So, are we free to organise our games for the next round now?
Yeah sure. But beware of this (http://www.carcassonnecentral.com/community/index.php?topic=2116). Not sure how long it's going to be before it's fixed.
but it won't be publicly visible on website and I will make public 3.4.1 in one or two weeks.
If you play with currect 3.3.1 - be careful and save game before placing abbey to be safe.
Great job guys! Very well done! :(y) :(y) :(y)
My game against Farin is scheduled on Sunday evening. My record against him is 2 wins, no losses BUT these games were extremely tight: :o
139-131 (difference of 8pts) in the Traders & Builders League
123-116 (difference of 7pts) in the Inns & Cathedrals League
I expect the same this time again! Won't be easy but I'm looking forward to it! :)
Let's don't complicate thingsI don't know why, but I can't make this 7z running on my machine. Can you please release a zip version, too?
it's regular 3.4.0

It also doesn't appear to work for me on a Mac. I get this message.
Edit: khalid sent me the zip file so I it works now. Thanks khalid!
I sent a PM to dustyu a few days ago to try to organise our game but he hasn't replied yet.
It seems a shame that the last two UK players are playing each other, but at least one UK player is certain to reach the quarter finals this way!
Any other games scheduled any time soon: SRBO vs. MrsNumbers / glh510 vs. Leven / Merlin_89 vs. laguse ?
Thanks Dan. I have 3.4 already but dusty hasn't downloaded it yet; he'll do it just before the match when he gets home. And he might be able to host himself.
SRBO/ MrsNumbers and Merlin_89/ laguse - is there any news on when you might be playing your games yet?
Nice progress with knock-out stage! Well done...
I have just sent PM with invite to play laguse. But he's not be seen on forum whole October. I'd like to play during weekend, but we'll see...
SRBO/ MrsNumbers and Merlin_89/ laguse - is there any news on when you might be playing your games yet?
MrsNumbers will play with SRBO either Wednesday or Thursday evening.
ell played khalid, see you in the next round Leven! :) :(y)
hey all,
just quick message to everybody, Merlin_89 and myself will likely play the game this Sunday.
I am just back from vacation, and saw the surprise that I am in next round which wasn't expected. Thanks for the hints & personal messages from kettlefish, Dan and of course Merlin_89 earlier this week.
Thanks,
laguse
Merlin_89 and myself will likely play the game this Sunday.
I start to be pissed that we are slowing you down... :(
Just call me Laguse, Rosco Laguse. Double 0 Red meeple, license to glom.
I have a question:
What is with the game Merlin_89 and laguse?
Game 9: Hounk vs. SRBO
Game 9: Hounk vs. SRBO
MrsNumbers also was dropped out, together with laguse? ???
It's 'bye', by the way :)
I can only say that I don't feel fully comfortable with that course of action either, I'd definitely wanted to win my place in quarters on my own... At least I knew I felt ready to play 1/8 after so many friendlies (thanks for those!).
So, let's play quarters!
I guess, I'll have to double my efforts in game against zone2...
Here's a snapshot of the current situation before QF starts:
(http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/11/13/d290aa7921b39a52cb6ed6560580d117.jpg)
Farin and I are playing our QF at 21:00 CET on Sunday.
At one moment poor Jungleboy missed that I trap his meeple just single turn before, complete city and skip placement.
I am like that final margin is greater than the city value.
OMG, you can't actually imagine how loud I shouted when final score appeared!
I was cautioned that you're a BEAST... :) I guess I'll remember this game for a while.
Congrats Merlin_89. Looks like you really had an epic game. It actually is a very good combination of expansions, I think. I like it a lot, although I lost the important WC game in it. And I'm very pleased, that my "dream team mate" picked it up so great, after being a little doubtful about it.
Leven and I are expecting to play our game tomorrow evening at 10pm CET.
Congratulations, danisthirty! Very close game!
I wonder why Leven didn't kidnap your most left farmer? As you stated the last tile was cccf with 6-points farmer on it, so Leven had a great chance to reduce your score by 12 points.
With hindsight, it's worth pointing out that if Leven had placed his final tile (rrff) adjacent to where I was able to place my final tile (the cccf with farmer at the top for 6 points) then I couldn't have placed my tile where I did.

Which one of them? How many points Leven scored with it?

