    I don't know why it's such a big issue. Personally, I don't really care one way or another; it's just that the rules need to be changed if they are allowed. (They were off-limits in the previous contests as well)
    It's kinda why I have Lv. 9 blue: He's got maze stuff and messages relaying it, it is integral to his story. That's why he's objecting to it so much.

    I imagine many, like I did, interpret that as meaning almost identical "physically" and visually. For instance how much different is a maze path than a stair warp, fairy pond, etc. It's just a screen setting. It's not really a big issue either way.

    The CJC rule: "You can add maze paths only if you were confused by the wording of what was allowed in the rules and never bothered to ask. Since everyone else either asked, or opted to not add any extra maze paths, then this rule would not apply to those cases." :tongue2:

    Gleeok, just allow it. I think most people will mark him off for it who are strongly into NES style quests anyway.

    I'd allow it myself. Despite everything, I don't know how many people would/could stay within the confines.

    5th Quest superlatives?

    There's such a massive amount of 5th quests why not have some of these after the first round of voting later on. What do guys think?

    Possible categories:

    * Viagra (aka Hardest Quest) Award.
    * Quicky (aka "Are you done already? That's what she said. [Easiest Quest]) Award.
    * Picasso (Most use of custom artwork or tiles) Award.
    * Town Whore (Played by the most people) Award.
    * Whitney Houston (aka Most cracked out) Award.
    * The Riddler (Hardest puzzles) Award.
    * NES (Most NES Authentic) Award.
    * Oblivious (Least NES Authentic) Award.
    * Purple Ganon (Hardest Bosses) Award.
    * Cooler (Best quest that didn't place) Award.

    Maybe some dungeon specific ones as well.

    * Most creative
    * Hardest
    * Longest
    * Shortest
    etc.

    First the humor, then the serious:

    With so many 5th quest entries, I imagine that few, if any, will play each quest to completion. I am wondering how -est-ness can be determined in that case. But, even so, I've played a little of each quest already myself, and I can certainly tell from an early point which have high or low NES authenticity, so maybe the other categories will fall into place similarly.

    Hey, how about this one:

    Pun-y Human (Funniest text strings) Award.

    No complaints against the possible awards. It's nice to know that we will be making the quest entries feel more special. I personally suggest these categories:

    Metamorphosis (Most changed quest during contest) Award
    Forest Maze (Most maze-like/complex dungeon design) Award
    Current quests in progress:
    • Race For Power

    So how many rounds of voting will there be?
    Or rather, what format of voting/judging shall there be? I've never been a contest participant before, but I've been a spectator, and I don't remember such a turnout.
    Just curious about how it would proceed.
