I kinda deserve a response, y'know. Especially if it's about a report.

But whatever.

Sorry.

I'm very frustrated today and nearly getting killed yesterday didn't make what happened here any better.

Only one transition to go

I think this could be a very narrow duel.

Thank you, FF.

Rating standards: show
1 star: (0 - 5.75 in LDC) These levels need a lot of work. They're totally un-elaborated, and/or inherently flawed due to things like cutoff or enemy spam, or they're untested and there are too many bugs gameplay-wise, in short: Many many things went wrong in such a level.

2 stars: (6 - 9.75) These levels are not terrible, but poor. They're too short, lack scenery or they have errors and/or bugs but it's still barely enjoyable. Again, spend more effort and try to do better. (if it's your first level that I rate two stars, it's not bad. There's a long way you can still go)

3 stars: (10 - 12.75) These levels are about mediocre. They may be still a little bit short, the gameplay is fine but not very original and graphics are also solid, but not breath-taking. Try to keep improving!

4 stars: (13 - 15) These levels are nice, but not the best. Effort has been put into them, there can some professionality be seen in gameplay and graphics, they're a nice experience to play, but there are still things you can do to make it even better. Try to go the extra mile!

5 stars: (15.25 - 20) These are really great levels, those which, as said, I would give more than 15 in an LDC. These suffice many high requirements, and it already goes into subtleties if you want to make them better. These levels are successful all around. Bravo.

These are just general principles I try to follow when rating. Sometimes I don't leave a further comment when rating, most times I do, if you have questions about it, feel free to ask further.

Only one transition for me to finish the level too. actually three, but they are so small that I guess they count as one together

Also, the levels are pretty much the opposite of each other: One is a water based level in a forest, with alternate music from the tutorial level of a Sonic game, and the other is a fire based level in a construction, with alternate music from the last level of a Mario game.

Guess it couldn't get more epic than that

EDIT: Well, ♥♥♥♥. My new computer broke, and this time, it broke in the most horrible way you could imagine. I can still go back to the store I bought it, and they'll try to fix it, or if it fails, they'll give me another one, but this will unfortunately take some time. I hate to ask that, but can you postpone our duel until I'm back with my computer working? I'd really not like to have our duel to simply end like this, we've both done amazing progress, so could you just do that, please?

That's truly some bad news. I'm done with my level and don't plan to edit it anymore, so there's nothing else I could do but waiting. The judges can still start with my level. Harmless vs. MoD goes on over more than half a year so whatevs.

Apropos, I guess 5 judges are enough to test my rule as appointed, as there have already been many duels with only 3 judges. Nonetheless I'd appreciate it if someone else wants to judge.
