Also, Is it allowed to add a CMD 21 at the starting point to explain some of the plot?
It is NOT allowed to add a CMD 21, sorry!

PM me if you want help with some of the mechanisms. I know how most of the WLVs were designed to work.

DP can we change music? Because none of the patches have music in them.

Yeah, sure. No custom music, though!

It's the 15th, and the deadline is the 19th. Please keep working on your entries!!!

P.S. Even if nobody has given their patched together entries by the 19th, I'll still choose a winner from your "Patch" scores. This means that making a patched together entry will give you a massive advantage over people who didn't make one, even if your entry isn't very good.

Okay, right. Well, I was going to do a plot that utilized CMD 22 a ton, but I forgot that CMD 22 is glitchy, so since it is, I'm going to have to scrap the whole thing in favor of a plot that doesn't use CMD 22 at all.

But there aren't any CMD 22s in the patches, and you can't add them...

EDIT: Except in dialogues, if that's what you meant. :)

Yeah, they were in dialogues, but it doesn't matter now anyway.

I'll let you do that, but they can't interact with the playing area in any way. For instance, they can't block a certain path.

BTW, I've just received Nobody's patched together entry! It's perfectly legit, so big cheers to Nobody. :)

My computer is currently down, (I'm posting this from my Dad's laptop), so this challenge will have a SMALL delay. My computer should be back in my hands within 24 hours. :)

Try zipping the folder and sending it now.

Well, we took the computer to the repair shop today, and it's officially dead. We're getting a temporary replacement in a few days, but it's still going to be some time before I'll be able to do Wonderland-ish stuff. :(

WONDERLAND COMMUNITY CHALLENGE 6: RESULTS!!!
Week 1 Results
Yzfm: 20 points. I thought that the golden simplicity of this patch was good, but just not particularly interesting.
Fluffsherry: 23 points. Just a regular puzzle area. Nothing bad, by any means, just a bit too... normal? I dunno.
Nobody: 25 points. It was difficult to choose between this entry and Fluffsherry's, but I thought the puzzles were slightly better. It's still the same idea and layout, though.
Wonderman109: 28 points. This patch has the same idea as Fluffsherry's and Nobody's, but it has some unique (and useful) gameplay elements.
Emerald141: 30 points. Emerald's patch has a nice, simple design that told many important plotpoints in week 2.

Week 2 Results
Yzfm: No entry on time
Wonderman109: No entry on time
Nobody: 40 points. Nobody's and Fluffsherry's entries are REALLY similar, in both storyline and design. Basically, the void is springing up all over the place for a random reason. They also have very sudden endings. Overall, however, I thought that Fluffsherry's storytelling wins this round.
Fluffsherry: 45 points. Very similar to Nobody's entry, just slightly better.
Emerald141: 55 points. The clear winner!!! It has an entertaining storyline with a real plot and satisfying ending. The dialogue is funny, too.

RESULTS FROM BOTH WEEKS
Yzfm: 20 points
Wonderman109: 28 points
Nobody: 65 points
Fluffsherry: 68 points
Emerald141: 85 points

Congratulations to Emerald's fantastic patching skills! He will be the creator of Wonderland Community Challenge 7!

Thank God I didn't enter this one. I wouldn't have chances to beat Emerald :lol: Sticking things up seems so hard to me...
Good job, guys. Congratulations to YotYot - this was the most intresting and original WACC so far (considering I took part in none of them :oops: ).

Let's see what WACC7 will be.

(EDIT: DP)

NOTES OF REASONS I SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN (SLIGHTLY) BETTER SCORES:
1. My patch wasn't 'regular', you could go through it two ways. If I had known everyone else would do Entrance A and Exit B, I would have done Entrance B and Exit A.
2. The way Fluffsherry used Emerald's patch was kind of a let-down for me. In mine it was built up as a significant encounter, in his it was more "hurr durr i can stop the void". Although I guess his usage of Emerald's patch is also my ending in a nutshell.
3. My ending was less abrupt than his. He just gave you the star, I said that the star was the way to (potentially) make things right, and also gave an explanation for why the Void was coming in the first place.
4. Which he didn't have.
5. My thing was also trying to be a bit more humorous, what with the 'egotistical sign writer' arc that lasted the first three patches. Although I guess the adventures weren't supposed to be humorous.
6. Fluffsherry didn't make any texture adjustments or music additions, I did. He didn't even change MY patch, which I purposely made SO people could change it.

PRAISE TO EMERALD TIEM:

1. His patch has a lot of storytelling potential with the king and the rainbow teleporter, although like I said Fluffsherry's usage of it was a let-down.
2. From the very start, his writing and scenery was epic. Made me wish I'd tried harder.
3. Pirate101 reference. Instant +5 points from the cruddy score he got.
4. He somehow DIDN'T use all those tropes mine and Fluffsherry's shared. Usually he averted them brilliantly.
5. The whole 'who to trust' thing that kept escalating was awesome.
6. Side note-what about the pirate you freed? The one who looked like a Wee Stinker? Does he ever get caught?

Please can you create your challenge, Emerald? Just when I manage to collect 5 entries and save WACC, it's completely forgotton by the next creator. :(

If you're really busy, I could create WACC7 for you. Just please don't let this die out again!
