Congratulations Shorty and Ohbehave! That was a great level.

Nice to know who the other levels were by. A couple of surprises there.

WTG Pam 'n' Kym ... A winning masterpiece - you deserve it

Interesting list of entries - now I can put a name to all those cries of frustration

.. and all the cries of joy when the spoilers came out

Thanks for all the fun everyone (and thanks for the votes - I'm touched

)

Nite all - it's been a long day waiting for Midnight (GMT)

Kazza

Lutz · Post by **Lutz** » Mon Oct 31, 2005 12:26 am

Wow

Congratulation Pam and Shorty. You did a very good job. Your level was a 10 at my rating, too. Congrats to Lillie and Kaz for the medals.

And a big THANK YOU to Mette for doing all the organisation.

It was really a fun contest

and I'm surprised who did which levels - couldn't have guessed. What made me laughing most was the last place for Midnight Synergy

So Patrick, if you want to create a new game you know who you have to ask for the level making stuff

(doesn't mean I don't like your levels

)

And of course I'm happy about my level reaching the 5th. Thanks for your votes

Positives first:

Well done to Kym and Pam for a totally deserved triumph. Your level was head and shoulders above the rest of the entries and was, in fact, the only level I gave a perfect 10, (and you all know how hard to please I am).

I gave it 10 for all 3 categories, (it was, in my opinion, the only level to meet all 3 perfectly), and checking back to my notes I actually wrote on finishing it:

Fantastic level. Has it all.
Brilliantly thought out. Great fun to work this one out.

Well done to you both.

Well done to the other winners too.

On the negative side:

184 people downloaded the levels. 25 voted.

What's that all about?????

Assuming our 21 competitors did vote, it means only 4 people outside the competition bothered to take the time to vote!!!!!

I really don't know what to say, but I'll bet you all know what I'm thinking.

Bear

btw.

In 20th place: Entry L - Wonderland Physics 401 by Midnight Synergy - 118 points

Serves you right, Patrick.

janetgalle · Post by **janetgalle** » Mon Oct 31, 2005 2:45 am

Congrats you two! (On 1st place.)

And congrats you other two too! (For 2nd and 3rd)

I am so glad that the top 3 were all levels that I could actually finish!

<------This is for you! (MMMM Smack!)

jg

PS: Thanks Mette for all your work.

jcvalcar2 · Post by **jcvalcar2** » Mon Oct 31, 2005 3:13 am

Congratulations Kym and Pam, I am very happy for both of you.

And Lillian and Kazza, congratulations to you two as well. I knew you all would be in the top finals and this is well deserved. I have enjoyed all your levels. I too was surprised at a few of the level makers, trying to guess who did what was a test in itself.

Thank you again Mette for doing this. I enjoyed the experience.

ann3120 · Post by **ann3120** » Mon Oct 31, 2005 5:33 am

CONGRATULATIONS to you both, Pam and Shorty. I know you put a lot of work into your level. I just loved the opening moves with the "box train". I thought that was so cute. I do wish I could say that I finished your level, but sob

sob

as hard as I tried, I was unable to do it. I'll keep trying.

Lily and Kazza - I did both of yours - thank you so much.

And many, many thanks to all the rest of our very talented creators - and that includes you too, Patrick - it was a great competition and I'm sure we all enjoyed it. I do wish more people had taken the time to vote - I'm sure they enjoyed playing the levels. Yes, they were mostly very difficult to play and there were many I couldn't finish, but it was still possible to give each level a score based on your initial and over-all impression - and the level of fun involved in trying, over and over and over to finally finish.

And to you, Mette, should go the biggest THANK YOU for putting it all together. Without you, it wouldn't have happened.

Great fun was had by all.

drushing · Post by **drushing** » Mon Oct 31, 2005 5:54 am

Congratulations Shorty and Ohbehave for taking 1st place, Lillian for 2nd as well as Kaz for 3rd! Your levels deserved it! I enjoyed playing or trying to play everyone's levels and think they were all wonderful!
A great big thanks to Mette for suggesting and organizing everything too!
Well done everyone!
I think Midnight Synergy made a stinker of a level so no one else would be last!! Ha Ha!
Last but not least thanks for the votes on my entry. It makes me feel good especially since it was my first attempt at level making!

Lst_1 · Post by **Lst_1** » Mon Oct 31, 2005 7:42 am

You are a bit wrong,I didn't vote.So that at least 5 people outside voted.

Looking forward the next competicion.

Liz Mayhew · Post by **Liz Mayhew** » Mon Oct 31, 2005 8:04 am

BRILLIANT, FAB AND WONDERFUL

Kymmie and Pam - your level was the absolute tops for me too (but I was way off with my guess who made it!

). You truly deserve the gold cup.

Lillie and Kaz (I guessed rightly those were your levels

). Congratulations to you both.

Thanks so much Mette for organising this whole lot of fun (strangely I guessed that EntryF by DKGiz, was your level

).

I felt so sure I knew who had done most of the levels. And was I wrong!

popo · Post by **popo** » Mon Oct 31, 2005 8:30 am

Congratulations to Kym and Pam for getting first prize, and to Lillie and Kaz for second and third.

Well done, too, to everyone who managed to submit a level, a lot of hard work went into them all.

I really don't know what to say, but I'll bet you all know what I'm thinking.

I was one of the people who downloaded the levels and didn't vote.

My reason is that I only managed to do one level out of the whole lot. The rest were either too difficult or I lost interest ((as I have been doing a lot lately)(I never bothered looking at the spoilers btw)). So seeing as I had to give a score for all of them, all but that one would have be 'nil points', and so I didn't bother voting at all.

