Voting for the Challenge Crafting contest. Compilation hold is in the next post.

There are three entries named "Subterranean Shallows" because the architect submitted only one level with all three, and did not respond in time to a request to clarify. To help disambiguate, I've noted the respective challenges for those rooms in the poll.

Are we expected to vote for the most fun room, or for how well the architect used the challenge given to them, or something else?

In the meantime, maybe you could publish the entire list of challenges that were submitted.

When scoring, please consider both the overall quality of the room and how well they used the challenge.

I'll be providing a full list of challenges and their submitters after voting wraps up.

I've started preparing the compilation for the Architecture board, even though the contest isn't actually over yet.

Part of this is scripting challenges for the rooms that don't have them. However, the contestants who submitted those rooms should have the first shot at naming the challenges. So, if you gave me a room and didn't script your challenge, PM me with what you'd like it to be called and I'll set it up.

In addition, if the entrant who sent in the Subterranean Shallows entries would like to rename any of their rooms, let me know as soon as you can.

Challenge scripting is done, except Three in one's architect hasn't gotten back to me on challenge names so I haven't set those up yet. The Subterranean Shallows entries also have separate names now.

So, I'll be able to start an architecture thread pretty much immediately upon close of the contest.

Less than 8 hours remain! It's a close contest right now, so your ratings could make a big difference.

I mentioned this in passing a few times in the chat thread, but I forgot to mention it here - during the voting period I made a commentated series (Let's Play) of the contest entries, to both show off how I solved them and to help me determine my own opinion about them. So, here's my feedback - hope it's entertaining to watch!

Hey, congratulations to all the other winners! I'm honestly surprised my entry scored so high; during voting, I was mostly just pleased to see that all three of my challenges got used, and also with just how well Hydro Plant took the challenge I wrote as a leaping-off point for a unique puzzle where waiting is genuinely hazardous.

I went with submitting one "normal" challenge prompt, one "unusual but specific requiremnt", and one "silly/requires interpretation" prompt.

When voting, I didn't really write down a proper commentary record, but I tried to think about how good the room was as a room without considering the challenge, how fun or at least interesting the challenge itself was, and how faithful the interpretation of the actual prompt was in producing the challenge. I generally scored a room lower on the "challenge" side if I felt like either (1) the room altered the meaning of the challenge away from what the prompt actually said to the point of needing a bunch of extra explanation (unless the prompt was already worded in a way that made this unavoidable, like my 'don't upset the gentryii fan'), or (2) the challenge the room actually asks for could've been stated much more simply than the prompt's wording (like in Diagonal Domain, where it could've just been stated as "don't take pickaxe").

This post is just for replying to chaco's playthrough...but is also partially a commentary on my entries I guess.

Edit: Oh, and you missed Hydro Plant in your listing and chapters; it's in episode 6.
