Spiel 2015 tile giveaway
« on: December 09, 2015, 09:44:24 AM »
I have a Spiel '15 tile to give away. For fun, let's hold a little competition.

This Saturday I am participating in a Carcassonne tournament. If you want to win the tile, predict which of the six outcomes below you think will be my final result. Only one person can claim each result. Once my result is known, the person who claimed that result will get the tile.

Edit: the six outcomes I suggested have all been claimed, but if you want to invent and claim an alternative outcome as Decar has below, go ahead!

Here are the possible outcomes:

Win the tournament - whaleyland
Lose in the final - Paul
Lose in the semifinals - danisthirty
Lose in the quarterfinals - Guy
Fail to make the quarterfinals, but still win a game in the first stage (out of 3 games) - Andrew the Ambo
Fail to make the quarterfinals and fail to win a game in the first stage (out of 3 games) - wamboyil

There's some form of un/natural disaster that means the tournament is cancelled - Decar
Jungleboy doesn't show up for the tournament - MrNumbers

I have some faith in you.
I will go for option 5. Fail to make the quarterfinals, but will win a game in the first stage (out of 3 games).

Lose in the finals. More of having less options than not having faith in you.  8)

It is not a case of us being pessimistic about your chances. It is about giving us a win-win situation. If you win, we are happy you have represented us well. If you do not win, we are happy we have won the tile 8-).

Good luck, and do us proud.

If I win this tile, I will sign it and send it to Dan. Fitting since I already have one mounted in a frame signed by KJW.

I will return the complement.

Please don't do that! Although the old and new art styles most definitely ARE compatible (::)) this would require me to present the final landscape with all the tiles face down...

Could I enter as one other outcome?

There's some form of un/natural disaster that means the tournament is cancelled?

Sure, why not? I've updated the original post.

Do you mean specifically in the event of an un/natural disaster? Or does this include if JB loses every game and so goes on a wildly violent rampage?
