Hey, had a fun idea, dunno if it's been done before, but I don't think so.

Highest combined score of 5 maps wins, consolation prizes to highest scores per individual map. I'm about to go on a trip, but when I get back (wednesday or thursday) I'll compile the high scores and post winners.

Dates:
1. November 22, 1963
2. April 14, 1865
3. January 30, 1948
4. June 28, 1914
5. April 4, 1968

Not sure if anyone else will like this idea, but I think it's pretty cool. And props to whoever guesses the theme first.

*Edit* As Spiffen helpfully pointed out, links would make this better.

How to make links

Thanks Spiffen, I didn't think to do that.

Also, if anyone participating would enter in the group name History Tournament I think that would help.

UpperKEES

The group name is only applicable for individual Chronom maps, so that doesn't really matter. Adding up the scores for these 5 maps would work fine.

I might participate, so maybe you'll see my name appear for these maps.

Will you be participating yourself as well?

And any particular reason you picked those maps?

Oh, nevermind on the group name then.

Well, the maps all have a common theme ;-).

Also, I've already done all of them, but only once each. I might replay later, dunno.

UpperKEES

Ah, I see: some of your presidents got assassinated.... Nice theme! ;D

I picked up on that right away. Pres Kennedy was assinated on my birthday. I've already played that one.

edit: I played all the maps for a combined score of 40,543

(somebody has to come in last, right?)

UpperKEES

Okay, I gave it a first shot:

1. November 22, 1963      9160

4. June 28, 1914          9761

Haha good job on figuring out the name.

So far it's just UpperKees and I. He is clearly dominating, I haven't figured out my score yet, something around 8500 for most of them.

Ghandi was particularly brutal I thought.

edit: my scores

1. November 22, 1963      8484
2. April 14, 1865         8544
3. January 30, 1948       8403
4. June 28, 1914          8194
5. April 4, 1968          8528

total: 42153. i did okay

I will join in,  just give me a day or two. School is really making it hard to keep up with all the things I normally do, but I got a three day weekend, so I should be able to catch up.

I'll give it a try. It'll probably take two or three days.
Power. Power! I must have more POWER!
