A clue is that this picture was very recently shown in another thread.

Thanks guys, much appreciated. Saw lots of posts about owls but nothing with this impressive collection in. Cheers, Rich.

I'd been wanting to include a photo question for a while and this seemed like a good one as it wasn't too obscure and was also relatively recent. Well done with the clues guys!

Time to move on with our next double-trouble Monday...

Q21:
In this year's (incomplete) forum photo games, which two players both placed a barn?

If you think you know who this was, please PM me with the answer - don't answer here!

Good luck! :(y)

Not long to go now before the big day. But it's not too late to get involved in the quiz if you still want to; this ship hasn't sailed yet and won't be for another two and a half days...

If you think you know the answer for any particular day (current or past), send me a PM with the question number and your answer, but please don’t post it on the thread as this could spoil the quiz for anyone else who either hasn’t seen the question yet or may still be trying to work it out.

The quiz is open to all, so if you think you know the answer to any or all of the 22 questions posed so far (including this one) then get stuck in and send me your PMs! :D

Q22:
It may have taken a year or so to complete, but our "Element of the Week" series was definitely worth it purely for the amount of discussion it generated over the relative merits of every single one of Carcassonne's optional expansion elements. But which forum member was responsible for tirelessly running this great series for 52 weeks?

If you think you know who this was, please PM me with the answer - don't answer here!

Good luck! :(y)

Q23:
There is at least one very obvious clue which would give this forum member away instantly. So in order to retain a small element of difficulty, all I'm going to say about this forum member is that they were responsible for two extraordinary card games: "Screw Yew!" and "Strew Ewes".

If you think you know who this was, please PM me with the answer - don't answer here!

Good luck! :(y)

Glad you're enjoying it! :) My plan is to go through all the answers/ points in detail on the 29th (as I'll be back at work and won't have a lot of company)...

And so, as with all advent calendars, it's with a certain degree of sadness that I'm posting this final quiz question. :( But excitement too as it will be Christmas tomorrow! ;D

Thanks to everyone who has taken part in the quiz, and especially those who have attacked it head-on by checking-in every day and leaving no question unanswered (so far). I hope it has served as a fun way of remembering some of the things that have taken place on CarcC over the past year and a bit, and has given you all the more to look forward to in 2016.

But, without further ado, here is the final question. Enjoy!

Q24:
The final forum member to be included in our advent quiz is someone who likes sending "surprisings" to Carcassonne Central members, drawing meeples, drawing Christmas trees out of meeples, playing Carcassonne Mastermind, seeking official rules clarifications from HiG, proof-reading rules for upcoming Carcassonne expansions and spin-offs, sharing news of Carcassonne events and... cats. Even a child knows this!

If you think you know who this was, please PM me with the answer - don't answer here!

Good luck! :(y)

Correct answers and points awarded will be discussed on a question by question basis from Tuesday 29th December. So stay tuned to find out who our overall quiz winner will be. 8)

Merry Christmas folks!
Dan
