1. Each person gets to pick 5 names to put on the list.

2. Only people that have submitted names for the list are eligible for the contest. You can enter late but the contest starts as soon as someone posts 5 names to search for!

3. Contest ends on March 20th or if someone finds them all before that! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] I will change the end date if people think it is a bad choice. Some might want to end this before the end of Feb so they can get their bases moved and make a run at a cash out. But I wanted to have enough time to search a large area. End date may change.

4. At end of contest PM me the info you have found. I will give 5 points if you are the only person to find a guy and 1 point if more than one person finds a guy. I will of course compile a complete list of all the people we have found and share it with all members. Even those that did not enter the contest as they could have been out of town or stoned maybe and missed the whole thing.

5. Prize is a free base location of $25.50 preferably transferred to your stars account but I guess we can try paypal also.

Each alliance member can add 5 people to the list. Btw you don't get points for finding guys that you submited just incase we have desperate souls trying to angle shoot this. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

TheBram, vetman81, sniper, rj, BuddhistMonk, killa and Crem have registered for the contest.

I added more than 5 names not sure if that is fair but I did it anyways. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

More please.

I don't post on those forums and I have not seen others from our alliance posting either.

Also you guys posting on there forums at all?

[/ QUOTE ]

This is a game where laying low pays off... once you start posting in the WW forum everyone knows you are active and starts seeking out your coordinates.

It does pay to register so that you can send/receive PMs... in some cases, if you PM someone asking them to stop attacking you, they might give you a break for a bit.

The stronger you get in the game, obviously the less you have to fear!

My PM to open post ratio there is something like 10:1.

Work on the mapping project has been suspended because I've gotten tied up with a lot of stuff. I don't have the time to work on the project for the forseeable future.

I got the freeze panes part down. Did you manually put coordinates in, or is there a formula to automatically increase it every cell? What did you put in every box?

You can use the Fill function.

Looks like bram is filling in full names of locations on his map.

Like Bram, I track everything, including tracking the swamp, jungle, and wasteland info just in case they make a change and have these location types mean something. Notably on Ancient's map he treats these all the same; as well as treating Mountains and Deserted Bases the same (while both good spots, they are notably very different in rewards)

I use a simple 1-2 letter system on graph paper...
M = Mountain, D = Deserted Base, Stores are A,F,T,SC and ST; the useless spots are w,s & j.
B (circled) = Member Base [with complete details and results of all attacks tracked on the back] (worth noting, depending on how much time I devote to playing on any given day, I can walk thru the map from either side of the page, depending on how much time I want to spend optimizing my route)

Use a system that works for you.

(if I manage to find some time to finish it, I started work on a VB front end to a backend database, as a mapping aid)

Default Heads up Sniper, you have WW friends

Hey Snipe, If you have not seen this on ww forum: gamechat it seems like there is a guy who wants to meet you. "Find these guys!!!" He may want to come by for coffee but I don't think so. PM me his cords! Cre
