History Tournament - Assassinations

[RandyTravis]

Hey, had a fun idea, dunno if it's been done before, but I don't think so.

Highest combined score of 5 maps wins, consolation prizes to highest scores per individual map. I'm about to go on a trip, but when I get back (wednesday or thursday) I'll compile the high scores and post winners.

Dates:
1. November 22, 1963
2. April 14, 1865
3. January 30, 1948
4. June 28, 1914
5. April 4, 1968

Not sure if anyone else will like this idea, but I think it's pretty cool. And props to whoever guesses the theme first.

*Edit* As Spiffen helpfully pointed out, links would make this better.

[SPIFFEN]

Made your list have links :

Dates:
1. November 22, 1963
2. April 14, 1865
3. January 30, 1948
4. June 28, 1914
5. April 4, 1968

( Hope the links work =P )

[RandyTravis]

Thanks Spiffen, I didn't think to do that.

Also, if anyone participating would enter in the group name History Tournament I think that would help.

[UpperKEES]

The group name is only applicable for individual Chronom maps, so that doesn't really matter. Adding up the scores for these 5 maps would work fine.

I might participate, so maybe you'll see my name appear for these maps.

Will you be participating yourself as well?

And any particular reason you picked those maps?

[RandyTravis]

Oh, nevermind on the group name then.

Well, the maps all have a common theme ;-).

Also, I've already done all of them, but only once each. I might replay later, dunno.

[UpperKEES]

Ah, I see: some of your presidents got assassinated.... Nice theme! ;D

[L'ythelle]

I picked up on that right away. Pres Kennedy was assinated on my birthday. I've already played that one.

edit: I played all the maps for a combined score of 40,543

(somebody has to come in last, right?)

[UpperKEES]

Okay, I gave it a first shot:

1. November 22, 1963      9160
2. April 14, 1865         9157
3. January 30, 1948       9740
4. June 28, 1914          9761
5. April 4, 1968          9592

Accumulative score:   47410

[RandyTravis]

Haha good job on figuring out the name.

So far it's just UpperKees and I. He is clearly dominating, I haven't figured out my score yet, something around 8500 for most of them.

Ghandi was particularly brutal I thought.

edit: my scores

1. November 22, 1963      8484
2. April 14, 1865         8544
3. January 30, 1948       8403
4. June 28, 1914          8194
5. April 4, 1968          8528

total: 42153. i did okay

[Fisherck]

I will join in,  just give me a day or two. School is really making it hard to keep up with all the things I normally do, but I got a three day weekend, so I should be able to catch up.

[Katra]

I'll give it a try. It'll probably take two or three days.
