I've been there! ...and I drank water from the fountain that means one day I will go back. :)

Somebody brave enough to play against me tonight? (That excludes Dan I guess...) Otherwise tomorrow?

Thanks, jma03!

The acronyms are:
R ... Road
F ... Field
C ... City
X ... any configuration.

So a cathedral will be a CCCC tile, the starting tile is a CRFR, etc. It's always considering the edges, going clockwise.

Are you still available, Jéré?

Farin? It says "server maintenance" when we try to connect. How long it will take?  Someone could host us perhaps?

I can't host. New internet provider haven't set up the router yet. Also on my phone atm as my computer is doing video editing atm.
World record holder for a single game of Carcassonne using 10 007 tiles!

Jéré 139 - Houk 90

Houk had a very good start. Took control of the fields and even trapped one of my meeples quite early in the game. I had the feeling he was in control of the game and this was confirmed when he felt confident enough to close one of my city with cathedral (I think it was to have more completed cities in his field). I have been patient and waited for the perfect occasion to invade his fields... meanwhile I trapped some of his guys so at the end I managed to gain almost all points from the farmers, avoiding Houk's attempt to block my double meeple from connecting his field. Great game Houk!

Merit to Dan for coming to the rescue and host our game. :)

Yes, definitive merit to Dan for that. We didn't really think, this game would happen tonight.

So This was my first game from this league.

It was a good start by me by closing a cathedral city for 33 points at the beginning.  It continued to be fairly consistant and I keep hold of my lead throughout.  There were a few moments when the scores were getting much closer and i was hoping Hounk wouldnt get the one tile that would screw me - he didnt! 

Thanks Hounk
Just lay the damn tile!

Congrats Rosco! How did you play your game finally? Server maintenance was finished or someone came to host?

Wow - someone actually gave me merit as well; it's been a long time since that happened!  ;D

I would have liked to have watched the whole game as it was played but unfortunately I had to go out to the shop. Hounk was in a very strong position when I left though, so I really rushed around the shop to get back and see the rest of it but it was over by the time I got back.

Congratulations to Jere and Rosco on your wins (what were the scores in your game Rosco? I can't make them out from the screenshot) and commiserations to Hounk on your losses, hopefully the games were enjoyable despite this?

I may be able to get a couple of games in this evening. I will aim to get into the chat room at about 9pm, see you there...  :)

EDIT: Forgot to mention our first game! Well done on your victory here Hounk, and sorry for your loss jma03. I hope you enjoyed the game anyway and are looking forward to your next game...

Score can be read pretty easy on the right side of the screen shot: 179:105.

And yes, I enjoyed the games. I made some big mistakes (in most cases, like when not connecting a farm with a straight road against Jéré, I noticed, right after the placement), which is something, you just can't do, if you want to have a chance to win against very strong opponents like Jéré and Rosco. Nevertheless, they had been both good games. :)
