not present in L1/ONML?
batter (1) - ccexplore, Akseli, möbius, Simon, NaOH, Proxima
walker (0.16) - Insane Steve
cuber (0.16) - geoo
3. You are playing the first level, "Any Way You Want". For whatever reason, you've decided to challenge yourself to complete the level using only one type of skill. Which do you choose?

miner (0.66) - möbius, Proxima

Cunning (1) - Insane Steve, ccexplore, möbius, Simon, NaOH
Hopeless (0.4) - Akseli, geoo

In strong contrast to the earlier question about the ONML difficulty ratings, this was a landslide victory for one of the middle tiers. So evidently one can have too much difficulty....

The level wouldn't be unbeatable without it (0.5) - Insane Steve (so I suppose this is the definitive answer!)
Someone planted it there (0.5) - ccexplore
To prevent you going on (0.5) - Akseli

Death Note (1) - möbius, geoo, Simon, NaOH, Proxima
Pokémon (0.6) - Insane Steve, ccexplore, Akseli
No takers for
Sailor Moon or
Haruhi Suzumiya, which share the honour of being referenced in Lix level titles
10. You wake up in a deserted military base. Over the intercom, your brother (or, if you don't have a brother, someone you trust absolutely) tells you that aliens have invaded and you are humanity's only hope. What weapon do you select?
Lix cannon (1) - Insane Steve
Missiles (1) - ccexplore
Nuclear bomb (1) - Akseli
Killer rabbit (1) - möbius
Nuke (1) - geoo (specifying a Lemmings-style nuke, so I cannot count this the same as "nuclear bomb")
Resonance Reflector (1) - Simon (this is a weapon from
Iji, the game referenced by the scenario)
Chainsaw (1) - NaOH
Shotgun (1) - Proxima
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's Lix multiplayer time! First select a colour.
Red - ccexplore
Orange - Simon, möbius
Purple - geoo, Akseli, NaOH, Proxima
Black - Insane Steve
For the detailed results of Questions 11-13, see
ccexplore's calculator.
11. Round One -- Stepping Stones!
PURPLE saved all 80 lix and stole 40 of Black's, for a score of 1.5.
ORANGE saved all their own lix for a score of 1.
BLACK saved their remaining 40 lix for a score of 0.5.
RED failed to save any lix and scored 0.
12. Round Two -- Shion's Fun Fun Torture Room!
Only BLACK and RED survived the sawblades. Black chose to hunt and Red to walk, so Red (ccexplore) emerges the winner and scores 2.
13. Round Three -- Downward Reduction!
ORANGE'S strategy of using the fewest miners early turns out a winner. They score 1.52.
RED are unlucky as the lix cluster furthest from their exit. ccexplore scores 0.86.
Insane Steve (BLACK) used the most miners of any individual player, but was lucky to be in a team on his own for this question. He scores 0.82.
PURPLE use up nearly all their miners and come last, with 0.78. Which just shows how swingy this map can be -- had they used up fewer but still more than the other teams, they could easily have won
Final standings:
NaOH 11.11
Simon 10.6
ccexplore 10.46
möbius 10.07
geoo 10
Proxima 9.55
Akseli 8.69
Insane Steve 7.75
A very close-fought contest. Congratulations, NaOH!
