I fully expected someone to get a scanner (possibly like HSA or Harmony) with scores in the 180 range, which P.Kline actually did. I also expected someone to discover my warriors' brainwashing vulnerability... However, I did NOT notice ahead of time that my warrior had a horrible pspace bug in it! ACK! Confession #2: I kinda threw this sucker together, and it was my first ever use of the p^3 pspace engine. This pspace bug may have caused some warriors to get dramatically different scores during testing, heh... but what can I say... that's life. :) Anyway, my warrior's at the bottom... careful examination will reveal that if you are lucky enough to make me store a #4 or #5 in my pstate, I'm dead for the rest of the rounds. (I haven't read through all the warriors, but I already see two of them brainwashing with #5... heh...) For this reason I'm running 5 sets of 250 rounds each, in order to get some sort of realistic average. Congratulations to David Moore, who scored 99.8% of the maximum possible score of 3750! Way to viciously exploit my pspace bug, you ungodly bastage! :^) Name S NS David Moore 3742 1000 Christian Schmidt 3642 973 Michal Janeczek 2859 764 Leonardo H.
