@Silken: I think you missed my hints so far.

So one last time:

Let it go and let the author choose the tile.

I am also not the only moderator thinking this is enough for now.

Further posts in here derailing the topic will be removed.

It's not comparing apples and oranges, this is the basically same thing. This thread is for lemmkeev20's one-off levels and nominal packs and the title says it's just an In-Development topic for the "X-tralems" pack. Obviously it's not exactly, the point of an analogy is to compare another idea to a different similar idea to better illustrate the point, if it was exactly the same it wouldn't be an analogy, but it is basically the same thing. The only difference is the topic's title is a small subset of what the topic actually is, but I don't think that breaks the over all analogy that the topic title is inaccurate so we can change it without the author necessarily wanting it to be changed.

We have that expression in England too actually but it's called "comparing apples and oranges" in England.

Quote from: Silken Healer on October 24, 2026, 06:56:34 PMHim being the author of the topic gives him some authority, a lot even, but he still can't name it whatever he likes. By that logic, I make 2 bug reports in the Lix topic and swap their two names, so the topic named "Bug 1" describes bug 2 and vice versa, if I request they don't be changed and give no rhyme or reason for it would that be followed?

Not to whatever he likes, yes, but the topic's name is completely in the realm of acceptable!

The rest is up to him.

Your argument with the bug topic is on a completely different level and you are comparing apples with pears as a saying in my region would state.
Of course those names would be changed reagardless to your stated request that they match them correctly, as you are also actively deceiving there.

And now let lemmkeev20 decide about the name and let it rest!

To be honest, you are making the huge discussion here Silken.

I would highly advice to chill down a bit, take a step back and be less invested in another person's topic name.


You are missing the main point anyway:

lemmkeev20 can name this topic as he likes, regardless of the arguments you are making for a certain name or designation.

Yes, Simon may have merged without thinking too much about the name and now it may be less accurate, but now it's in the author's hand as no more rules are being violated.

I'll leave the name up to him. You have made a suggestion and it's on him to accept it or don't.

The main goal was just to avoid having a new topic for every single level released as this directly violates a rule. That has been achieved. Case closed.

Quote from: lemmkeev20 on October 24, 2026, 05:14:35 PMuhh i think i should name the pack to "X-tralems corporation levels and packs" is it any better?

No. "X-tralems" isn't the name of any real corporation. If your using it as a stand for "lemmkeev20's" why not just say that? Also if it is, this includes non-nominal packs, which Namida did say you can make a new thread for. It's more accurate then your previous title I guess, but why can't we just use my name "lemmkeev20's levels/nominal packs"? That name is objectively the best name.

Quote from: IchoTolot on October 24, 2026, 05:16:42 PMI think the level topic is perfectly fine! 

No it is not "perfectly fine." The current thread name is just an artefact of the fact that this thread was seemingly a thread for a pack named "X-tralems," and then Simon designated this to be a lemmkeev20's levels/nominal packs thread, and he just decided to move them all into this thread instead of just creating a new thread. I 100% promise you he would have just called it that if he made a new topic. The current title is not fit for purpose.

Quote from: IchoTolot on October 24, 2026, 05:16:42 PMIt fits for single levels by lemmkeev20 and can also serve as a development topic if this turns into a finalised X-tralems pack.

No it doesn't; it seems a bit odd for single-levels by lemmkeev20 to be posted in a title which would make it seem like it's a development topic for a pack that's in-progress.

Quote from: IchoTolot on October 24, 2026, 05:16:42 PMIf the pack comes out and this topic shall serve for futher single levels it can then still be renamed if necessary,

This currently serves as a topic for single levels, not just "shall serve for [them]" in the future if the pack comes out.

Quote from: IchoTolot on October 24, 2026, 05:16:42 PMWe do not need to micro manage every single topic so the name fits 100% to the exact detail.

This is not micromanging; this is a significant difference, not just "micromanagement." Simon designated this thread to be a lemmkeev20's levels/nominal packs thread, and it still has the old name from when it was just seemingly for a pack named "X-tralems."

Quote from: IchoTolot on October 24, 2026, 05:16:42 PMand the title of this topic also fits the current theme well enough.

No it doesn't "fit the current theme well enough." The title of this topic would suggest that this is a development pack named "X-tralems," not what it actually is, which is a lemmkeev20's levels/nominal packs thread.

