That's right! Passing of the Hold is back! Oh, some of you probably don't know what it is. Allow me to explain!

The concept is simple. One person makes a room, then the next one adds a room! However, to avoid people piling up on the hold, people who wish to add a room will line up in a queue, and one by one they add to the hold.

Example:

Person 1 makes a room
Person 2 says they'll make one.
Person 3 says they'll go next.
Person 4 does the same.
Person 2 posts the room.
Person 3 posts the room.

[And so on]

I'll try to keep track of the queue for simplicity's sake.

Rules:

-Add a scroll in the entrance mini-map to indicate which room you made.
-Use the player file provided in the following post to build the hold, or else we'll be stuck with a hundred "Originally made by" notes in the description. :P
-Your room needs to be beatable. This should be obvious.
-You can ONLY modify someone else's room to make a way to your room. DO NOT MODIFY UNDER ANY OTHER CIRCUMSTANCES UNLESS YOU ASKED THE CREATOR! Also, don't break the room. That's not nice.
-After making a room, you can apply to make another room! But you'll have to wait your turn!
-Be sure you download the latest version before editing! A trick, start from the latest post, and go backwards until you find an attachment of the hold. This should usually point you to the latest version. :)
- (NEW!) If someone doesn't pass the hold in a reasonable time (~2 days), the next person in queue will go ahead, and their name will turn yellow. When they pass again, if they don't answer the second call, I'll let the next 5 people pass. If they remain inactive during that time, I'll place them at the end of the current queue. After that, if they don't contribute still, I'll simply remove their name. This doesn't mean they are banned from the Passing, however. They are free to re-apply afterwards.
---If you suspect your turn will come up at a time where you won't be around, let me know, and I'll put you on "placehold" until you return, which means that I'll allow people to pass before you. Your turn will come up the one after you check back in, if your turn came up beforehand.

Original topic for the interested. Warning: IT IS OLD!!

Without further ado, here's the hold we'll be using, with the first room (1N) added. A rather simplistic pressure plate puzzle to start us off!

Here's the player file you must use when modifying the hold, for simplicity's sake.

Very well! :D

I'd like to add that after you've passed, you're allowed to pass again. You can make as many rooms as you'd like, but you'll have to wait for your turn. :P

Here's the current queue:

1. 12th Archivist
2. kieranmillar
3. This could be you!

Good! I'll put myself in once everyone else has passed. :P

1. 12th Archivist
2. kieranmillar
3. xitvono
4. Me!
5. An unknown stranger from the future, perhaps?

For now, it's 12th's turn to make a room! We'll wait for him to add his room!

Something I thought about adding to the rules: if the person in front of the queue doesn't post anything in, say, 1 or 2 days, I'll skip their turn and put them at the end of the current queue, in order to keep the flow going.

What does everyone think?

I guess I'll sign up now that we'll be far enough away from the level entrance that any of my horrible creations won't be the first thing people see.

Alright. :)

I'd like to note that we don't need to be linear in our room creation. The next three people could very well make rooms right next to mine (1N). :P

I had already made my room yesterday slightly in advance, so I'm already finished.

Stats about my room:
Number of lynchpins: 0
Number of rattlesnakes: 6
Unnecessary scripting: Yes
Complete theme change within a level: Yes
Proportional hold file size increase: 2900%

Boy oh boy what a room. :thumbsup

xitvono's turn now.

Jeff can I request being added back into the queue? Let 12th go ahead of me if he also wants to rejoin.

Very good entries, you two! :D kieran's was fun and enjoyable, whereas 12th's... I have no idea how to do it. :P It's a really tough room compared to the one right before it, but it's fine. The previous iteration had some real toughies not too far from the start as well. :P That said, it looks like a good puzzle, if I could just solve it. xD
