"Small World" Level Competition

Post by **Midnight Synergy** » Wed Jan 28, 2004 11:38 pm

Hey folks,

just to let you know that I will be offline for a few days. Probably Fri-Mon or something like that. Just in case you send in a competition entry and don't get a confirmation reply from me.

One more week to go!!!!

I've been thinking the same thing----did everyone go on vacation??? I was so tickled to see your new levels!!!

Hi everybody,

I have just posted my level for the comp, it's probably not very good but at least I tried!

Thank goodness for anonimity, for a week anyway!

Good luck to all.

Maureen.

Oh, I'm sure it will be great!!!! You entered, that's the important thing. I hope everyone does, this was a great idea-----maybe if enough of us enter, we'll have enough new boards to play for awhile!!!!

Hey Admin

... I know there's only a day or 2 to go but how are the entries coming along? How many have been sent in???

I'm sure I'm not the only one not sleeping these last couple of days

...reminds me of my eldest girl (miss 3). My wife & girls have been staying with her family in Sydney while our new (old) house is being renovated. Last time I went to visit I rang up the day before & told Miss 3 I was coming down the next day to see her. She was so excited she couldn't get to sleep till about 2 in the morning... still fast asleep by the time I got there!

Just curious as to how many new levels we've got to look forward to.

One for DG,

If I don't have any rubber soled shoes will a pair of thongs (foot thongs) do?

LAST CALL FOR ENTRIES!!!!

About another 24 hours to go for entries. So far we've had 10 entries, and each entry should have received a little "thanks, got it" reply from me... so check your e-mail and make sure you have your "receipt".

Best of luck to everyone...

eeyore31 · Post by **eeyore31** » Tue Feb 03, 2004 11:42 am

Only 10?????

Come on everybody!!! This is the last day---you still have time!!! I know the first custom board 'Smell the roses NOT' was downloaded 90 times----remember how fun it was to play it???? That's how we will feel if you send in a board. PLEASE help us make this a huge success......send a board in....join the fun!!!!!

PS Good luck everyone!

Hey Robbie,
Is it warm enough down there to be wearing thongs?
I'm jealous!

My entry will not be in the top three, but I'd still love to hear peoples comments. It's really too hard to be what I would call enjoyable. A really tough start.

I am really looking forward to your entry. I think LinkyNStoof will also post an excellent one.
eeyore31, , SharonM, Dianna, majic1, LeanDemon, milchi, BruceB !!!!!!!

What does everyone have in store???

eeyore31 · Post by **eeyore31** » Tue Feb 03, 2004 6:27 pm

nothing special, just a little fun

Robbie · Post by **Robbie** » Tue Feb 03, 2004 10:40 pm

Hi DG

Yeh, even at work I've just been wearing sandles. You get snow over there this time of year right? Over Christmas/January we had temps in the low 40's (that's Celcius - from what I've seen you guys have your temps in F rather than C) - some places got up to 46 or so. Now it's a relatively nice 30's - mid 30's.

I'm sure you'll do fine. Whoever gets winning positions is not something I think any of us are really worried about anyway - we're more interested in what everyone else has come up with. A little sad we've only got 10 entries so far - maybe a few more will come in at the last minute. You can count on great quality though if the regular postings are anything to go by (great series recently majic1!).

There's a core group of great contributors (as you mentioned) but I'm sure there's heaps more that'll jump on board really soon. Maybe a few rising stars will come out of the comp.

Also looking forward to the re-emergence of BruceB who had some really thoughtful KaBoom levels.

Currently we've got 123 members, 70 with no posts & just 22 with more than 5 postings. It's great to see that there's plenty of downloading happening & I'm sure that however many offerings we get for the comp it can only increase the interest & participation and that's something to look forward to.

While I've been pretty slack posting responses to everyones levels I'll definitely be making an effort to respond to everyones comp ones...

Just one day to go!

Robbie

Okay, after much debate with my children, I finally decided on a level to enter.

I hope it does well in comparison with everyone else's. What I mean to say is I hope it is comparable and not too silly.

Anyway, it was fun to make.

Post by **Midnight Synergy** » Wed Feb 04, 2004 2:45 am

Almost there......!

I actually am happy with the # of submissions - we're at 12 now, and a few might sneak in something just under the wire. I was hoping for 10 - after all this community is just getting started!

Tick tock tick tock....

Davimad · Post by **Davimad** » Wed Feb 04, 2004 11:44 am

SILLY? WAIT TIL' YOU SEE MINE! I THINK THAT WEE DAVIMAD SHOULD LIE LOW FOR A WHILE. teehee.

MY HUSBAND THINKS THAT I AM IN MY DOTAGE!!!!!!!!!

SharonM · Post by **SharonM** » Wed Feb 04, 2004 12:18 pm

I can sympathize Davimad,
My husband is glad I got involved with a good on-line community, but he's beginning to wonder about my obsession!

I'm sure yours is great, everyone is so creative, I just look forward to seeing them all.

One more day, WOOHOO!

DiscGolfer · Post by **DiscGolfer** » Wed Feb 04, 2004 12:58 pm

Davimad,
I'm sorry I left you out. (and anybody else I forgot/neglected, etc)

Davimad · Post by **Davimad** » Wed Feb 04, 2004 4:01 pm

Thanks for the vote of confidence Sharon, believe me, you will soon change your mind!

DG, I don't blame you for leaving me out.
This is the first level (maybe the last) from me, everyone else has worked so hard compiling these wonderful levels.

Finally, I must say that I log on to the site first thing in the morning, happy days when I see some new comments.

Isn't it lovely, we come from so many different parts of the world and yet
we bond in Wonderland!

Take care

Maureen.

Don't make it your last. The best way to refine your levelmaking skills is to make more of them!

SharonM · Post by **SharonM** » Wed Feb 04, 2004 10:21 pm

Yes, Davimad,
By all means, please keep at it. What makes this site so wonderful is the diversity of the people and their creativity!

I check out the boards most of the time several times a day! Even if I don't have time to leave any comment, I enjoy seeing what is happening in Wonderland! Level making is fun and I promise we won't eat you!

We're waiting.....

Post by **Midnight Synergy** » Thu Feb 05, 2004 1:33 am

Well,

I guess it's Feb 5th on part of the planet now... so, as Stinky and Loof would say:

HEREWEGO!!!!!

See the Level Packs section for the contest entries. 14 of them! (funny coincidence, given the 14x14 requirement... you folks have magical powers!!!!)

I've left out the usernames for now (by your requests), and will add them only after the winners are announced. Some of you already gave lots of hints about your levels, so you might be able to figure out who's who anyhow (at least for a few of the levels).

I've also started a separate thread (and made this one un-sticky and locked it) for your votes/discussions/solutions/etc.

Have fun... don't stay up too late playing all of these!!!!

"Small World" Level Competition

Quiet isn't it?
