Want some more challenges? 9/8 - Take and hold both your starting island and the island to the west from the start. 9/9 - Move Odin City to the high ground on the west side at the start.

It wasn't easy, but I did it. http://imgur.com/a/DUsxh I had to keep inching that mortar over to take the plateau so I could build more collectors. The first spore attack, a couple got through and hit the east side. I barely hung on at that point, but I recovered and went on to take the map.

@DonPerplejo: My thanks for posting the .jpg. After playing 9/6 several times without moving Odin City, I can only conclude that you did an amazing game per the challenge OR you moved Odin City back to its original spot after capping the emitters. I would love to give you the benefit of a doubt, but you have cried "Wolf" so many times before that I will require more "proof". Perhaps you could show us a few intermediate screenshots of your build, particularly during the first few minutes when building reactors and blasters is so time constrained. Please include the portion of the screen showing times and score in the lower right area. Maybe 1 shot per minute for the first 4 minutes. I am anxious to see you join the group as a valid contributor.

If you can do 9/6 without moving Odin City, I applaud you. I've tried a couple of times, but no go. I'll try some more later.

@JohnnyNoHands: I understand and share your concerns. The chat room has interaction that makes no sense. That is the sandbox for the kids to play. The comments, however, stick around for days up to a week or so. Many here, myself included, learn from seeing other people's realistic postings. Whether it is to challenge people to cap all emitters on a level, fastest time or to post a survival time, these are all based on people who enjoy the many aspects of the game. When one shows no respect, one should be given no respect. Just my opinion, as you have yours. Thanks for your input.

@chilese, is reporting impossible times really "abuse"? I'd hate to put this in the category of foul language and hateful postings. I'd favor just muting them.

9/2 - 1:33 Hello everyone. If you click on any user name you can 1) Send a private message. 2) Mute that user or 3) Report abuse about that user. So, for instance, if someone were to continually post impossible times, you could report that as abuse. Just a thought.

After 14 plays using double speed and the pause key, I got 1:21 twice, the rest were all between 1:22 and 1:25 while attempting various timing and collector position variations.

I only got the 1:21 once. The other 6 times were 1 or 2 seconds slower as I was trying slightly different timings or collector placement.

8/31 - 2:00 Thanks for the screenshot. That SAM stretch you got is amazing. I was able to avoid the SAM by going around the edge for the West totem. So, collectors only got me to 2:00. Nicely done.

8/31 - 2:14 Collectors and 2 Relays. Please forgive my former hysteria. Although I can't figure how you knocked 23 seconds below my time. That is why you are hawk45.

8/31 - 2:36 @hawk45 I was over 5 minutes until I saw your incredible time. Did you hover 2 SAMs? I used relays for the middle totem.

8/26 - 1:23 I found that holding my breath near the end helped a little bit. However, it was not enough to get down to carusoo's 1:22.

If you look closely at the hawk45 screenshots, you can just make out the angels that help move the energy packets along.

@ DonPerplejo: I applaud your ability to post times in the rapidly becoming standard form of date - time. And I also applaud your times as becoming closer to believable. HOWEVER, you have NO credibility. Until you post a screen capture showing your setup and/or time, no one here will believe you. Of course, if your goal is just to be annoying, you are indeed the mosquito at the picnic.

I wonder what times Perplejo would have if we didn't comment our times on certain maps. I suspect he won't post a time earlier, since he has no example to lie about. :)
