Normally, Sirius would have to discard, as he's over ten tokens - but given that this is endgame, it no longer matters.

lilith2013 takes a pair of matching Sapphires.

And with that, Round 22 is over. Please stand by for final scores.

[Farren]

Congratulations to Snakes for winning Game 9 of Splendor!

GAME OVER.

Final scores:

1st Place: Snakes, 16 VP.
2nd Place: Sirius9121, 10 VP.
3rd Place: lilith2013, 8 VP
4th Place: Save The Dragons, 3 VP.

[Farren]

With that, post-game discussion is now open. Players who were in Game 9 are now free to sign up for the game again if they wish.

Note - I'll be V/LA on Friday, July 2nd; that'll be my tenth wedding anniversary. We currently only have one person signed up for Game 10, so I won't be starting the timer right away - but even if we do get more signups right away, I won't be starting the game until the 3rd.

Players that pre-inned for Game 10 will have 48 hours to confirm, as usual.

[Nancy Drew 39]

/confirming in for game 10

[Sirius9121]

/in 10, congrats to Farren ig?

[lilith2013]

congrats farren!

gg all and gj snakes! The endgame snuck up on me there

/prein for game 11 if that’s ok

[Snakes]

Good game! Out of curiosity, what's the fewest number of turns it's taken someone to win?

And congratulations Farren!

[Farren]

Nancy's confirmed for 10; Sirius is confirmed for 10; lilith is pre-inned to 11.

So far, Round 22 is tied for fastest victory; Pooky won Game 4 in 22 rounds.

And thanks everyone. We've got two in, which means starting the timer. Adding an extra day and a few extra hours to make sure I'll be available when it runs out.

Game 10 will start when this timer expires: (expired on 2021-07-03 17:00:00).

[Farren]

In the event that we play with two, the following changes will be made.

1) The Token Market will start with

four

of every gem instead of starting with seven. (Gold still starts at five.)
2) The Noble Market will start out with only three Nobles instead of starting with five.
3) Activity. AutoPlay will

not

automatically invoke at the usual time. If a player takes too much time (48 hours + 24 hour prod, or 48 hours if they run out of prods), the opponent who did not run out of time may choose what happens. They may: offer extra time (opponent's privilege as to how much, with moderator retaining right of veto), invoke AutoPlay, or demand a draw.
If the opponent offers at least 48 hours, and the out-of-time player does not return by the modified deadline, the opponent may if they wish declare victory due to player abandonment.

[Nancy Drew 39]

I would much prefer we extend the deadline in that case until we get 4 players.

[Farren]

Is your preference due to the activity changes, the game changes, or both?

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

I can play if no1 wants the spot

[Farren]

With three players, I would revert the activity rules to the originals. The modified rules would only apply to a two-player game specifically.

For game mechanical changes to the 3p version: Token Market gets five of each Gem; Noble Market gets four Nobles total in a 3p game.

[Farren]

With the timer run out, it looks like we've got three total. However, there's a question as to whether or not Nancy's willing to play a 3p game.

So here are the choices.

1) Start up the game with 3 players. (Activity rules revert to normal - 48 hours to play, 24 hour prods, AutoPlay invokes as normal).
2) I join the game as player 4. (I will need to make some changes for this to work: players who draw a

face-down

card from a Tier Deck would have that card publicly revealed; the decks would be public knowledge; we'd use dice tags to randomize draws so that I don't know what's coming up next.)
3) Someone else signs up as player 4. I'd be willing to extend signups another 48 hours, but no more.

If all three players agree to 1), we'll do that.
If all three players agree to 2), we'll do that.
If a fourth player signs up before this timer expires, we'll run a 4p game as normal.

(expired on 2021-07-05 17:00:00)

Votes can be made in public or in private. Voting for 3) doesn't require stating it; that'll be the default.

[Farren]

To clarify: if the timer runs out without getting a fourth player, I will start the game with three. I will not join the game unless all players are explicitly okay with that.

I still strongly prefer 4 but at least with 3 players it’s playable.

[Snakes]

I can play if no1 wants the spot

[Farren]

And we have four. Thank you everyone.

I'm going to be busy for most of today, so will be starting this up in about twelve hours or so. As both Pooky and Snakes have indicated they'd be willing to yield to other players - if anyone else /ins, I will add them to this game instead of game 11.

[Farren]

Game setup is now in progress. Please stand by.
