This is madness!

I finished making my 12 rooms maybe 20 minutes ago and I'm still fixing bugs in first level!!!!!

This is going to take more time than it should...

No hard feelings. Remember though, you can submit a partial hold as well and still be part of the contest. You just get another 5 mod points if your hold is complete.

Since the popular opinion seems to be that 2 hours is just not enough time, though, I'm going to extend the contest times by half an hour. There are now negative 1018 weeks, 5 days until the holds need to be in. I'm sure everyone is looking forward to seeing what you've all come up with.

Please remember to email the holds to me at cjmarks at gmail dot com, and to send victory demos shortly thereafter.

I'll send my hold in 5 minutes.

And my victory demos too.

No chance of impossible levels.

Currently editing last room.

I've sent in my updated hold and only some victory demos. I lost some of them when I updated the hold and I couldn't move the player to start in the specific room for the demo because it would affect the position of the room. Because I had to go and eat I didn't have time to redo the hold, or rework it in the extra time. Will I be disqualified?

I'll test to make sure the rooms are beatable. If I discover any that aren't, I'll just say no demo is required for them, but the hold is still good for the contest.

I've sent an anyone-edit version just now so that people can skip an impossible room if there are any, although I'm not sure if this will cause problems with room locations.

The first running of Dungeons of Snoll has been completed. To play the holds, and to see who won, browse on over to this thread and check it out. The next one will begin in negative 1018 weeks, 4 days, and will use some brand new themes.

The time has come, once again! With one mighty stroke of his gavel-like hand, King Ballioutay shall reveal the themes he wants for the second run of his audition holds. Stand in awe (again) at the majesty of his task... a second time! The themes for the second running of this competition shall be:

1) Stop-Watch.

2) Hiding in the Bushes.

3) Circular Logic.

King B. has asked me to wish everybody only the best of luck in this endeavor, as he looks forward to seeing each and every entry in this competition. Remember, your entry is due Local Time:10-17-2004 at 07:30 AM, and I'll be making another post at Local Time:10-17-2004 at 07:15 PM to let everyone know the time is nigh.

Alright. Themes will be revealed every half hour, and I'm going to update the top post in this thread with them as well. I will be lurking on the forums during the contest, so if you have any questions please feel free to ask them in the thread, or to send me a PM. And yes, the themes are intentionally vague to allow for more flexibility.

Well, it's Local Time:10-17-2004 at 07:15 AM, which means there's 15 minutes left to get your holds emailed to me at cjmarks at gmail dot com. In what I think is an absolutely amazing turn, while I've been lurking on the forums I've seen all sorts of people present at the tops and bottoms of the hours, but this is the only post that's been made since the contest started. That's power.

Holds should be emailed to me at Local Time:10-17-2004 at 07:30 AM, with demos either immediately following or included, and I will start a new thread at Local Time:10-17-2004 at 08:00 AM in which I'll post a zip file containing all the holds. See you all in a little bit

Alright everyone, the time has come. It's Local Time:10-17-2004 at 07:30 AM, which means it's time to email me your holds and demos. They can come seperately if you like

And remember: A hold that isn't finished is still a valid entry

Man, that's a bad thing to do by accident. You can still use it, but I need it in my email.

Yerf, this is tense. (I got my last demo finished 2 minutes before the deadline.) DiMono, I presume my demos came in ok, so I'm going to go get a snack. See y'all shortly.

Yep, it's all good. I need to know who Daniel is though. Is that you, Rabscuttle?

Correct and resubmit, my friend... as long as it's only a small tweak to get the job done.

(I think Doom's lurking so he can see what comes of the second contest)

I just woke up twenty minutes ago. Of course I'll take a look.

I'll try to beat the levels just for fun.

Of course I should have saved the victory demos before editing.

The rooms should all be solvable.

One is just annoying though. I hate rooms like it.

And guess what? I thought I still had half an hour.

Oh well, sorry DiMono. I would have been on an hour earlier, but my family missed me, and more importantly, my brain, and kept me on the phone for an hour and a half.

And on this day, the seventeenth of October, the lamest excuse in the history of the world was uttered, and the forumites did say, "yeah, okay".

Oh wells, it gave me good practice.

Matt

You can repent by trying out the entries. 3rd place still up for grabs.

Don't worry, Matt, you can still play for 25 points to be handed out by ...you, and if you want you can post what would have been your entry on the forums too.
