All -
Sorry about the delay, in starting the next tournament. I have now chosen a (new) theme after Lord Farin told me that Units had allready been chosen as a theme, and 5 maps are ready for you guys to start pounding.

Few usefull links:

Be aware that the theme 'Units' was previously chosen (cf. this (http://knucklecracker.com/forums/index.php?topic=7410.0) topic). Therefore, I suggest you pick new maps.

Found a interesting map, Voyager Small/High and Medium/High, but I think its too hard to put as part of the weekly maps.

Interesting for sure; I managed to beat the Small/High.

Yes, I was more playing for the victory rather than the time. I have always liked the Impossible Code maps topic the best. Time critical playing is not what I'm best at.

Though I just managed to beat your time on The Event by about one minute  :)

To be fair, on harder maps time critical playing is even more important - the strategies that help you win easy maps very quickly are often the same strategies you'll want to use on harder maps.

True of course; but I generally can't push myself to the concentration to play an easy map at the top of my game.

Thanks. You might want to take the time to read the little text below my avatar.

Updated again.

I dont usually read the text under avatars. Lord_Farin is leading in most maps, but is down 1 map at the moment.

Lord_Farin took the lead from me, by almost 10 minutes, and 8k points. I went through most of the maps one more time and I am now slightly in the lead, but it should still be possible to beat me.

SmileyCoder, If you try The Event again, I am sure you can improve your score and time. I am sure you forget to take one crystal or NanoChip or Remnants.

See rules section D6:
QuoteNo two maps in a tournament can have the same combination of size/complexity

I don't see why it should matter personally - also, medium and low complexities are almost always pathetically easy.
