I know that I have to use one move to descend to level 3, which is the minimum height to drop a bomb. I'll also need another move to calibrate the crosshairs properly and, finally, a third move to drop the bomb. I'm afraid to sell too many of our moves here so I'm going to be conservative.

Current group pot is at $97,000 now, incidentally. We are +12k for this challenge.

samifan24 · 09-01-2008, 07:15 PM

Move crosshairs south 1/4

(Question: do we get anything if I hit the field and still had moves left? Like a bonus or anything? I need to know before I drop the bomb)

MJ4H · 09-01-2008, 07:18 PM

Nope, you had your chance to sell

MJ4H · 09-01-2008, 07:26 PM

Samifan24 successfully hits the target and adds $10,000 to the group pot, which now stands at $107,000.

MJ4H · 09-01-2008, 07:26 PM

3 players yet to make their bombing runs:

kingnebwsu
Passacaglia
path12

MJ4H · 09-01-2008, 07:27 PM

Also, one fewer baseball field in Amarillo, Texas as of this evening.

For anyone still left to go, I'd recommend not making a move like this. Once you descend, the crosshair-moving scale changes. Take the time to do one before the other. Samifan, good choice on only selling 1 move...and nice hit.

samifan24 · 09-01-2008, 07:29 PM

Wow, I got really nervous during my early moves. I was afraid I'd burn too many moves trying to find a baseball field on the map. Luckily I found one pretty quickly and even had a few moves to spare.

Thomkal · 09-01-2008, 07:38 PM

yeah team!

samifan24 · 09-02-2008, 10:21 AM

Let me just say that I've thoroughly enjoyed this challenge much more than the past few. I feel as though I haven't contributed enough to the group and am happy to put some money in the pot this time!

path12 · 09-02-2008, 02:20 PM

Nice job, samifan! I'm just checking in, have no problem going next but I'll be really in and out until later this evening.

samifan24 · 09-02-2008, 09:17 PM

Wow, this is a tough one. I think you're too high up now to see anything. I'd suggest picking either side of the water and drop down a level. Those look like a lot of houses so I'd hope there would be a ballpark somewhere nearby.

path12 · 09-02-2008, 10:17 PM

I was hoping something would show up higher but I'm not seeing anything.

East 1

Passacaglia · 09-03-2008, 08:55 AM

Could there be one in the NE corner, near that main road?

MJ4H · 09-03-2008, 08:57 AM

Sometimes googlepages works from here, sometimes it doesn't. Right now, it doesn't. Will keep trying.

Heading out to work. Should I go lower? I don't think that is one, but it could be that I'm too high.

North 1. Let's see if that was a field.

Good idea. I think you have to look to the north, past that main road. I saw what looked like a park or a field to the north but I don't think it was a baseball field. Maybe there's one nearby?

path12 · 09-03-2008, 11:43 AM

Hmm. Could be a ballpark, don't know how "official" it is. Thoughts before I move towards it?

You've got 4 moves left. 1 to drop lower, 1 to shift the map, 1 to aim, and 1 to fire. At this point you pretty much have to go at it whatever it is. You don't have another move to search unless that search puts a field on screen one level lower...which probably isn't possible.

It looks more like a sandlot than anything else. I agree that you probably have to go for it otherwise you'll burn all your moves frantically moving about the map trying to find a ballpark. I'd say go for this one, it looks like an infield at least, and no one will fault you if it turns out it's "only" a sandlot and doesn't count or something more like a park or a mound of dirt.

Thanks for the help, guys.

One time offer to sell your 3 remaining MPs for $1,000 each (meaning you would be forfeiting your bombing run). You may also purchase 1 more MP instead for $3,000, now only.

Or you can play it straight.

path12 · 09-03-2008, 01:40 PM

Thoughts? If I bail now we get $3K guaranteed. If not, we're hoping that field counts since there's not enough points to likely find another. I'm tempted to take the $3K.

I think you should take the money. We're not even sure if that field counts as a ballpark. You might go through all the moves and effort to hit it and then we all find out that it doesn't count as a ballpark. I'd say take the sure thing, the money. No one will fault you there, especially since you put money in the pot.

Thomkal · 09-03-2008, 03:13 PM

I'm fine with either way you want to go

path12 · 09-03-2008, 03:23 PM

OK. I'll take the cash.

MJ4H · 09-03-2008, 04:17 PM

Just for the record, that transaction was to put $3,000 into the group pot, right?
