Hiya. Just to let you know, I'm currently online in the chat room. I'm available to play a game for a bit should someone in group 2 be around (or for that matter anyone if it's just a friendly non-tournament game).

Glad to see more and more people getting setup.
+1 to Mr Numbers for the help again
Has anyone managed to schedule a game yet?
No nothing arranged as yet. I had a quick look in the chat room earlier tonight, but wasn't anyone from Group 2, so I let Piklach have his laptop back so he could host a friendly game or two. I should be able to get online tomorrow night, so hopefully they'll be someone around from my group for a game. Failing that, I'll send a few messages out to try and schedule something for next week. Yeah, MrNumbers does wonders with routers! 
Thanks.
+1 I definitely agree!

Big thanks to Mr Numbers for helping me to configure my router to host - really appreciate your help (merit given).
Cheers for the games tonight guys, I enjoyed playing online and am glad of the practice before playing a tournament game!
Talking of which, should anyone drop out then my eldest would really love to join. So if we need a reserve player, then just let me know.
Right then, I'm off to bed. Maybe catch up with some of you over the w/end.

Hello! Thanks to those of you who've been involved in setting up this new members tournament and for making us newbies feel welcome. It's a bit late now tonight, but I'll try and get online tomorrow from about 8pm (UK time), should anyone fancy a game. Happy to count it towards the tournament if you're also in group 2, but a friendly practice game is fine too. I've not played online before, so unfortunately I don't know how to host a game. However, I'm willing to try if someone in the chat room can guide me through my router settings tomorrow night. I'd like to give it a try using JCZ, but I don't mind playing via the Android app if necessary. Hopefully speak to some of you tomorrow. Cheers, Rich.

If you come to the chat room now, there are a few of us there, including some people who should be able to help you.

Thanks guys for your help, really appreciate it. I can't believe it was that simple - I guess it shows that I don't use a PC for gaming (just spreadsheets)!! For anyone else who might experience the same problem, it was a really easy fix - I just needed to install (i.e. uncompress the downloaded zip folder), rather than trying to run JCZ directly from the downloaded folder!

Hi guys. Not sure if I should post this here but wasn't sure where else and it's kinda relevant to newbies who might be reading this thread (like me).
I'm really struggling to get a game (against the computer) started on JCloisterZone. I'm running 3.2.0 and using the latest Java, but after selecting 'New Game' and picking a meeple for myself (local player) and then selecting another as a computer player, not a lot happens when I click 'Start Game'. The title bar changes to state my player name and says how many tiles are left, but that's about it! If I click on the icon on the Win taskbar (which has changed to indicate my meeple colour), the game screen loads up with the menus across the top but everything else is black.
Please can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong. I have tried it get it to work on both a Win 8.1 and Win 7 laptop, and have tried using v3.1.1 (along with selecting various different options on the settings screen too). Please help, as I was really looking forward to playing.
Happy to post screenshots if it helps.
Cheers, Rich.

Hello everyone.
This sounds like a great idea and I'd be keen to give it a go (depending on game timings).
Unfortunately I've never played online before, so this is all a bit new to me!
Thanks for the links in previous posts - I'll install JCZ and try to get a practice game or two in so that I know how it works.
I'm in England btw, so my time zone GMT is +1 (British Summer time).
BTW, what's with all the the verification checks - I've had to Google the answer a couple of them!! Guess I'll learn more about the game as I get used to it and experience some of the expansions!
