Here's a metatheme: the theme is previous themes, so the map names are themes of previous code map tournaments. Well, "previous" might not be the best word, because I couldn't resist to make a self-reference ;D

So far it is some fun stuff - on to the next one.

Woo hoo! First to complete all of the boards! I know it won't last, but I'll enjoy the 1st place while I can. :)

Nice maps, Fun With Names is different from normal, this build is much worse position but c'mon.
If anyone has any suggestions for it would be very interesting. Good Luck

Here is a screen shot at about 1:23 - should show you how to get a foothold.

Hmm, seems like Florrat has no intentions of letting me get a easy win this week. Very impressive times.

Thanks! But last week I didn't have those intentions, either :P And I guess those tips from ea worked  ::)

Another week!

Am I the only one who happily starts building up and then only realizes there are phantoms on the map when the first wave rolls in? Time to reload...  Even worse when you do it several times on the same map.

Your score on Previous Themes is very good TheSmileyCoder. It took me multiple tries to improve it :) And even now it's not much faster...

Well you still have me beaten on every single map. I am impressed. Its nice to have a bit more competetion, I shall have to improve myself. Hopefully over the holidays I will have better time to make more then 1 or 2 attemps per map. Not sure it would help, some of your scores are quite a big bit ahead of mine.

For "Previous themes" are you guys attacking both pools at once?

No, I start attacking the left pool around 1:47 and the right pool around 2:24 (but then I have not finished attacking the left pool yet).

I would rather attack them the other way around, because now I had to wait several seconds in the end to pick up all the goodies in the bottom right corner, but then the fields in the right pool are pointed at you, which makes it impossible to nullify the emitter fast.

Thank you - I'll keep working on that one.
I was attacking the right Emitter from the left side (and the left Emitter at the same time).

The final scores are known. I don't know if Helper or TheSmileyCoder has to post the next tournament, because the previous tournament was posted by Helper, but should have been posted by TheSmileyCoder.

@florrat - you "ran the table" for the win. Very impressive - congratulations.

It is Smiley's turn - but I will have something ready to go if he is hung up at work again.

I would be very appreciative if you could step in for me. Thank you

OK - I'll have something by noon forum time.

"Bond Girls" - go for it!
