Ok, let's try it again, only without me screwing up this time eh?
Ok, here's the testament of fortitude that still tried to jump my very high bar. One, yes, you will find very bemusing, however, it is painless, and it might just possibly be Banjooie's favourite level set of all time. Shouldn't take you too long to judge the entries.
Both entrants, feel free to vote for whatever you want. Just don't go creating dummy accounts. As amusing and sophist that was, nefarious plots will not be encouraged.
Here is the additional text for the Lewis and Clark Prelude:

×Most of us in the United States know the general story of the Lewis and Clark Expedition, how this group of mostly men found a passage to the Pacific Ocean. The Discovery Channel has done programs about their encounters with the various Indian tribes they met and their exciting river adventures. Including the many highs and the lows of their adventure. In my researching I discovered little know facts about the preparations for the Expedition. First I introduced you to Captain Meriwether Lewis who began this adventure as President Thomas Jefferson's personal secretary and trusted aide. Lewis lived in a section of the newly built but incomplete White House. In the game you will find that the layout is a close as you can get to the plans that can be found for the Jefferson White House. Second, I introduced you to the less know reality that slaves served in the White House. It was a surprise to me was it to you. Thirdly, I tried to introduce you to the training that Capt. M Lewis and his men did before they ever left to go on this great adventure. While the training subjects are exactly what was covered, my lessons had to be workable in this limited game environment so I took some liberty there. Finally, Like Captain Lewis I was pressed for time in the end as it was time to ship off and had to hurry or I would not meet the deadline. And just like Lewis I was a slight bit over the deadline but not unfairly so. I hope you enjoyed getting ready for the adventure as much as I did.
Voting Criteria:
The voting for this contest will be two fold, although the criteria will be much the same. The voter will vote on the telling of the history/myth. Accuracy will be paramount, entrants should be strongly penalised for making factual errors without a good reason. How entertaining the historical/mythical element of the level set is what you should vote on. Even if a voter has just happened to have studied that particular thing for their PHD, even though you cannot surprise them with twists, weird facts or any other tricks, your interpretation of the tale should be intriguing enough to make it entertaining, in much the same way that people who read the book watch the movie.
As for the game play/design, that too should be judged by how entertaining it is, and also how seamlessly the history/myth integrates into it. Does it go gameplay gameplay gameplay CUTSCENE gameplay gameplay gameplay, or is it a smooth tasty blend like they advertise on TV?
