I also would be interested and like to be added to the consideration list for the role.

@Pieuw

Awesome! I look forward to what was made for this when the time comes, which probably won't be for some time. Don't worry, though. I promise to link the LP to you when I do

It is quite unfortunate that you haven't been able to get a hold of Dodochacalo for years now But well, that is the reality of things sometimes. About a month ago, I uploaded my solutions to his FranLems and both his Dodopack and Cachapack of 10 levels each. I even @mention his channel in both the video titles and descriptions, but even I haven't had any luck with hearing from him. At best, I'm thinking he might have seen them because of the video likes I've been getting, but that probably is very unlikely since there are so many Youtube users/channels. Not to mention the likes are anonymous.

According to his channel description, he released an update for his Lemmini packs back in December of last year (about 3 months ago). I took a look, and it seems that he only changed one level of the Plain rank, Plain 17 - The Heat of Action. The change there is it now doesn't have any climbers, meaning the only way to rescue the bottom entrances now is just to straight up build them out, but well, it's fine. It's his level and hence he does what he likes with it. Everything else about DoveLems, as well as his two mini-Lemmini packs of 10 levels each, don't have any changes as far as I can tell despite the date for some levels showing as 2023 rather than matching the year from about a decade ago of all the other files. I did compare the 2023 level files to the Dropbox download I had from a very long time ago and I don't see any visual differences or skillset changes in them, for example.

I'm hoping to get a video series out for DoveLems and also upload my solutions to the Lemmini version of the pack soon, but I'm currently waiting for Icho to go through my replays for the NL conversion of the pack before I do so. Quite honestly, when I went through the NL conversion of DoveLems earlier this year, I didn't remember the difficulty already being a bit much even in various parts of the Plain rank. In particular, I would have to say that Plain 11 - Concentration Camp is a big step up in difficulty for just the first rank. That level honestly had me stumped for a while, though in fairness it's been years since I last played the Lemmini version before I took on the NL conversion and hence I had forgotten plenty of the solutions. All good, though, as I was able to make and puzzle my way through the pack again after so long

Anyway, my congrats on getting this released even if it isn't anywhere near the hyped up and looked forward to collab product that we were hoping for. It's still better than leaving them unreleased and therefore they don't get to see the light of day by the community. We can all just hope that everything is ok with Dodochacalo and that we'll eventually hear something from him, but well, who knows when that'll be, if ever.     

Maybe there’s already a way to do this?

When messaging the same person, particularly if there is a back and forth, all of the messages appear as separate entities and must be viewed by switching from Inbox view to Sent view.

By the time a considerable back and forth has been established, this can amount to many messages and can quickly become confusing, particularly if speaking to multiple people at once.

If all messages to a single person are grouped into a single thread, this would help greatly with following a conversation and also would help keep the message boxes tidy.

Happy to help with this if necessary.

Unless I'm completely misunderstanding your suggestion, doesn't changing the setting for displaying personal messages in your forum profile to "as a conversation" achieve what you want? I think the default is "at once," but when I changed it to "as a conversation" it seems to achieve what you want. For example, I clicked on any PM that starts with a "Re" and there all the PM replies I had with the other person are all displayed together

Aha! New pack from you released on Lemmings' 33rd! Seems it was all planned to release on February 14. Also with the common practice of the author's name followed by "lems" for the pack's name Congrats on the release! As usual, I look forward to LPing the pack in the coming weeks/months! Great stunning visuals as usual. I continue to be blown away at how beautiful they are and the detail and attention you put into them Love how you put another level with a Disney character in it, and as the rank starter again  

@Jeremy

I know it's not the place for it, since it's for SuperLemmini, not NeoLemmix, but let's keep everything about the pack in one place, so might as well be here

So, I finally managed to get Whiteout 13 - The Snow Palace solved last night. Replay attached but if you don't have SuperLemmini set up on your machine, I do have a video solution posted:

https://youtu.be/Sx4kASx7qTE

So, it is possible under the 10-minute time limit after all and hence I have finally proved myself wrong from this post:

https://www.lemmingsforums.net/index.php?topic=1793.msg92128#msg92128

I have checked on NeoLemmix and my SuperLemmini solution will NOT work, as it seems you would need one more digger in order to get through the second-to-last obstacle. It would appear then that this simply due to how Lemmings on SuperLemmini can walk further into walls before turning around than they can on NeoLemmix and would therefore explain the difference in digger mechanics on the engine vs NeoLemmix. I don't think it has anything to do with the digger pits being wider on one than the other.

Even if you did have an additional digger, I think you would unfortunately be a few builders short, especially as what I do at the start needs more than 2 builders. However, since you said you don't remember what you originally intended for the level, let's just keep the current increase to 11 minutes for the time limit as the only change you made for NeoLemmix

The final level of the rank has dramatic music and an odd distribution of skills - but is actually pretty easy.  Nice first rank. I realize a constant increase of difficulty, but no "jumps" - so it's as it should be.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibonacci_sequence Of course, being a math person I noticed it right away

Fun fact: nin10doadict did the same with his first pack Lemmings Squared, where the skills usually had a quantity that was a perfect square, i.e, a number that is the product of a number multiplied by itself. So, for example, 4 (2 x 2), 49 (7 x 7), etc. This includes 0 and 1 too of course, since 0 = 0 x 0 and 1 = 1 x 1. Not only in the skillset, but sometimes also in, say, the number of Lemmings and the save requirement too. Hence the pack name

Anyway, my congrats on beating the Calm rank. One thing I do find strange is the level with the effect of duplicating a skill with a cloner comes right before the level where it's just cloning a walker and for which IMO is a jump up in difficulty, though your solution shows that mine is a little more complicated for the kitty trap level.

-  As Niesch's Who Wants to be a Pioneer is on the list, good to know that I explained properly to Niesch that it's still fine for nomination (see his post and my reply to him below it from his All You Need is Lemmings topic: https://www.lemmingsforums.net/index.php?topic=6519.msg100947#msg100947. To clarify, he released the level back in 2021 in the "random level sharing topic" but it was not nominated for LOTY2022, therefore it's fine for LOTY2023.

Then it was explained wrong and it is not eligible and an oversight by me:

Quote

1. The level must have either been part of a large pack released during the eligible timeframe (1st Jan 2023 to 31th Dec 2023), or in some other way had its first public release during the timeframe.

So it did not have its first public release in 2023.

Well, that's why I asked to be sure, as it totally went opposite to what you said on Discord with Niesch's level

I was focused on the asterisk part:

* To clarify here: If it was released publicly prior to 1st Janurary 2023 as part of a demo or preview, but the full pack was released during the eligible period, the level is fine (as long as it wasn't nominated for LOTY2015/2016/2017/2018/2019/2020/2021/2022).

So, single levels released in the Random Level Sharing topic don't count as either a demo or preview? Makes sense. Similarly for the contest collection packs and therefore contest entries aren't allowed unless they were released in the eligible timeframe, for which LDC 27, 28, and 29 all were. If that's the case, then I believe there's some more from Lemmings Cranium that aren't allowed, so Crane would need to go through his pack again and let you know.

There's more levels from "All You Need Is Lemmings" that are also not eligible:

Giant Leaps for Lemkind
Let's Go for Gold
Please Keep Your Distance
Have a Blast
Aerial Antics

Why are the first and third ones aren't eligible? The first you released last year, which does fit the eligibility timeframe, while the third one I don't see it released anywhere else other than in this level pack of yours I might had missed it somewhere else, of course!
