Title: The Basegame (Double) League
Post by: Sinscerly on February 27, 2021, 12:53:55 PM
2021 Basegame (Double) League

It's been some time we've had a league here so here is one  O0.

Well because it's called the Basegame Double League it is possible to win in some multiple ways. In the end we have:


So you're reading this correct we will end up with 5 winners, but the first named will ofcourse be the main winner of this league :)

How does this league work?

The league is really simple it's called the Basegame Double league, because every round you will play two games against your opponent.

In the first one you start and the second your opponent (or reversed).

How do we play each other?

Matches will be played online using the latest version of JCloisterZone (currently 5.5.0)  or could be played on BGA (BoardGameArena, as some members here play there to and are premium).

Please ensure you have downloaded this and can run it on your chosen device well in advance of the start of the competition. Technical advice, general guidance and practice opponents can all be found on the Forum or Carcassonne Central Slack channel (see link at the bottom of this post). Or by posting here of course, but it's recommended and helpful to be available on Slack or Discord if possible.


How are games / matches arranged?

Every round you will play against 1 other opponent. This will continue till you've played against each other opponent inside this league. (This can take some time, so be aware).

Posting Scores

It has become a Carcassonne Central tradition that the victorious player will usually post screenshots of the final scores and end-game landscape back to the forums, along with a short writeup of the games. However, it doesn't really matter who posts what as long as the final scores breakdown from the game is posted. So please ensure that either you or your opponent will take responsibility for this once your match has been completed.

What is expected:

Anything else?

- JCloisterZone (https://jcloisterzone.com/en/) (external link): Downloading this is a good place to start if you haven't already downloaded it.

-
JCloisterZone FAQ (http://www.carcassonnecentral.com/community/index.php?topic=778.msg8428#msg8428): Carcassonne Central hosts the official JCloisterZone FAQ, a guide for people taking part in CarcC tournaments. If you have any questions or difficulties related to starting an internet-based game through JCloisterZone you might find the answer here.

-
Slack (http://www.carcassonnecentral.com/community/index.php?topic=3452.msg50945#msg50945): "Boardgaming chat/ banter/ tomfoolery/ nonsense with intelligent, fun people" might sound like the sort of thing you'd have to call a premium-rate phone number for. But not anymore! Slack is a great way of connecting with others, and is very handy for chatting in person rather than via emails/ private message to arrange mutually convenient times to play matches.

-
The Unwritten Rules (http://www.carcassonnecentral.com/community/index.php?topic=2700.msg39878#msg39878): This is recommended reading for anyone taking part in any of CarcC's online tournaments. Most of it boils down to courtesy and common sense, but it's written down because sometimes common sense isn't as common as we'd like it to be...

Final note:

Please let me know by posting a reaction in this topic if you like to join the league. :)
Start date will be somewhere in two / three weeks.

Awesome you're joining :)

I don't think most people are against BGA, but it can happen someone else doesn't uses BGA. We are playing the leagues from before BGA was a thing, so it can maybe happen that a member isn't on BGA.
It's open-source and works on Windows, Linux and Mac OS. (I've used it on Windows and Linux).

Thanks for suggesting this sincerely! I'm in!

Go on then, you persuaded me to dust off my Carcassonne cap.

I can do JCZ or BGA.

Might be worth getting time zones for folks too.  I'm in the UK.


If anyone wants me to host JCZ games let me know.


Mustn't confuse this with the Double Basegame League either  ;D

Typically games played via personally hosted servers (i.e. our own PCs/ laptops) were usually more reliable than the online server. Although that is going back a few years and it may be that the current online server is better than it used to be. Other than this, the version of JCZ was still the same so no differences in the game.

It's sometimes better when the server explodes or something goes wrong.  Its slightly easier to recover a lost game.  I've not used the online server for a long time though. So perhaps that's more stable.

Same here. I'm in if it's still open.
It's been a while since I last used the JCZ app, so I'll need to confirm that it runs OK on my computer.
I'm in EST. Previous experience suggests that I can only arrange games with the Europe-based players on the weekends, unless they are night owls.

With one decisive maneuver, I think that I definitively won the doubledumbass champion. Oh, wait, this league gives award for the best roles....so I win best buffoon.

Entry - yes please if still possible?
Preferred platform - BGA.
Random feedback - I would never have found this post if I hadn't been sent a link. (Even then I clicked away into the forums and realised I didn't know where "here" was so had to go back to the link.)

JCZ: fine (though I haven't tried version 5.x yet).

Well 5.x not yet have full online support and do not show game hints (farms, points at end of game).

To support play by 5.x one player needs to have set DMZ (demilitarized zone).
Then it's possible to connect direct to player by peer-to-peer connection.

Okay, didn't knew that yet. We can use the version 4 also. It really is a difference as long everyone can play each other

Given that it doesn't look like we can use v5, I tried v. 4.6.1.7 on Mac OS 11.2.1. It loads, but when I try to play a local game with two players, the doesn't seem to successfully load.

Any trouble shooting thoughts? -  :pink-meeple:

I haven't tested it that much yet. I will test it sometimes through, otherwise we will go with JCZ version 4.x.x (it doesn't really matter, we need to be able to play our games)

I will come back to this later. Start for the tournament will be probably Sunday and I will announce the rounds then :)

Hi all,

As we process in the league I see the matches taking place  8) 8)

I got a message from Dan about how precisely the scoring works:

  • the best player of 'this' league.
  • the best knight of 'this' league.
  • the best robber of 'this' league.
  • the best monk of 'this' league.
  • the best farmer of 'this' league.

With the best player, this requires winning the most matches and earning points for that (not your scoring points, but two points a winning match, 1 point a tie)

The other categories: The best knight, robber, monk or farmer are your total points from each match in this league.
I'm keeping them in a small web app I created to keep the scores, I will give an detailed overview after every round is over. So you all can see on how many points you're standing currently :)

I've had my first 2 matchmakings and I'm totally in hope you all to  O0

ps. The image does only contain the matches till Friday evening.  :))

Hi there,

I'm terribly sorry for reacting that slow.  Life has been very hectic for me, lately (starting up my own architects' practice, designing my own house & first baby on the way,...) and at the moment I finally tried to log in Carcassonne Central...well...then it was down.

Anyway, if i'm not too late...i would like to try to play these games as soon as possible.  Wednesday evenings, around 19:00 till 21:00 CET usually work out the best. 

PS: I'm only used to play with JCloisterzone if that's possible for you folks?

Greetings,
Thodekey
