Here is the rating poll for the Holds with No Doors contest. There are five official entries, and one unofficial entry (mine).

Rate the six holds using whatever criteria you want, but I'd like to politely request request that you keep in mind the theme of the contest and how well you thought these holds followed the theme.

This poll ends December 12th, 2007, 12:00 GMT. That gives everyone about nine days to play seven short holds, which I believe is reasonable.

Please don't rate Mazer's entry based upon what was attached here.

Instead, look at Mazer's original entry post here for the updated, possible hold.

Urgh, and I've just realised my entry was impossible. I have a possible version, but I suppose that updating is against the rules... *sighs*

Silly me.

For Mazer's "Who needs doors?" - I see what you have to do in 1S1W, but can't manage it.

I agree... can't see how the skipper nest can be destroyed. Voting 5 for this one and hartleyhairs unless a solution can be shown to exist.

I also think Chaco's hold should have been a multiple choice as I really struggle playing holds with no other goal than playing them. I personally don't want to vote as I won't be playing it, but still want my other votes to count. I'll therefore give a 5 although, had it been official, I've no doubt it would be a lot higher. The 2 first rooms look very promising.

It would have been good to have a "I didn't play it" option alongside a "Perfect!", "Great", "Ok...", "Poor". I know you want feedback but I just want to help with getting votes in for official entries.

Overall, I was disappointed by the fact these holds didn't play on the fact doors "ought to be there", and finding ways to re-implement them. Having said that, there are some great puzzles here.

Good luck to all :) Voting...

Well, I'd assumed (and confirmed by looking in the editor) that the builder makes it possible to destroy/destroys the nest once you've killed the snake. (Some scrolls/speech to explain this, and some checkpoints, would have been nice). But I still have the same problem with killing the snake (even though I know how to do it).

I'm not too sure what you mean about the other holds. Chaco's one has yellow and green door equivalents (and a blue door style corridor), as does mine.
Of course, what qualifies as a door-equivalent is debateable, but that's the whole point of the contest.
Of course, your point applies to some of the other holds.

Yeah, exactly... I didn't mention yours as I saw no issue with it.

Thanks for the demo. It's not clear to me what changes you made, since it seems to me that all the rooms were possible originally (you don't need to change the decoy placement in 1W for starters).

Whoops. Sorry to anyone who voted on the previous hold and thought it worse because it was impossible.

I'll change the entry post to point to that post in the thread.

Actually, I had to, because they made it impossible to finish the hold (backtracking problem).

Hmmm... I've just realised I can't re-vote. If an admin could remove my votes (if it's easy enough), I'd be grateful. Mazer deserves a lot more than my original "tis impossible" vote...

No they didn't - it's possible to get the Slayers to stab the decoys if you're clever.

I just can't seem to get the mimic to stab the crumbly wall, it's always one square too far to the west. What am I supposed to do after lighting the top-right fuse?

If it helps, I have the roach going from north to south instead of from east to west when I solve the room.

Anything beyond that is probably going to be a spoiler, so keep toggling the "yellow doors" :)

So how did we all do?

1st Place: Jacob with Look No Doors
2nd Place: Me with Doorless Hold
3rd Place: VIPCOOL with VIPCOOL - No Doors
4th Place: Mazer with "Who needs doors"
5th Place: hartleyhair with "Conspicuous Lack of a Common Element"
6th Place: Neather2 with "Chacho's Dungeon without Doors"

So, what do we get?

As promised, I will not take the second place prize, so the prize breakdown is as follows:

+7 rank points for Jacob
+5 rank points for VIPCOOL
+3 rank points for Mazer

Please reply to this thread in order to receive your rank points.

I have also received a message from Elfstone to the effect that she also wishes to give out rank points to the winners in order to increase the reward, so you may want to look out for a slightly higher amount than I have indicated.

I am very glad that the 5 great architects here have participated. Great going, all of you!

So what's going to happen to the compilation?

I will wait a total of three days for someone to volunteer. If nobody volunteers to compile the entries before December 15th, 2007, I will create the compilation.

Once again, great job to everyone that entered! I had a great time making my entry and I think everybody else did too. There's a large variety of rooms here and I believe people will enjoy playing and optimizing the entries.
