Weekly history tournament - deadliest volcanic eruptions - closing Sept. 19

[RandyTravis]

I stole your table. Please forgive me :D

Heheh, you're not the first, but I actually like that. :)

Very nice times for a first run, Alwego!  8)

I was going to steal it at first, but then decided to make my own =].

Ah, that explains a few tiny differences.

I recommend anybody to copy it (just quote a post by Randy, Richie, Alwego or me) as this will save some time at the end of the week.

We have 18 participants at the moment, yeah! :)

My scores are terrible. I just had a long week at work and didnt have the time to try to do any better. I just wanted to finish. I cant wait to see how you guys and gals got the impossible (at least for me) low scores. Anyway here goes:

1.	April 10, 1815	9218	5:05

I wasn't going to post my scores, but it appears that I might not come in last after all.

Kees: Next time, why not add a field at the bottom of your chart that automatically totals the scores?  ::)

Edit: I found some code for a "totals" line. I must say, I am immensly pleased with myself for splicing in the correct lines of code with only the slightest clue what it all means.  ;D   (Still doesn't total automatically though.)

Even though Krakatoa did not kill as many people, it was the bigger of the explosions.

Also after examining the scores for the Krakatoa map, it appears the map reflects the explosion correctly. :)

[IcEcAt]

   so here are my newest scores. i would like to thank cw, top gear (way to many hours watched while playing cw) and the people who post useful information on these here forums.
   "huh? what?!?! I didn't take first place? ...

      ...oh!"

how did you actually use this mess of code? (part of it is that i just don't get it)

[UpperKEES]

I cant wait to see how you guys and gals got the impossible (at least for me) low scores.

I'll post a screeny tomorrow with description for every map that I finish at #1.

Not sure how to do this with bb-codes, if possible at all. Maybe Echo51 is the right person to ask as he wrote a rainbow script a couple of weeks ago. Believe me, I'd love to have a self-calculating total!

Even though Krakatoa did not kill as many people, it was the bigger of the explosions.

Also after examining the scores for the Krakatoa map, it appears the map reflects the explosion correctly. :)

Nah, the Tambora was really the biggest explosion as well. Its eruption let to the year without summer.

how did you actually use this mess of code? (part of it is that i just don't get it)

table = start table
tr = start table row
td = start table cell
url = hyperlink (to the map page of the according date)
left, right & center are alignments
hr = horizontal line
/ = end code

But you don't have to get it, just quote a post and replace the values. ;)

Everybody good luck until tonight! :)

[ontheworld]

guess i'll go shave some minutes off now...

[Fisherck]

Okay, I finally finished all 5. :) I might be able to shave a bit more time off these, but that is only if I have time to do it.

I actually have first for a map. Maybe by one second, but still first. ;D

Hmmm, if you get a few more firsts (just by one second) I may not like it.... ;)

And Sqaz, where's your score for map 2? You're not gonna submit a super score at 23:59, are you? :P

Yeah I know, I've done all the research. Mount Tambora DID infact explode and it was very tremendous, however, it wasn't the only thing that caused the Year without a Summer. Chains of heavy explosions around the world helped.

I wish I could've lived during the Year Without A Summer; it would've been epic.

Also, if such a thing happened right now... yeah... entire governments would collapse I assume.

[Fisherck]

Well this it. Unfortunately, it is all I have time for. Hopefully next week I will have more time. Then you better watch out (unless your UpperKEES). :D
