I've not yet had contact with MrNumbers. I'm ready any time for a game.
I'm never one to turn down a game of Carcassonne but I think the lack of any meaningful carrot (or stick) means that these things always seem doomed to failure after the initial influx of excitement has worn off. We saw it here and it was the same with The Steve's excellent series of expansion leagues. I guess the situation is slightly different now in that most people have time to play their games, but that won't always be the case and it's never any less of a shame for the people who are participating when those who aren't force it to a halt.It's also worth remembering that from what I can tell, very few currently active members of Carcassonne Central seem interested in playing Carcassonne online. Certainly compared to say 3 or 4 years ago when there was a constant buzz from various competitions that were going on here. I miss those days. If either of you, or anyone else, is interested in kicking off a new tournament then I'm sure I'd be very happy to support and take part in it. But until that happens, I'm probably just going to keep myself busy at BGA which has a far more sophisticated approach to online competition as this is effectively what it's built for.
