Following Kettlefish's tradition...

Meepledrone:
[Q1] If a watchtower scoring for meeples is adjacent to only one half of a double-sized tile, does the watchtower consider those meeples on the half adjacent to the watchtower or all the meeples on the tile?

[A1]  The watchtower will consider all the meeples on the double-sized tile.

This means that a wachtower scoring for meeples or the big top, by extension, will consider all the meeples on double-sized tiles adjacent to them, even if one of their halves is not actually adjacent.

Bumsakalaka:
What!? Oh dear...

Decar:
That's rocked my world to find out KJW is a one-tiler.  After recent clarifications, I think the rules are going around in circles  ;D ;D ;D ;D

Maybe it would be better to make our own clarifications that'd make sense with the overall Carcassonne expansions instead of trying to make sense with clarifications from HiG that are always changing and never taking the whole game into consideration...  :-\
