In given scenario there are two possible variants:
1. If after Rosco will play his matches jvnoledawg is available we finish our League as planned.
2. If jvnoledawg is not available by that time, to return balance I suggest to players who had the chance to play with him not to count points received from those games in the overall standings.

This sounds fair to me.

As for availability, I can play tonight (Tuesday) after 8pm my time (Central European Time), tomorrow night or Thursday night. I'm not sure yet about this weekend. Next week I should be free at night from Monday-Thursday, but after next Thursday I won't be able to play for 3.5 weeks as I'll be abroad with only Apple products to keep me company.

Done - one game each

Rosco and I just played our match and it was 1-1, with the winner being the player who went 2nd both times. The first game was 130-97 to me, the second was 114-86 to Rosco.

Th first game was a bit of a runaway for Jungleboy but with some risky tactics and perserverence, game 2 was mine!

Thanks for a great match!

I only have saved the picture from game 2 - Jungleboy, do you have the other one?

Rosco · « **Reply #201 on:** July 01, 2014, 01:32:08 PM »

Carcking - you are next! when are you available?

kettlefish · « **Reply #202 on:** July 01, 2014, 01:38:27 PM »

What happens with not yet played games of jvnoledawg?

Do we put an other member in this League? Perhaps Jere if he like...

I have saved both pictures. Here is game 1.

MrNumbers · « **Reply #204 on:** July 01, 2014, 01:50:20 PM »

...and better quality of game 2.

Dan is in contact with him. There is a chance that in the nearest future jvnoledawg will be able to finish his remaining matches.

And thanks for updating overall standings.

No problem!

Thanks for the congratulations! Now the spoiler for me can be Rosco's game against Dan

Man I picked a rubbish week to be on holiday. I'm out in the country where there isn't very good internet. So much has been happening though and I really feel like I'm missing out!

Well done MrNumbers on your victory against Carcking. And well done to Rosco and jungleboy for playing their match at such short notice.

Discounting games against jvnoledawg leaves MrNumbers score unchanged but reduced mine by 1 with one matchto play against Rosco. Hopefully we can hold this match next week. Hopefully Rosco and Carcking will have played their match by then too.

Congrats to MrNumbers! He mopped the floor with me. I must say I have never felt like I had such unlucky games as those two. I could not draw a single key tile and MrNumbers drew everyone he needed - but I have the sense that this has a lot more to do with MrNumbers' game play than pure bad luck. Good think I still have my day job

There wasn't so bad, Carcking! I admit that I have some lucky draws, but you did what you could with tiles you drew. You have quite interesting strategy: at times when I would try to connect to opponent's feature, you wait for a moment, maybe to estimate value of that feature, maybe to lull the vigilance

Later I will try to write up more detailed report.
