Decar's next tile...

Decar · « **Reply #136 on:** August 05, 2015, 02:14:10 PM »

Thanks again Dan (+1 for continually pulling tiles). I'm blatantly going to have AP over these....be warned.

Too much AP kills brain cells... Be warned

This isn't something I suffer from too much, but my brain has been running in Safe Mode for years...

Some (totally random) stats after 7 turns

)

Average time elapsed between the moment Dan reveals a tile and players posting their turn:

Decar: 33.6 hours

Paul: 2.4 hours

Jéré: 2.9 hours

I'm glad you've put that extra time I've found for you to good use.

Sorry, I obviously didn't understand. I thought a premise of a playing-by-forum was that it would be played over an extended period of time; to fully consider out moves; and that there was no rush to be finished.

Besides, all of the expansions we're playing are in JCloisterZone. If we wanted it to be over faster; we're all in relatively close time-zones, I'm sure we can meet up one evening and just play the game. That way we don't have to put Dan through the effort of managing the game for us.

Again, I apologize for any inconvenience caused by delaying any games, stopping you from using your tiles for games with other people; while your tiles are laid out across your desk/floor or usual food preparation surface.

I'm not really motivated by friendly reminders.

I concede.

If you're calculations are correct I think you'll easily have the game completed by next Sunday; then you'll have time for other things. I'm sure Dan will happily set an alarm to post a new tile every 3 hours to make sure this happens.

I'm sorry to have held you up.

So what happens now? Decar has left the game.

~~I am afraid I must follow Decar's lead. I am currently looking at a huge pile of tiles and~~ - I did not write this. Paul

Hi all.

Based on recent feedback, it appears that there’s no longer sufficient support to continue with the game. This seems like a shame, but these things happen so it’s better to quit while we’re ~~ahead~~ less behind than we’ll probably end up. Apologies to anyone who feels let down by this but there isn’t really any fair or reasonable way of continuing either game as I see it...

At present I do not know who is in and who is out. Other than that Decar, I believe, is out.

Paul/ Jéré: I would be grateful if you could both post below to confirm whether you wish to continue with the game? I will try to find a replacement player for Decar if you wish to continue...

Paul · « **Reply #144 on:** August 10, 2015, 05:58:49 AM »

I wish to continue.

MrNumbers edited my earlier post. Maybe copied it something went haywire.

My apologies

I transfered this post from Blue game's thread, but somehow $:-\$

I was thinking it was Paul's message, so I just merged them in right thread. Now I see my mistake. Please, restore Rosco's post (as it seems I don't have enough rights to do so).

Hello all.

As you may have noticed, this game has ground to a bit of a halt as one of the participants has dropped out. However, since the other two players wish to continue, and I’d like it to continue too, Black’s space in this game is being made available to anyone who wishes to take it over. This will include Black’s wood choices which I will communicate to the new player via PM, score, current position on the board and opportunity to place the next tile. We won’t be starting over as this would be unfair to the two players who have already invested a lot of time and effort in the game so far...

There are no pre-requisites for taking part, but I do ask that you consider this only if you feel that you will be able to commit yourself to it and take your turns in a relatively timely manner (i.e. no more than a couple of days per tile if possible). It’s preferable that you’re able to keep track of the game on a table somewhere so that you can submit your turns via photo but this needn’t be a barrier if you’re unable to do so but are otherwise keen to play as someone else (probably me) can do this for you.

So without further ado, please post below if you’d be interested in taking part!

If you agree I'm In.
So few chances to play recently I'll take anything.

I can't replicate the game at home but I'll do my very best to instruct clearly where I want the tiles placed.

Excellent! I'm happy for you to step in if you are. Details are on the way...

If you're someone who might have been interested in this, but missed out, there is still a space in the Blue Game. Good luck!
