I should have known my 4 minutes wasn't going to stand for long... :(

[ontheworld]

let's see if i can beat l'ythelle this time! :D

if she is also coming this time, at least...

[UpperKEES]

She's already busy beating you again, see here.... ;)

Dang, I thought 4:14 was good... I'll work on it. As far as I can tell, #2 won't go that fast... that map is rough.

[ontheworld]

#2 will be hard. also KEES, look again ;)

I'm in:

April 10 1815:         9692 1min 54 (I'll probably get a better score if I micro-manage some more).


May 7 1902:           9607     2min 27
November 13 1985: 9466     3min 23

Yep, for this map I had the choice between August 26 and August 27 (see here). Because I think we all agree most Chronom maps are rather easy I picked the hardest one. I hope you don't mind. ;D

also KEES, look again ;)

Heheh! Nice to see you improve (but don't forget L'ythelle can replay her maps ;)). Also good to see you can still compete with eachother, even when you're not the fastest player (yet).

As it is said in this song:


"never was and never will be"

I'll give it a shot in CW 2, since that game will work completely different.
Still though, i prefer playing such indie games relaxed.

Whatever you like, as long as you have fun! :) Just improving yourself can be very satisfying as well; I find it very rewarding to see when I get a little better every week, even when the top players of a game are much better than me. Just beating them once a month can be a lot of fun, even when I lose 100 other times.  8)
