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?

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 that the name I was looking for here belongs to... jungleboy!Winning response time was: 55s (<--- ridiculous )I think that constitutes a form of stalking by Decar of said jungleboy.

Technically it's Piet_Agoras you should be watching out for as he's the one who answered this question first

Q9:As much as we all love playing Carcassonne, there's always plenty of room for discussion about other games too. In fact, one particular forum member posted several detailed reviews of various games this year, including Imhotep, MintWorks, Isle of Skye and the Spiel des Jahres award winning Kingdomino. Who was this?
Q10: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?
A quick glance here or here would have revealed that nobody loves IKEA more than... Decar!

Q12:Sadly, a rather serious-looking computer error caused the loss of our latest Elo ratings update in October. But which forum member had to call technical support to get their laptop fixed?
Q13: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. So today's question is; which forum member was careless enough as to let their fairy escape?
Winning response time was: 37s (<--- even more ridiculous)
