Well but it matters if fairy is placed in previous turn or in current!

Do double Leipzig market tiles on completing a monastery count as one or two tiles? I ask this question because I find a contradiction between what is expressed on Wikicarpedia and carcopedia 1.7. Should it be treated like the German castles of the new version, thus counting as two separate tiles?
For street counting it is clearly indicated that it counts as a card.

- Meepledrone: Carcopedia 1.7 is reflects the latest official clarifications from 10/2015. WICA uses the same approach for the C1 pages (you count tiles) and uses the 2020 update for monasteries (and German castles for the sake of consistency) derived from the latest Halfling rules (you count occupied spaces).
- Meepledrone: Bottomline: You can use the approach you prefer. Off the record, I personally and robotically prefer the C1 approach since it is more consistent, that is, there are no special cases during scoring as in C2.

I have to admit that you were right 

[Meepledrone]

- Tin Man: Yes, I spent the night watching over the tile.
- Lion: Inspector, the witness is here!
- Scarecrow: Good evening! Thank you for stopping by.
- Tin Man: No problem. Anything I can help... (interrupted)
- Scarecrow: Liar! You stole the tile!!! 
- Tin Man: 
- Lion: You replaced it with a replica of the portrait from the Meeple Council Hall...
- Tin Man: How could have I done it?... I've paralyzed for 3 days.
- Scarecrow: How do you explain it was robbed while you where standing next to it?
- Lion: You have an ACCOMPLICE!
- Tin Man: WHAAAT?
- Scarecrow: We found this green ribbon next to the tile!!!
- Lion: Confess! It's YOURS...
- Tin Man: Yes, I use it to decorate my axe. How could you tell?  ... COME ON!
- Scarecrow: It must have fallen from his pocket....
- Tin Man: Pocket? What pocket? 
- Lion: I suspect that this guy is a heartless bandit.
- Tin Man: And you are a brainless scarecrow and you a cowardly lion!
- Scarecrow:  Is our cover is blown?
- Lion: (shaking)

[Meepledrone]

- Dorothy: What is all that fuzz?
- Snowman: The police officers are questioning Tin Man.

- Dorothy: Do they really suck that much?

- Dorothy: Okaaaaay, let's see todays's question!


Question #13: Santa Claus places this tile. What is the highest number of points each player can score after deploying meeples from the city of Carcassonne? Just in case anyone is interested, it is Yellow's turn.

[Meepledrone]

- Danisthirty: What did you learn yesterday?
- Dorothy: Uhmmm... That the Count is very shy?
- Danisthirty:
- The Grinch: Mwahahaha! Not a chance.
- Dorothy: Was he playing hide and seek?
- Danisthirty: NOOOO... Didn't he? 
- The Grinch: Someone bribed him... 
- Dorothy: How could you tell?
- The Grinch: He spent the whole day in the cathedral praying for forgiveness I daresay!
- Danisthirty: Come on!
- The Grinch: The castle or market districts are far more fun! 
- Dorothy: I think you are making it all up!
- Danisthirty: You doubt it? 
- The Grinch: I love to sow the seeds of doubt in your little wooden heads. 
- Dorothy: (to Danisthirty) This is a dejà vu, right? 
- The Grinch: (Storming away) This is intolerable! I'm off... Some Meeple Meeples need to be kicked in their butts, both front and back.
- Danisthirty: Now we recovered our inner peace for a while, let's see the next question!
- Dorothy: Are you ready, Toto?


Question #14: After Danisthirty places this tile, how many points does each player score, if any?

[Meepledrone]

- The Grinch: Well, well, well!
- Fir Tree: (a bird chirps)
- The Grinch:
- Dorothy: What's up?
- The Grinch: The Fir Tree just got a tweet!
- Dorothy: How is that unusual?
- The Grinch: Really?... I see, you are also on Instaplant and Plantagram, right?
- Dorothy: Nope, on Treenstagram!
- The Grinch:
- Dorothy: 
- The Grinch: This reminds me I have a message for you! 
- Dorothy: (in a low voice) I feel nothing good may come from this...


Question #15: The Yellow Messenger landed on a dark space. As a result, Yellow  receives the message shown by
The Grinch. How many points does Yellow score for this message when applied to this feature?

[Meepledrone]

- Dorothy: Hello, officers!
- Scarecrow: Identify yourself!
- Lion: Hello, Dorothy!
- Scarecrow: Do you know her?
- Lion: Yes, she invited us to cookies yesterday.
- Scarecrow: Sure? I'm very good at remembering faces.
- Snowman: Seeing is believing. 
- Dorothy: Crispy crackers!... Er... Any news about the missing tile?
- Scarecrow: Yes!
- Lion: No!
- Scarecrow: We know nothing yet... (to Lion) Keep looking over there, I will look around here.
- Lion: OK... Hope I don't find any fleas. They are soooo scary. Ciao!
- Snowman: This is so reassuring... 
- Dorothy: Indeed, indeed...


Question #16: The Snowman places this abbey on behalf of Blue. How many points does each player score?

[oldbonz]

is there a specific rule for spiel tiles?

[NGC 54]

The red meeple is a big meeple?

[Meepledrone]

- Meepledrone: Thanks for your question. No big meeples were involved in this question.
- Red 2: Why do people think I'm bigger than I really am?
- Meepledrone: I don't know. How old are you?
- Red 2:

[Meepledrone]

- Yellow Robber: This is not fair.
- Red Messenger: Yes, we feel discriminated.
- Santa Claus: What's wrong with you today?
- Dorothy: But if you are the protagonists today! 
- Red Robber: Yes, at last. We have an opportunity to shine.
- Santa Claus: That's the spirit! 
- Yellow Robber: Well, they all look at us with suspicion.
- Red Robber: We work part time... an get only half of what we are entitled to. 
- Yellow Robber: Yes, but rounded up.
- Dorothy: Ohhhhhh... That makes a big difference.
- Red Messenger: Otherwise, the would go empty handed with the fairy point!
- Santa Claus: Well, guys! Therapy time is up. Remember, next time we will discuss messages and dark spaces.
- Red Messenger: (in tears) Thank you. Thank you!
- Dorothy: (to Santa Claus) I see, even special figures on the scoreboard deserve to let some steam out.
- Santa Claus: Yes. The scoreboard is a lonely place without a view. Thank you for your support.
- Dorothy: Any time.


Question #17: Santa Claus places this tile. How will manage Red and Yellow to be robbed the least points possible? How many points will each player score?

[NGC 54]

Whose turn is it? In other words, the messages should be considered?

[Meepledrone]

- Meepledrone: I'm not interested in the reception of messages in this case. Take your pick! Only the current scoring.
