a simple map, with no Terps, but you'll understand why ;) use sprayers to collect AC and guppies to transport it back to base. No tricks!

Twas a great moment to gaze upon the smiling face of a narcissistic cousin...

If, perhaps, 1000 or so years once removed...

And - Such a prolific map maker as he... deserves a fitting monument in honor to his efforts...
Good Show Cousin!!!!  To produce such an image in a CW3 map... Astounding!!!
Another unique and fun experience - in this case - a chance to explore the limits of moving and using anti-creeper...

Must confess the reference to "P A C 1004 VICTORY" remains an unsolved mystery...
Perhaps??????????

Perhaps cousin - some of our distant forebearers met then or since...

A.D. 1004. This year came Sweyne with his fleet to Norwich, plundering and burning the whole town. Then Ulfkytel agreed with the council in East-Anglia, that it were better to purchase peace with the enemy, ere they did too much harm on the land; for that they had come unawares, and he had not had time to gather his force. Then, under the truce that should have been between them, stole the army up from their ships, and bent their course to Thetford. When Ulfkytel understood that, then sent he an order to hew the ships in pieces; but they frustrated his design. Then he gathered his forces, as secretly as he could. The enemy came to Thetford within three weeks after they had plundered Norwich; and, remaining there one night, they spoiled and burned the town; but, in the morning, as they were proceeding to their ships, came Ulfkytel with his army, and said that they must there come to close quarters. And, accordingly, the two armies met together; and much slaughter was made on both sides. There were many of the veterans of the East-Angles slain; but, if the main army had been there, the enemy had never returned to their ships. As they said themselves, that they never met with worse hand-play in England than Ulfkytel brought them.

But somehow, I question if his cryptic puzzle can be so easily resolved...

Why do I feel like I've seen this face on "Wanted" posters?

Or maybe they were "Help Wanted" posters.

Or maybe the poster said "Not Wanted". I really wish I had learned to read English back when I was in school.

Thanks for the face!
