damsel1: Thank you for your comments. Always good to have new blood in a years old game. I have no problem with how you play. I have already stated that every way is fine. My only qualm is with your vocabulary choice. This would be similar to you saying you bowled a perfect game because you got the same number of strikes and spares while everyone else (except the troll MTargaryen who is enjoying our exchange) thinks 12 strikes is a perfect game. Both people would still enjoy bowling. You should continue to play exactly how you want. None of us care how you play. No one cares how I play. Most of the regulars have a certain respect for people who reach for extremes such as "Longest Survival Time", "Shortest Escape Time", "Mortars Only", etc. All of these extremes require acquired skills past the basic elements of the game. Please continue to play any variation you enjoy.
damsel1: Most of us "regulars" play the game to an extreme of some sort. 1) Win as quickly as possible. 2) Last in survival mode as long as possible. 3) Play the game with self-imposed limiters (mortars only for example). Your method of "playing" in survival mode for a short time and then leaving feels not like as a win as much as not playing to any of the extremes. Happily, the game can be played in many modes. It is the use of the term "Winning In Survival Mode" that many of us find inappropriate.
Perhaps you could post a picture of your "winning" screen. If it involves you leaving the screen by activating the totems, then we are talking about 2 different definitions of winning.
damsel1: It appears we are writing about 2 different events. Most of us consider warping out as NOT beating the game in survival mode. One can warp out of any puzzle after survival mode starts. The NOT POSSIBLE aspect is staying in the game in survival mode indefinitely. If you can stay in the game in survival mode long enough, you will see that your energy has an upper limit while the creeper keeps getting stronger. Most people post a final time when they die in survival mode after a long and ultimately brutal death.
@ StCreed: Here is a tutorial link. Most of these puzzle types involve sinking Odin City into the creeper and linking with a floating SAM. Use the PAUSE button a lot when you want to change directions of your floating items. Good luck. https://picasaweb.google.com/chilesej/Artwork#6204563573669131026
