    Wow, game 2 is pretty derp.

    As for game 1, I think I'm pretty much locked in to second thanks to pence's luck with pampas (4 pampas!?). For some reason I had thought the top two would advance to the next round, but I just checked and it turns out this means I'll be knocked out. This didn't really affect my play, though, so it's not a big deal.

    It's also rather unfair that game 1 has five players and game 2 has three. This actually makes a big difference in a couple of ways - it's easier for people in game 2 to win, and it's also easier for them to get higher scores for the tiebreaking criteria.

    Well, it wasn't supposed to be so even, but players dropped out. I think the srs bizness of the grand prix was lost long ago. Just play some Hacienda.

    Yeah, that's what I'm doing. In any case, with regards to the srs bizness aspect I'm pretty much a lock to win the Grand Prix anyway.

    I think I played quite well in my game of Hacienda, but the current situation definitely confirms my thought that pampas is really strong.

    Only 4 animals left so our game will be over soon.

  • Yeah, pence getting four pampas made him invincible. Me making three stupid clicking errors made me very vincible.
  • Counting up the points again, I may have just made a terrible mistake ending the game. We'll see.
  • Clarification! Do I get one turn and then scoring, or do we all get the same number of turns? I mean is this my last go, or do I have one more after this?

    This is your last go, the game ends at the end of this round.

    No, I believe you have me beaten by two points, unless of course someone else gives me free water points.
  • Looks like the last turn

    *takes last turn*

    Wow...I did not make the top two but had a nice time playing with you all.
  • Yeah, I'm going to nab the iOS version of this game, it's solid. And very close, but I edged you out by three points.
  • edited October 2013
    Yep, rather close indeed. Good game.

    I would like to play in the final, but under Scott's current plan it will be a 1v1 game with the winner of game 2.

    Also, judging by what's going on in game 2, I think everyone in game 1 is better at Hacienda than everyone in game 2.

  • So the game 2 ended, and the score counter claims that I have most points. So I guess I won that game, by some stroke of luck.
  • Ok, I can't create games for you or anything. Play the finals, then I will tally up the final score and let the grand prix go out with a whimper. After that we should just play some Hacienda and such.
  • I'd like to play a few games of 3 or 4 player Hacienda. 5 players felt like a bit too much to me.
  • Alright, I made a game for the finals:

    Name: FRC Forum Finals
    Password: grandprix

    I'm also down for more multiplayer Hacienda just for fun.
  • Blame the pampas - I just won the FRC Forum Finals game against Apsup: http://www.spielbyweb.com/game.php?games_id=100830
  • That was fast.
  • Only two players so there were several times when we just took turns one after another in quick succession. That sped up the game considerably.
  • Yeah, we just happened to both be at the keyboard for two or three stretches of time this weekend, so there were a few occasions we just played in real time.
