Well, since there's not much use of the mi2 launcher, welding is allowed.

An interesting level but at first attempt even with some welding I only got 500, maybe I need to have a re-think or the Light bid has started far to high :?

EDIT. As far as I can see the Dark score is also far to high, all I could get was 652 and I doubt if I could tweak much off :?

LOL, Votart, you are supposed to say a lower score to encourage others, not scare them away :x

So, I guess, this means the Dark score is almost at max but the Light nearly is. It is the first day of the contest with 4 more to go, the bids should be atleast 100 below max if not more. :x :x :x

I am so pleased I got in early on the B league to get it started low on the Light score :)

Edit. I spoke too soon, the Dark has gone in much too high, imo :x

Initially they can seem a bit high, but both the scores are far from the max! :wink:

Votart Silak wrote:EDIT: Overlord, you wish to see good solutions or much them :?:

It's not a matter of quality, it's avoiding to scare people so that many players can try to reach the max, without discarding the level as many do when they see (in the fisrt days) a good score.
Please, next time use this:

1st posted score = My best score * 75% (or even less) :wink:

It's unhelpful for the competition's sake, but let others see someone else is playing, encouraging them playing too! And when they raise your score you can raise it again.
Please, try!

Do you think there wouldn't be good solutions if I received many of them? In fact, many potentially good solutions could be lost if you discourage others. And I'm not saying you shouldn't post high scores, it's just that you do it too early. It is more interesting to raise the scores by small amounts until the maximum is reached on the last day, don't you agree?

I really hope nothing is lost and higher scores can be achieved than that.
