Well, the shallow water and corner floors make it possible, but not necessarily as easy as I think I'd like. Some inward-facing force arrows along the perimeter would fix it but also might look slightly obtrusive and may alter the puzzle slightly.

Here's a variation to that room. It kinda changes a lot of stuff, but it's pretty cool, maybe.

Don't forget to change the scroll -- in your version it still says "Original by Xindaris".

I fixed it once, but copied over the room again, I guess whoever goes after me can do it. Looks like it probably won't be Someone Else who fixes it though.

Hey everyone! Remember this hold? Here's another room! Let's keep it going, we've got a lot of good stuff in here so far.

EDIT: I am dumb and forgot to double check pressure plate associations. Please do not use the previous version of this and only use the version uploaded after April 25th.

Finally got some architecting done. Sorry I'm so stupid with demos; I only know how to export my own. Could someone PM me on what is meant by "export all demos?" :bangin

To the right of the "Export" button in the demo screen (the one you go to with F6) is a button that says "Export All". When you click that button it also asks if you want to export all demos from the entire hold. Tell it yes, and then proceed the same way you would if exporting just one demo. The ".demo" file that it produces will then contain all the demos from that hold that you had when you told it to export, instead of just the one demo you have selected when clicking "Export".

I've attached a complete demo file for Variations 6 since it was missing demos for two of the rooms. Based on my demos for the room you could also potentially add a challenge or two:

C h a l l e n g e !
 Variations 6:2n 

Solve the room without ever using the tunnels.

And because I am a bad person
C h a l l e n g e !
 Variations 6:1n 

Solve the room without ever using the time clone.

Here is my version for Variation 6.

It has a slightly different goal that, while not too hard, may be time consuming.
Enjoy.

Nuntar's with my variation added. I've also added rudimentary challenge scrolls and scripts for not using a timeclone in the original and not using the tunnel in DimWiddy's version. We can hammer out the names and such later.

I'll be truly surprised if it's possible to do my version without staying in the middle for a fair while.

Neat! I gave your challenge a try but couldn't get anything to work without getting at least one keg set up while Beethro was inside the central bit. I don't think it's possible to do without any work in the middle at all, but others will probably come by and prove me wrong. It looks like we're almost at the halfway point, let's keep it going!

Here's a potential idea that I'll toss out that might help keep things moving a bit. What do you guys think about allowing someone to voluntarily "pass" on their turn and go to the end of the line? In other words, if it is your turn to make a room for variations 1 but you just don't have the time at the moment or have been going through an architectural dry spell (hey we all have them), you can chose to let Variations 1 go on to the next person on the list then your name would go to the end so that you have some more time to come up with a room. Thoughts?

Yes I think we should institute this.

Someone Else, DimWiddy, Nuntar: do any of you wish to pass?

Here's a variation on jamesdenem's room. I didn't feel like tracking down the old demos, so it just has my demo.

Sorry the room I made is disgusting, but it's kinda of a nasty template.

Edit: I accidentally removed disoriented's room from this and he posted a fix so download that instead. It's just after my quadruple post.
