Yep when I was around 1500 I'd get like 5 points for winning a 5p-game with people around 1200. Lose 30-40 for losing a 2p game to someone in the 1250 range. It's cool though; I'm glad they have it so that there's some continuity but I don't worry about it at all.

I hope I'm not the one guilty of playing like a jerk. I actually try not to be a dick move dude all the time, but I know that I sometimes murder cities.
I've accidentally completed a few too due to misplacement.

It's a risk, for sure. That's where the diplomacy aspect comes in and makes 4-5p games really fun even if they are generally more luck-dependent. Block someone off and they might be inclined to get you back; you have to balance risk and reward. Sometimes it's the opposite where everyone is just doing their own thing and I'll feel obliged to at least slightly obstruct some 20-pt city that's about to be completed. But there are definitely 2-3 people who are way more aggressive than me about that stuff.
One tile placement can say a thousand words. :lol

:lol You guys have been a pleasure. Not even sure if the one guy I was thinking of is on GAF, but you really have to try to be a jerk constantly for me to notice cuz I like to mostly do my thing. I welcome the jerk's games because it's making me a better (though far jerkier) player.
It's like when 360 Catan hardened me and I'd demand 2-3 cards per trade request in friendly live games afterward. That single-handedly painted me as an asshole to the spouses in attendance.

Once you tried to take part I hoped for a junction to complete my road. :lol If I need one particular tile the game is used to screw me around.
gg, it was pretty close though.

Joey completed my megacity this afternoon but I don't know why. Maybe he didn't notice my second henchman and wanted to go for shared points.

Man, I just did that fuck up and completed someone else's city. Didn't realize they had 2 mans already living there. Can't believe I just donated 20 points to the enemy.
I also tried to set up a 5 player game. I think 4 is the sweetspot, but I wanted to try another 5.

Man, I've played like such a mean bastard in the last couple of games, trying to steal cities when they went over 2 or 3 squares. It doesn't seem to really improve your chances of winning though, as there is still a ton of luck involved anyway. Maybe I should try and deal out more niceness - it depends who I'm playing with really. Nastiness is cool against RL mates

I'm soooo getting an iPad for this game. Ok, maybe not solely for Carcassonne, but it's definitely a BIG reason for me. I really, really, really like the iPhone version, but a bigger screen in combo with hot-seat mulyiplayer, that's just pure sex right there.
Not sure on when to get the iPad though, can't really afford such a big purchase right now (student), but if i do have the money in 2-3 months... I'm afraid I'm going to regret it when the iPad Deux hits sometime spring '11 probably.
The Carcassonne iPad update could draw me in I think...
Edit: Anyone ever played the hot-seat multiplayer option on the iPhone btw? How do your friends/family like it?!

I totally missed that second guy. The whole time I thought I was slick and would split the points. :lolKarud said:

Just tied your record with about 10 pieces still to play. I think my last 7 or 8 tiles have all singe roads.AstroLad said:One of the longest single-man roads I've had:
Think I got about 20 road pieces that game because I didn't even use them all on that damn road. Desperately needs an inn.
Inns & Cathedrals and Traders & Builders for life. Love how traders and builders gives you reason to complete others' buildings rather than fucking them up. I also like how the trader gives you extra turns but you have to be really careful about where you use him.swoon said:

I haven't gotten any updates in my games today. Anybody waiting on me in a game? I'm wondering if they're all going slow (which is totally fine!) or if I'm broken or something.

Haha, 14 I think. It was also my best comeback. Down 38 after all tiles played, won by 5. Lucky draw to get that 7 pt cloister with the last tile of the game.AirBrian said:
All my games are about done so I could use some invites if any games are starting up. I'm on vacation starting tomorrow so should be available to do my turns quickly.

4 seems to be the sweetspot, but I'm down with 5. I really like 3.
Yep exactly. 3 types of goods that you get for closing cities that contain tiles marked w/ goods (even if you're not part of the city). 10 pts for having the most of each type. Pig you can place in a field and it makes cities worth 4 instead of 3. Builder you place on a road or city you already have a man in (even if shared) and whenever you add to that road or city after that, you get an extra turn right after.swoon said:
