Singing Dwarf - Crop Circles 2
Sinscerly - The Fliers
TheSteveAllen - Count of Carcassonne
Fixtures
Each player is to play a single two-person game of Carcassonne using JCloisterZone against each of the other players in the division. The starting date will be 1st December 2018 and all games must be played and the results posted on this thread before midnight GMT on Friday 16th February 2019. The starting player in each case will be chosen at random.
The tile set for each game will consist of the base game and each of the competitors' chosen expansions, i.e. two expansions are to be used in every match.
The Division
As a result of each match, each player will be awarded league points according to the following rules:-
Most game points for roads – 1 point
Most game points for cities – 1 point
Most game points for cloisters – 1 point
Most game points for farms – 1 point
Most game points overall (formerly referred to as 'a win') – 1 point
Tying any of the above with opponent – 0.5 points
This means that all matches have 5 points available to be distributed to the two players.
A league table with points gained from matches played will be maintained and regularly posted to this thread by the tournament organiser.
The top ranked two players after all matches have been played will be declared 'Champion' and 'Runner-up' respectively and will be considered as eligible for promotion.
In addition to the Champion and Runner-up, the following will be awarded:-
The Brave Brigand – the player with the most league points for roads
The Knoble Knight – the player with the most league points for cities
The Crafty Cleric – the player with the most league points for cloisters
The Fruitful Farmer – the player with the most league points for farms
The Triumphant Tiler – the player with the most league points for winning games
After each match, it is the winner's responsibility to ensure that the result is posted to this thread clearly showing the points awarded separately for Roads, Cloisters, Cities and Farms.
The full rules have been attached for you all to read at your leisure.
Please do not start playing league matches until 1st December, but it would be in all players' interests to try out a few pre-season matches as in my Freshers' Week post earlier today. http://www.carcassonnecentral.com/community/index.php?topic=4138.0 (http://www.carcassonnecentral.com/community/index.php?topic=4138.0)

Link to main page: Start Topic about League and explainings (http://www.carcassonnecentral.com/community/index.php?topic=4122.0)
Hi all, as Saturday the league will start. Pls subscribe to this thread so you keep up to date.
Also keep in mind we are not all in the same timezone. So for planning keep that in mind, as it's not really funny if one has to wait an hour for another :))
Here in the Netherlands we are currently in the UTC+1 as it is winter.
>>>********************************<<<
For as far I know. (UTC == GMT == CET-1):
UTC-5 - Kraftastic
UTC - TheSteveAllen, Singing Dwarf
UTC+1/CET - Sinscerly, Maj. Frost, Piet_Agoras
Fingerwiggles is somewhere in space ::)
>>>********************************<<<
I will be able to play my first match coming Sunday evening.
Furthermore I have quite busy scheme with things I do volunteer/work.
Through the week I am on internship so sadly I will not be able to play under work times...
Monday evenings mostly CET(20.00 - 23.00)
Tuesday evenings mostly always / or I have gamegroup.
Wednesday evenings mostly CET(20.00 - 23.00)
Thursday evenings once in the two weeks.
Friday evenings mostly CET(20.00 - 23.00) always / or I have gamegroup.
So Saturdays are a no go for me(work/volunteer).
Sundays after church (so sometimes midday, but always evenings).
Just send me a msg some days before and I will schedule something into my agenda O0.
Hope you all will have lot of fun in this competition, I love to play and not only play for the competitive part but also for fun.
So be prepared >:D

I have just noticed that I have somehow missed off Singing Dwarf!! Very sorry about this. I will add him tonight and correct this posting.
This means that League A will have 7 members.
-
Good luck all! :(y)

This has now been corrected, and Singing Dwarf has been added. He is in the same time zone as myself (see post above).
Good luck everyone!

Sent a PM with instructions.

Well played. That was a good match. I will post the result.

