I wanted to express my opinion on this.
It is necessary to add that the quiz questions revolve around official expansions. The author has already made many quizzes and many possible situations. It is not surprising that ideas are running out and it needs to be spiced up with something. I pay tribute to these ideas. The quiz is not something that HIG has under its thumb. So, the author has the right to use in his competition (quiz) what he deems best so as not to harm the contestants. The things he used are things that are available and it is possible to solve them.

I personally prefer fan expansions even in the quiz. It gives the quiz a certain zest. Take note that it is still just a game. Someone wants to entertain us so don't spoil it for them. And, if you mind the question, avoid the answers.

 Let's all go together to the final phase of this legendary quiz.
Gift us and surprise us with something new
Let ´s go SANTA

b) The placement of the spell circle tile requires Blue to move ghosts to it. What meeples can be moved so no opponent's meeples decrease their number of ghosts?  (1 point)

@Meepledrone: What meeples can be moved – Not ghosts?

No, I will not avoid the question. I have spent too much time answering the previous questions to do that.

P.S. I did not deny the author the right to use fan expansions in questions (it would be absurd to do so). But that does not mean that I have to be a fan of such questions. ::)

- The Grinch: (a bit annoyed) And the builder and the pig were originally meeples...

Pigs were in the old times meeples. But Chanchito has never been a meeple! Why is the Grinch reminding us that? Does the Grinch try to turn Chanchito into a meeple? Why would he do that? Is Chanchito a pig at all? :o

I think that Meepledrone is training us for mental Carcassonne (with no physical components), where players have to imagine the tiles, the meeples, the scoreboard, the tile positions... random.org can be used to solve the random tile-drawing, as players would be biased to imagine that they draw the tiles they like. The only disadvantage of mental Carcassonne is that it cannot occupy room in Willem's museum. And, of course, another disadvantage is the potential quarrels that could arise if the players do not remember the same tile positions...

- the meeple council does not make questions in the correct order anymore,
- participants even get to ask Advent Quizz questions and

@Challa007: I do not understand what do you mean here. The order of questions is correct, all of the questions having been posted on the same day (CET time) as their corresponding number. And what users save Meepledrone have ever posted Advent Quizz questions? I am confused. ???

What I mean is that normally,
question 1, 6 ,11, 16, ... is presented by the Gingerbread Man
question 2, 7, 12, 17, ... is presented by the Snowman
question 3, 8, 13, 18, ... is presented by the Santa Claus
question 4. 9. 14. 19. ... is presented by Danisthirty and
question 5, 10, 15, 20 and 24 is presented by the Grinch.
Questions 21 to 24 normally skip one of the presenters, because there is one too many....

But in this year's quizz, this order was completely disrupted....
In addition, Question 20 was NOT presented by the Grinch but by ........ well ...... WHO exactly?.... it seemed to me it that "someone" could have been a participant ...

Wow. I did not notice that. I think that you had to analyze the previous quizzes very closely to notice that...

Well, the only thing that is new this year is Chanchito. So it must be Chanchito's fault!

Of, Chanchito, what have you done?!
