Weekly 5-Map Tournament - Planets - Closing 2012-06-10

[Wheatmidge]

On Tuesday night or Wednesday morning (depending on where you are) there is a celestial event called the "Transit of Venus" that will not happen again until the year 2117. The path of Venus travels directly between the Earth and Sun and will show up as a small black dot over the Sun for about 6 hours.
To celebrate this the theme for this week is planets

Could I get someone else to post the score again please.

PS. I really like the way the Saturn map has a ring of rocks. It makes me think of the rings around the planet.

Mercury has me beat. Once the drones get out I get overrun.

Saturn has a few scores from a long time ago. (Kithros at 14 minutes and change; no others under 55 minutes.)

[Wheatmidge]

For mercury if you wall off the left emitter so it can't help break through you will have twice as long before you have to deal with drones.

Wow, Wheatmidge...great idea!

Could I get someone to post the scores please. And then post them again when the tournament ends.

I'm not sure when the tournament officially ends, but here are the scores so far.  Looks like no one managed to finish all the maps.  I'd love to know how anyone beat Saturn--in the distant past...If nothing changes by tomorrow morning, then I think I'm the winner...

Well; I just took 25 minutes off my old Saturn time.  :D Never came remotely close to surviving Mercury.  ::)
