Curt194 - how about Tuesday? 7:30?

I've had to rearrange my game with Jéré until tomorrow now but I can do Wednesday at a similar time

Can't do Wednesday - how about Friday?

I should be free tonight from about 7:30 if anyone else is free.

Someone has been in touch with JT Atomico? or know how to reach him?

I thought you were playing Curt tonight - if not I'll see you at 8pm GMT (9pm CET)

Jéré 156 - Curt 114

Curt played very well and game was pretty even until the last quarter where I took control of the fields while Curt had unlucky draws. We were fighting for a big incomplete city: we both got a princess tile but I got mine first and his no longer fitted after I placed mine... That was lucky!

Jéré 172 - Decar 147

Bizarre game.... Fun though! Crazy fight for a huge city... It became unoccupied then claimed back several times. Finally, I got a tile to close and score it... The thing is that it was a princess tile that Decar could have used to remove my knight so I got definitely lucky there. I'd say that Decar clearly dominated the second half of the game but while he was scoring features I positioned my farmers and that was it... Decar played amazingly, better than me. That enormous city allowed me to steal the win.

It was quite a game, most of the Dragon and portal tiles came out early as did the princess tiles. This made is next to impossible for me to count anything. I'm not sure I played better, but I completed quite a few features while Jéré was busy. After losing that ~45 point city (because, as it turned out, I misplaced a volcano), I didn't think there was much hope, it was closer than I thought it was going to be. I didn't really appreciate how much the farms were worth and they all start to add up. There were some very good chances to make one big farm, but I left it late to create opportunities. If I'd played in the bottom left a turn sooner, it may have been different, there were plenty of chances to join the farms together. And even if I did I'm sure Jéré would have been able to block at just the right moment.

Good luck in your last game Jéré

JT Atomico 141 - Jéré 132

Sorry I've not been playing so far everyone, I have had a busy week and haven't been on the forum much! The busyness included a game of Mega Carcassonne on Sunday which I hope to post about later tonight

Jéré and I just played our game and I managed to eke out a close victory thanks to some lucky tiles. There were two cities (the complete one with the start tile and the big incomplete one in the bottom left) that we fought for with dragons and princesses and I fortunately got the tiles to win them both.

We played on the iPad version, here is the final board:

Well done JT !! Indeed, I ran out of luck... but you also played like a pro!

We had big fights for cities, using many princess tiles back and forth... The dragon too but I didn't have the last word, so JT scored an enormous amount of points just with cities. Winning the main field was not enough. Congrats!

Played all my games now (if you're wondering why so fast, well, I'm usually fast... But it's mostly because I'll be unavailable for almost the entire month of February). Because I lost my last game, I think the door is wide open for someone from the group to win all his/her remaining games and steal the first place!! My PD is not so impressive (as usual!) so it definitely possible...

Some more screenshots of the game:

The main farm

JT's big incomplete city (4 princesses in it!)

We fought hard for this one, but JT got it! (claimed it with a portal)

Last tile of the game, played by JT to close his city...snif

Congrats JT Atomico. That's quite an impressive way to launch yourself into your first online tournament!

My only other comment would be to say how glad I am that we're playing in January. Otherwise, there's definitely potential for at least one Christmas to have been ruined by this result...

I played 3 games this evening.

Actually the first was a short one as our game with rfielder was broken last Sunday due to internet connection problems, and now we had to play only the final 8 tiles.
As you know, there are problems with fairy scoring in reloaded games, so I wrote up the extra 3 points for myself: if I'm not mistaken there were 3 occasions where I did not receive the usual 3 extra points for the fairy. I'm not sure but I think rfielder had no such situation.
The original score calculated by JCloisterZone was:
