Note: it isn't really a top 5, because some buildings had to be cut out due to not finding out the exact completion dates / not being officially completed.

The winner (best total score) gets to pick next weeks theme. If we have the same winner as last week, the runner up (#2) will pick the theme. See here for the rules and an overview of themes.

Please post your progress/total scores in this topic to ease the calculations at the end of the week.

Good luck and enjoy! :)

I won't have much more time this week, but hopefully I'll find a moment to improve my unsatisfying score for map 1.

Wow... I can't even get the fools mate down to a reasonable time. This might be because I am spending sleep time playing creeperworld...

UpperKEES

Heheh! I know how it feels.... with lack of sleep my gameplay doesn't become better either....

To fight back the Creeper all you need is. . . What? Energy.

The score on map 3 can still be improved a lot I think.

I decided to give it another shot after a couple of hints for map 3 by hi and I got pretty lucky in the last hour of the tournament:

I'm sure I couldn't have made it without hi's tips for map 3, so I'll pick his theme for next week, which I will post after calculating all tournament results.

Rawr ;)  I didn't post a summation because I thought I'd take the time to actually refine my times, but then I never got around to it, so some of my times are really really high :)

Care to link/paste them here?  I don't see a thread about it, I'm curious how you could beat it in literally 25% of the time I took

Sure. It's kind of tradition that the winner posts his/her solutions (see previous tournaments), so I'll do that after I've set up next weeks tournament.

So here they are. Please feel free to post your own solutions as well or ask questions about mine.
