Weekly 5-Map Tournament – A young woman named Bright - closing 04 Feb 2013

[asmussen]

Decided on a somewhat unconventional theme this week. Hopefully the maps are entertaining. I fiddled with the punctuation a little bit to try to get good maps, so make sure to be careful when entering the code names (Or cut and paste).

Very clever (but why does the name Nantucket come to mind?).

    There once was a man from Nantucket
    Who kept all his cash in a bucket.
        But his daughter, named Nan,
        Ran away with a man
    And as for the bucket, Nantucket.

:)

That's the one!
Thanks for reminding me.

This game has jumped off into a real barn burner.
Some nice scores out there.

Man this is fun. I wonder if there's any chance of getting video of some of the higher scoring players?

[Helper]

@Loyal - Glad you're having some fun.
Some of our players do the video trick and post a link for us. I've never been able to figure out how do that.

If a 'screen shot' would help, just tell me which game and approximately what time lapse you would like.

NOTE: Don't ask for anything on "In a relative way"...I don't do Experimental Weapons games very well.

Not going to actually play all the maps in this, but to give an idea, this is 'She set out one day' on small/high. It's not as meticulouos as I could have played (for instance I didn't load at all since I was trying to record it - though I did play through the beginning of the map about 2-3 times before actually recording it), and there were several mistakes I made - I think in theory a time could go as low as about 2 minutes for this map (not that I would expect anyone to play it meticulously enough for that).

I think you probably meant to set the video as 'Unlisted', but you actually set it as 'Private', so we can't view it.

[Helper]

Not sure why I can't view it, I used to be a 'Private'.

[Kithros]

Oops I did, I fixed it now (hopefully).
