And now, the moment you've all been waiting for...
... award-time!
Below is the poll results:
Entry #1: "Golbeno's Annoying Security System" (Rabscuttle) - 8.8571428571429
Entry #2: "Golbeno's" (Watcher) - 8.1428571428571
Entry #3: "Golbeno's Security System" (DiMono) - 4.8571428571429
Entry #4: "High Security" (Doom) - 8.5714285714286
Entry #5: "Golbeno's Treasury" (Maurog) - 4.2857142857143
Entry #6: "Exterminator-proof" (TripleM) - 6.7142857142857
The winner of the poll is therefore entry #1 (Rabscuttle)! Congratulations!
I'm feeling generous today (and I've got lots of mod-points), so I've increased the amounts of rank points you will get. You now get +3 for entering and +7 for solving an entry (and +14 for making an 'unsolved' entry). Here's the list of the rank points you will receive:
DiMono: 3 = 3
Maurog: 3 = 3
TripleM: 3 = 3
Watcher: 3 = 3
Doom: 3 + 7 = 10
agaricus5: 7 + 7 = 14
Rabscuttle: 3 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 10 = 34
Post something in this thread and you will get modded.
I intend to make a compilation hold of the entries, so if any authors want to make fixes to their entries, then you can post them here (I know that at least TripleM had a fix; I withheld the author demos because of that).
Um... that's about everything, I think, although I'm almost certain I've forgotten something.
My brief comments on the holds:
Entry #1: Wow! I haven't had this much fun solving a room since... I don't know when. After looking at the room for about half an hour, I knew exactly what had to be done, but doing it was definitely not easy. I still don't know why I did the wraithwing manipulation in the beginning using TWO wraithwings, and then killed one of them almost immediately after it was done...
Entry #2: I haven't tried solving this room yet, because Rabscuttle got to it before me. I did do a screenshot of the room with everything visible (including the green doors), though.
Entry #3: Well, security systems do have backdoors sometimes, but I didn't like it. And Rabscuttle: it was impossible to cheat in this contest ("
you may use
any means necessary to solve the holds"
).
Entry #4: This room was quite fun, but I don't think it was really as devious as it could/should have been. All puzzles in it were very logical (however, that didn't stop me from having to restart it a lot of times when I realized I had made a mistake (I didn't plan ahead at all when I played this one)), so the room was like an ordinary room, only a bit more difficult.
Entry #5: I'm not sure why you all are complaining about the checkpoint. I think it was appropriately placed (since you can step on it after you've killed the roaches/spiders and still be able to solve the room). The puzzle was too easy, though.
Entry #6: Now this is about what I expected someone to make for this contest (I even made a small program that prints out the monster placement order in a room). Unfortunately, it had a trivial solution. I haven't played this one either (since Wesley beat me to it).

I'm fairly certain that I put the ending time for the poll at 15:00 GMT, but that doesn't seem to be the case (or then there's some miscounting somewhere). I've changed the unhidetime-tag in the first post so that it should reveal the text at the same time the poll ends (I originally had it to reveal the comments one hour after the poll would end, but the tag logic seems to have been fixed, so that is needless now). The correct unhidetime-tag is therefore:
). Actually, now that I look at it again, there's a post later in the thread that explains the exact system used in the room. Hey, there's even a diagram! Dangit! You can look there if you want to know how to solve this room.