Well played everyone! I feel the pain of the participants who lost their game by a narrow margin!
I can give an Elo update right now. I don't want to flood the thread with stats so lets do it just for the active players. Full ranking will follow after the World Cup, as usual.
(http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/11/19/022f927d456d0f7478572d046bd59f3c.jpg)
In hindsight, I think I made a mistake when I drew the FFFF tile with cloister and tower base. Instead of placing it next to Dan's follower in his smaller farm to the left, I should have placed it to fill the gap between the main farm and Dan's farmer (where Dan placed the GM later in the game), and so I could have captured Dan's farmer which earned him 27 points in the end.
I wonder how far the first two ranked players (I assume they are zone2 and jungleboy) are ahead of danisthirty and Merlin_89. Do they have a chance to get to the top after the World Cup?
Once again, how do we rule on bazaar element in SF?
requested fix for Bazaar tile definition is here
http://jcloisterzone.com/builds/JCloisterZone-3.4.2.7z
/ .zip / .tgz
full changelog:
Russian Promos "expansion"
dark theme (there is definitely place for many improvements, especially in create game view)
fixed: Impossible to undo Goldmine tile placement
fixed The Corn Circles II tile definitions - cities was linked to farm (this bug can cause less points on farm in some cases)
fixed BB.CFR.b tile definition - another missing city-farm link
Any semi-final matches in sight?
Just curious :)
Btw I can't find what is game setup for this round. Could you point me?
Will there be a game for 3rd place?
Yes, MrsNumbers also enjoyed the game. In fact, it could go either way, if she would have placed crrf tile by herself (she had such possibility), and claimed both farm and road. But she didn't want to free your monk, so you did it by yourself.
Will there be a game for 3rd place?
In the last edition I and Jungle Boy we made the game for third and fourth place.
I think it should be done this time.
surely its a fix!! the organiser is in the final!

Before this gets out of hand - i would categorically like to say that Dan has done a bang up job organising various competitions and i trust him to do so without prejudice. He is very trust worthy and him getting to the final is actually a measur eof his immense skill at the carcassonne table and nothing else. I wish i had his skill and i hope to try to at least match his level of skill at the uk champs this year.

Please don't lets put into question his honour as all that will do is make it difficult for him to give it his all in the final which his opponent deserves.
Good luck to you both.
Christmas Card List 2015Hi danisthirty,Christmas is getting cheaper... ;)
RoscoGuy- Everyone else
I guess I won't be sparring with Merlin_89 for my next match, so if anyone has time for a practice match against me at some point this week I could use the experience!

I'll play against you tonight if you're available as a thank you for last night's games. 8:30 UK / 9:30 CET?
So the World Cup final is tonight? What channel is it on? :(y)
Congratulations Merlin! And commiserations Dan. I definitely know the feeling when you just can't get into a game and do anything to stop your opponent piling on points.
And commiserations to Dan. I was on your place last year :-\
When MrsNumbers first time saw the set of the expansions for the final game, she predicted that winner of that game will be with 100+ points margin. She was right! :D
Let's see, how her own game with farin will end ;)

Good luck to both players! Have you arranged a date for this match yet?
Congratulations to Merlin!! Now I have a fellow World Cup Champ! It doesn't have to be lonely at the top anymore! haha
(Merlin, PM your address and I can get this trophy off the mantel. BTW, you are now my wife's new favorite! :o )

By the way, if I am not mistaken, we didn't have a chance to see a photo of previous World Cup owner yet! ::)
(Merlin, PM your address and I can get this trophy off the mantel. BTW, you are now my wife's new favorite! :o )
Just curious, who was the old one? ;)
How's it going with scheduling 3rd place game? It'd be interesting to see how that match rolls out...

Ah, that would be anyone who got the trophy off the mantel. It doesn't take much to please her :o

Almost scheduled. It seems that this game will take place on this weekend.
Thanks guys for arrangement, congrats winners and happy xmas to all :)
Can you make a seperate topic of current elo ratings?
There will be a small prize/ memento for everyone who took part. There will also be other spot prizes which are yet to be announced (other than the "first group to finish" prize). So, if you've received something from me in the past then you will receive something from me again (unless you've changed your address - please let me know if this is the case!) Otherwise, expect to receive a PM from me sometime soon asking for your address; I promise you'll get something before Christmas (*)... :@Christmas 2016 is in the past, but I can't recall I have received something in my postbox ::)
Merry Christmas and best wishes for 2016! :D

6. 2015 World Cup (http://www.carcassonnecentral.com/community/index.php?topic=2012)
This is the single item on my "to do" list that I am most embarrassed about as it's been getting on for a year since this tournament finished and I still have a big box of stuff to send out to people (this doesn't include the trophy which was sent directly from Carcking to Merlin_89 I believe). :-[ Hopefully it will prove to have been worth waiting for when I do eventually send it all out.