Thank you - I've never played the Count before, so I'm not sure that I used the best strategy - I didn't have one for that expansion! ???
I think I lost on all counts, except for roads :-[
-
I had my first game of the season against a very fine opponent in Singing Dwarf who was beaten as much by not knowing the program as he was by me in the game. The controls for the Crop Circles appeared to have us both confused.
I'm not going to go into any deep analysis, other than to say that this time I was going all out to win league points rather than win the game and it would appear that this task is not going to be that easy.
Well played Singing Dwarf, that was a very good backward and forward game and I had no idea who was going to win what, other than being obvious that you were winning all of the roads!!
I wish you all the best of luck for the rest of the season, especially as you have now had your first game 'on-line'.
-
Well, we have made a start to the League A winter season and the table is attached. Are there any more games planned for this week?
If anyone is having problems with organising matches please contact me. I am always available in the Slack chat room (The Pie Shed).

Anyone up for a game next week? I am a bit sick now and not up for a challenge. You can assume that I am available everyday after 8pm if you just give me one day advance notice.

The league closes on 16th February and not 16th December. Don't panic!! I must have made a typo somewhere, or did you misread my post?
Cheers!

Now that the festivities are out of the way, we can all divert our attentions to getting this competition under way. Is anyone available for a match any time this week?
-
Yes tomorrow evening or Wednesday or Friday would all be good
-

I will wait to see if you get any more offers before I book your services, as I am hoping that we can get everyone playing at roughly the same pace. It is not so interesting if one person has played nearly all of their games and another has not started.
-
Yeah, that's true. I missed some of Singing Dwarfs request a while ago here in the group :(
So please I'm available tomorrow and Wednesday and maybe Friday(friends maybe reserved me for playing) but I can always play after 22 :)

As late as possible (8:30 - 9:00 GMT suits me best) - let me know.
I thought that we had agreed to go out shopping on Saturday to buy your girlfriend a secret birthday present? Is this now called off? >:D

Yes it's fine, maybe I'm 15 minutes late. But I hope that's not a problem for you? I'm trying to get as fast as I can out of the swimming pool
-
Couldn't make the timestamp sadly ;( are you still there Piet?
-
After an aborted game (we got kicked out), Piet_Agoras gave me a thrashing in this, the second match. Well played!
Thanks for the game, and best of luck with the rest of them!
-
Further to the game last night, the league table now looks like this.
Are there any more games arranged? We are lagging behind the other leagues badly now.
-
I should be available 22:00GMT tonight if any takers?

Announcement
I have been in touch with Maj. Frost, and he informs me that, due to other commitments, he will be unable to play his fixtures.
Further to this, I have had a chat with my friend Halfling, and he has kindly agreed to take his place in League 'A' as Halfling2.
Could you therefore please arrange future fixtures with him?
I have not heard from some members of the league for a little while now and need to know if you are still wanting to participate. Please send me a PM asap to indicate that you intend to play and complete your fixtures. This only applies to those of you who have not yet played a league match. I am assuming that all others will carry on to the bitter end, like me.
-
That's very kind of Halfling although I hope he has some schizophrenic skills:
- Do Halfling and Halfling2 choose the same expansion?
- What if Halfling2 promotes in this league and Halfling(1) is eligible for relegation?
- And most of all: if Halfling and Halfling2 are together, do they count as 1 regular tile or as 2...euh...halflings?
I'm a little confused now. ??? I might need some talk with Thodekey2 now. ::)

Wouldn't it be more logical if Maj. Frost wasn't replaced? We were with 7, so with him forfeiting we are still 6, a full division.
-
Not certain that we are 7. I haven’t seen anything of two of our number since December, so we could end up as 5 any way. :-(
-
Very hard battle fought with Sinscerly tonight. I got lucky to be able to block 4 meeples of him inside the city. That enabled me to make full use of my other meeples. Thank you for the this fight of the lowlands :). Really had fun figuring the tactics out.
Piet_Agoras 3.5: Points / Cities / Cloisters / (Fields got split)
Sinscerly 1.5: Roads / (Fields got split)

I should be available 22:00GMT tonight if any takers?
You didn't made it? I'm going to sleep, have to work early :(

