Whoa, that's heavy Doc.Doc? How do you know who I am!?! Tell me, future boy, who's President of the United States in 1985?Ronald ReaganRonald Reagan? The Actor? Then who's Vice President? Jerry Lewis?...
Whoa. Wait a minute, Doc. Are you trying to tell me that my mother has got the hots for me?Precisely.Whoa. This is heavy.There's that word again. "Heavy." Why are things so heavy in the future? Is there a problem with the Earth's gravitational pull?...
Now, remember. According to my theory, you interfered with your parents' first meeting. If they don't meet, they won't fall in love, they won't get married and they won't have kids. That's why your older brother's disappearing from that photograph. Your sister will follow, and unless you repair the damage, you'll be next.Sounds pretty heavy.Weight has nothing to do with it....
Doc, I did it!Next Saturday night, we're sending you, Back To the Future!...
Oh, Marty. Marty, here's your keys. You're all waxed up, ready for tonight.Keys? Whoa. This is heavy.-----
The story begins in 1955, when an little known Duke living in a small Village marries a smart, pretty Duchess - Much to chagrin of the local Goons. Still, they have very little, only 3 Estates, and 7 Coppers to their name. As they grow old and have children, life treats them fairly well, but not great. They build up a modest living of 8 Duchy's, but the man still lives in fear of the Goons, who have made it their life mission to make hell for the man.
One day, some 30 years later, their youngest child (you) meets a crazy Witch, who sends him back in time. He awakes back in 1955, and through a series of misadventures, must work his way back home. Despite the warnings of the Witch not to change anything, our young hero can't help but interfere.
Upon his return home, he finds that indeed, the Witch was right, and things are not as they once were. For him and his family, things have improved greatly! They are now the richest in the Kingdom, owning all 8 Province's, and what's more? The Goons work for him!
Our hero, happy with his success, takes his young Harem in his new Caravan to the local Oasis, where they spend a rather eventful weekend, knowing that one day soon, they will head to the Chapel to be married, and live happily ever after.

Alright! Official results!
Setting the bar, and coming in third with 60 turns is
Schneau:
http://dominion.isotropic.org/gamelog/201206/11/game-20120611-174858-ce23a58b.htmlArriving in at 50 turns, good for second place, we have
Drab Emordnilap:
http://dominion.isotropic.org/gamelog/201205/20/game-20120520-212854-057b7021.html -- 50 turns.
http://dominion.isotropic.org/gamelog/201205/20/game-20120520-215323-c3b8808a.html -- 50 turns.
http://dominion.isotropic.org/gamelog/201205/20/game-20120520-220724-260d1bed.html -- 50 turns.
Does this mean that 50 is the best that can be done? Hmm...
No it does not! Coming in a full FOUR turns faster, at 46,
Fate has thrown down the gauntlet, callin' all the rest of ya 'Yellow' and daring you to challenge his effort.
Fate:
http://dominion.isotropic.org/gamelog/201206/05/game-20120605-110550-9d481c4b.htmlBut Chwhite will not be deterred! He really got his
Flux Drive working overtime when he came in at 44 turns and first place!:
Chwhite:
http://dominion.isotropic.org/gamelog/201206/15/game-20120615-034113-4675e18c.htmlFate claims to be able to match Chwhite's effort; which if true would mean two entries both at 44 turns. Add them together.... and you hit
88 Miles Per Hour! Can you take this one faster? Only
time will tell...
The leaderboard now looks like:
Chwite: 4 Points
Drab Emordnilap and Powerman: 4 Points
Schneau: 3 Points
Fate: 2 Points
Saturday Wins: 1 Point
Looking forward to seeing some more results. I will keep this post updated as soon as I can after each response. Good luck!
