Well how about this, I'll just appoint you as organizer for the contest/jam to come, Adam! I just think there need to be someone who feels responsible for making decisions.
(Tell me if you don't like this role -- next down my list are Akseli, Clam and Simon; well initially I hadn't considered you on my list of people to sneakily hand over responsibility to, but you basically asked for it.
) On that note, I have to thank Akseli a lot for his engagement in the last contest (some of it behind the scenes), helping recruit people and giving opinions!
So I just renamed all the topics to include #1, in particular the preparation topic for the first contest might be a good read:
http://www.lemmingsforums.com/index.php?topic=722.0A (multi-vote) poll for a theme seems like a good idea, though before that I think it should be decided whether to have a level jam or a full-fledged contest next. I'll leave that up to you how to do that.
Anyway, I just gathered the topics that have been suggested.
- No builders
- Design a level where the save requirement is exactly 1 lemming (out of however many you wish)
- One type of skill
- No terrain removal skills/Only terrain removal skills
- No steel, traps, liquid, oneway-walls...
- One minute time limit
- Single lemming level/Two lemmings/Three...
- Something from the challenge board? Release rate 99, undamaged levels...
- Combinations of some of these
- "Commando" level... either just one lemming, or two lemmings out of separate trapdoors.
Possible condition to tack on:
- use your least favourite style
