Stately Play Decathlon thread

It would have been 72 if I hadnā€™t managed to take the military 5 point bonus from him in the last turn. Jammatal just killed it.

I had 4 6-cost developments. Focused on production worlds, mainly rare and novelty since that was the goal. So the Merchant Guild gave me 10 pts. The Pan Galactic Hologrid gave me 10. I had 3 prestige at the end, so that helped. Good game.

exactly the same 67 points! :grin:

We mustā€™ve had the same tableau.

In case it wasnā€™t obvious, this was my first ever game of RftG.
But, maybe itā€™s worth figuring out. Anyone else need a kids table?

no :smirk:
i was strong in military (12) and specialized in X chromosome uplift worlds.
two 6-devs for 12 (New Galactic Order) and 14 (Uplift Code) points.

How did this game come along?

Still going, albeit slowly. @whovian223 has two more cards to fill his tableau, and thatā€™s the closest game ender I can see.

Are we almost a wrap on this? Keen to see where we ended up :slight_smile:

Iā€™ve got all the charts and stuff made up, just waiting for the last table to come in. I didnā€™t want to post the final standings if the league table wasnā€™t complete.

i must be blind because i canā€™t find the result of table 1 :thinking:

i scrolled up and down but dā€™oh.

We may or may not still be duking it out :slight_smile: given the nature of the tournament I was planning on revealing the final standings all at once

After 9 months, 4 days, 18 hours and 3 minutes we have come to the end of our grand decathlon. To paraphrase King Gustav of Sweden at the inaugural Olympic decathlon, our goal was to find the greatest athlete in the world. While the results are really no indicator of athletic prowess, we sure did find some good board gamers and a whole bunch of fair and sporting play.

For the last time, and without further ado, here is the final standings.

So a hearty congratulations to myself for taking the top spot! I really do wish it was someone else so I could wax hyperbolic about their achievement. I think it would be somewhat conceited to say those things about myself. That being said, I am secretly very pleased with the result given the intense challenge of the competition.

Our final podium:

:1st_place_medal: Snotty128
:2nd_place_medal: @SleepingGiant
:3rd_place_medal: @irishdomer08

(I canā€™t help but feel those medals should be a bit bigger and more dramatic)

Iā€™d also like to commend our 4th place finishers. @Hardco, @JammaTal and @Baelnor. Itā€™s a credit to how tight the competition was when the final result was that close.

A big thank you to everyone who has taken the time to post their game scores. Iā€™ve collated all of those scores into a table and made a fun, alternative final standings based on those scores. I think the results from this are slightly less accurate due to differing player numbers and options at the different tables, but it was a worthwhile exercise to collect the data anyway.

Rather than congest this thread with 11 more tables Iā€™ve simply added them all to imgur for anyone who might be interested

(Iā€™ve also got this data as a numbers file, Iā€™ll edit this later after I figure out how to upload it)

As a final thought, I just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who played in this tournament. Youā€™ve all made this experience an absolute pleasure. All Iā€™ve had to do is a little bit of admin to keep things moving, everything else has run so smooth.

Iā€™ll add some thoughts to the decathlon ideas thread about things Iā€™ve learnt from this tournament, with a view to building these lessons into a Stately play championship format. I donā€™t want to clog of this thread with those musings.
