If you consider 0pts to be a good result for this round then I'm really not sure what to expect for myself... :o

Little challenge for you. Try to get a lowest PD against Merlin_89 than I had. A little nerve-racking but fun.  :)

Second Game:

GLH510 (Home  :green-meeple:) vs Hounk (  :black1-meeple:) 99 : 87

After the devastating first game I tried my best. With some luck at the end I even could live without the main farm.
2 Fast and Fun Games, Thank you Hounk

PS: Oh i see my Screenshot file is corrupt @Hounk May you have a Screen from the last game?

Tonight I played a 4 game marathon. 3 games with What If? and a friendly against Danisthirty, so forgive me if my report is brief.

Base base game matches were very close and could have gone either way. The second match was interrupted by my broadband going down and What If? and I spent about 20 minutes trying to continue the game where we left it. Somehow we (nearly) managed to do it unscathed, with just me losing a meeple that I did not want to place with ten tiles to go. I happened to be my last but, as luck would have it, I recovered one with the next tile, so all was well.

I'm afraid that I can do an intelligent match report on tactics after 4 consecutive games, so here are the results of the Scottish jury.

What If?  :blue-meeple: 113 v TheSteveAllen  :green-meeple: 97

TheSteveAllen  :green-meeple: 102 v What If?  :blue-meeple: 94

I'm sure that What If? might like to add some commentary, but I am too tired to pontificate any further.

Thanks for all 3 games What If? I wish you all the best of luck in the last two rounds. Thanks, again. for the games and your patience with the broadband problem.

Steve, do you remember in which order games were played. Minis first, then Basegame or the other way around? I need to enter all games in chronological order...  ::) Thanks!

Hi Jere! Dan just informed me that you needed some info. The order was, basegame first (I lost the first game, won the second), followed by the minis league match. Hope that this is what you needed.  :(y)

hi there,
here are some more results of round 13. I played against Halfling tonight and secured my first(?) 2-0 in this league.

1st game Adror 133 - 101 Halfling
2nd game Halfling 83 - 97 Adror

We played very fast, maybe too fast by Halfling in the second game, but I can totally relate to it because lot of tiles came in my favour, so anything he did turned out to be not successful by the very next tile.

Good luck Halfling for the last games in this base game league!

Rich_the_fish - we need to play but I am on holiday.  A friend here has internet but I would need a specific time to use it.  Today or tomorrow, during the day?

Game 1: Leven  :violet-meeple: 72 :  78 :red-meeple: khalidqasrawi
Game 2: khalidqasrawi 100 : 86  :violet-meeple: Leven


So I promised to write up this game and now that 4 days have passed, I'm afraid that the write up is not going to be timely enough for me to accurately reflect my feelings as I was making the moves.  Too bad and sorry to you Leven for not giving you my thoughts earlier.  This is the best commentary I can provide at the moment.
 
Game 1:  I don't remember much.  I don't know why Leven added that farmer on the RFFF cloister at the top.  I know I was trapped early on.  Looking at the final position, it's interesting to note that there is only one wasted meeple (Leven had one in his hand).  I do remember waiting all game for a CFRR to finish my cloister and city but it never came.  I do remember Leven started really conservatively and I was quite aggressive in terms of placing meeples and that I think his careful set of entrapments should have gained him a victory. 

Game 2: We swapped strategies for this game.  Leven was being much more aggressive and quite early tried to glom onto the road at the bottom and spend the entire game waiting for a RRFF which never came (I drew at least 4 more).  I think at about 20 tiles to go I started throwing men onto the farm.  Leven got equal but needed the win.

Thanks for the games.

Hi Rosco. Just seen msg. Glad you might be able to play before you get back next week, but unfortunately I can't do during the day during the week as I'll be at work. Are you available in the evening at all?
Cheers, Rich.

Thanks for the games.
Thanks to you, too, for these two enjoyable games. I felt that I was a bit unlucky, particularly in the second game where you drew the last 5 RRFF tiles while I desperately needed one of them to free my thiefs and gain extra 7 points (+1 for me, -6 for you). Then when you needed an RRFF to join your farmer in the NW to the main farm, you drew it right at your next turn. Still, at the final turn I could have won the main farm (and the game) if I had drawn the last RRFF but it went to you as well. But actually that could not happen otherwise as I had the curse of the Elo leaders on me.  >:D

@Jéré: note that we played these games last Friday, so prior to khalidqasrawi's recent game in the Minis league.

I completely agree with you on your bad luck and my good luck.  I guess, I already "knew" that it was my day to get RRFFs so I capitalised on that.  Funny how in most games, you would groan if you picked up so many roads.  Thanks for pointing out the order that I played the games in.  I guess it matters for ELO.

Merlin and I played this evening. I don't have screenshots to hand but the end result was a tie with one game each.

The first game was started by Merlin and I won it by 5 points (I think). The second game was.started by me and won by Merlin by 9 points.

More details tomorrow.

I guess, my game against Dan deserves more expanded summary...

83  :yellow-meeple: Merlin_89 (Home) - Dan :blue-meeple: 88
89 :blue-meeple: Dan (Home) - Merlin_89 :yellow-meeple: 98

Both games looked very similar. We played head to head, chances were there... for both of us, but I felt like I couldn't find my footing.

First game, I blocked quite easily one of Dan's thieves, it was nice sign, but Dan managed well without it. In the end, Dan took control over biggest farm, I didn't find way to join, he won.

Second game, it didn't looked well for me... I wanted to block Dan at the beginning, but this time he escaped quite handily with payoff. I thought it's Dan's game to win. I had meeples locked in cloisters, and Dan once again was in control of farms... I fought but I lost big farm again (4:3)... Ending was a surprise for me, I completed cloisters, I claimed small farm, and strangely enough it gave me victory.

Thanks for the match, it gave me lots of thrills alongside big relief at the end.   :(y)

Sorry for the delay folks. Rosco and I managed to play our games tonight - hopefully better late than never. Forgive me for not doing a write up tonight, but it's been a long day and I'm tired - I'll try and do a brief report tomorrow night if I can. So for the time-being, here are the scores...

Game 1
Rosco  :red-meeple:  112 (start player)
Rich_The_Fish  :black1-meeple: 130


Game 2
Rich_The_Fish  :black1-meeple: 107 (start player)
Rosco  :red-meeple:  95

Thanks for the games Rosco.

Not quite. MrNumbets vs. Chooselife still needs to happen. And since we've all come do far on this journey together I didn't want to forfeit any games if there's a chance they will still be played (which there is innthis case)...

May we could start the next round in parallel? I'm on vacation first 2 weeks of october, so i want to finish at least my games before.

No - I think that since it has all gone to potatoes then the league table should be reversed, therefore making me the winner

It would be my best chance for a long time to finish ahead of Jere if we do reverse the order. Good idea! I'll consider it...

In the mean time, I agree with glh510 and should have posted the Round 14 fixtures before I came on holiday. I'll be back on Friday though so look out for them at some point this weekend...
