I looked over the rooms and, er, with alpha blending disabled, I don't see any rooms that need to be marked unhighscoreable for unpleasantness. So I'll turn this around and take suggestions from players on that.

None of the custom character images work (for me at least), this ruins the following holds:
Superglue - Goldfinger - El Cheapo's Hold III
Balancing Bucket - Mazer - Cheap is not Expansive
Banana Peel - Tahnan - Cheap Clip Trick (this one is only grafical, the cheap trick still works)
Curious; it works for me. Wait... you don't have the original entries imported, do you? That must be the problem: importing the levels didn't bring the images with them. I'll need to get the images from the architects, if so. Nope, looks like this is actually a bug with copypasta between holds. I'll still need Tahnan's image, though.
I also found, that there are some places where the hold ends. (I mean the entire hold, not just the entry hold)
Whoopie Cushion - Jeff_Ray - The Fracking Bugger (the stairs in 2N if I remember correctly)
How did you get there? :?
Whoopie Cushion - Monkey - Secret Stairs (the script in 1N1W ends the entire hold, instead of the entry)

I may be wrong, but it seems to me, that Balancing Bucket - MeckMeck GRE - Appleland Round-a-round doesn't have an end staircase.
Fixed, thanks.
There was one hold I could'nt finish Balancing Bucket - Pinnacle - The Abyss. Probably it's compleatable, I just could'nt figure it out even with the hints.
There should be a demo. Press F6 in the puzzle room. If there isn't, that needs fixing...

...how exactly did you lure a brained roach onto a force arrow? Could you send me a demo?

I was just trying to compleat The Abyss, and I didn't see any demos in the puzzle room. Maybe this is the same problem like the custom NPC images? Also just before getting to the level, I found an error in the scripting of the entry selection area. I somehow managed to go down the stairs swordless, and when I got to the puzzle I was still swordless. (demo attached)

... Okay, I'm stumped. I know I've successfully used this functionality before... Does it show up in the "Watch Demo" option on DROD's main menu?

That's that bug hartleyhair reported to me in chat yesterday: The scripts don't loop. Already fixed.

Oh, so that's how you do it. I was checking the demos from within playing the room. I didn't know about this feature. So no worries, the demo is there.

All comments should now be addressed. If no one finds anything else in a few days, I'll go on and send it to the Hold administrators.

Small update: Hold is now trivially conquerable. Also, I've attempted a roundabout way of implementing high scores in "Prickly Problem" and "The Fracking Bugger", as the conquer tokens weren't working as expected. See first post.