I have just found out, and I swear to God that I didn't know beforehand, that the one I did complete was Maureens's. How spooky is that?

Davimad · Post by **Davimad** » Mon Oct 31, 2005 2:18 pm

Congratulations Pam and Kym for a superb level, well deserved win girls.

To Lilo and Kazbah for 2nd and 3rd place, well done you two.

Thanks everyone for all the smashing levels, I hadn't a clue who made what except for one. Janet was my only correct guess, the model was fab JG.

Special thanks to Mette for organising this event, great fun hon. x

Btw Poops, I suppose you could complete my level cos it was the simplest of them all. I thought there would be a few shocked faces when they saw I'd entered.
How could I possibly let my daughter in law down?

Thanks for giving me some points folks but I'll leave the editor to the talented people here.

Once again, congrats to everyone.

Lillian · Post by **Lillian** » Mon Oct 31, 2005 2:28 pm

A HUGE well done to Pamster and Fruitybun!!!!! I just loved your level - didn't have a clue who had made it! In fact - I guessed most of the level creators wrong

Thanks everyone for voting for mine - I was extremely suprised and happy to see the results today! Kazzbag - you did a great job too hon (no change there then

)

Special thanks to Mette for organising it all - well done sweetie and thanks for all your hard work. Well done everyone who entered - you all did a grand job!

Shame a few more people didn't vote - oh well there is always the next time I guess

Gen · Post by **Gen** » Mon Oct 31, 2005 4:10 pm

CONGRATULATIONS ON 1ST TO KYM&PAM, 2ND TO LILLIE, AND 3RD TO KAZZA!

Congratulations also to all the other creators and thanks for your levels! The entire competition was fun!

SPECIAL THANKS to METTE for her organization and time spent to put the whole competition together! Without her, we would not have had the fun we had.

MANY THANKS TO ALL INVOLVED!

Jacks13 · Post by **Jacks13** » Mon Oct 31, 2005 4:58 pm

Congratulations to the winners, runner-ups and all who took the time to make levels .........and post spoilers for the likes of me...

.
Just for the record, I would like to mention that I did vote. Despite the fact that some levels were way too hard for me, I truly tried my best, but I honestly think all levels were worth a few points even if I couldn't complete them. I have to confess, although I really liked the winning level, the two coins by the rolling boulders .....????

that got me beat, sorry. I was pleased to see my perfect 10 come 2nd. ( No spoiler needed either

)
Thanks to Mette for everything.
So when is the next competion???

Pat · Post by **Pat** » Mon Oct 31, 2005 5:34 pm

The winning level also got a perfect score from me. Congratulations to everyone who participated in this enjoyable experience. It really is disappointing that more votes weren't cast.

MAGSTAR24 · Post by **MAGSTAR24** » Mon Oct 31, 2005 7:36 pm

Congrats to Pay and Kimmie, great level and well thought out. I had attempted to put names to all the levels but was a bit off the mark. I actually thought this was a Majic level, it was so good. Congrats to Lillian and Kaz also but most of all thanks to ALL who competed, it was great to see such a broad range of levels which I really appreciated. Never did get to finish them all but knew what had to be done and didn't want to use spoilers. A big pat on the back to you all. A bit disappointed with the lack of input from the players though, it was an opportunity to contribute feedback to all the level makers for their dedication and hard work.

mette · Post by **mette** » Mon Oct 31, 2005 10:26 pm

My favorite was actually Kiki's "Big, Blue and Beyond" with entries A, I, Q, and R (random order) right behind it

We all have different tastes, eh

How about a kids level competition shortly after New Year's? I can do the organizing again if you all want me to

Mette

Shorty · Post by **Shorty** » Mon Oct 31, 2005 10:31 pm

Sounds awesome Mette

That would be grrrreat!!

kiki · Post by **kiki** » Mon Oct 31, 2005 10:58 pm

Thanks Mette, I'm glad you enjoyed my level.

I think a kids level after the New Years would be great.

I was thinking It would be fun to have a competition sometime, But everyone has to use the same Items and only so many items can be used, Say like two of each item and so on or what ever amount is agreed upon. Just an idea, I wont be hurt if know one likes the idea, Oh and Only in the 14 x 14 space. So what do you all think?

Loirae · Post by **Loirae** » Tue Nov 01, 2005 12:37 am

Thanks Mette. I'm glad you liked my "Q", otherwise known as Sink and Destroy.

I love the idea of a kids level competetion. Sounds like fun. And no doubt, everyone will be able to finish these...

Duiveltje · Post by **Duiveltje** » Tue Nov 01, 2005 7:58 am

O yes, the best will win Congratiolations girls.

But I have to say there all were very good and pretty (and hard), but some are better.

Big kisses from me

Post by **Midnight Synergy** » Wed Nov 02, 2005 12:30 am

Woohoo!

I'm number 1, I'm number 1!!!!

Oh wait...

I'm holding this list the wrong way!

Congrats to all the level makers!

And now you know who the 'exception' was that I mentioned in the other thread, who tried to make a level as inhumanly difficult as possible on purpose.

Cheers all!

Sorry to get off topic for a minute.

I know a lot of people managed to work out the generator bit, but how about you tells us how swapping two wooden boxes round makes any difference. Bjarne obviously tried it more than I did and got a result. I tried it once (clutching at straws at the time) and they still broke, so I assumed that was the red herring and looked elsewhere.

A wooden box is a wooden box, surely, so what's the trick???
