Weird, that's how much I'm selling the frame with all the signed tiles to KJW for!

Curt194 - 140 : Aenima - 127

So my game with Aenima was very tense! Through most of the game we were neck and neck. It ended up coming down to the farms in the end which I got the majority on from the last tile, which would have been Aenima's if the tile draws were the other way round!

I also managed to kick myself out of the big city in the top right instead of placing the fairy which thankfully didn't have as much of an impact as I thought it might!

Thanks for the game Aenima

group D5:

Decar and quevy - my regular PC doesn't work anymore. I have only my old PC, that means I am not able to play my games at JCZ in the next few days.

Italy and the UK aren't so far away...

Valheru and monwill I'll be available during this morning till 13h00 GMT.
I'm still counting on being online in the evening, nonetheless.

Game MrNumbers vs Merlin_89 is going to be today at 21:00 CET.

Impact of the result could be the following:

If MrNumbers wins: Not only he becomes the Champion of league but also takes back the Top rank with an Elo of 1386. Merlin goes down to 1381.

If Merlin_89 wins: With a PD of +6 for this game, he will be Champion of the league. His Elo would again go over the impressive mark of 1400 (1411) and MrNumbers Elo's would then be 1356.

Is this enough pressure?

I calculated that Merlin_89 needs +17 for this last game to become the Champion of the P&D League

This will be one for the history books!

Yes, I calculated the same. +17 total but +6 just for this last game.

And can the winner be kind enough to completely crush his opponent so that I can finish 2nd? Thanks! :-D

A draw would result in you finishing 2nd too...

I don't bit understand: Merlin_89 has PD -11 now. I have +22. How +6 could be enough for him to win the League?

Oh sorry, Merlin's PD is currently negative, of course. Funny that it gives mirrored numbers (+17 for the final game and +6 total), that's my poor excuse for not noticing immediately.

Where to begin... Ah yes!

GNARAHGAGHAGEJGGRRMMBLLLL

Chooselife 169

Valheru 132

You might ask yourself why I'm this frustrated? The point difference seems quite substantial. For 2/3rds of the game I felt in control. Meepleshortage was something I had to be careful for because there were a lot of project going on and difficult choices to be made. Then the final third of the game came and boy, did it hit me.. HARD..

First of all I needed one (1!) cloister to get my meeple at the right back but it never came. Chooselife had all the other cloisters in the game. We'll start counting -> 18 points. Credit to Chooselife to create that particular situation of course.

Secondly the city at the top of the screen. Built it in its entirety and I just needed one tile. It came, but it was a princess. And it was Chooselife's turn. City gone, poof -> 26 points down the gutter. Add those with the 18 points of the cloisters and I would have been on top.

The farmbattle was a vicious one. I wasn't very pleased with the concentration of farmers (2 of mine and 1 of chooselife's) on the left of the screen. The dragon came and ate one of mine. I was fortunate to add one meeple in the farm at the end of the game (the bottom one on the right) to secure a draw. 3 each.

But by all means and moans by me, the sore loser, this doesn't mean that Chooselife didn't deserve the win! He played his game excellent and made hard-earned point count. Luck might have been a factor, but most of the time I feel that you earn and enforce luck by your previous tile-placement. All credit to Chooselife. A draw or a narrow loss (for myself) would have been more justified, I feel. But that's a two-edged sword and I would have been bummed out either way. Hard Carcassonne lessons learned again haha.

I sure hope I can secure a top20 spot in my first tournament, a win against monwil is a must!

And to quote Halfling in the chat. 'I never want to see a dragon after this ever again.'

Words of wisdom, my friend.
