By 'gamma tester' I mean all parts of the hold have been beta tested to some degree. Rather than uploading directly to Holds, I want to hand the hold off to some people for a few more run-throughs. (Way back when I first started the hold there were two people who only wanted to try the hold when it was in a complete state -- if you're still out there and interested, please let me know.)

It's around 90 rooms long, and the difficulty is fairly high. One tester rated the difficulty at 8 brains out of 10 and another gave it 9.

Recordings made while playing would be much appreciated.

Any takers? I'll send out on Saturday and I want to release around September 15, so you'd have 2 and a half weeks. PM me directly on here or drop an email to jdyer41@aol.com.

Sounds like one hold I'll be giving a miss. Heheh.

The gamma test has been sent.

I'll still take volunteers, if anyone wants a go.

Well, it's not difficult in the 'five tar mothers in a maze' sort of way, so it may still be worth a go. You'll need every trick in the book as far as movement goes, though.

I'll give it a try.

I'm a rookie DRODer, and if you want, I can gamma test and report back how a new DRODer would find the hold.
