So close! 37 points, but I seem to be a little faster. Maybe calculation error? Anyways, I could not quite get it. Oh whel. maybe next week. :)

[Alwego]

lol :D

This is funny :-)
But we don't know what is most important. Maybe time ;)
Regulations don't tell us that :?

[UpperKEES]

Heheh! :D That was quite a battle in the last few hours....

It's the total score that counts:

The winner (best combined score) gets to pick next weeks theme.

The difference between total score and total time is normal: gaining 1 second on a fast map will give you more points than gaining 1 second on a slower map, due to the logarithmic score formula. This means your total time can be faster while your total score is less.

For now we are sure that Alwego became second, which means he can pick next weeks theme + maps, so please start thinking about that!

I will calculate and post the totals for everybody later on today, because I don't have time now.

I overlooked it. Good for me :]

I think about date of birth people from "The World's Billionaires" list. ( http://www.forbes.com/lists/2010/10/billionaires-2010_The-Worlds-Billionaires_Rank.html ).
After 4-5 hours I give the map, just back home and look for something more than 2-3 minutes.


btw. Yeah, second again! (best of the rest) :]

I'm not sure if you can find the dates of birth at that site....

This is link only for rich people. Google can tell us when they was born :) (check msg)

I find it funny how Fisherk is like, always 3rd place whenever I go check a map's score. I don't think he gets mad about that though, Cuz 3rd place is good compared to my times.............

(sorry for the running lingo ;D)
When I go to run a race, being at the age level I am (I am a sophmore going against people as old as seniors in high school), I do not expect to get first. Expecially at races where I am running against hundreds of people. But what I do, is set goals for myself, like last race my goal was to keep up with the other teams #1 runner. About half way through though, he got ahead of me, and remains the only sophmore in the league right now faster than me. :)

But what I mean, is to set goals for yourself and do  ;Dnot always expect to win. You can surely appreciate your times when your done, and who knows, maybe you will get in the top three. ;)

It's actually Fish who has beaten my scores often lately, even on my own maps. He's rather busy now, but I'm sure he'll join us again when the running season has come to an end. He's a good example of someone who is happy with gradual improvements and his gameplay definitely became as good as mine. I just happen to have more time available at the moment.

Yes, when cross country is over, I will have a few more hours in the day than before, and then I can get back to beating you! ;D :P

This is a little random, but I just graduated, and I ran too. Just wanted to say hey to a few other runners =]. This summer I spent training for the Air Force Marathon, and that was awesome. But right now my feet are kind of a FUBAR (Broken left small toe, torn ligament, and a stress fracture in my right foot), so I'm out for a while. I'm going nuts from not running.

Another runner! :D

I know what you mean. During the the summer I had to stop for a couple weeks because my ill fitting caught up to me. My left ankle hurt when running any amount of distances, and was only getting worse, so I had to take some time off. I fixed that problem, but now I rolled my same ankle during practice. Now I am hobbling around with an ankle brace during practice to help it heal. Though I will not get to much into it, because I really started ranting here ;D. But I am again onto the road to recovery, but it is my varsity cross country team that I am worried about. We are dropping like flies from injuries. Here is what it looks like:

#1 Out, possibly for season
#2 doing fine (for now)
#3 Just rolled his ankle, out for at least one race
#4 Okay right now, but passed out 2 races ago because he did not drink enough water. The idiot had to be hooked up to an IV to pump water directly into his body :P (he did good in the race though).
#5 (me) Ankle injury that allows me to run, but not at my full potential >:(
#6 Just injured himself over the weekend playing football. He should be recovered in a week though.
#7 Fine

This list makes me feel very depressed, especially since when we are all not injured, this is probally the second best team in our school history. We have a real shot at going to state this year.

But any ways, I can definitely understand how you feel right now, I hate not being able to run. ;) And I can not wait until I run my first marathon, the longest distance I am doing right now is the 5k.

[UpperKEES]

I'll post my solution to a specific map on request.

Hey Fish, Inhale when your right foot hits the ground and exhale with your left.
It stops you from getting a cramp as fast if not fully.
It has something to do with the human body.  :-\
But it works!  ;D

These are mine. For the short ones I have shown my entire layout, and for the long ones, just my starting and/or setup. If you did anything different, could show how you did it on that map?
