Hey FireSworD, I've got another question.

How much is that expansion limited to? I'm using a rather small SP boss arena, but I copied it three times, flipped it and put that flipped version on the right, and made it symmetrical and put that version in the middle, then copied the entire finished thing and pasted it five times around the level, so now if we do the math, we have 18x more arena space than the original thing. In addition to that space, I've put all these six different copies hundreds of tiles away from each other and put lots of Suck events, making the total space used: 'A LOT'. Would that be considered overkill?

That's definitely allowed. As for how good the level is, I'm not so sure yet.

That's fine, I'm ruling out actual collaborations like more than one person working on the same level. In other words, only one person gets credit.

Done. Forced Decay!

Please do read the readme though, if you just jump in to the level you will find it VERY confusing indeed. And also I will most definitely be editing it over again to fix small snags here and there, so check back again once the deadline really finishes!

I assume that Jake downloaded the level, but did not read the readme. He most definitely should have. And the level I remade is EvilMike's "The Schwarzenguard's Lair".

It's allowed only if you get permission, and Fourteen Carrot doesn't have a 'boss arena'. Hmm.

Also, I got Mike's PM, and Sean's level is allowed.

Ok, in that case, I can take it off my level. But what do you mean that Fourteen Carrot wouldn't have a boss arena?

Interesting. I thought it was :P, removing arenas now.
Btw, why do we have to either ask the levelmaker or use official levels?

I don't want people whining about their levels being edited. Also, editing the default levels comes with no consequence.

Well, I'm cutting it a bit close to the deadline. I was working pretty hard on one concept where I had the bonus rabbit as the boss, but when I finally finished it I just felt it wasn't quite right. Then, I somehow got new inspiration on an old concept I had for this contest and cranked this out in the past few days:

http://www.jazz2online.com/downloads/6603/bollyworld/

Hope you guys enjoy BollyWorld! I think it turned out well. Let me know what you like and what you think I could do different.

Could you please set an exact deadline (hour, timezone) so I know how much time do I have left? Everything's rather finished but I'd like to work on eyecandy and details until the very end.

I don't have any results yet. By the way, I got to play both the assassination levels with some other people.

I said I'd type a detailed post explaining the judging stages, but j2o went down and I wasn't able to access the site (hmm, I should have typed it somewhere else). Anyway, I'll get around to it in a week's time, I'm busy.
