Weekly 5-Map Tournament - Gravity - closing 25 Nov 2012

[SmileyCoder]

I find that maps with non-standard gravity are fun, because the way they are played can be quite different then "normal" maps. So this weeks theme is Gravity.
The numbers after the map are simply there to get a map with a gravity to go with the name :)

Best of luck to you all!

Smiley & Mopa -
My exports of Detailed Results have started showing up with bold blue for the high score and I don't know why.

Smiley - What settings are you using to get the graph you're posting?
Thanks.

Edit to show that I actually figured out my mistake - this is how it should look

[SmileyCoder]

I noticed that, but thought you were manually changing it, because you disliked the colour.

I use version 6, "Copy Detailed Results as BB table", "Bold Colors" Checked, "Top 3 per map" Checked

[Helper]

<Insert rude words!>

Bingo!

When you posted "Bold Colors", I realized what I had done.
The old shortcut to V.5 was still on my desktop and I started using that (for some unknown reason).

Do you know what "PICNIC" or PEBCAC" means?

[SmileyCoder]

I recall having heard "PEBCAC" before, but don't recall its meaning. It what I like to call an error 40. 40 being the average distance in cm between the user and the monitor.

[lurkily]

PERBCAK.

Problem Exists Between Chair and Keyboard - or user error, in short.

EDIT: To forestall the inevitable question, PICNIC = Problem In Chair Not In Computer.

My favorite was always the ID Ten-T error, or the 'Ten -T,' though.

[Helper]

;)
id10t - which would apply to my misspelling of PEBCAK. I guess I was thinking of '...Between Chair and Computer' (not Keyboard).

[lurkily]

Not a big deal - PEBCAC, PEBCAK, and PEBKAC variations are common.  Intel ran a PEBKAC advertising campaign once, but to what evidence people smarter than be could gather (who would have thought Etymologists worked with geek slang?) PEBCAK is the first documented use.

[rob3k]

Excellent idea for the theme.

Hope to get a few scores posted, but it will be a busy week!

[SmileyCoder]

A fresh set of scores this wednesday morning. 32 scores have now been submitted. I have been beaten by Helper on the first map, and I see that Wheatmidge has supplied a very impressive time on map 4.

Another set of scores this thursday morning. I see that Wheatmidge has really decided to move in for the kill. Will he break the winning streak? It certainly gets interesting!!

Great to see all the new faces (names) this week.

No one needs to replay game #1.
:)

[Helper]

LOL!
I just real carefully re-played #3 and managed to beat Wheatmidge's time...unfortunately, Smiley was playing at the same time.
Great score.
