Discuss this Gauntlet in the Forums 

 
Another huge gauntlet was built this Sunday with wdouglas doing about 60% of the work. I let him go crazy on the south side, and he made it into a beast. He placed 600+ turrets which made up half the gauntlet. The gauntlet itself had 3 starting cities, each of which had to go through 140 plasma turrets before reaching the middle command center.

Lahij made the fastest progress to the middle, but they couldn't shoot all the turrets in the middle without the help of the other 2 cities.

Once the three teams finally met up, rather than working together, they decided to go to war and began killing eachother. They noticed this prevented them from making any real progress and made them have to constantly drive a long way, so they eventually stopped. They still killed each other from time to time, but they at least made the effort to make it look like an accident... :)

After the middle point, Benguala found the quickest route to the command center while annaba and Lahij announced a new declaration of war and bega killing eachother again! I tried to help Annaba out by telling them they were on the longer path, but Sanders said he would rather have fun, than watching someone else shoot turrets. Wise words we all should follow(seriously).

Eventually Sanders cleared the longer way while the other teams were clearing the command center. After 2 hours of the gauntlet, Clientel rushed the cc for the orb. Benguela recieved 500 points. Below is a list of the teams. If your name is missing, please post about it in the forums so we can add you!
