RULES
1. All levels submitted must be playable and solvable to the majority of the participants.
a. You must play your level at least three (3) times before submitting them to the judge.
2. Any levels submitted that cannot be played and solved by at least 2 volunteers and the judge, will be rejected.
a. The creator will be contacted by Private Messaging and will be given the opportunity to fix the level problem or submit a new level. The deadlines will still be enforced, unless you are not contacted within five (5) days of the deadline.
b. A rejection does not mean you are banned from the contest, only your level.
c. If you do not wish to submit a second level, please notify the judge so your name can be removed from the list.
3. All Wonderlanders are welcome to participate, but only those who have submitted at least 10 levels in Classic and/or Deluxe forums since joining the Wonderland Forum will be allowed to participate. This is out of fairness to those guessing, as your styles/preferences are obvious only after several creations have been played.
4. Everyone is welcome to download the secret levels. HOWEVER, only those who submit a level will be eligible to submit a guess and to win the contest.
a. Non-participants who wish to post their guesses are welcome to do so only after the participants’ lists have been posted.
5. The correct answers will be posted in a new topic 3 days following the posting of the participants’ guess lists.
6. Entries must be submitted by the deadlines below. Those received after that date will not be accepted. I apologize, but the timeframes are established for reasons of convenience to the judge, and in consideration for the international time frames.
7. The limits of the levels are established so that all computers can run them without receiving such messages as “Memory Access Violation”, or other causes of freezing.
a. The maximum size of the board is 30 tiles by 30 tiles.
b. Only the houses in Editor are allowed. No Custom Houses or Models.
c. To limit jerky or slow levels for some computers, only ONE weather feature may be used.
d. There should be no more than 50 “baddies”, electric tiles, spikes and/or fish as this affects some computers and will not operate allow them to properly.
DEADLINES
To join the contest:
Midnight (your local time), Saturday, August 28, 2004
To submit a level:
Midnight (your local time), Saturday, September 18, 2004
To submit your guesses:
Midnight (your local time), Saturday, October 9, 2004
Because of the international time differences, the judge will check for all submissions on Sunday, the day after each of the deadlines.
Any submissions not received before the deadlines will unfortunately not be accepted.
*As the judge will be absent from the forum from Friday, September 17th until Monday, September 20th, levels will be posted by midnight, Monday September 20th. (Sorry folks, but unless I change the submission deadline, which was a concern for several players, I can’t be in 2 places at once)*
You may submit your levels at anytime before the deadline.
The participants’ guess lists will be posted by Monday, October 11, 2004 at the latest.
The correct answers will be posted by Wednesday, October 13, 2004.
Those who have not submitted a level are asked to wait until after the participants’ guess lists have been posted, before posting their own guesses. This is out of fairness to those who worked hard on their anonymous levels and those who are playing them as part of the contest. Please be fair.
The contest winner(s) will be announced Wednesday, October 13, 2004. A “party” for all Wonderlanders will follow, honouring the winners and the hard work by all participants.
Good Luck Everyone!
