Quizzes, Puzzles and Challenges / Re: Carcassonne Central: Advent Quiz MMXXIV
« on: January 01, 2025, 12:17:06 PM »
First of all, thank you @Meepledrone so much for organizing Advent Quiz again! It's truly a fantastic tradition, and I am always looking forward to it every year.
Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to answer the questions daily this time, so I had to tackle all of them last minute, working on them until the early hours of today's morning.
As you can imagine, this led to quite a few mistakes which clicked on me like a time bomb after the deadline. Oh well, lesson learned for next year!
Question 20
When @Bumsakalaka informed me that the newest at the time question included fan expansions, I felt unease at first. I was literally speachles for a moment, as that was something I was not expecting to happen. But when I've seen it, how densly packed it is, the negative points, I only imagined what people unfamiliar with them must feel.
Maybe next year fan-expansions will be mixed into easier questions and without grinch's heavy mischiefs
Now that I know for sure I’ve made some errors in this question, I’m bracing myself for the negative points that are sure to come my way.
It already feels embarrassing to see results, but that relates to part of Carcassonne's beauty while playing in person (unfortunately not present during online play), when "hold on, what are you doing?" or "wait wait wait, can't you see?" comes out during inproper scoring or overlooking something.
I truly appreciate the effort and time put into this event. It’s always a pleasure to participate, and it keeps the spirit of Carcassonne alive in such a fun and engaging way.
Looking forward to next year’s quiz already! And I know for sure I will need to answer daily, no matter what, and dedicate last days of a year to verify the answers like I've done in past years.
Merrits will flow @Meepledrone

They also changed from Berbador to some uglier font.
