9/12 - 4:22 iMiPi - Here is a screenshot of 9/12 with the best time I could get. It is basically the same setup, but with better energy control and less collectors, oddly: https://picasaweb.google.com/chilesej/Artwork#6059176525365271106

Chilese... Oh man... I'm so ashamed I didn't think of your solution on 9/12. It's official, I'm out of practice ;)
OK, I'll check again what can I get :)

9/14 - 1:22 Still 6 collectors, but this time split into 2 short branches instead of one continuous link. The last 2 seconds belong to hawk45 as I can't seem to improve on the 1:22.

@hawk45: You consistently amaze me. @MTargaryen: It appears the people are asking you for a screenshot of your incredible (if not possible) time. Please post a screenshot so we can share your secrets. Hawk45 has Creeper World credibility and is believed.

9/12 - 4:42 I believe my best would be about 4:39, which would still be 2 seconds behind MTargaryen. Here is a screenshot of the 4:42: https://picasaweb.google.com/chilesej/Artwork#6058748753417339250

MTargaryen, do you have a magic wand? :) I did try now, but i have no clue how is even 4:50 possible. Chilese, you are now definitely better at this than I am :) I can't get it done until the spores attack! You two are amazing. May I see your final layout?

First, congrats to MTargaryen, great time. iMiPi, I have fixed the link to my website in the profile. I still post screenshots and static tutorials from time to time, but nothing of the quality you did with this one: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AWmjPfLIg7I&index=3&list=UUyrecjxCJkitTtrfOxAfnSQ) which is still the best map conquest ever done in my opinion (yes, that's the long slender island I spoke of from memory). I am pleased to see your business is still growing and that you play this amazing game from time to time. Glad the cats are well, we have several rescued animals ourselves.

Chilese, I can not see your picasaweb website in your profile description. A typo? Does the link on my profile to my business page on facebook work?

:) Thanks for the praise! :D
Do you mean this video? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rX9Qf9iAlOQ&index=2&list=UUyrecjxCJkitTtrfOxAfnSQ
or the next on the playlist with commentary? I didn't have the time to do the commentary for the final punch... It's a shame, but hey, probably you already have more practice than I ever had, so you figured it all out :) Now I build my business, I only play here a little, just to make the map all green :D

9/12 - 4:50 iMiPi, your return just knocked 34 seconds off my time for the day. I don't know if it is respect, inspiration or fear. Your return definitely put a smile on my face. Your videos were amazing. You did one where Odin City hopped back and forth across a long, slender island that I still think about.

OMG!!!! iMiPi. We have become somewhat civil here. Actually, hawk45 and I mention you from time to time. You are the one we both learned from. Not that we'll ever get to your rarified skill level, although hawk45 is quite talented. I hope you are well.

Used those screenshots as inspiration, was rather cheap at the start with only 2 blasters for as long as they could manage. Made a few mistakes and went northeast when I should have just rushed the third totem, managed at 17:52.

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.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
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.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
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.
