Yeah, that much I can do. The trouble spot is keeping it in the proper position while circling the room, so it's likely I haven't found the desired configuration.

I'm not sure the best way to show this, but imagine the checkpoint is the pressure plate. Then try to get the gentrii to make this kind of figure, where 1 is the tail and 9 is the head.

This one (2N1W) is a medium-difficulty (at least I think) temporal split puzzle.

Can I make a level layout suggestion? If the river passing through 2N and 2N1W connects to the large lake in 2S, that would make the level feel a lot more cohesive.

Also I'd like to go back on the queue.

I think after this level is complete, we could have a side group of participants edit one or two rooms each to make the level look better. This way, multiple people's styles would go into the level and improve the diversity even further.

Alternatively, Jeff could improve the level himself.

12th, I like the idea!

disoriented, that was a nice simple room! The style is different from the rest of the level though, but that's okay.

12th, you're up again!

Taking a page out of kieranmillar's book, I've added to 1S 1E. Same style, different puzzle! Optional challenge included.

I would like to rejoin the party.

Again I made my room in advance so I'm already done. Added it to 2E. This time it's actually a puzzle, wow!

I'm gonna not rejoin the list this time if that's OK, I see the near future being busier than I'd like and wouldn't want to risk holding up the project. Maybe I'll rejoin at a later date.

Just a note: adding the exit to 1S1E from 1E would trivialize any optimized demo (if this hold got promoted, we would need to change this) by allowing players to record a demo that hits the conquer token from the south entrance. Either add a green door at 1,31 or ask xitvono if it would be ok to move the green door and conquer token such that one can exit to the south without conquering the room (which is one of the harder rooms on the level).

A suggestion: perhaps we should institute a rule where if someone doesn't take their turn within a specified number of days, their turn is skipped. That would help prevent the hold from getting lost in limbo before it's done.

That's mainly the system I have in mind now. After a day, I try to contact the current person to see if they're around. If I haven't gotten a response within another day's time, I'll put them at the end of the queue and move on. If this happens again when their turn comes up, I'll simply drop them.

Of course, I haven't needed to skip anyone yet, which is nice.

Feel free to move the green door and conquer token further south so that one can exit to the south without conquering the room, and also one can't trivially solve the room from the southern entrance. While you're at it, you may want to add checkpoints to my room.

Heh!

All right, done! Here's some mirror manipulation for you.

Sorry, couldn't really add any checkpoints to your room because I didn't solve it. However, I switched the place of the green door and the conquer token.

I want to be around for another round!

Another suggestion: (I seem to be filled with these)

Let architects add "hub rooms" to fill in the space between rooms, allowing easier expansion.

R = room
H = hub room

   R
  RHR
 RRHRR
RHHHHHR
 RRHRR
  RHR
   R

I might have fudged the rules a little bit. I don't mind if we take out the passage I added through blorx1's room, but I think it is rather fun. Please tell me if my room is too irritating, I have something else I could exchange it with.

I'd like to propose the rule that when it's your turn, you download the most recent hold /and then/ add your room in. If you just have to start building your room right now, make it in a separate hold and then copy and paste it to your destination.

This should prevent people from editing different versions of the hold.

So I made a room. That's about all I'd call it. It might work. It might not. Yeah.

Oh, and I added some checkpoints to xitvono's room. I hit some of them in my demo that wastes a lot of time and probably didn't need to hit them.

Edit: I found a US, but it's also kind of clever so I'll leave it in.
