Hi Paul,
do we get an update for the "A Journey Into the World Record of a Game of Carcassonne" ?

Hopefully by the end of the day! Going to change the "next chapter dates" that's for sure.

Also, more data and images coming, as requested. I'm still compiling the data. Lastly, happy to announce that the first few orders been sent so if any if you here has sent me a PM to buy tiles/sets, expect contact within a few days.
World record holder for a single game of Carcassonne using 10 007 tiles!

Is the topic at BGG in the right forum?
BoardGameGeek» Forums   » Gaming Related » Press Releases

http://boardgamegeek.com/thread/1516153/carcassonne-2016-world-record-attempt

Perhaps it is better in the forums section for the game Carcassonne?
What are you thinking about my thoughts?

Honestly, bgg.com is a total mess. I am not sure where to put anything. This is one of the most confusing forum I am forced to deal with. There's too much of everything and very little in terms of search options etc.
  I decided to leave that part alone and just be happy I managed to upload images.

The latest BGG News features Paul's world record game (including a photo and video). There are some comments about it in the comments section too that Paul might want to answer if he has time (e.g. about calculating farms, and about filling in holes in the landscape).

I'll see if I can get time tonight when I get home.

EDIT: a link to it would be appreciated. :)

I missed the link, even during quote reply. :D Sorry about that.

But, I've now posted a reply with the basic info that should cover most of it.
