Carcassonne Central: Advent Quiz MMXXIV
« on: November 29, 2024, 09:41:16 AM »
The wind blows... The fields around Carcassonne dance at its will. A distant bell toll can be heard...



Suddendly, an oinky voice resonates all over the empty landscape:
- Chanchito: (echoing) Has the Advent Quiz started yet?
- Tile 1: (from underneath) Will you shut up?
- Tile 2: How dare you disturb our beauty nap!?!?!
- Tile 1: What? You see? Now I will have to treat my whitening edges again...
- Tile 3: Uhhhhhh! That looks terribly terrible.
- Tile 1: :o
- Tile 4: Oh my! What a disaster!!!
- All tiles: (deafening chatter)
- Chanchito: Now I understand why the dragon cannot eat tiles... :-\
- The dragon: (spewing fire from the distance) Ho ho ho! (under his breath) 1... 2.... 3...
- All tiles: (all shut up abruptly)
- Tile 1: Hey you! I heard you...
- Tile 2: Shut up that snout of yours...
- Tile 3: I will kick you with my corner where it hurts the most...
- Chanchito: (stuttering) But I,... :o
- Chanchito: Erhhhh! Time to flee!!! (running away) Ciaoooooooo!
- All tiles: (deafening chatter goes on...)
- The dragon: (Sighing) Ahhhh! Ignorance is bliss... >:D
- All tiles: (deafening chatter goes on and on and on...)

Yes indeed!

For those unaware of what it is going on, I will just break it for you: Christmas is coming again!!!

In preparation of the coming events, here at Carcassonne Central, a lot is happening behind the scenes once again. The Meeple Council is in session discussing whether field separation discrepancies between C2 and C3 should be kept consistent with the zodiac signs...

This is just a smoke screen, because the real agenda for today is...

The Advent Calendar Quiz MMXXIV

Stay tuned, because on December 1st Fate will be knocking at your door... Will you be there to open? What surprises will it bring?

Ready or not, the clock is ticking! Can you hear it?

Quote
:red-meeple: Between the 1st and 24th December we will post a small Carcassonne scoring question each day (at a random time), to which the answer will be points scored by one or more players according to the question (and maybe some side questions). Each question will be presented by a member of the Meeple Council, who will indicate the number of expansions but will not participate as a meeple in the scenario itself. Here is a reference:
- Gingerbread Man     1 expansion
- Snowman2 expansions
- Santa Claus3 expansions
- Danisthirty4 expansions
- The Grinch5 expansions (or more, of course :o)

:yellow-meeple: When you know the answer, don't post it on this thread! :-X Because then everyone will know, and we don't want that. Instead, send Meepledrone a PM including the question number and your answer for that day. He won't respond to your PM (please don't be offended), but if you get the answer correct you will win one or more quiz points depending on the question.

:green-meeple: There's no cut-off date for any particular questions so don't despair if you miss any. You can even answer all 24 questions on Christmas Eve if you want.

:blue-meeple: Once Christmas and Boxing Day are behind us, the correct answers will be posted – one at a time – along with who won the points and total scores per participant. Contestants with the same number of points will be sorted by the time they took to respond.  This is where it gets really fun! :o :(y)

:black-meeple: The overall winner will be the person with the most points at the end of the quiz, but there is likely to be a small prize for everyone who answers all questions regardless of whether they manage to answer any of them correctly. It will be a surprise. O:-)

Any questions, please ask now. Otherwise, you can expect question 1 of 24 sometime on December 1st! O0

- The Grinch: Whaaaat? No points boost for players answering first again...
- Santa Claus: Nope. The response time will help resolve ties, but the winner will be the player who answers the most correct questions.
- Gingerbread Man: Of course, the faster the better...
- The Grinch: I hate the idea... Let's do it! >:D
- Chanchito: This is gonna be FUN! Yaaaay!!!! ^-^

- Gingerbread Man: Here we go with the first question...
- The Grinch>:(
- Gingerbread Man: (hashly) What?
- The Grinch: Are you trying to keep the participants busy with that?
- Chanchito: Ooooohhhhh! Is this a warm-up question? Let me see! Let me seeeeee!
- Gingerbread Man: You see? Not everyone is so unenthusiastic as you are... all the time!
- The Grinch: Well, not everybody shares my high standards of decorum and excellence!
- Santa Claus: (bursting into laughter) Woooooo Ho! Ho! Ho!...
- The Grinch: (frowning and in a low voice) What!?!?
- Chanchito: :o
- Santa Claus: Ho! Ho! Ho! Ha! Ha! Ha!...
- Santa Claus: Sorry! Ha ha! So funny! Woooooo Ho! Ho! Ho!...
- The Grinch: This is outrageous!!!
- Santa Claus: Ho! Ho! Ho! ...Best... Ha! Ha! Ha!...
- Santa Claus: Ho! Ho! Ho! ...Joke... Ha! Ha! Ha!...
- Santa Claus: (walking away) Ha! Ha! Ha! ...Ever... Ho! Ho! Ho!...
- Gingerbread Man: Ahem! Ahem! Shall we proceed?
- Chanchito: Yes! Yes! YESSS!
- The Grinch: (shrugging humiliated) OK.
- Gingerbread Man: Ahem! Ahem! Thank you! Let's go!!!



Question #1: The Gingerbread Man places this tile on behalf of Yellow and asks you to answer the following questions:
a) How many points does each player score? (1 point)
b) How many goods tokens will have each player after this turn? (1 point)
c) If this was the last turn, how many points would earn each player with their goods tokens? (1 point)

Notes:
* This question only uses normal meeples. No large meeples were used.
* No meeple is placed on the tile.

I suppose that, like in previous years, one is allowed to later edit one's answers in the case it occurs to one that one or more of one's answers are incorrect. Isn't it?
