So what are the standings after today's games?

mas9dj · « **Reply #31 on:** August 18, 2014, 04:24:19 PM »

Don't know exact numbers but I think it's:

Jungleboy 4 games 4 wins
Farin 3 games 2 wins
mas9dj 3 games 1 win
quevy 1 game 0 wins
yellow 3 games 0 wins

So yellow would be out, jungleboy already classified and the rest still have options, though quevy HAS TO win Farin for me and him to stand any chance to pass. Only 3 games left to play, all with quevy involved: mas9dj vs quevy, quevy vs farin, quevy vs yellow. Correct me if wrong.

Correct! Jungleboy is definitely through in 1st place with 12 points (4 wins), and Yellow can no longer qualify as the most points he can win now is 3 (if he beats quevy) which is lower then Farin's current score of 6 (2 wins).

Farin, mas9dj or quevy could still qualify in 2nd place though based on the following scenarios:

Farin: a win against quevy will put his final total to 9 points which will guarantee him 2nd place. quevy's maximum would be 6 (having lost to Farin and jungleboy) and mas9dj's maximum would also be 6 (having lost to Farin and jungleboy).

mas9dj: a win against quevy will put his final total to 6 points. If quevy then beats Farin, Farin's final total will also be 6 points. This would lead to a 2 or potentially 3-way tie between Farin, quevy and mas9dj (depending on whether quevy beats Yellow) for 6 points each. In this case it would come down to total score differential - it's too early to suggest who would qualify in 2nd in this case.

quevy: a win against Farin will prevent Farin from taking 2nd place on points alone. This combined with a win against either Yellow or mas9dj will win him enough points to qualify based on total score differential in the 2 or 3-way tie described above. If he beats Yellow and mas9dj (as well as Farin) he can still qualify on points (9).

So in summary, there's still everything to play for but the Farin vs quevy match is probably the most critical!

Bad position and risky game in early stage -> 3 followers captured (2 of then on inn and cathedral -> 0 points). Not good.
But this is real challenge and different games from others. I give up battle for central farm (and i probably should try to avoit cities here completely ... )

Final scoring not so catastrophic

quevy 143 - 125 farin

Great game Farin, was able to get up from a bad situation. Even though the score says otherwise is he who won. With 3 followers in less put me in trouble several times. I won only because of the fields, of which I had dominance.

Well played both! It looks like this group is going to come down to the wire!

@quevy - who are you playing next?

quevy · « **Reply #36 on:** August 21, 2014, 01:48:47 PM »

If I find the time tomorrow touch yellow for the game.

I will be available in the afternoon after 1pm (Stockholm) and as usual in irc league chat if you get the time. Looking forward to it!

Well, here we go... Final game was all messed up.

Not only did I not get tiles to conquer any large farm areas, but quevy got a lot of cities done and even won the huge city where I had meeples on. I was building that city up and he just lay one tile and won.

I don't mind losing, but this is unfair.

quevy · « **Reply #39 on:** August 22, 2014, 07:37:43 AM »

Sorry, I've played well, I won for the luck, I got the only tile that I
allowed to win the big city with the cathedral.

Ouch... I feel your pain Yellow. Congrats quevy!

Rosco · « **Reply #41 on:** August 22, 2014, 08:41:15 AM »

That is harsh. Exactly double the score!

mas9dj · « **Reply #42 on:** August 22, 2014, 09:05:38 AM »

Yellow's game vs quevy also leaves Farin and me with almost no posibilities to qualify for next round, specially me.

If I haven't messed up, this are current standings in the group. As you can see quevy has eveything to pass with one game left vs me, though it's extremely difficult for me or farin to pass it's not imposible:

- If i loose, quevy will be 2nd, farin 3rd and me 4th.
- If I win by 90 points farin would take 2nd place, quevy 3rd and me 4th.
- If I win by 93 points, farin would still be 2nd, me 3rd and quevy 4th
- If I want to be 2nd, I have to win by 97 points, then farin would be 3rd and quevy 4th.

As you see, that has only happened once this world cup and it's almost imposible, but who knows, the game is still to be played. See you soo quevy

You can alter the config.yaml setting that controls the length of the score display to

score_display_duration: 60000 # seconds

or more so that all of the individual scores for each structure stay visible - so you caan see exactly who score what on each item
