Oh, good, now I can remove the "1" rating I'd given the hold.

No, seriously, I hadn't changed my rating--but many thanks for fixing the backtracking/secret-room/etc bugs. Some random thoughts:

So it finally gets fixed by the highly generous hold admins and you still complain? There's no pleasing some people...
BTW. You do know that Cwazy Castle wasn't part of the official KPVIIID storyline

Hey, I said the same thing when I hit that room back when you first published the hold. It may not be part of the storyline, but it's part of the hold, and a checkpoint or three would have made the room much more fun to play.

Seriously, get over it. I'm not complaining about their fix to the hold; I'm extremely pleased that they fixed it. But I am complaining about the design of the hold, which I believe it's still my right to do.

Official storyline or not, behind a master wall or otherwise, my opinion is that that room was an Abomination Unto the Erik. I didn't change my rating of the hold, mind you, though I must admit I've somewhat changed my personal rating of the author...

Okay, okay. You think what you want. I have nothing to do with it. But please please can I ask everyone to stop bumping this thread? Every time I see this thread again, I automatically think "Oh jeez, what are they complaining about now?" This hold is behind me, and I really don't want to see it again.
So Tahnan, can you also try to, seriously, get over it? By the way, I still agree about your right to complain, but please can I ask to leave this hold alone?

I don't actually think that's a reasonable request. The hold is out there, and people are going to play it. New people will find it, people intrigued by the fact that it's now masterable will come back and play it. They're going to comment.

Nobody's making you read the comments, though. Feel free to ignore posts to this thread.

Yup. Sorry, Pilchard, but one of the facts about publishing something is that once you do, it's out there, and it's no longer in your control what people say about it. As jbluestein said, if you're annoyed by this thread, just stop reading it.

I'm unsure why, but I've got the urge to do a TCB remake of this hold.

As long as the rooms are different, then I'm sure no one would mind. I certainly would LOVE to see one! :D

First you say one time after another that you *don't* care about the hold and want to forget it.

And now you're remaking it? ...okay!

Well, there was loads of stuff in JtRH that I couldn't do in TCB. But now that it's out, I can use different methods to help the story and rooms along, eg. How did Halph end up in the castle? What did King Pilchard go through before meeting Beethro?

These sounds like ideas that would make a nice short prequel hold, actually, with some quick visits to 'work in progress' versions of a few of the best rooms, some extra challenges, a few flashbacks, and so on. That might be more appealing then playing through the whole thing again to find little changes here and there.

And more appealing than designing a big project like for fairly little payoff too.

Just finish this hold - it's going into my personal top ten favorites. Five for difficulty, nine for fun (sorry, don't give tens - yet).

I've missed one secret room on the castle challenges floor - still trying to figure out where...

Started the sequel to this, and it looks even better :thumbsup

edit: found it! Now I just need to conquer the blasted thing

Erm, I have to say that I don't understand this discussion.

Probably because parts of it refer to different versions of the hold.

Does anybody know if if is now possible to find all the rooms without replaying the whole hold?

I have conquered the hold, but have finished 12 levels with 81 rooms only.

I have no idea what I have missed and can't find any secret rooms any more.

Can't say I remember anything about this hold, but here is a list of all the scores you're missing. Maybe it helps.

Not at all.

However, the link looks interesting :)

Is there any documentation?

It's one of those features that you find by going through all the tabs in your forum profile. Not sure if it's actually documented somewhere.

Missing scores for any hold are located at "High Scores" -> "My Stats", where the "Number of High Scores" column is clickable.
