Which Level is Mine - Winner

Jersey · Post by **Jersey** » Tue Oct 12, 2004 10:39 pm

Well, it doesn't look as though I'm going to get anymore guesses, so I'll post the correct answers now.

HotStuff - lgrapes

Unknown Planet - Majic1

BreakingOut- Davimad

MysticalTown - Kaboom!

Nothing - Danell1975

Nursery Rhymes - Jersey

Guess Who - janetgalle

Quick Change - Little jg

Comp2WHORU - Robbie

scrycnns - Destiny5250

Strangeworld- LinkyNStoof

From the guesses that I received, the winner of the coveted "Know-It-All Coronet" goes to......(drum roll please)

It's a tie!

Davimad had a grand total of 7/11, and shares the spotlight with LinkynStoof!

Congratulations you two!

Since the coronet is a little difficult to share, they are to be formally known as Mr. and Ms. Know-It-All

Cool! I'll gladly let Davimad wear the coronet. I personally rarely wear even hats to begin with.

Good on you Maureen & LnS!

And if I had one Lns, I'd take it off to you

Thanks Jersey for the comp.

Good job you two! Of course you guys are the makers of the 2 levels I couldn't complete!

Jersey, if you're up for a little more work.....how about posting the rest of our scores......

I know you sent us our own scores, but I'm curious as to how the others did. Or how many times was our level guessed correctly? C'mon now, you started this......

a womans work is never done you know! (Thanks for all your work, it was fun!)

Any way, back to the winners:

Going waaaay back to the "Picture Me" contest......this is how I picture you two.

Thanks all!

I'm afraid the title must solely belong to LNS, I don't have 7 points Jersey.

I am a Ms. Know-it-All anyway, or so I'm told!

Congrats LNS, well done to you!

Thanks for the contest Jersey.

You know, it seems that because of the way this contests goes, level that were submitted were kinda quietly forgotten by others. I mean, there are some excellent levels in there, if they were posted not as part of the competition people would've probably talked about them. But because they went into a competition where you have to wait to know who created the level, people can't talk much about it, and the levels kinda just fade away into the background as people make new levels outside the contest.

So c'mon, was the contest fun for everyone? Were you surprised at the results? I know I was surprised who the actual authors were for a few levels out there, good ones I'd add.

Thanks again to Jersey for running this contest, and thanks everyone for their levels!

Davimad · Post by **Davimad** » Mon Oct 18, 2004 4:43 pm

Well said LNS. I see that majic1 has posted all the levels in the Deluxe forum, thanks Julie.

I was surprised by some of the levels also, haven't finished them all yet.

Jersey, it would be interesting to see the guesses. Would that be possible?

Thanks again.

Maureen.

Jersey · Post by **Jersey** » Tue Oct 19, 2004 1:32 am

Sorry folks! I goofed and deleted the emails and pm's with the contest guesses

As I just told Maureen, I also accidentally tossed out the hand-written notes I'd made too, along with a phone bill, Christmas wish list, two important phone numbers and driving directions

Gotta love it when company calls ten minutes before they arrive, and we gotta power clean

Doesn't matter Jersey, we understand.

I still have my guesses, does anyone else?

We could still do this if you are all interested.

Let me know soon.

I'll go first for the red face then?

Here's my correct guesses first:-

Breaking Out..... Davimad (That was the easiest to guess!)

Quick Change....... Little jg

Comp2WHORU.. Robbie

Strange World..... LinkyNStoof

And the wrong un's......

Sorry folks.

Guess Who........ Kaboom

We were all given a point for Loof101's level.

Enjoyed every one of them, even though there's a couple not completed yet. Thanks all.

M.A.D.

Actually, one of my guesses is the most embarassing of all--I guessed "Carolyn" for NURSERYRHYMNS, and she isn't even in the contest!

When I sent my guesses to Jersey, I even listed that guess as one of the 6 (not counting my own level) that are "no brainers". Well, I guess "no brainer" was more literal than I intended!

STRANGEWORLD - LnS
(...)

UNKNOWNPLANET - majic1
(the overall style and the sign post messages are just so obviously majic1

)

scrycnns - destiny5250
(the spelling of the messages on the sign posts gives this away)

quickchange - littlejg
(simple but fun and effective, similar to his other levels)

NOTHING - danell1975
(all your levels so far don't have an actual level title besides the file name [that is, they have the default "Untitled Level"])

HOTSTUFF - lgrape
(you use the lava-background/cave-style look in your levels more than others)

COMP2WHORU - Robbie
(the Austrailian references and the apologies for not doing more are hardly subtle.

Actually, more on this later...)

[And now, the wrong guesses...]

NURSERYRHYMNS - Carolyn
(Well, it does feel like a Carolyn level won't you say?)

BREAKINGOUT - kaboom
(This was one of the harder levels, so I thought, it has to be Kaboom!)

guesswho - jersey
(I first thought "sfseaman", but then saw that he's not in the contest. I got really lost wondering who made this puzzle-only level. I would say Kaboom but I was so dead sure he made BREAKINGOUT. Well, imagine my surprise when I learned that janetgalle made this! She who claims to be not good at making puzzle levels...I think she just disproved herself here.

So I just randomly guessed "jersey")

mysticaltown - davimad
(You are the other random guess......

)

--------------

Had I corrected my "Carolyn" mistake, I would've probably guessed "janetgalle" instead for NURSRYRHYMNS, so my score would probably end up the same anyway.

-------------

Looking at my guesses now, it reminds me that my Robbie guess should be disqualified, and so me and Davimad do end up with a tie again. The reason is basically because I know some information beforehand which essentially gives away the fact that Robbie will be using a model in his level. Although I still would've guessed Robbie even if I didn't know beforehand, I think to be fair, that guess should not count.

janetgalle · Post by **janetgalle** » Thu Oct 21, 2004 3:31 pm

Here are my guesses:

Wrong ones first.

