Achieved! - If we consider only the regular teams, but not the 4 miner groups at ranks 1, 3, 4, and 10.So, what's our target this year? Top 5 would be great.
After your PG assistance, how could we do such a nasty thing? :-)You guys just might pass us up before the end.

Our 114.223.305 points are a new record for us in this challenge, though unfortunately mere 300k were missing towards [H] (...).* Perhaps their small bunker at the afternoon made the difference to counter our increased output of the last few hours, including the final small fireworks.
Congratulations to Team China, who were able to top their previous year's result by 50 %, and to XtremeSystems, who, after three years, succeeded to finish in front of Team China. Also congratulations to our immediate neighbors [H] and TAAT, who kept us in suspense until the end.
After having fought the hangover, someone came forward with sort of an apology in their forum.Ha! Sounds like someone from TAAT was causing elevated blood pressures at SG the final day.
Dear hosts of the WCG Birthday party,
thanks for the great event with a lot of fun and excitement!
And I hope you don't hold it against some of your guests that they were beginning to get fresh with you in the frenzy late at the party. ;-)
And furthermore:XSmeagolX said:The company manufacturing the medals unfortunately has delivery difficulties because of the Black Friday shopping. We will distribute them as soon as possible after delivery.
