Metroidvania is probably better for LL because vertical transitions and triggers.
I won't nominate anything since I haven't actually been in an LDC other than a mini-LDC. But I think dream is interesting, if it's what I think it is.
Sounds like a good excuse to throw in loads of cut-offs good chance to get creative.

DQ's for not fitting the theme require that you're REALLY not fitting the theme, e.g. you make a volcano level when the theme is Sky. If you only just fit the theme by 50%, a point deduction is more common.

There haven't been any DQ's for rulebreakings like not fitting the theme or editing after the deadline since the 15th LDC (I think?), so that's not something to really worry about

uh, we're gonna need some help

For some odd reason SM63 is not available, I tried accessing both the regular popup and the level designer only link, and both were "temporarily removed due to low bandwidth".

If vertical does become the theme, level transitions should be allowed to avoid lag, but most of the level should be going upwards. Still nominating vertical.

For the duel that I currently am doing I just have to use the download version of the game. However it does take a minute to access. And some people may not have downloaded it yet so... Maybe we should hold off the LDC a bit.

There's absolutely no reason for this. We have a backup set up for the downloadable version, and Newgrounds is still hosting the game.

Yeah, we actually have two advantages since we're forced to use the in-game designers: We can use water bottles, and we also can mute the music before playing so invisibility caps won't ♥♥♥♥ up with music. Also the download version is more stable in terms of AFP crashes. Just overcome your weaker self. If anyone doesn't wanna go to Newgrounds and needs the download.exe, it's here: http://www.lastlegacy.us/forums/viewtopic.php?f=31&p=1913#p1913

i vote not having a a theme at all because it heavily restricts creativity

I actually couldn't find the downloadable version links and newgrounds is very laggy for me. Thanks for the link, shroom.

Well, most of the things I would nominate has already been nominated and I can't think of anything else that's good and open enough. Stuff like "Wild West" or "Oriental" or "Heaven" or "Sewers" are probably too restricted.
But if I have to nominate something, I'm not sure if this was already a past theme, it's rather simple (and rather lame): Red Coins/Silver Stars Hunt. Basically exactly what it says.
