what about soldat? You guys finish your matches with him? I'd like to progress to the knockout rounds soon. need soldat to post his results and the results of the gwill/drelbs game.
I won versus Soldat. Again the Tablet was key, I think. Good game! Is our group done now? Who progresses? I won two games. Do I move on?
yes if you won two you're moving on. I still haven't heard from the last game in my group which determines whose second seed but the rest of the bracket is ready... calling Gwill and or drelbs! Who won?
Haven't heard back on my invite to gwill2112... I'm available for the next 8 hours, please feel free to invite me! (Time to write some app music, I'm waaaay behind... for Pitman and an unnamed game in case anyone is interested...)
Is it too late to sign up? I'd like to join the tourney if possible. Everyone feel free to add me to GC as well for battles in general. (Diligence)
Still playing gwill2112, we're slow. Chances are I'll lose. Game would be over faster if those darn notifications were working and let me know when I'm supposed to take a turn.
The notifications have been working for me, but seeing how they weren't working so well for me in the past, I don't doubt it! Are you aware that the spinning triangle at the upper left means you have a turn in another game? I wish it would actually say "you have a turn in your game with ..." like Carcassonne does, but it's better then nothing.
Yup. I know about that one from the last time it was brought up. I've been checking for new moves about every 2-4 hours during waking hours...
I should be on a little after 3pm PST to finish out our game if your available. Thanks for the clarification on the spinning triangle, I thought it just meant loading. I thought the notifications were off because on several occasions on our current game, I would respond with my move immediately after receiving your notification(and others) and have to wait 5 minutes or more for your turn again. Sometimes your green light was on, sometimes off. I just picked up Carcassonne over the weekend(Yeah...lagging, but I just finished up some games to delete and it was one of the next in line on my wishlist backlog), and am trying to figure it out because all I feel like I am doing is connecting tiles without understanding how I am being score(or what I'm even doing for that matter with the game in general). Sorry for being off-topic, but I'd appreciate any tips that would help because I see myself putting a lot of time into it.
OK, I'll be back at 3PST. Re: Carc - you're budgeting your meeples to make points - try to use them as much as possible, but don't run out if you can avoid it! Cities are worth double points (plus shields) but only if they complete. Roads are only worth one per tile, usually you're only going to go for those if they're a few tiles long, or if you can drop a tile and complete it that turn. Farmers get stuck there the whole game, so either get them out early (and build to cater to the farmer) or wait a bit to see where they'd be valuable. Keep in mind that you can put people in a road/city/farm and connect them to other people's roads/cities/farms to share the points! Finally, feel free to place tiles so that people can't complete their cities/roads or connect a good farm - the iOS version is great in that it will show an X on unplayable spots as you preview your play (and you can check the tiles left in the bag to see what's left at any time...) Did I miss anything?
