Hello Hester:
Welcome to the site!! No need to hone your strategy before playing online. We are all friends here. You would likely beat me handily.
Actually. I do not play on BSW, but I do play on xBox Live.

Thanks for the kind words, hester. You can also contribute to the tile-making - just post a description of the tile you want in the thread you reach by clicking on the link in my signature - if you want to  It might take a while, but I will get to the tile eventually (no more than a month usually). |

Guess I haven't introduced myself yet either... I'm Australian, and probably youngest member here (still in school!) I love this site and all of the members here, even though I don't post much. If you haven't seen me, I've just come back from a long holiday...

Not sure if you're the youngest. I'm also still in school - 2nd year of college which makes me 19 years old. Been playing Carc since HS graduation - ok couple of days before but close enough. |

well I'm glad this game actually has appeal for both young and old. Wasn't trying to make a personal attack in any way, my apologies if you took what I said as such. I'm pleased to have a regular gaming group, though Carc seems to only make it out about once a month.

So I just found this thread today. I guess I've introduced myself a couple of times, but I thought I'd do so officially, here for everyone. Perhaps it will also revitalize this post and encourage other new people to post here as well. My name is Chris Korfmann (35) and I grew up and spent most of my life in Pennsylvania, but am currently living in North Carolina with my wife and our son. We are expecting a girl in about three weeks. My wife and I have been married for two years and we met at Liberty University in the music department (I went back to school at 30, she is several years younger). She is a violinist and I am a vocalist. We work together in residential childcare and live part of the time with several teen-age girls. It is very stressful at times, but I am assured that it is very rewarding... I guess we'll see.  I have Pam from The Office to thank for my Carcassonne obsession. My brother-in-law was reading a bio for Jenna Fischer, the girl who plays Pam on the American version of The Office. In her bio, it stated that she likes to play board games and listed Carcassonne. He wondered what that was and looked it up. He thought it looked interesting and bought it for his wife's brother for his birthday. Their family played it and liked it and they eventually brought it over to our house and our family really enjoyed it also. One day while browsing FLGS, I found a Carc base game and a few expansions. I didn't know they had expansions and really liked the idea, so I picked up a few (P&D, Count, King & Scout). When I got home, I decided to look online and see what other expansions there were. When I read about Creativity, we started talking about all the possibilities and I began looking for ideas online. I landed on Carc Central and the rest is history... |

Good idea about the introductions. I totally forgot to ever post one. At least if I did, it wasn't on this forum. My name is Derek Whaley (most people seem to call me just Whaley...see Whaleyland). I am 26 and a freelance historian, royal genealogist, wannabe archivist, obsessive LEGO collector, perpetual student, certified secondary teacher, hopeful game designer, and am stereotypically unemployed. I grew up in the San Lorenzo Valley in Santa Cruz County, California. I went to undergrad and credentialing at Point Loma Nazarene University in San Diego, CA, and went for my masters degree at Swansea University in Wales. I currently live in Mesa, Arizona at my girlfriend's parents' house. Yes, I know, it is indeed very weird. I have no job currently, but am selling old Fisher Price toys on eBay with my girlfriend and that is supplementing my income fairly well. I am taking some community college classes in the fall to defer loans a while longer, so that helps keep things cheap. Basically, I am trying to get my masters thesis done as soon as possible so I can get a job and get out of this crazy house. But, until then, I guess I will just keep trying to escape to CarcCentral and the numerous other websites I frequent.

I feel your pain... kind of. I'm living with my father-in-law half the time. It's not that bad though.
By the way Joff, I really like the Carc Card too! I want to be #11! (though I doubt I'd make the top 50 players in the world...)
