Carcassonne Central: Advent Quiz MMXXI

[Meepledrone]

- Santa Claus: How is that possible?
- Snowman: I have no idea... We'll have to talk to the Guardian.
- Easter Bunny: Will he be willing to speak?
- Santa Claus: At least he should be properly informed.
- Snowman: Do you think we should let Count Meep...
- The others: (abruptly) Shhhhhhhh!
- Snowman: Sorry,  ... the Unmentionable first?
- Danisthirty: No way... There are no messengers left after the bad news about the C1 Spiel tiles.
- Santa Claus: (with an empty stare) Yep... All gone... (slowly) one by one...
- Easter Bunny: And The Grinch, what does he have to say about all this?
- The Grinch: (showing up all of a sudden) NOTHING!
- The others: ARGGGH!
- Snowman: (his carrot nose falls down to the floor)
- The Grinch: I hope were talking about how much you all missed me...
- Snowman: (kneeling down while looking for this nose)
- Easter Bunny: (grinning) Sure! Sure!... Gotta go... some eggs to paint! You know...
- Santa Claus: Where did you go? We were worried about you...
- The Grinch: Why would you like to know? Eh? Who cares! It is a secret! Nobody will ever know.
- Danisthirty: Hey, Fir Tree, he took you with you right?
- Fir Tree: (a bird whistles)...
- The Grinch: (nervously) His lips are sealed... wooden... Ehr... He has no lips...
- The Grinch: (clearing his throat) Our lips are sealed.
- Danisthirty: I see, I see...
- Danisthirty: Donc, quelle heure est-il ?
- Fir Tree: (bending a twig) Omelette au fromage!!!
- Danisthirty: HA! I KNEW IT... The inn by the river near Carcassonne!
- The Grinch:
- Fir Tree:
- Snowman: (still looking for this nose)
- The others:
- The Grinch: How did you...?
- The Grinch: (regaining control) Ahem, Santa Claus, I'm waiting for your question!


Question #18: Santa Claus wants you to relax today, so he placed this tile completing a city. He has several questions for you:
1) How many points does Red score? (0-5 points)
2) Where does the Red Meeple go after scoring? (0-1 points)
   a) Red removes the meeple as usual, since the scoring involves two figures.
   b) The Red Meeple goes to the bathhouse, since the Witch is not taken into consideration.
3) Where does the Witch go after scoring? (0-1 points)
   a) The Witch is removed from the board and put aside until the next tile with a magic symbol is placed.
   b) The Witch stays where it is until the next tile with a magic symbol is placed.

- Santa Claus: Where is Danisthirty?
- The Grinch: He had to run an errand... A book signing or something... So today I'm filling in...
- The Grinch: He's indulging Count Meepula...
- Santa Claus: Ah yes... I heard he is crazy about C1...
- Snowman: Is it true he will ban the C2 edition?
- The Grinch: Since he saw the C1 Spiel '21 tile... He is not speaking about anything else.
- The Grinch: He just gave me all the C2 Spiel tiles in appreciation for my services... I used them for this scenario.
- Snowman: I only see 3 of them...
- The Grinch: Well... I couldn't help but eat the other 5 with a nice hot cocoa...
- Santa Claus: WHAT?
- The Grinch: Stop it there... They are worthless. Nobody would like them! So I put them to a good use. Admit it.
- Santa Claus:
- Snowman: Does he know about the Download Version of the Winter Edition.
- Santa Claus: I wouldn't advise you to go down that path...
- Santa Claus: Let's keep it cool... Huh?
- Snowman:
- The Grinch: On the contrary... Tell me more, tell me moooore!


Question #19: The Grinch places this abbey tile on Blue's behalf. How many points does each player score in this case?

[Meepledrone]

- Meepledrone: No animal tokens were harmed suring this quiz.
- Meepledrone: No phantoms were allowed to be acrobats either.
- Meepledrone: Finally, no large meeples were used in this quiz.
- Blue Meeple: Why not? I think that is a total discrimination!
- Meepledrone: (sighing) 
- Meepledrone: If Count Meepula hears about this... It will be your doom!
- Blue Meeple: OK.

Don't worry sent PM to not give help to younger players

[oldbonz]

concerning small buildings there are 2 ways of evaluating them, an egalitarian way and a differentiated way.
I have chosen the egalitarian method

[Meepledrone]

- Meepledrone: Perfect! Both methods are okay in this case.
- The Grinch: Never reveal they lead to the same result in this question.
- Meepledrone: Me? Never!... Look at the camera!
- The Grinch:

Oh I am sorry. However, I did add the answer to your question in my post (see the picture in my previous reply  ).

[Meepledrone]

- Danisthirty: Hi there! Everything in order!
- Danisthirty: What is all this outside the Vault?
- Decar: Just trying to make some room. Cundco requested a lot of stuff stored at the very bottom for the Advent Campaign 2021.
- Decar: Every year the same story...
- Decar: On top of that, The Grinch stopped by and ordered me to start the spring cleaning right now. Three months earlier!
- The Grinch: (in the distance): I'm hearing you. Shut up and do your job!
- Decar:
- The Grinch: (in the distance) Always whining... Always complaining! Don't make me come down!
- Decar: (dusting a nearby tile)
- Danisthirty: Aaaah! The Vault of the Unlikely...
- Decar: Don't know why we keep all this stuff HiG will never release or license...
- Danisthirty: Why? I love to come down from time to time and check the stuff that could had been...
- Danisthirty: Remember all the hype about RGG and Corn Circles, Plague and Tunnels...
- Decar: Aha!... 
- Danisthirty: ... or Devir and the Monasteries in Spain... They look so nice from here!
- Decar: Aha!... 
- Danisthirty: ... or the official La Porxada designed by KJW...
- Decar:  ... That's BS...
- Danisthirty: I was checking if your were paying attention.
- Decar: Yep, but there is no use to keep all this around anymore.
- Danisthirty: The Unmentionable wants to review each item, so they'd better be spotless by tea time.
- Danisthirty: He's actually very interested in SUPARAR tiles... Why all the fuzz around the C1 Spiel Tiles?
- Decar: He'd ordered to take the Spiel'21 to his office...
- Danisthirty: So he knew they were here all the time?
- Decar: Yep!
- Decar: (to himself) I don't know how I'm still alive...
- Danisthirty: He... he....
- Decar: (to himself) And... I will have to get rid of all the WE and C2 stuff...
- Decar: (to himself) ...the ice figures, the WE Fortune Teller and even the C2 Catapult prototype...
- Danisthirty:
- Decar: (sighing) A large part of our non-story will be gone.
- Danisthirty: I think he will order some conversions to C1 ASAP.
- Danisthirty: By the way, I had never seen these odd bridges before...
- Decar: Ah, yes! These are part of a Exp. 8.5 - More Bridges, Castles & no Bazaars.
- Decar: They will have a second life as part of the prize for the winner this year...
- Danisthirty: Awesome... (sighing) Field wars will be never the same...
- Decar: Indeed.
- Decar: Will you help me with the cleaning?
- Danisthirty: Ehhhh! ... So sorry! I have an something with my the barber later. Ciaoooo.
