Yes. In fact this should happen by default now that you've posted on here (and probably already is?)
You first have to click on the NOTIFY button, right?
Don't do it! Have you seen how many posts Dan makes? your email thingy would be pinging more than a very pingy thingy on a pingy thingy day.

Thanks for taking all this time an expending all this energy in finding some of the most difficult questions we've had to date. And also making sure you poated every day. It's been a great opportunity to reflect on the year's activites and also catch up on some missed ones!
Merit from me!

Q1:
MrNumbers was busy again in July, with his Carcassonne Central Online Quiz. There were a total of six contestants with final scores ranging from 18 to 24 out of 30. But who took first place overall and was able to add a copy of Japanese Monasteries to their collection as a reward?

Q2:
Thodekey started a wonderful debate about tile counting in January, and most of us admitted that we will at least try to count tiles during games to give an idea of what's left in the bag. But someone was so surprised and disgusted by us all that they felt compelled to start the "Clean Carcassonne" campaign and offered personalised invisible halos to the first 100 people to sign up. Who was this?

For the third year in a row, Decar planned, organised and ran our GenCan't SoloCon competitions in August for those of us who couldn't make it to Gencon. The "Abbots Walk" competition was won with an impressive score of 1137, but which forum member managed this particularly impressive feat?

Q6:
Our 2017 basegame league ran from January to September. This was settled over a total of 210 games of Carcassonne played between 15 of us, with 39,011 points being scored in the process! Two competitors found themselves in potentially winning positions at the start of the final round, but who was it that put Merlin_89 on the receiving end of his only 2 - 0 loss, thus allowing Jéré a chance to snatch the top spot away from him?

Q7:
In January I proposed the idea of the "10 x 10 challenge" specifically for Carcassonne. This is something I borrowed from BoardGameGeek, but with a twist that involved playing 10 specific expansions on at least 10 occasions each throughout the year. Unfortunately I fell behind after a month or so as I struggled to motivate myself to keep track of all the games I'd played and soon dropped the idea, but not before I'd completed a game against one other CarcC regular via JCloisterZone. Who was this?

It's a shame I didn't stay up to date with this, but combined with the basegame league (and the rest of my life) I just had too much going on at the time :( Anyway, it can be seen from this post (http://www.carcassonnecentral.com/community/index.php?topic=3078.msg46442#msg46442) that the name I was looking for here belongs to... jungleboy!

Q8:
In June, the announcement of a special, limited edition expansion - "The Market of Leipzig" - left those of us without plans to visit either the Leipzig or Essen game fairs feeling somewhat disappointed, then relieved when it became available on Cundco soon afterwards! But according to their post-Essen report, one forum member spent the first three and a half hours of their annual Essen pilgrimage repeatedly queueing up to get hold of as many boxed copies of this expansion as possible. Who was this?

Q9:
As much as we all love playing Carcassonne, there's always plenty of room for discussion about other games too.

This grade four/ five class teacher posted in June to tell us about how they were sharing their passion for Carcassonne with their class. I was particularly impressed that this involved watching a "How to play Carcassonne" video at the start of the school year, and playing boardgames every Friday! However, the best part of the post was that one of the boys in the class was given a Carcassonne set for his birthday as a result of this! Who shared this news with us?

Q11:
Despite our mutual love and appreciation of many boardgames (especially Carcassonne of course), it became apparent in February that some of us have somewhat differing opinions over a certain Swedish furniture/ homeware giant. Few people sat on the fence in this fierce debate and it was lovers vs. haters to the bitter end! One member stood out from the rest of the fans in terms of his commitment though, by admitting to owning a special soundtrack CD that is played in the car during journeys to this particular store. Who could possibly do something like this?

After much searching of sofas, an unlucky forum member discovered in February that they were missing a fairy! :( Fortunately however, another forum member with a spare fairy was on hand to offer a replacement and an agreement was made (presumably) via private message.

