Changes:

-Fixed stairway to Widget Wasteland so it actually goes there instead of ending the hold.
-Applied Clock's changes to Twisted Ziggurat (including the extra water tiles).

I'm nearly done with running through the hold - just have one room of Land of Rotation and Exchange, most of Heat Mirages, and Widget Wasteland. Of course, I'll also be redoing any rooms that get changed in this process in ways that break my solution.

Checkpointing issues I noticed:

-Time token in Land of Rotation and Exchange 1S had no checkpoint on it. I've added one.
-Heat Mirages 1N1E had most of its checkpoints under potions, forcing you to commit to using them before getting a checkpoint. This was particularly egregious due to the fact that you would often be forced to get a speed potion or invisibility potion to do it, making the checkpoints less useful overall. I've removed the checkpoints under potions and moved them to places nearby.

Since this is just checkpointing changes, I won't post it until I've run through the rest of the hold just in case somebody posts room adjustments before then. This won't take very long, though, as I just have to wrap up Heat Mirages (started 1N1E but haven't cleared it.)
I would appreciate seeing room changes before the end of the month, but that's not a hard deadline, especially as I haven't posted all of my demos yet; I posted Twisted Ziggurat because I was pretty sure I broke things there. And I broke things in Emerald Iceberg but I don't think they were new breaks. Nothing else I've done was obviously a break.

However, the end of next month will be a hard deadline. At that point, I'm submitting to HA. I think that's a pretty reasonable amount of time. And I'd like to submit sooner than that if possible, so I'd appreciate timely adjustments after I post my demos for the hold.

Just down to All In One now. Since that's my room, I'm posting all the other demos so people can look for ways I may have broken them.

Okay, I ran through that room, and I think I want to look at making some further tweaks. I'll try to get that done promptly. If it doesn't work out, though, I've got a demo for the current version.

Here I include some of my comments to your demos:

I sent you a message with the tweak request regarding 1E.
Otherwise, I'm happy with my entry.

-Changed 1E in Heat Mirages as requested.
-Made adjustments to All In One to hopefully require more tricks. It's a complicated enough room that I wouldn't be surprised if I didn't fully enforce things, though.

If someone tests All In One and tries something cool that doesn't work, there's a nonzero chance I'll try to work it into the solution. But I'm feeling reasonably satisfied with this version.

Here is a demo for the intended solution of Break the widgets 1S. I can see why discovering this solution could be frustrating, but I don't see how moving the widget would help.

Reminder that the end of this month is the deadline for submitting changes to your rooms.

Or you can tell me that you're satisfied with your rooms as of right now, and if everybody tells me that I'll submit the hold to HA earlier.

I am definitely fine with all of my entry right now! Unless I somehow missed a reply since my last update saying that one of my rooms is super broken in a new way, but I've been keeping up with the thread, so that's not too likely.

I've tried and failed at fixing the USes in Emerald Iceberg multiple times, the rooms are so complicated that I was unable to fox things without either creating a bunch of new USes, completely changing how the rooms work from practically the ground up, or changing widgets which wouldn't be allowed.

Bit off a bit more than I could chew with the gimmick of using 3 widgets each in each room, here are demo's for the actual intended solutions if you're curious, I think I've done this right and all 3 demos are in this one file, but tell me if its wrong.

End of the month is very close! So if anyone wants to double-check if they want to make more changes, now is the time.

The end of the month is even closer! If you're thinking about adjusting any of your rooms, now is the time.

It's the 30th here. It's looking less likely I'll get any last-minute changes, but I'm still leaving this open just in case.

In two days I will submit this to HA.

This is it, your last chance to submit changes!

Tomorrow I'm submitting this.
