Game finally finished!

Sorry about the final moments not showing on the live stream. :(

We got a bit too excited in the moment.
World record holder for a single game of Carcassonne using 10 007 tiles!

I would like to thank everyone for all your support here on the forum!

I'm so sorry the very last moments were not caught on camera. We were so tired and excited at the same time things got a bit out of hand. Especially the surprise and support by random people dropping in!
  A professional photographer showed up for the photoshoot and there may be a slight chance that the national television sends a TV-team tomorrow (Sunday).

Although I should take a break, I need to start working on the score. x_x Hopefully I'll have the result, and some other statistics about the game tomorrow.

It has been an incredible journey with so much positive surprises. And of course, we did have few moments today where we started arguing, getting on each other nerves. :D

I like to know some statistics
examples:
- how many tiles in one row of the small side of the "big game" and how many tiles on the large side of the "big game"
- how many tables were finally used?
- how many hours did you play?
- how many pieces of paper for score did you use ?
----------------------------
But for now - Paul get some sleep.  C:-)

Sounds like a reasonable request. :)

We used a total of 48 tables. 20 tiles or so outside of this, but there is about as much "holes" on the edges so it evens out.
  But, we did manages to fill in everything from the middle to 3 of the edges! (Much thanks to duplicate expansions and their crazy tile combinations.) :)
