I really really really really really really really really really want a community made hold, so I am making steps to get one started. Here's how it will work:

1. If you want to join, post in this thread.
2. I will give the first person on the list a copy of the hold, and he or she will make a new level for it continuing the story.
3. They will give it back to me in the submission topic, and then I will give that to the next person in line, and it will continue until we are done.


List of people:


Pilchard the VIII
Jeff_Ray...
Bunches
Tokyokid
Ezlo

People who have been skiped but can have a turn whenever they feel like it when they come back:

MeckMeck GRE
golfrman

Every five levels or so I will release a non-editable version to the public so they can see how it's going.

This is good but why is it in the contests forum? Doesn't it belong under architecture, or maybe General?

Cool idea!
If I can find the time, I would like to contribute. You can put me in the line and ask when its due.

Should there be some rules about level size, story continuity, overall quality?

for example:
- No more than 10 rooms (plus secret rooms) per level
- Do not introduce a complete different plot. You can (should) introduce new twists to the story however.

Smoething like that maybe.

Should there be a shortcut in every level, so that you don't have to replay every level when a new version arrives? A warp room in the first level, maybe?

When is it finished? Does the plot have an end?

Okay, I have no limit on size, but I will keep checking up to see if you are really working on it, and if you take too long, (Around a month or so.) I'll pass it to the next person.

Plot is talked about in a section of the hold. You'll see what I mean when you get it.

The game will be anyone edit. Even when it's done and finished.

It will be finished when the plot ends. The plot will end when it is finished! :D

I will try to keep that in mind.

The rest sounds a little like Wiki, that's fine with me.

I'll go ahead and jump in after tokyokid. Hopefully by that point I'll have learned enough about how the editor works to feel like I'm ready to do something like this...

Any chance that if someone's in line they could get a no-edit copy of the hold, say, two turns ahead of time so as to get an idea of where the plot's going and start thinking of where to take it on their turn?

I'm sure you're free to use rooms from here, since it's the same idea.

Any chance of getting the first post edited to show the lineup and whose turn it is?

Hey, wait a second... I know that first floor. You're re-using bits of your holds, Ezlo! :P

Also, any chance that perhaps it might be added to the rules that the hidden desk rooms actually be marked as *secret* rooms? That way the required secret rooms with desks in would be, y'know, officially *secret* ;)
