There are some interesting maps this week. The Scream has left gravity and 17 strength drones that are held back by decayable terrain. Also, Nude, Green Leaves And Bust is an experimental map, but it does not have any emitters that can break to the surface through decayable terrain. Lastly, Dora Maar Au Chat has down/left gravity and contains drones in a chamber that are connected to the surface, which may require drone evasion by the LS. But I have reviewed all the maps and have found them possible to complete! ;)

Also we are 1 day behind so this tournament might go an extra week if people see fit. I am open to suggestions :)

Here is the tournament update. As it stands, I am letting the tournament go one week longer since this tournament started late and no one objected to my suggestion of doing it :)

So, I've got to say, I can't touch the scores or times logged by "The Master."  Would you post some screenshots...esp. on "The Scream."

[Wheatmidge]

I wasn't able to match the masters score on The Scream. But my start of the level was very efficient, I let the high health drones out before I started building anything and used drone evasion to ignore them until I capped their gateway and emitter. Which was before the 1 minute mark. I did not handle the break out of the fast drones as efficiently. I just slowly pushed them back. 7 minutes does seem doable.

That's one to study, Wheatmidge!  Impressive.  Thank you.

I will not be here (near internet) on Sunday when the tournament ends, so some else will need to post the tournament results :)

Looks like it's Wheatmidge...

[Wheatmidge]

Really?! I thought the master beat me by quite a bit on most of the maps. Ummm, I'm heading out of town until thursday and I don't have time to set up the new maps before I go, can I leave it for second or third place to take over for this week.
Sorry for messing with the system.

[deety42]

Sure, if The Master is out there, please post a new tournament soon.  If no one's posted one by later tonight East Coast US time, I'll post one for the week so we can try to get back on schedule.
