Quote:Comments like this serve only to devalue the voting system. As a voter, if you feel a level is either wholly or somewhat inappropriate for CCLP1, then it should receive a 1 or a 2 respectively, because that's what those ratings are there for. There isn't (or at least there shouldn't be) a place for up-voting a level out of sympathy, pity, designer bias, etc. Remember the goal is to design the best set possible, which is only possible if everyone votes fairly and according to the same standard of "CCLP1 appropriateness", for want of a better term.
When submissions for CCLP1 (or any official set for that matter) were being considered, every designer consented to placing their level(s) under the spotlight, in a public domain. During the voting process, anyone can (and is actively encouraged) to play and evaluate the level(s) based on their appropriateness for the set. It's only natural to feel pride for our creations, given the effort we put in as designers, but one can't rightly expect to receive solely praise - given the diversity of players, designers and their opinions on what makes a good level, there must be criticism as well.

I was mainly referring to the design being a 3.
And for the record, I only submitted Flareon in the voting because I thought a lot of people would appreciate the design. But if all it's getting is 1 and 2 ratings, then that goes to show there seems to be a lack of design taste in this community. I never said I wanted nothing but praise to this level. If you hate it, then be blunt about it and say it.
Also for another record, remember Marooned in CCLP3? That level hardly has any gameplay either, and it's design is very dull. So why is that on in an official set? For the small puzzle it provides? I'd like to think anyone's argument there is invalid, though I already know someone is just gonna counteract it somehow.
Quote:Josh, I understand your pain. I'm also gutted my favourite level I created in voting is getting loads of low scores right now, but I supported Flareon too. The majority don' t agree, but there's always another chance. CCZLP, perhaps?
I'm glad you supported it Tom and I greatly appreciate it. What does CCZLP stand for anyways?
