Well done jungleboy!

Better luck with your next game mas9dj...

jungleboy 135 - 119 Farin

congrats, tough game to the last turn

This was very close. With 11 tiles left the scores were level but farin had one more meeple on the main farm and was therefore 'virtually winning' the match. I managed to get my big meeple onto the farm and although farin got one more meeple in himself to tie it, I had enough points elsewhere to just sneak home.

I am online in cc-league irc chat ready for any game atm, Saturday Aug 9 until 2pm or later (CET / Stockholm timezone).

Need a host for the games, though.

I think I am able to broadcast the game live with twitch, would anyone be interested in that? We could arrange an hour that is convenient for CC forum users around the world

That sounds like a better alternative than having players connect via JCZ but not claim a meeple on the pre-game screen. Although I don't know what future developments farin has planned to change this...

What is twitch? I went to the website but it wasn't very informative. There was a lot of stuff about how great it is, but nothing to do with how it actually works or what it does. I love websites like that

Tuesday, Aug 12, 10am.

I am in cc-league chat if anyone finds the time for my games in the league. (Still can't host myself, I'm afraid.)

Yellow and I are trying to arrange our match in Group C but neither of us can host. We have scheduled the match for 8pm Central European Time (GMT + 2) tonight (Tuesday). Can anyone host our game at this time? We can also delay it by an hour or two if that is more convenient for any potential hosters.

Alternatively, we are both available right now (10:20am CET) if someone is very keen to host us straight away!

Thanks!

(I will also cross-post this in the main WC thread for maximum exposure.)

UPDATE!

I can now host games.

Not sure how it all of a sudden started working. For all I know it was the presence of MrNumbers in chat helping me going thru possible solutions.

If my computer is on, I will leave the game in host mode. All you need to do is come to irc chat requesting my ip.

Allowing JRE go through firewall sealed the deal

Cherchez la firewall

Congratulations, jungleboy! Third straight win!

Not boding well for me. Two losses in two games. Ouch!

This match was a consensus replay when the game stopped working with SIX tiles left. We were both standing equally in general so a rematch was the best choice.

The yellow 33 is a farm score not a city score case it's not that obvious. mas9dj had two devastating luck tile draw which literally shattered any chance I had. My only consolation was the huge farm I acquired. Not that he bothered with it because he knew it was futile. Lol!

Yellow did a very nice game, I just came out lucky at some points which finally decided the game. I've made videos of both games and streamed them on twitch, in case anyone want to see them, here they are, with my silly comments.

Game 2 (Official Game): http://www.twitch.tv/mas9dj/c/4889342

Since we had to restart and all, my broadcasting software went nuts and the second game doesn't show off the right side of the game where you can see scores and the tiles we are drawing, sorry about that. You can see final scoring on Yellow's screenshots.

This is an obvious thing to say of course, but having Inns and Cathedrals as part of the game has really added something to this tournament compared with the base game only format that we used during the League.

In the League, most games came down to a huge, winner-takes-all farm battle at the end. But as mas9dj showed in the game above, if you can win yourself a reasonably large cathedral city and do well enough elsewhere, you can lose a big farm and still win the game. By my count his cathedral city was worth 54 points which is always going to be more than even the largest farm in this format.
