Or maybe I should just shut up and land on Paul's road with inn using the flier!

Argh! Something went wrong! The game is a bit messed up. The tile where my large farmer is located is not correctly positioned: Road should be heading south. Please pay attention!

Apologies if I've messed anything up again, and thanks for pointing it out. You should count yourself lucky; I made two mistakes on the Blue game! And after such a long delay while I tried to sort everything out as well...

In truth, I have quite a lot on at the moment (as do all of us I'm sure). It's nothing out of the ordinary, just work and family stuff really, but everything I do at CarcC all adds to it and I have a lot on here too. I love it all (obviously), but too many late nights and early mornings are certainly taking their toll and I'm making mistakes in other areas too (see Order of the Meeple where I missed off some achievements for three people and Last Meeple Standing where I arranged a game with jma03 that shouldn't have happened).

I think it's probably going to be better for the consistency of the game if I stick to drawing tiles, rolling dice and nothing else other than communicating these draws and rolls back to you guys. This is kind of how I'd hoped it would be from the start anyway as most of the fun comes from setting up and posting the photos of each move and I want everyone else to be able to enjoy that side of things too. Plus I'm already sick of the sight of my own tablecloth, tea-towel and living-room rug...

)

With this in mind, I will re-draw another tile for you Jéré once Paul has taken his last move again. This will prevent any unfair knowledge of tiles to come from influencing his decision! Paul, I will also re-roll for you if you choose to use a flying machine with your second attempt. Apologies again for any confusion I've caused. $:-\$

Paul · « **Reply #62 on:** July 23, 2015, 01:13:21 AM »

Here is the correct board. I placed my tile on the same spot and flew to join in on the city using the number 2 roll. This would probably have been my move anyway.

Question: Do we decide which meeple to use before you roll the flier dice? Is this not the official rule still?

Jéré · « **Reply #64 on:** July 23, 2015, 01:19:12 AM »

Well, the tile was correctly placed when you drew Paul's tile... So I'm not blaming you. I think players should be responsible for checking (and double-checking!) that everything is placed correctly, not you Dan!

But it was my fault.

I placed the tile with the big follower wrong. Up until my turn, the tile was correctly placed and I had placed that tile wrong prior to my move hence did not see it until someone else spotted it.

Yes, the follower is deployed on the flier symbol then the die is rolled. So you choose which one you use beforehand.

Now Paul has re-positioned the Tile - the dice must be re-rolled. Otherwise you've could have put that tile anywhere you liked in order to fly to an appropriate tile.

danisthirty · « **Reply #68 on:** July 23, 2015, 02:57:04 AM »

Just to be clear, I have “re-rolled” (https://www.random.org/) for Paul’s flyer and it was a 2 again; hence that he was able to land on Decar’s little city. I did say that I would re-roll for Paul in my message, but when it was a 2 again I just let him carry on rather than confusing things further.

So, it’s now over to Jéré who has a ccff to place (single city, no pennant)...

This is a lot of effort for one game!! Good luck all

Decar · « **Reply #70 on:** July 23, 2015, 03:23:05 AM »

OK, I could do with a sensible close up and clear indicator of what type of meeple is where.

Paul, I think that was a normal follower you put on the flyer - is that right?

Paul · « **Reply #71 on:** July 23, 2015, 03:27:09 AM »

That was a normal follower yes.

From now on, I will always state which follower is placed like many of you have done so far. Last thing I need is to add confusion!

Decar · « **Reply #72 on:** July 23, 2015, 03:31:12 AM »

goodo!

..because that table cloth isn't confusing in the slightest!

I usually have that green mat used for miniature battle gaming but it's currently occupied by a heap of LEGO bags. I got until Midnight today to clean up the apartment before family comes home from vacation. Gotta love a slow day at work when need one!
