Good to see the variety of players on this one. The MapMod queue got kind of stacked up on me, but I'll try to weigh in today.
"asmussen" leading the pack, "Atomicfrog" to place, and "Gu250" to show.

I must not be getting the picture on 2240 Talmud. My scores aren't reasonable considering the others. I'm looking forward to seeing what I'm missing.
I'm doing some map queue stuff right now, but will check later.
IIRC - that is one where I could almost get the DB up and running in less than 2:00. I eventually settled for a slower procedure, but will post back.
Maybe one of the Speed Merchants will see your post.
That's how I did "2240 Talmud".

I don't see any blasters. How did you keep the creeper and drones away while you built up enough reactors to support the dark beam? That's what took me so long to get started.
Use shields instead. Drones are not very clever.
Thanks, ea3401, I never seem to use shields as well as I should. I tried a combination of them earlier, but not the way you did. I'm still not very efficient at building energy, either - too impatient or impulsive, I guess, to keep from wasting it.
That is so impressive. I finally figured out to put the dark beam up top like you did (had been trying to do it from the right side dug in), and that bought me a few minutes, but my time is still more than double yours. Awesome.

Congratulations to Wheatmidge for taking top honors. I pass the baton and am standing by to see what you come up with.
Hey, Wheatmidge.
Just a reminder that you're up to post the next tournament.

I PM'd him earlier today, but still no response.
The gates are open for ANYONE to put together 5 new maps for this week's tournament. If/when the rightful person doesn't make it happen by noon (forum time) on Tuesday, any of us can post one: (Para D - sub-Para 7)

A.Rules:
Every competitor will have until Sunday evening at midnight (forum time (GMT - 5)) to set the best scores/times for these 5 maps, all linked together by their common theme, so just start playing!
The winner (best total score) gets to pick a new theme and publish the dates to be played before Monday evening at midnight (forum time).
This will ensure the winner doesn't have a major advantage and also makes sure that every player has 6 days to participate.
Last weeks winner is also responsible for determining next weeks winner by calculating/checking the total scores.
Each tournament will have its own topic (Created by the winner of the previous week's tournament) where players can post scores and discuss their progress.
B.Please note:
- It is not allowed for the same player to submit scores with different names. If done so, both names will be disqualified.
- Winners are calculated by highest total score, however, in the event that two players are tied in their scores, the lowest total time wins.
- When two players have the same total score and the same total time, the amount of individual #1 spots counts, followed by the amount of #2 spots, etc.
- When the tournament has been won by the same player as last week the runner up (#2) will pick the next theme to ensure themes & maps will be picked by different people.
- When this runner up already picked last weeks theme (same top 2 twice), the number three will pick the theme + maps
- When this number three already picked last weeks theme (same top 3 three times), the winner will pick the theme + maps again
I will keep this initial post up-to-date with a list of nominated themes and winners of kept tournaments.
C.Regarding calculating and posting the results of the tournament you won:
1. Of course the final results haven't been posted yet, but I'm sure the winner will know he has won by adding and comparing his scores.
2. Use Mopa42's Score Viewer (http://knucklecracker.com/forums/index.php?topic=7477.0) to get totals & export table
3. It's a tradition that the winner of a tournament posts screenshots of his solutions for others to learn from. Use the backspace key to create a screenshot; it will automatically be saved in your 'documents\creeperworld2_screens' folder. When posting click 'Additional Options' to be able to attach them.
D.Regarding posting next weeks tournament theme & topic:
1. When selecting the theme yourself just pick one from the list (see first post of this thread) or think of one yourself. Please make sure it will appeal to a wide variety of players.
2. When selecting the codes of maps to be played make sure these maps haven't been played before. I would also check if you're not posting any fools mate maps (maps that can be finished without engaging the creeper at all), (also, no impossible maps (undiggable terrain surrounding an emitter) :))
3. When entering the name of the new tournament topic, please use this format: "Weekly 5-Map Tournament - [theme title] - closing [date of next Sunday]".
4. Use Mopa42's Score Viewer (http://knucklecracker.com/forums/index.php?topic=7477.0) when posting all tournament data.
5. Please provide a link to this thread, containing the overview of themes, previous tournaments, players rankings and most important: the rules!
6. No two maps in a tournament can have the same combination of size/complexity
7. if a new tournament is not posted on monday before midnight (forum time), I will supply a tournament before noon (forum time) on tuesday, in the event that no tournament is created by noon (forum time) on tuesday, anyone can create the next week's tournament
Ok, I have an idea for a theme and a couple of the maps picked out. If nobody beats me to it, I'll pick out the rest of the maps, check them all to make sure they haven't been played by anybody, and post a new tournament in the next hour or two.
Thanks! Beginning to have withdrawal anxiety...
