(back to the game)

Yeah, they were down for me too.

Also,
DARN IT! :argh:

I had that 3pc in my sights, just couldn't get it tweaked!

I am completely amazed at the variety of level 1 solves.... mines pretty unique too. Im surprised to see that it was the only one champed that way. Jdel --- your L2 is an awesome 4pc. You scare me. Nice Physics.

I have been trying diligently to get a 2 pc solve on L1, but no luck.

WHY DID I KEEP THINKING IT HAD TO BE UNCONNECTED GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR :argh:

by **ringkingleo** on Sun May 01, 2011 8:22 pm

i have submitted my entry to the tiebreaker. Its gonna be tough to beat.... i suspect if one of you beat it, you definitely deserve the win, cuz im done tweaking.

Hopefully jompster gets back in time to whip something up.

It's a 5pc, and the first solve I had for this comp. I didn't pay attention and assumed :sweep:

was important. It doesn't clean, but I liked it.

I also came REALLY close to the 3pc several hours after the deadline.

I knew it was there, but got tired and figured it was too late anyway

Haven't gotten to comment since the FC outage, but GREAT solves everyone... This was an awesome come, great levels.

Hah, I just saw that. I'm really glad you got it, because I tried the exact same thing a million times and couldn't get it.

ya, looks like that brown piece needed to be just a touch longer to catch the ball in the goal zone.... too much spring in it. I will admit, i had some time tweaking that puppy.

Maybe a guest solve from you?... perhaps? ..... 1 day left :-)

I've only received a design from RKL. I know that jompy said he'd be out of town so I was wondering if I should leave the deadline open a little to allow jompy and patacoman time to submit. Let me know what you think.

by **ringkingleo** on Tue May 03, 2011 2:16 pm

Thats fine with me.... I dont want a hurried solve from either of them. Its a tough tweaker level to get a comfortable score on.

A win (*~IF i win~*) wouldnt be right with me if they couldnt give a genuine effort.

but, with all due respect, we have to end it sometime..... so lets extend it until maybe Sunday?.... id be ok with that.

by **patacoman** on Tue May 03, 2011 8:11 pm

I'll submit a solve tonight, the game was down all weekend for me.
I'd be ok with extending to Sunday though, to give everyone a chance.

sorry guys, I did not mean to hold this comp up. I thought it would be over before I got back. Unfortunately, life is really crazy right now and I'm not going to be able to get a solve in or play much until things settle down. Tried to cook something up quick, and it just left me confident that I'm ending up right where I'd have been anyway.

Great comp and levels, ID36. Sorry I wasn't able to do this last one justice. Very confident patacoman and RKL will.

by **ringkingleo** on Thu May 05, 2011 12:22 am

no problem bro...., go do yer thing, life comes first

thanks for the response, see you in a later match :-)

not sure im going to tweak a much better score than what I have. Im out of ideas for improvement. ....... well i have more ideas but none of them work.... lol

im ready whenever patacoman feels done.

by **patacoman** on Thu May 05, 2011 6:01 am

I"m ok with ending this one then.

I'm as ready as I'm going to be, I don't have the time or patience to tweak anymore.

by **jdelgado06** on Thu May 05, 2011 6:23 am

Sorry I didn't get a guest solve in. Can't wait to see the results, though.

by **ID36** on Fri May 06, 2011 7:23 pm

Final results are finally up. Congratulations to patacoman for a well-deserved win and a well-played pat on the back to ringkingleo for putting up the hard fight. Thanks to everyone else for playing. It was nice to see so many people enter; it goes to show that FC1 still has its fair share of active players! I think the next comp, whenever I host it, will be hap2.0 with unconnected and rodless as a possibility :D
