Rick is the new "winner" (so far!!) of the great Tycoon competition. 6 people are having a play, so go to www.mcmuffin.demon.co.uk/index.html (all new and improved!!) to download the scenario and see the *NEW* league table. I'm bleedin' knackered, so I'm going to add the saved games I've received tomorrow (Mon) night, along with other Tycoon related gubbins. Thanks to all those who've mailed me their saved games. It is appreciated. And sorry for not keeping the site as up-to-date as people would like....... --- Chris

>You know there's no need to add the index.html part to it. I'm not going to get in a strop about this - but its called ettiquette ... the same as you don't need the last / on a url ... www.mcmuffin.demon.co.uk/ works as does www.mcmuffin.demon.co.uk, but adding the / actually speeds it up. And yes it does, don't argue. Theres a big article on it. Somewhere. >Are you going to add that screenshot I sent you with the 5 lorries I'm going through 453,433,211 saved games at the moment, obtaining all the stats to stuff it in an Excel chart to show on my site for the competition. When thats done, and people have stopped moaning at me, then I'll add your screenshot!!!! Its on my "to-do" list. Honest!! >It's going to be difficult to judge the real winner! Well, its going to be even more difficult to judge the loser. Unless its me.

>I wouldn't mind knowing how you work out the performance number he gives. "He"?? I'll try not to be hurt by that remark........ !! Tycoon works out the performance figure, but I'm not 100% accurate - I'm trying to read it off a tiny graph, so apologies if I've diddled anyone!! I'm actually adding the graphs, etc, to my site, but they are 100k images.... maybe a little too big......

Happens to me all the time B-( No, the computer decided to steal the goods service that had become available as I was delivering wood to a sawmill. So I lead his trucks up a quicker road, and trapped them all. They continued in a circle for about 50 years until the game ended. > >I haven't been playing for a while. It was just as I suspected.

Just by looking at the graph in the game. I also put my performance number on my submitted games. And I don't think it's 904, it's actually 900. Eddie
