Yeah, I guess I will have to remove you then. Despite the fact that you did not end up towards the top of the leaderboard it would not be fair to let your score stand with everyone else avoiding the Miner and consignment shop (hopefully). That you for participating, momofmany.

But I just went back and seen that I shouldn't have used Ambitions stuff and I did so darn take my name off the board.

You're not the only one who overlooked that rule.

Ambitions users — Nothing from the Ambitions expansion that would give you an unfair advantage can be used.

I don't think getting a tattoo would be an unfair advantage, but buying two pieces of tiberium at the consignment shop definitely was.

I just started this challenge last week. I read the rules when they were first posted two months ago, but I didn't have Ambitions at that time so I guess I forgot about that restriction. I'm glad momofmany pointed it out before I wasted any more time trying to finish.

Okay, TheCub. Thanks for being honest.

Stella Collet finished her crazy 8 collections on week 4 day 2 and 15 vacation days. That will be a total count of 38 days if I'm right.

Stella was lucky with both gems, metal and insects and found them quickly or it was just my 1000 testing for this challenge that made that part easy. Had some problem with the wine and dine though - don't know why I struggled there.

Whoa, I had the end date for this one and the Random Wishmaster's mixed up. I really doubt that I'll have the time to finish this one (I've barely even started it!). So, could you remove me from this challenge?

Joria · « **Reply #255 on:** July 28, 2010, 04:09:00 PM »

Woot! I still have the dubious honor of being the absolute bottom of the totem pole in this challenge. lol I did learn a lot and had fun so it was worth it.

BlueJay91 · « **Reply #256 on:** July 29, 2010, 12:32:41 AM »

Is there still a chance I can join the challenge? I know I'm a bit late, but it seems like a lot of fun!

Pam · « **Reply #257 on:** July 29, 2010, 01:06:19 AM »

Welcome to the Forum, BlueJay91! Yes, you can absolutely still join. As long as you finish by the ending date, you're fine.

BlueJay91 · « **Reply #258 on:** July 30, 2010, 08:48:31 PM »

This must look ridiculous-looking on the board, but can you remove me from the leaderboard in this challenge? I think Crazy Eights is a real Challenger's challenge with strategies and testing, and Wishmasters is my first one ever. With the approaching end date too, I just don't think I can complete it or get into it well enough. Sorry.

Metropolis Man · « **Reply #259 on:** July 30, 2010, 08:50:12 PM »

That's okay, BlueJay. No biggie.

I don't really like collecting, but this challenge was more fun than I thought going into it. I had never used the XL Carter Display so that was kind of exciting (I love how this tournament forces you to play all areas of the game). I got 12 vacation days and ended on week 3, day 6.

lianne · « **Reply #261 on:** August 05, 2010, 06:29:30 PM »

Metro, can you please take me off the board? I've just started a new job and I've been way too busy to play so I'm not going to be able to finish by sunday

HelenP · « **Reply #262 on:** August 05, 2010, 07:05:32 PM »

Finished at last, it seemed to take forever. All I can say is Pink Diamonds and Opals Aaaarrrggghh.

Anyway, my time was week 9 day 1 (57 days I think) and 37 vacation days. Believe the total is 94 days.

Still, it was a fun challenge.

Metropolis Man · « **Reply #263 on:** August 05, 2010, 07:33:39 PM »

Okay lianne, you're out. Good luck with your new job.

@Helen, your results are posted.

Agnes · « **Reply #264 on:** August 05, 2010, 10:32:34 PM »

Since I had to restart, I've been having trouble trying to keep up, so, alas, I'll have to drop out also. Darn those escalated crime rates in my city! I want my computer back!

*shakes fist*

It was a fun challenge, though.

GrowerGirl · « **Reply #265 on:** August 06, 2010, 12:26:06 PM »

I think I've decided to drop this one, too.

Metropolis Man · « **Reply #266 on:** August 07, 2010, 03:32:17 PM »

Reminder — This event closes tomorrow, so get those scores in soon. Good luck to everyone finishing up!

wildredchild · « **Reply #267 on:** August 07, 2010, 05:18:19 PM »

Almost forgot to get my score in. Hometime 3 weeks, 2 days and vacation time 15 days. I loved this challenge.

MirandaX · « **Reply #268 on:** August 08, 2010, 03:27:03 AM »

Finished, thank goodness. At one point, I actually seriously wondered if there could possibly be some bug in my game that prevented Plutonium from spawning. Ever.

Week 9, Day 5 plus 45 vacation days.

Metropolis Man · « **Reply #269 on:** August 09, 2010, 09:18:02 AM »

And that's a wrap sports fans. This event is officially closed. Congrats to NancyJ on her 2nd Tournament victory. Only 21 participants ended up submitting scores which is a little low compared to other events, but I know that those that did participate had fun. My thanks, as always, to everyone. @Pam — a quick shout out to you for coming up with 4 of the collections.

I'll be updating the Hall of Fame later after Nancy gets back to me with how she approached this event.

Pam · « **Reply #270 on:** August 09, 2010, 09:23:00 AM »

Thanks Metro. This was one of my personal favorites, for sure. I had a blast with it.
