Alright. I suppose we'll allow abe10 to pass for now. brian_s will be pushed behind him, and we'll give him another day to post after abe does. If he still doesn't, we'll issue the 2nd strike, as per the plans of the three strikes rule.

I apologize in advance if I forget to issue any of the following, for I am an easily distracted person

1. abe10
2. brian_s
3. Shendy
4. NoahT
5. Jeff_Ray...
6. Someone Else
7. Pinnacle

9. disoriented
10. 12th Archivist

13. azb
14. Ezlo
15. blorx1
16. They betray me, they didn't keep their promise, they tricked me, and I don't care no more.

This sucks. I don't check the forums the one day my turn happens to come up, and by the time I do get in I find out I get a strike.

It's alright. You'll get to pass once abe submits his room, and the strike will be removed once you've submitted your room.

I just needed to keep the ball rolling, since I wouldn't want to see this project fail, as would many others. I guess it was a bit unfortunate how things turned out, but I frankly couldn't see it coming...

EDIT: Maybe strike is a bit of a rough word to use... anyone know of any softer synonyms?

Someone could look through these pages.....

http://thesaurus.com/browse/strike?page=17

My room has two difficulties. Confusingly tough, or ultra easy. Enjoy beating it the hard way!!!!! I truly wonder if ANYONE will be able to beat it.

On a side note, What is with that isolated room to the north west? If it is for decoration, then I would like to add 2 rooms of my own. You can use them to see what all styles look like, just by scrolling.

I like it. I'll use that term from now on. "Strike" could give people the feeling they've committed an infraction, when sometimes (like with brian) it is due to something out of their control. I can see how that might be frustrating...

Time to go modify the first post!

EDIT: For those who believe they might not be around to pass when their turn comes up, I added a way for you to be put on "placehold". Basically, people will pass until you check in (through PM or topic). After you're back and ready to contribute, if your turn came up, your position will be saved.

The isolated room to the NW is mine, there were no rules against making one that wasn't connected to anything. People can make rooms that connect to it if they'd like.

It was a challenge, but I beat abe's challenge! However, little problem: there's no way to leave 3N1E from your room! Adding a raft would solve that problem.

For some reason, I hadn't even noticed...

As for hallways, I don't really see how they'd make it easier to travel. They'd take up space and make it longer to backtrack from one end to another. I'm willing to hear your counter-arguments, however.

Here is my contribution, right before bedtime.

I plan to have some decorative hallways in each room I make so that later architects can build off them.

Jeffray, do you plan on starting a new level each time your names comes up? I'm still up for a third room in this hold.

I suppose I can make the third level when my name comes up. As usual though, you can build in any existing level. I'm actually thinking of building some levels in one go and then drawing the line there, so that we may have some sort of visible finish line. I think we'll set our sights for four levels. Any other level number suggestions?

Also, a thought that just came to mind: bundling the previous Passing hold with this one in the final version. What does everyone else think?

Next up, NoahT!

I would like to participate in this. Can you please put me in a placehold mode? I will be unavailable for about a day and a half, I would just like to sign up in advance.

EDIT: Nevermind, just sign me up normally, without placehold mode.

I am pretty sure this room should work as intended (if not, just let me know), and it also connects Ezlo's room to the rest of the level. I made a few other additional tweaks, namely reopening access to Elfstone's room, fixing the stairs in the entrance rooms, and expanding the puzzle in my first room.

Well, it's my turn again!

I created Levels 3 and 4, and added an exit room for Level 2. I think four levels is a good enough number to aim for. After we're done with that, a final level will be made to check the clearing of the 4 levels, and that should be it for this hold!

Don't be afraid to add more rooms to Level 2 though. It actually looks a bit small in comparison to Level 1

The passage leading to it was removed for some reason, so I put in a pair of tunnels leading to it. BTW, I completely approve of the choice of Saint-Saëns Organ Symphony for the music in the room.

Okay, new room with a challenge! It's more about execution than puzzle, but I think it's still pretty good.

Hello. The progress is coming, but then I realized that Elfstone used custom music. I gave it a shot, and would great appreciate your opinions on my music choices.


EDIT: 8P. For some stupid reason, I cannot load my room. Oh well. Here are links to the songs on Youtube. You enter the room and Better plays. You beat the room and Cupid's Revenge plays.
youtube .com/watch?v= S20wPeZvlTQ Better

Copyright problems here, my friend. These are songs that are created by another artist, so they're most likely not public domain. The HA don't allow holds with copyrighted content past the authorization process. So for custom music, you should seek to make your own music, or pick something from public domain.

Elf seems to have created the music herself, or taken it from the public domain, from what I assume. I'll need to look deeper to make sure it's all legal, though.

Sorry...