Q14:
Jungleboy brought shame to Carcassonne Central in May when he started a new topic as somewhere to share what games are on our "Shelves of Shame". Some of us admitted to owning far more unplayed games than others, and some of us were too embarrassed to admit how many unplayed games they own... :-[ Carcassonne: The City seems to have brought the most shame overall (which is a shame in itself :'(), but who received a card-based version of Monopoly (this particular version being something that will always have a special place in my heart :-*) as a birthday present and is yet to play it (or was at the the time they posted anyway)?

Q16:
In June I gave away a number of tiles that had been signed by Klaus-Jürgen Wrede. :(y) I only had 8 to give away which meant they were snapped up very quickly and were soon on their way to their new owners. These tiles came from a variety of expansions including the Festival, Princess & Dragon (a magic portal! 8)) and even a corner of the city of Carcassonne. But which forum member claimed the lake tile from the River expansion?

Q17:
2017 was an especially busy year for postmen and postwomen around the world, especially for the ones delivering to those of us with rapidly growing Carcassonne collections! In one case, an order placed in March and including the 10th large expansion and Halflings (and perhaps also a keyboard and a mouse) took just 4 days to reach the UK. Whose postman went the extra mile (or 500!) to get this parcel to its happy owner so quickly? C:-) :(y)

Q18:
Decar ran a series of polls this year, with the end goal being to discover which non-Carcassonne games are universally enjoyed by Carcassonne fans. It wasn't easy, and with the initial list of nominations totalling 166 well-liked games, those of us who voted in the subsequent polls faced some very tough decisions! The eventual winner was 7 Wonders, followed by Ticket to Ride, Settlers of Catan and Pandemic. But which forum member nominated "The Game of 49" onto the initial list of games to be included?

Q19:
Back in May, a member of the community posted about their plans to play a game of Carcassonne including various editions of the basegame, 13 major expansions and 150 fan-made expansions (no cats were allowed). And after 31 days they were forced to stop as there was no space left to carry on! Who was this?

Q20:
Perhaps understandably, cats were not allowed anywhere near the game of Carcassonne (Catcassonne ;)) I asked about yesterday. But in some parts of the world, certain forums members go to incredible lengths for their cats! One forum member in particular posted back in January about a certain cat tower that had been under construction for 4 years! Which forum member was responsible for this fantastic achievement for their beloved pets?

Q21:
For those of us with *ALL* the Carcassonne but who still have a certain compulsion for buying boardgames, the KickStarter thread is always useful in terms of helping people to find new things on which to spend their money. But it's not just boardgames that get posted about here, as one member in particular was gracious enough to share their recommendation for the boardgaming bowl that everyone must have (bought from a certain Swedish furnitue/ homeware giant that was mentioned in a previous question). Who was this?

I was 100% sure I was the first! I just refreshed the page, saw the question and immediately answered. So, it looks like someone was faster than me :oQ20:
Winning response time was: 39s :o :o :o (<--- haven't you people got anything better to do with your time? ;))

If you think there was foul-play, it's important you say so, so evidence can be collected and investigated.
Decar, I think you have misunderstood. I don't think he meant anything like that at all. Just a little envious of your talent!This.
Q22:
2017 wasn't a particularly busy year for most of us in terms of sharing details of what else we like to do in our free time, but a few people provided some insight. One of our number not only described what an "abhanga" is (for those of us who had been wondering), but also provided us with a sample of their poetry which included a liturgical prayer inspired by Donald Trump ::). Who was this?

Q23:
Every now and then, our Carcassonne-related discussions can occasionally wander off-track into somewhat unexpected territory. Fortunately however, MrNumbers is determined to keep things Carcassonne, and is always on hand to swoop in and split unrelated posts off into seperate threads when we least expect it! C:-) The resulting spin-off threads can seem a little random, but I always enjoy reading the hilarious topic names that they've been given! :)) One such thread started off as a discussion around the GQ#11 expansion and how it can be used to kill birds, with jungleboy cruelly suggesting that carrots should be sacrificed instead. :'( But who was it that shared a self-defence against fresh fruit video on the same thread?

Q24:
I've really enjoyed reading about everyone's different Christmas traditions and festive shenanigans this year, and was especially impressed by some of the Carcassonne-themed tree decorations! With this in mind, who likes to invade German Cathedrals with their little metal meeples?
