Hmm, I'm not sure if requiring every level to be nominated by 2 others is the best idea, just because of the sheer number of nominations it would require--to get a 149-level set would take 298 nominations! Also, some sets are almost certainly played more than others, and I haven't had time to play most of the recent sets out there. What if the level designers were able to choose a modest number (maybe 50 or even just 25--or lower if you think even that's too much) of their own levels to submit for voting, and more could be nominated by the community using the 2-other-nominations rule? (Perhaps the designers could make recommendations for what the other players should look at, but it'll be the other players' decisions ultimately.) This would seem to cut down the burden of having to play a ton of other people's levels in a short time to give them a fair chance, when they'll have to be played anyway to vote.on them. Also, it would be the "best of both worlds" between promoting designers' levels that they'd like to see in the CCLP, and levels that are loved by the community despite the designers not expecting them to be so well-received.
Note: I meant "designers" as "level designers", not the CCLP staff.