I messed up times I think :-X GMT is one behind me, not in front :-\.... Sorry mate
Not really used to different times then CET
-
After 3 games we have an early leader in Piet_Agoras.
I still have not heard from Fingerwiggles or Kraftastic. Can you guys please let me know if you are still wanting to play please?
-
Got my 2 points - still cannot warm to the count. Tried another tactic today, needs refining but the luck of the tiles was not with me today.
-
Anyone around on Friday?
-
The league A table now looks like this. Are there any more games planned in the near future in this league?
I have still heard nothing from Figgerwiggles and Kraftastic yet. Does anyone know if they still intend to compete? If I hear nothing by the weekend, I will have to assume that they have dropped out. :(
-
I should be available on Friday evening for a game
-
Anyone around on Friday?
yes
-
Available for a match this evening if anyone is available.
-
Taking both Cathedral cities was the basis of the 4-1 win, grabbing the big farm a bonus.
-
I'm available as of now for the rest of the day.
-
League table update. Only 3 weeks left to the end of the season guys.
-
has anyone received a message from Fingerwiggles or Kraftastic yet, or do we assume that they are not competing?
-
Tomorrow evening free
-
I should be able to play on Friday evening if Singing Dwarf or Piat_Agoras are available.
-
I'm available tonight, saturday-evening and probably on sunday as well...
-
I am available from 20:00 UK this evening
-
After a restart, a 3-2 win for Piet_Agoras. An if only tile situation for me on 2 counts :(
-
After last night's match the table looks like this.
Still nothing from Fingerwiggles and Kraftastic.
-
I've send a pm to Singing Dwarf. Hopefully i will be able to complete my tournament :)
-
Can anyone host my 9:00pm game with singing dwarf this evening?
-
A 4-1 win for Halfling2 in the long awaited Battle of Middle Earth. Thanks for hosting Steve.
-
With 3 matches left to play before friday, Halfling 2 is the leader. Looks like he might pass himself on the way down from relegation!!
-
A reminder that this tournament finishes at midnight GMT on Friday. Could we please arrange our final games to be completed before then?
-
Had an excellent match tonight against Sinscerly which could have gone either way if the tiles had come out more in his favour. As it was, we both managed to play about 50% of the time with no meeples as we both seemed determined to block as many as possible.
A one sided result in anything but a one-sided game. I almost feel guilty about getting a 4-1 out of this.
Almost, but not quite!!
Thanks for the great game Thomas. I hope that you manage to get your last match organised soon.
-
With only 2 matches to play we have a new leader!! ;D
If Piet_Agoras, Singing Dwarf or Sinscerly need a host for their games, please let me know and it will be arranged.
-
Can't read the table on the phone, I will see how far I have dropped on Friday when I next have an evening in!
-
Another 4-1 loss to me :-[
I used my meeples too soon and played half of the game without the ability to place any!
Well done to @Piet_Agoras though - and thanks for my first game using the Phantom.
Congratulations.
[Edit: Incorrect screenshot removed]
-
Thank you Singing Dwarf for the game. Here is the correct screenshot :)
-
Only 1 day left and 1 match still to play.
Although the top 3 positions are now settled, it would be very nice to have the table completed. Are we going to see the Singing Dwarf v Sinscerly match played today?
I really hope so. :(y)
-
There is an important announcement about the Spring Season here:-
http://www.carcassonnecentral.com/community/index.php?topic=4216.0
I hope that you will all be taking part, especially the newcomers Singing Dwarf and Sinscerly.

I reached out to SInscerly this morning who confirmed he may be able to play this evening, but not been able to get hold of him since :(
Hopefully we can over the weekend, even if we dont make the League.
-
Thanks for letting me know. Your match is a ‘nice to have’ and will give both of you more practice. The table will be left open, for the sake of completeness, until you get your game in. I appreciate that sinscerly has been difficult to contact recently as he has work related issues (exams and such).
More important is that we all get practice in for the ‘championship’ which starts soon.
Let me know if you want a practice match or two!!

Yeah I stated I could play the evening, didn't get any reaction on that in the chat further. So I continued with other work. Weekends are quite full for me.
