure I could have topped 600 but the second cathedral was late coming out, which shouldn't make a difference as I should have made a space for it in advance but I'm not that good at thinking ahead yet...

Leaderboard updated!

Thanks for giving this a go everyone - who's going to be the first to breach 600!

Question: Do all attempts get recorded and placed in the ranking?

Because when you do that and award random places a prize, you can just play game after game with scores of 200, flood the ranking, and still be able to win something. I know most (if not all) of us don't think that way but it's just something I wondered.

Up to 5-chances per player, plus an extra for a tweet including: #gencant #carcsolocon @carcassonne with their submission.

And from the parent thread:

To win spot prizes, the maximum number of chances will be 5 per player, but you are welcome to submit more attempts. One additional chance will be given to anyone who includes #gencant #carcsolocon @carcassonne in a tweet with their submission. You can submit on twitter, here or on CarcF.

So yes, you can spam the leader board and you'll get 6 chances to win the spot prize. Sorry that's not clear.

Sorry about that, seems like a silly question now.

Not at all, I've clipped and changed the original post and split the threads, so it's made it a little unclear.

Happy to see all your entries, I can post them on twitter and show people what they're missing out on!

New personal highscore with 558pts. But I always finish the cathedral cities too soon, that is why I think I wont break the overall highscore from WhatIf.

Maybe it is a farm highscore with 152pts, 22 out of 24 cities counted at least double, all 9 meeples are farmers, beginning with 9pts.

6 out of 8 cloister were finished, means 18pts are missing, and one bigger town with also 18pts I couldnt finish in the end.

558pts + 36pts = 594pts!

(I think this is called a naive fallacy)

danisthirty · « **Reply #24 on:** August 06, 2016, 06:06:52 AM »

I'm a bit addicted to this at the moment. I'm not getting any better at it, but I did almost manage to beat my top score just now:

I did at least manage to complete all the cloisters. Do I get a medal for that?

Decar · « **Reply #25 on:** August 06, 2016, 06:13:08 AM »

You win another chance of winning a spot prize, but seeing as you're in 3rd place, you'd win one anyway

Hounk · « **Reply #26 on:** August 06, 2016, 04:04:55 PM »

First attempt: meager 501 points.

wolnic · « **Reply #27 on:** August 06, 2016, 04:16:16 PM »

A marginally better attempt - 514 - and again by playing unplanned. Trying a more planned approach I seem to end up between 460 and 500 - over several attempts.

I also gave my AI opponents each a couple of chances. Purple Adda managed a fairly creditable 446, but generally they scored between 330 and 380.

Still not crossing 600, but here is raising my points by one to 594 and I´ll post an image, even if it´s large. Now to spend the rest of the night finding 600...
