Most of the scripts I have is merely for the random aspects.

Anything else is by manual labour, which is partially the reason I started this. The games will have a chance of human error, though it's nothing that can't be fixed later.
By not showing the options you have for example all the places you can place your tile, it will be like a real game, you can misplace a tile that could've score you a lot more elsewhere.

Now, I do have some ideas how to solve the follower placement but all of them seems too complicated. Even when encoding in javascript I stumbled across this as each tile is different.

The rrrr tile mentioned could be like "farm NW" "road S" etc when a player wants to place a follower.

Looks good on my screen for the first time (Safari on MacOS X 10.9.3).

Update 4:

Although this still is a lot of fun, it does start to feel pointless in regards of only playing by myself.
Instead, working to remove all followers and expand the board itself now and then to see how large I can get it.

If you guys are still interested in trying an E-mail based Carcassonne game, I'm still happy to try this out.

Rundown of the idea:
1. I will create an E-mail you can mail your 'move' to and from where I will mail you your 'tile' drawn.
2. When I receive your move I will upload it to the online board which anyone can see and thus follow the game between the two CC members.

I'd be very happy to give you a match! I will PM you with my email address...

Would the game include expansions? I'm very happy to use whatever you like but I'm aware that a game played over email may take quite a long time to complete if there are too many tiles to go through!

For now it would only be the base game with River I and II. These are the only tiles I've edited and uploaded. Next would be Traders and Builders when I get a chance.

It would be great to test this E-mail game indeed! I'll message you back with the E-mail I will make later today when I get home.

A little update, this project is on hold for lack of time. However, I have something else in mind with this which will involve more people. We'll just have to wait and see.