Quote from: IchoTolot on October 24, 2026, 05:16:42 PMSo, let's not take this topic off topic

I am not taking this topic off-topic. I think posting meta information about a thread in a thread such as the inaccurate title as an aterfact of the fact Simon designated this to be a lemmkeev20's levels/nominal packs thread, and he just decided to move them all into this thread, instead of just creating a new thread and not going to the Site Discussion board for just a "you forgot to rename the thread when you changed what the thread was" is completely reasonable and on-topic. If you think it's necessary move all of these posts to "Site Discussion" in a new thread, then you are free to do so, but I don't think that's necessary.

Quote from: IchoTolot on October 24, 2026, 05:16:42 PMand leave room for the actual levels from lemmkeev20

As I said previously, I am not "using up any room" for lemmkeev20's levels. Threads don't have a post limit, and when the server's storage runs out Namida will upgrade it, so I'm not "using up any room." We have unlimited room.

Honestly I don't get why such a big discussion has spawned out of this. I thought this was just going to be a menial objectively good one-post house keeping duty, this thread was seemingly a thread for a pack named "X-tralems," and then Simon designated this to be a lemmkeev20's levels/nominal packs thread, and he just decided to move them all into this thread instead of just creating a new thread, and it still kept the old, no-longer accurate name. So now the thread had changed has it still kept the old name of the original thread all the posts were moved too so now just update it to what the thread now actually is. Simple. Done in 5 minutes. I don't get why this has spawned such a big discussion. I thought this would be an obviously objectively correct menial housekeeping change.

Quoteedit: its already done 

plus im really exited to see people publish gameplay of my submittion of the contest      

(like i've already said (note that this level requires a song when its finished which is this candy-cd (AKA one of the candy versions of 3D lemmings) so you can remember)

btw these are the rules i followed

    Quote
    Rule 2 (kaywhyn) - Happy 35th Birthday, Lemmings!:

    * Make a level depicting a birthday cake and 35 Lemmings (as a way to represent the candles, putting in the candles themselves is optional).
    * Pre-placed Lemmings and cloners are allowed and count in the total, as long as the total is 35 exactly.
    * Save requirement is anything goes.
    * The solution needs to involve the cake in some meaningful way.


and it was from this contest

I removed the level and the music file attachement from your post as I think you plan to submit the level and not post it openly.

I say it once again and this is the last time, the next time I will disqualify any openly posted level!

If you want to submit a level:

Send me a personal message with your level/s and if needed tileset/s to participate. It would also be nice to also tell me the rule which each level satisfies.

Please use the following naming format:  User1_Levelname_R3V1.nxlv ---> Level "Levelname" by User1  for Rule 3  Version 1 of the level.

If I am really hard on the rules here your previously attached level would now be not eligible for the contest anymore:

c. A level is not eligible if it has had a prior public release, even if that was on a different engine. Small-scale private releases (such as asking one or two people to test your level) will be tolerated. It is allowed to include the level in a public release after the contest's playing phase has started.

Attaching the level openly inside this topic would be a prior public release in relation to the playing phase!

So, please send the level and its contents diretly via a personal message to me in the stated format!

This time and this time only I will still accept it!

@lemmkeev20

Seems you need another reminder on how submitting levels for contests work, so I've quoted what Icho already showed you last time. Note the stuff that's bolded, send him a PM, and same thing with naming the level file correctly with username_level title_R2V1 (replace "username" with your username, so in this case you would put lemmkeev20, and same thing with "level title" with whatever you called your level).

Quote from: IchoTolot on October 18, 2026, 07:43:03 PMPlease read the first post carefully on how to submit a level!

Send me a personal message with your level/s and if needed tileset/s to participate. It would also be nice to also tell me the rule which each level satisfies.

Please use the following naming format:  User1_Levelname_R3V1.nxlv ---> Level "Levelname" by User1  for Rule 3  Version 1 of the level

I think the level topic is perfectly fine! 

It fits for single levels by lemmkeev20 and can also serve as a development topic if this turns into a finalised X-tralems pack.
If the pack comes out and this topic shall serve for futher single levels it can then still be renamed if necessary, but even that is optional.

We do not need to micro manage every single topic so the name fits 100% to the exact detail.

The most important thing is that not every new single level gets its own topic - that we achieved and the title of this topic also fits the current theme well enough.


So, let's not take this topic off topic and leave room for the actual levels from lemmkeev20! 

uhh i think i should name the pack to "X-tralems corporation levels and packs" is it any better?
