[Nancy Drew 39]

play B - 15

to bring me up to 15 pts and a 3 way tie.

[Farren]

Nancy Drew 39 receives a discount of 1 Emerald 3 Rubies 1 Onyx due to cards in play.

She pays 1 Onyx 1 Gold (subbing for a Ruby) to play B-15 directly from the Market. She gains

2 VP

and a permanent 1 Diamond discount.

Nancy Drew 39 has reached 15 VP

. Endgame is triggered for a third time. If there were any doubts about the game ending this round, let them be dispelled.

B-15 would be replaced, except that with Nancy Drew 39's turn, the round has ended - and thus the game comes to a close.

Now tallying final scores and announcing a winner. Please stand by.

[Farren]

We've had ties before, but never a three-way tie for first. The tiebreaker is clear: number of cards in play, with

fewer

cards being better. Nobles do not count as cards.

Charles510 has 15 VP and 10 cards in play. (N-3 doesn't count.)
lilith2013 has 15 VP and 13 cards in play. (N-1 doesn't count.)
Cheery Dog has 8 VP; cards in play are irrelevant.
Nancy Drew 39 has 15 VP and 7 cards in play.

Which means ...

Congratulations to Nancy Drew 39 for winning Game 12 of Splendor!

Game over.

Final scores:

1st: Nancy Drew 39, 15 VP (7)
2nd: Charles510, 15 VP (10)
3rd: lilith2013, 15 VP (13)
4th: Cheery Dog, 8 VP.

[Farren]

We have one pre-in for game 13: the worst. He'll have 48 hours to confirm his slot.

Game 13 will start no sooner than 48 hours from the top of the hour, even if the game fills early. ((expired on 2022-02-05 23:59:59))

[the worst]

Sorry, I'll need to out atm. If things easy up soon I'll in again.

[Charles510]

Congratulations Nancy!
That was a great game, so exciting with the tie at the end.

/in again

[Farren]

I am going to make one change to the activity rules. Players must finish their turn with a legal, complete move (including discards if necessary and picking a noble if qualified for more than one) by the time the 48 hour timer finishes, and will be charged an extension if they do not.

I recommend that players take their turns in the first 24 hours of the timer to minimize the risk of being charged an extension if they make an illegal move.

I will also formalize the expectations I have of myself for processing speed and response. These aren't changes per se - I've pretty much always used these standards - but now they're in writing.

Spoiler: The mod's timers

- Normally, I will respond to player questions, process player moves, and notify players of illegal moves within

12 hours

. I may send PMs notifying a player of an illegal move up to 30 minutes after posting about it in-thread.
- If I declare V/LA, or if we are in an official holiday (per post 2, my 12 hour deadline increases to

24 hours

.
- If I know I will be unavailable to act for longer than 24 hours, I will pause the game (and the timer). If I am unexpectedly unavailable to act for longer than 24 hours, I will retroactively pause the timer.

If I exceed these deadlines, and as a result of doing so a player goes over their timer, I will count it as a mod error and not charge them an extension.

- Player-requested start-of-turn PMs will be given with 30 minutes of the start of their turn. If I am late sending this PM, I will extend the player's timer accordingly and will not charge an extension.
- Player-requested nudge PMs will be given up to 6 hours before or after their scheduled time.
- Prods will be sent within 30 minutes of deadline expiring, or will be sent as a Nudge/Prod combo up to 12 hours before the deadline expires.

[Farren]

Also, a change to the signup rules. When the 48 hour game-start timer expires:

If 0-1 players, I will extend the timer.
If 2-3 players, I will extend the timer unless at least 2 players want to start.
If 4 players, I will start the game.

Extension for the sign-up timer will be 120 hours, making a week total in signups. When this timer expires:

If 0-1 players, I will put the game on hiatus.
If 2-4 players, I will start the game.