Davimad= Nursery Rhyme....there were a coulple that I was just not sure of...this was one of them. (I would have guessed Carolyn also, if she had entered)

Jersey= Mystical Town....You have used that chomper on the button trick before.Pretty thin guessing criteria, but this was a "not sure who" level also.

Kaboom!= Breaking Out.....I was positive this was one of his. Positive I tell you!

Right ones. But no credit.....

jg= Guess Who.....I tend to make any kind of "puzzle" level rather symetrical so that I don't lose track of what I am doing...thought this would be the give away.

littlejg= Quick Change.....He actually made this level before sfseaman pointed out the "incredible shrinking Stinky" effect. He laughed and laughed...did you play with the timer on?

Right ones.

Majic1= Unknown Planet.....little green men, funny signs and did you know you use the word YIKES alot?

loof101= Telemaniawonder.....had his name all over it. In more ways than one!

lgrapes= Hot Stuff.........does tend to use that background and likes to hide things in the outer walls and corners.

Destiny5250= scrycnns.....spelling and signs and general feel gave this one away.

Danell1975= Nothing.........the no level title was a big clue

Robbie=Comp2WhoRU......literally signed his name.

LinkynStoof=Strangeworld.....can't beat it, must be LnS or Malc....and Malc didn't play. Still haven't gotten this one, any spoilers (FULL SOLUTION) forthcoming?

I had alot of fun with these. Thanks.

LinkyNStoof · Post by **LinkyNStoof** » Thu Oct 21, 2004 8:36 pm

Ok, I'll get a full solution out end of this week. btw it might be helpful to look in the level editor if you haven't already. (The way I made the level, you don't have to use the level editor because either you can tell where the "invisible nasties" are by places where you can't push boxes into, or I gave a clue in the level itself. But the level editor's probably easier.

Oh sure, you give them the full solution

Made me work like a dog figuring that one out!

How many times did I bug you for help 50...100?!?!?!?!?

It was a tough one all right! But it was definitely worth the concussion in the end. (Ted needs to replace the monitor after that level...too many forehead imprints

)

Jersey · Post by **Jersey** » Fri Oct 22, 2004 12:13 am

Folks! I have to make a very humble apology to one of our dear, dear friends...

Davimad pointed out to me (actually, she had to knock me over the head a couple of time...

) that Janetgalle, not herself that takes the prize. I think LNS hinted something about the points too.

I will be the first person to admit that I should NOT be allowed around numbers (yes, I can see all the heads out there nodding in agreement

) So I shall remove myself as a judge from future competitions, and if I should forget myself and try my hand at running another contest...somebody slap me! The rest of you run far, far away, as fast as your Wonderland feet can go!

Seriously though. I did miscount the scores. After deducting two points for her and littlejg's levels, Janetgalle has a score of 9/12.

Please forgive me Janet

Actually 9/12 would be including janetgalle's own level and littlejg's, if I counted correctly. But don't worry, janetgalle's still the winner.

Let's sort this out right now plain and clear. For my count, we will discount our own levels and any levels for which we have an unfair advantage.

janetgalle: unknownplanet, telemaniawonder, hot stuff, scrycnns, nothing, comp2whoru, strangeworld (7/10 = 70%, 2 not counted)

linkynstoof: unknownplanet, telemaniawonder, quickchange, hot stuff, scrycnns, nothing (6/10 = 60%, 2 not counted)

davimad: scrycnns, quickchange, comp2whoru, unknownplanet, strangeworld, telemaniawonder (6/11 = 54.5%, 1 not counted)

Obviously, counting your own level towards the score will not change the outcome, we now get:

janetgalle (8/11 = 72.7%, 1 not counted)
linkynstoof (7/11 = 63.6%, 1 not counted)
davimad (7/12 = 58.3%, all counted)

Finally, if we count the "unfair" ones as well, we get:

janetgalle (9/12 = 75%)
linkynstoof (8/12 = 66.7%)
davimad (7/12 = 58.3%)

So there, no matter how we're counting, janetgalle's the winner.

* crowns janetgalle with coronet *

----------------

What matters most of course is having fun creating, playing and guessing the levels.

Sorry for not noticing this mistake when I read janetgalle's guesses.

I think jersey's blondness is contagious!

My broom is out getting a tune-up in preparation for Halloween. And it's been my experience that toads make better prince's than frogs. So set your frogs free and go find some toads.

Here are my guesses; with the exception of 2 or 3, most of my guesses were based on the eeney-meeney-miney-moe theory.

Davimad - Breaking Out (I knew this wasn't hers, but I had nothing left to choose - couldn't believe I got this right.)
Me - Unknown Planet
Jersey - Mystical Town (eeney-meeney-miney-moe)
Janetgalle - Nursery Rhymes (I was SURE I had this one right - NOT!)
littlejg - Quick Change (I thought this was either his or JG's)
loof101 - Telemaniawonder (obvious!)
lgrapes - Hotstuff (eeney-meeney-miney-moe)
destiny5250 - Scrycnns (this looked lots like her other levels)
danell1975 - Nothing (eeney-meeney-miney-moe)
Robbie - Strangeworld (This was big - so I figured it was his!)
LNS - Comp2whoru (Although there was a reference to Australia & I should've guessed Robbie, it was so small w/models, and LNS said he had no time to make a level - so I was sure this was his - AGAIN WRONG!)
Kaboom - Guesswho (just looked like one of his)

So now you see why I didn't even come close; several that I did get right, I thought would be wrong! Guess I have some weird logic!
