Excellent fun!
It took a few restarts (and more than a few rude words), but very enjoyable.
Thanks,
H

The nasty surprise required a restart. The nice surprise was nice. I like presents.

I really enjoy maps with "Alternate victory conditions," which is to say NOT nullifying everything. This is the kind of stuff I wanted when Virgil was like "Crpl is made of wishes, guys, and all of yours get to come true."

In this way, Virgil is like Oprah. *Nod*

IMO, crpl is really well done. I've been able to code up pretty much everything I've wanted to, and the scripts are never more than about 50 lines. I like.

I have no idea how those top scores got posted, but I

attacked the red and blue target at about 5 O'clock, then worked counter-clockwise.

It is a functional solution, but you won't win any prizes with that method.

I just discovered this relatively old and underrated but totally AWESOME map and decided to bump its thread in order to highlight it for new players on the forum who seek challenge and excellent design.

Very challenging map with a brilliant and funny design! 10/10 Fav

Classic map. I really enjoyed it, working out the fastest way to win. There are not many maps where I've got a time so much better than ea3104 :)
