I'd like to join! :)
I only just spotted this. Is there room for another team?????
Quevy and I are a team and in honour of both of our forum names, our team is called The Jungle Queens.
3. Every team plays every other team, and the team with the most league points at the end (followed by PD as tie-breaker) wins overall.So with 6 teams, there would be five games per team, with 7 six, with 8 seven. As far as I understand, this works out fine with any number of teams. Only the numbers of players obvious has to be even?
While I won't want to discourage another 2 players to join, I don't see, why an odd number of teams should be a problem? Dan, you settlet the rule:3.

Sounds interesting, I would like to join as 15th participant.
I proudly announce that a new team has just been established for the Dream Team competition:cool ¡¡¡¡
jma11 = jma03 + (e)Leven
:)
Mr numbers and I are the Red Devils.
And........ I'm in!!
Available players:
- Chooselife
- Curt194
- Hounk
- Merlin_89
Merlin and I teamed up quite some time ago. We just still are not sure about our team name, that's why we did not mention it before.

Guess Curt got stuck with me. :o
Not sure about the name ;D but if you stick a "Dirty" before the Harry I'd stick with it, subject to Curt approval obviously.
The initials for Curt & Chooslife is CC - 'The Crop Circle II' surely ;)
If i'm not mistaken, both quevy and I both like playing with green, so you can add a green meeple to the Jungle Queens.
| Goldfishes | vs. | The Jungle Queens |
| The Road Runners | vs. | Dan & Decar the Dubious Diabetic Duo |
| The Red Arrows | vs. | jma11 |
| The Glomming Knights | vs. | Team Harry |
So we play in this tournament without randomising the starting order. How is it settled, which team goes 1st & 3rd and which 2nd and 4th?
Why we can't use projected points? If we are not allowed to do it, I will think much longer, as I will recount these points by myself from time to time, as a result this will prolong our games. I think projected points don't give sufficient advantage to players, it just a matter of comfort and speed.
TAFKATH will now go under the name of "Glooming Knights".

..., if this is a big problem for you and if your opponents are happy for you to use this then feel free to do so. I don't like to, for the reasons explained above, but I won't enforce my opinion on everyone for the sake of it if they disagree... C:-)

I do not know what you think, but I think the talks with teammate on where to place a tile should not be there.

I've been thinking about this too. I'm not sure what my preference is. There are some team card games where you're not allowed to talk to your teammate, and part of the skill of those games is to understand what your teammate is doing and how you can best work together without being able to discuss strategy. So that could also be a nice aspect of this event.
OK, so it seems we’ve come unstuck a little already. Please allow me to attempt to stick us back together!I'm in favour of communication. Good fit learning and we are not quite at the point where the conventions of the game are as strong as in games such as Bridge where a strong understanding of communication through action underpins the game.
With regard to the communication within teams, my intention was that this should be allowed as it kind of underpins the whole “team” aspect of the competition. Without it, teams are no more than two individuals with a common goal whereas I was hoping this could be an opportunity to enjoy building friendships while we develop our team tactics and a collaborative approach to game play. In short, I see no reason to forbid discussion within teams as long as it doesn’t slow the game down too much. Apologies in advance if this doesn’t suit everyone, but I think this is the most sensible and expected approach.
With regard to JCZ’s player aids, I’m increasingly aware that some people prefer to use these more than others and will probably continue to use them regardless of my requests to avoid them since there’s no way of tracking this anyway. I prefer to keep my carc games as “pure” as possible by ignoring these, but obviously this is just me. So in short, I can’t control this, so use them as you wish.
We could add a tournament option to JCZ which implements no aids but the one that I would keep is the tile list.
I wasn't aware there was a tile counter, although perhaps it's in a newer version of JCZ
Thanks for clarifying. I agree though, it should be done by memory - it's just a shame I'm not very good at it yet! Still, gives me more reason to practice and play a few more games. I always turn this feature off in the Android app, as it ruins the game in my opinion.
It may be a non sequitur but can Imelda and I be "The Road Runners".
p.s. none of the rules that I have seen say that you cannot have an original distribution list
- ...
- ...
- There are now several artificial aids included within JCZ. These include farm hints, projected points and even tile lists. Please don’t use any of these, or do anything that would give you or your team mate an unfair advantage over your opponents. This is especially difficult to Police given the online nature of the competition, so please be prepared to enter into the spirit of things and respect your opponents by leaving everything other than your wits behind you! O:-)
The Glomming Knights vs. Team HarryBesides Mondays and Thursdays between 19h30 / 22h30 I'm pretty much in on all hours just send me a PM in advance.
Dan,
I know that it will create the usual huge thread but if it is possible please don't update mid-thread posts with useful/important info as it doest trigger the notify mail or do it on the first post.
.... the 3 hours it took did take it's toll. We finished close to midnight!....
Just to update we are trying to get our game organised but it may not be until next week but hopefully we will find a suitable time soon. Its all been looking really interesting so far!
The Red Arrows and jma11 will play their game today (Thursday) at 21:00 CET.
Well, at least we started it. But due to a connection loss and the fact, we played on Online Server, we could not finish it. :( Multiple players of us saved the game, but we will need a host to continue next Monday evening. Still 93 tiles to go, so not much played yet.

This game has been postponed to next Tuesday. Jacobo had technical difficulties, hopefully he'll manage to solve them in the following days.
I will be around next Monday and am happy to host if I'm needed? Hopefully jma03 can have his copy of JCloisterZone unzipped and running correctly by next Tuesday...We will sure appreciate this a lot. I would need an email adress to send you the save game.
