Title: 2015 World Cup - Group D
Post by: danisthirty on September 01, 2015, 03:58:04 AM
Welcome to the group stage of the 2015 World Cup of Carcassonne Central! This thread is primarily for members of Group D to arrange matches between themselves and post scores, screenshots and the obligatory smack-talk as the group progresses. The top 2 players from this group once everyone in the group has played all 4 of their matches will advance through to the knockout stage.

Here is a list of the group members (including location):

If you haven’t read them already, please ensure that you are familiar with the tournament rules/ general information (http://www.carcassonnecentral.com/community/index.php?topic=2012.msg27708#msg27708) (you should also receive this via email). You may also find the JCloisterZone FAQ (http://www.carcassonnecentral.com/community/index.php?topic=778) interesting/ useful if you have any unanswered questions about how JCloisterZone works (or you can just email me).

Good luck, and have fun!

Due to an apparent "bug" with the way River 1 is implemented within JCloisterZone, please avoid using this expansion in your game. At this stage of the competition we will now be using Inns & Cathedrals and King & Robber Baron only.

What bug?  I have been playing with River1 in 3.3.1, and have not seen anything misbehave.

There is no bug, it was a 'bug'. 

If playerA places the penultimate river tile; then before playerB's turn, the last river tile is played automatically; then playerB get's a tile to play. 
This was interpreted as a 'extra bonus turn'.  The River Rules are not overly explicit about this, only stating the last tile should be put to the side and placed when no more river tiles remain.

I can host games - at least I think I can.  I was able to before, but I have since upgrade to Windows 10, and have not had a chance to test the setup.  Plays fine on our internal network, but I look forward to hosting a game to verify that it works well for those not sitting beside me.

I leave the game running when I am not here.  Please let me know if you play a game via email, so I can reset the game.

Was a good game; i had a terrible start and the strong placements took the middle game, it all looked like a clear victory before that pesky ffrc tile took 24 points; after that it was pretty hit or miss....it was a miss.

Merit to Decar for playing a game that looks like Slimer from Ghost Busters with his arms out (if you rotate it 90 degrees anti-clockwise)...

zone2 has played his last game against Safari.
zone2 has won the game. Safari forgot to make a screenshot of this game.
Hopefully zone2 has saved a screenshot,
I don't know the score - it could be something like this:
zone2 240 - Safari 150

MrsNumbers, rfielder and zone2 have finished all their games.
zone2 is the 1st in group D - he has 8 group points and a positive score difference 315.

Now Safari needs +156 score difference in game with Decar in order to qualify knock-out. Otherwise, MrsNumbers will qualify :D

156 points would tie it, in which case MrsNumbers would still go through as it would be determined by the second tie-breaker (total points scored).

Safari must win by 157 points in order to qualify...

I doubt that Safari (in fact, anyone) can win 156:0. Also I doubt that Decar will score only 18 points. Player's minimum score could be at the level of 40-50 points. Taking that into account, Safari must win with 196-206 points (in case Decar will score only 40-50 points). That way he will beat MrsNumbers's total scored points value, so he will need only 156 points difference.

OK. But that's based on a lot of assumptions.

OK. But that's based on a lot of assumptions.

True, but you would agree that on assumptions with very high possibility, near 99,99% :) It's nearly impossible in a Carcassonne game (besides, with 2 expansions!) to score only 18 points with all your 8 meeples, if only you never deploy ones.

I've never seen anyone win a relatively small game by over 150 points either, so whatever has to happen, it's going to be unlikely.

Hi guys!

Thanks for the bunch of Mathematics! Doesn't seem very good, but who cares.  :P  O0

So far, Decar and I couldn't arrange a JCZ appointment, but we work on it. :D

Decar just played with Safari - close game, Decar was lucky to complete the mega city and took valuable points away from Safari with farmers.

I was typing to safari but didnt notice my cursor was elsewhere :D

Perhaps I should forfeit the game? And award safari 150 points due to my silly error?

Am I right in saying that MrsNumbers qualified for the knock-out stage but MrNumbers did not? There might be some tension in that household at the moment :)
