Could you all confirm by squawking here or squeaking in my ear that you for sure would like to play four games of four-player TTA, followed by a playoff game for the four finalists?

If your name isn’t on this list, but you’d like to join in, please let me know! Squawk or squeak.

Questions Frequently Asked

Q: Are we using the expansion?
A: Yes! Use just the expansion, not the mix. Use digital rules, default timer.

Q: Is @tomchick interested in playing?
A: He would be interested.

Q: How does this work?
A: Games start every two weeks, and we play four four-player games.

Q: I will achieve such glory!
A: Please use questions. Glory goes to the player who comes in first. To determine the top four, we will use minor placings to break the ties. If there is still a tie, we will use most second places.

Q: What if there is still a tie?
A: There can’t be, by Fermat’s Last Theorem.

Q: Is that the one about circumferences?
A: No, that’s a different one.

Q: Are there any more questions?
A: Are there?

In. I’m going to be on holiday from Friday 20th - Friday 27th inclusive. I should be able to play just fine during this time but might be a bit less responsive.

I’m in the UK (currently UTC + 1).

Confirmed, I am so bad at this game

Squawk!

I might join one day, but I just bought the game and I’m still learning to play. ;)

Squeak!

Still in!

Wait, how did I get drafted into this? I only posted in the other thread to say I enjoy this as a game against the AI because I think it has issues as a multiplayer game. But I do support you guys playing it! Please use the forum to trash talk each other.

Oops, I misread “would be” from this:

e.g. “I would be interested in you talking quieter on your cell phone.”

I shall remove thee, @tomchick!

I think that only @porousnapkin hasn’t squawked or squeaked, but I’m sure he is interested.

So we can start!

I forget how we invite people in TTA. Do we need to exchange SSNs or IP addresses?

SQUAWK!

!

I like @rho21’s idea of using first place finishes to decide the top four, with minor placings as the tiebreaker. That’s a simple idea that still encourages us all to try even when behind.

I’ll write that up in post two, and get us started!

Could someone from the first game let me know when it has started?

Anyone have a different in-game name?

Use expansion cards only and digital rules and default timer.

Damn, I missed this, and I have the expansion! That’ll teach me to go to bed when you Americans are still awake.

I’m quite curious about this. Do tell!

At the “Create an account” screen I panicked and made the account under a different name, “aultridia”. Sorry for the confusion.

I’m chappers_UK, chappers had already been taken.

@geggis I wouldn’t be at all surprised if someone needed a sub at some point during this two-month tourney!

I have created the game for:
@Chappers (Chappers_UK)
@rho21
@RothdaTheTruculent (aultridia)
@porousnapkin

If you login hopefully you will see the invite / game! It’s set to auto-start, so the last joiner will be dropped right into the game.

EDIT: The game is called “porousnapkin’s game”
