Congrats @DIN0!  Very well earned.

Thanks Dan for a fun Newsletter and for the shoutout--there's lots to be enthusiastic about!

What Happens Next?

4. B:[0;-1]E:crrf>W:R

For those who haven't yet mastered DIN0's notation :-[, the second player puts the tile under the start tile with the city facing to the right and places a robber on the road.

This gives Green a chance to join the Black road.  If Black claims the city cap, it helps Green's cloister and gives Green a chance to connect to the road.  If Black blocks the road, Green might claim the city.

I don't like playing at [1;-1] (below the cloister), because then if Black extends the road, it might be difficult to get a tile at [0;-1] to complete the Green cloister.  I suppose playing at [2;0] (right of the cloister) and placing a knight is okay, but Black has an easy point to launch an invasion of the city from [1;1].

You could do something crazy and extend Black's road by placing at [-1;-1] and deploying a farmer that would be on a field that includes both sides of the road?

Scott has been an admin for longer than I have; he's just not been so active over the last few years so you might have missed him. Decar and Meepledrone were both made Admins during the 5-week downtime period we experienced last year. I'm not quite sure where we'd be now without either of them!

Thanks for the explanation Dan.  I would have thought so... :)

Well then the website only now did catch up with reality ...  ;D
I was referring to the colours in which your names appear (see snapshot). I am pretty sure until yesterday or the day before, Meepledrone and Scott appeared in blue labeled Global Moderater (like kettlefish) and you and Decar appeared in red labeled Admin.
It doesn't matter, really, I just noticed it ...  ;)

One of the admins was doing some updates to the site and changed the colours briefly.

Decar and I were displayed in blue because our main role was Global Moderator and our secondary role was Admin... (forum config stuff)... even for a while, my profile displayed 2 Admin badges... :o

This was just a test to see if you were paying attention...  ;D ;D ;D
