Re: Limited Resources // Poll (+2)

Here are the holds !

I just continued playing the holds and saw that robin´s hold dosent fit the criterias. Robins Hold has only 2 rooms. However the holds should have at least 6 rooms. You may rate his hold, but however, he isn´t able to win something.

Re: Limited Resources // Poll (+1)

Entry 2 isn't playable in-game, because Dali seems to have forgotten to set the stair destination for every single stairs.

Fortunately you can play the hold in editor.

And Meckmeck. Good job on packing the entries! I was expecting I'd have to download them from separate posts, but you made it the clever way! :thumbsup

*starts to play*

EDIT:

Which entry # is mine? Obviously, seeing as I already have a copy of my entry, I can't tell which hold is mine, as I already imported several entries and would get several "this hold is the same as another hold" errors.

Re: Limited Resources // Poll (0)

What should people be voting for? Popularity? Good looks? Whoever's name makes the coolest anagram?

I'm not trying to be harsh, but these questions will come up. Besides, I hope to vote, and I haven't followed the contest at all.

Re: Limited Resources // Poll (0)

Ah, fun. That clears everything up. I just have to find out which hold number is mine, beat some of the harder challenges (mostly Jacob's

), and vote.

Re: Limited Resources // Poll (0)

Jeez. In the main dungeon part of my hold, there is a lot of sword clashing in 2S1W. I didn't realize that -- you can turn the sound effects down, hold-players. Also, remember the wise words of the 59th sword crafter.

By the way, Chaco, it's sort of funny how the UAA thing worked out. I guess that the UAA divided over something and, as a result, chose different seals. Maybe it divided over which seal to adapt.

Ah, so mine is #3. Goodie.

I've seen some good stuff, but I'll hold back on commenting specifically until after the poll.

Re: Limited Resources // Poll (0)

I'm not sure if anyone voted yet. However, I'd like to adapt a system where holds are voted upon from 10-20 out of 20. With the current system, I would give basically everyone a 9 or 10. Perhaps more of a distinction should be made.

On the other hand, if there is just one voter who doesn't know about this, it could mess up the results.

You voted on a hold you haven't started?

I don't find this totally fair. You do have a week and 4 days more to play around with the holds afterall...

Re: Limited Resources // Poll (0)

Almost missed this:

In Chaco's entry (#3: Limited Resources Entry) there is one more level after "Two flights down", but the stairs end the hold instead of going there.

Be sure to play the final level in editor to see all about Chaco's entry!

Re: Limited Resources // Poll (0)

I *know* I checked that, but I'll fix it anyway. I thought it was nice that I managed to squeeze three whole levels out of my stuff at the small cost of not putting any puzzles in a few rooms.

EDIT:

And here's the fixed entry.

I started the hold, but it's no fun for me,
and we're supposed to vote by fun,
I played through enough holds, so I know when I don't like it.
I'm not going to play something I don't like,
what doesn't mean I won't play anything from that architect anymore offcourse.

If you want I change the line, I'll do it.
I don't want to offend someone :thumbsup

Re: Limited Resources // Poll (+1)

I sent my hold some time ago, but I guess it got itself lost in cyberspace (and probably is ineligible for entry anyway). So, having seen the similar problems in the main contest thread, I'm not going to make a fuss about it, and I'll just post it here, and you can play/rate it if you so wish.

Nevertheless, am I still eligible for contest participation, or do I miss out this time?

Hopefully this is the last contest that we'll have this kind of problem.

Next month, I propose to use a submission thread.

Re: Limited Resources // Poll (0)

I voted on the holds. Nearly all of them were very well done. I have to admit that I felt the same was as robin for some of the holds...just looking at the rooms made me tired, and I wasn't really willing to take too much time to solve them. In that respect there were three or four holds that were especially the most fun for me. But I still rated the really hard ones relatively high, because I really appreciated what they were able to do with their limited resources. It's tough when you are told to vote based on something extremely subjective like "fun", since of course everyone has a different opinion.

I had one hold that was a runaway favorite for me, but I will wait until after the polling is over to post it (if I remember).

Game on,

Re: Limited Resources // Poll (0)

I have voted. I've seen some quality work here, even under the restrictions. Everyone did a great job.

My only gripe is that, at times, the puzzles seemed a little bit too hard to be fun. But that didn't happen *too* often.

Looking forward to the official contest compilation!

It says at the top of the poll how long the poll will last for. From the time you posted, you still have 1 week and 2 days.
