Title: 2015 World Cup - Group A
Post by: danisthirty on September 01, 2015, 03:38:20 AM
Welcome to the group stage of the 2015 World Cup of Carcassonne Central! This thread is primarily for members of Group A to arrange matches between themselves and post scores, screenshots and the obligatory smack-talk as the group progresses. The top 2 players from this group once everyone in the group has played all 4 of their matches will advance through to the knockout stage.

Here is a list of the group members (including location):

If you haven’t read them already, please ensure that you are familiar with the tournament rules/ general information (http://www.carcassonnecentral.com/community/index.php?topic=2012.msg27708#msg27708) (you should also receive this via email). You may also find the JCloisterZone FAQ (http://www.carcassonnecentral.com/community/index.php?topic=778) interesting/ useful if you have any unanswered questions about how JCloisterZone works (or you can just email me).

Good luck, and have fun!

Due to an apparent "bug" with the way River 1 is implemented within JCloisterZone, please avoid using this expansion in your game. At this stage of the competition we will now be using Inns & Cathedrals and King & Robber Baron only.

If your issue is, that you can't open the 7c file, try the link (http://jcloisterzone.com/builds/JCloisterZone-3.3.1.zip) to the zip version of 3.3.1. But don't forget to unpack it before using.

Piklach will play a game. He has time this morning. I thought that he has an appointment for a game play 10:00am UK time - 11:00am Central European time.

So why can't I see anyone in the chatroom?

Piklach received a message from jma03 earlier to say that he wouldn't be available until 11am. They've started playing now though so the game is on - good luck guys. Thanks for keeping track of things ketlefish.

Congrats jma03! Although you are the only player, I'm a little familiar with, I'm particularly interested, how this group develops. And I'm quite sure, Merlin_89 also. So it's good for us, if this group now also starts a bit rolling. :P

Finish your current game and tell him to come play here! :)

I know how difficult it is to leave the "Rolls Royce of digital Carcassonne"...  This app is so slick. That's how I missed the very first Carc Central league... Didn't want to leave the comfort of the iOS version. :(

Thanks for the screenshot - looks like the farm made all the difference! It also looks as though you forgot to include King & Robber Baron? That's a shame, but I think the result can still stand. But do please remember to include it in your next game; although there's only 5 of them, the extra tiles are quite good fun as much as anything else!

So, if you had included K & RB, 14 complete cities + 16 complete roads could have meant a 30-point bonus for the player who closed the largest city and the longest road (if it was the same player). This could have been enough to have won the game for Mrs_Decar. Otherwise they pretty much cancel each other out.

Well done on your game!

Just to let you know, Piklach is hopefully playing Mrs_Decar tomorrow evening or Thu morning - I'm just waiting for confirmation.

Nothing is scheduled with jazbang at the moment though after the arranged game fell through the other week. Piklach is probably available this Sat from 9am until 2pm or on Friday to start playing at about 8pm - are these any good for you jazbang? If so, let me know which works best for you so that he's not sat in the chatroom waiting just in case you're free.

Times are GMT +1, but I think we're all based in the UK anyway. Thanks.

Not, that I would say no otherwise, but I think, it would be convenient to have you as a host anyway, although online server seems to be stable now.

Thanks for the match Jazbang.
Scores were
228= Piklach
177=Jazbang

It all came down to the last few tiles but I managed to keep control of the farm. Close game at the end though thought I was going to lose because of what the last tile could've been.
