Archive: 89 posts
| Level of the year is up on the site... A list of nominees is in place and it is down to you guys to vote!  NOTE: Only vote ONCE. It tracks your IP and eliminates any additional votes. http://www.littlebigplanet.com/en-gb/news/article/the_sackies_-_level_of_the_year | 2009-12-21 17:25:00 Author: jackofcourse  Posts: 1494 |
| Oh god I can't get myself to choose! They are all so good! AHHHH | 2009-12-21 17:28:00 Author: iGotFancyPants  Posts: 1355 |
| LittleDeadSpace was published last year, was it not? Anyway, I voted for Wex...as if his head wasn't big enough  | 2009-12-21 17:28:00 Author: ARD  Posts: 4291 |
| My God are they really making me choose between Zephyr Valley and Ancient Castle... does not compute. ****!!! ...must contribute. I gotta do it, AGH! | 2009-12-21 17:29:00 Author: Unknown User  |
| For me zephyr valley and post-apocalyptic are too hard too choose from. MER | 2009-12-21 17:30:00 Author: iGotFancyPants Posts: 1355 |
| All of those levels deserve to win IMO. They're all amazing in one way or another. | 2009-12-21 17:33:00 Author: Gilgamesh  Posts: 2536 |
| I'm chosing not to participate. | 2009-12-21 17:34:00 Author: bonner123  Posts: 1487 |
| Whoa.... did they listen to us or something? Because the quality of this list trumps all the others. | 2009-12-21 17:43:00 Author: TheJollyRajah  Posts: 466 |
| It was a tough call but I think Flaming Timberland managed to have a near perfect balance of visuals and gameplay, so Jack, you get my vote. | 2009-12-21 17:44:00 Author: mrsupercomputer  Posts: 1335 |
| ^I was going to opt to not participate, but I realized that if I don't vote I can't gripe. As much as I want the beauty, mastery and obscurity (and unjust treatment) of OIL_'s Ancient Castle to be recognized, I had to go with Zephyr Valley because I think the very specific nature of puzzling design in OIL_'s level, a couple minor flaws that cause restarts for the haphazard players, (and the slowdown for the incredible boss) make it something I can recognize as my possible favorite, but not THE best all around. The length, the balance of platforming, aesthetic and otherwordly steampunk imaginings, innovative and fun variety of sequences, nuance in the background and material selections, very detailed and realistically proportioned and designed NPC characters and enemies, up to and including the epic boss who's multi-staged in a way that's neither excessive or underwhelming, and entirely playable and beatable without dying. His small motions, such as kneeling and flipping open his visor, and his emoted outbursts make him a fully realized character and a memorable boss... a quick chase out to bring the adrenaline rush to a close in a high flying, steampunk adventure. Well thought out, and diverse. The perfect level, where a level this good looking, well designed, and long, probably would have no boss at all. I regretfully only know anpostteller and rtm's levels through video, and they look amazing and lovely to me, so my opinion may be lopsided, but I was there long enough to make a qualified decision on what I have played, I think. I also bet jackofcourse would prefer one of his other levels over Flaming Timberland 2, since he's so critical of his own stuff... you can't knock any of these levels though. | 2009-12-21 17:51:00 Author: Unknown User |
| I will not be voting, and I apologize profusely to all of you. I love every one of you and will not vote one of you above the other. I'm sorry, but this is something I am not capable of. I'm so relieved these horrible awards are finally nearing an end. Whoever wins, congratulations to you, but I can't be a part of it, and I'm sorry... i hope this doesn't change your opinion of me too terribly. | 2009-12-21 17:57:00 Author: xkappax  Posts: 2569 |
| I ended up going with The Good, The Bad, and The Sackboy part 3... Very close runner ups were Zephyr Valley and Flaming Timberland 2. I'm glad you three are on the list though... You're all my favorite creators. | 2009-12-21 18:00:00 Author: TheJollyRajah Posts: 466 |
| My opinion is completely changed kappa! I used to think you were a cool lady, but now I think you are a cool lady that sticks to her principles and what she believes is right! And Ninja, thanks for those comments. You are way too kind! I'm also lucky you haven't played Post-Apocoplytic or Subterranean Setbacks yet as they might make you reconsider a vote for me! | 2009-12-21 18:00:00 Author: mrsupercomputer Posts: 1335 |
| Yup, kappa doesn't hide her emotions or feelings... no brownnosing, and no sugarcoating either. I respect that. | 2009-12-21 18:03:00 Author: Unknown User |
making a choice between Zephyr Valley and The good the bad and the sackboy 3 is like the second hardest choice in my life...  (when it comes to games)I went for... (mrsupercomputer or wex, my opinion doesn't matters anyway so look away )zephyr valley, I loved the visuals | 2009-12-21 18:06:00 Author: oldage  Posts: 2824 |
| @ninja and mrsupercomputer: You guys are really nice, and I thank you for what you've said. I'll be honest... I was going to leave lbp... but I don't think I can ever leave this site. You guys are all too great, and so wonderful. Best of luck to all of you. ^_^ | 2009-12-21 18:07:00 Author: xkappax Posts: 2569 |
| xkappax I had to vote anyway..... wouldn't want a bad level to win  like that's possible in this list. Good luck to all you guys! | 2009-12-21 18:10:00 Author: Morgana25  Posts: 5983 |
| Wow.... that's one HECK of a list.... I voted, but I will NEVER tell which level I voted for, since I equally feel all were deserving for different reasons | 2009-12-21 18:32:00 Author: CCubbage  Posts: 4430 |
| I'm not voting either. There's no way I can simply say any of these levels are better than the others, and they're all so different too. In fact I don't have a favourite level at all, I like different levels for different reasons. | 2009-12-21 18:33:00 Author: Nuclearfish  Posts: 927 |

| Rtm223 for me, all the way. It was a hard choice between Zepher Valley and that, but rtm just had the edge for me. The logic in that level perfectly balanced the gameplay. And he's worked hard to make it better and better over the months. I've had the pleasure to work with him on a project and the way he can work the switches and logic out is something else. _OIL had a fantastic level with the ancient castle also. But theres plently missing, ninjamcwiz false idols III, ccubbage vertigo, v0rterx's new level, jaeyden's tie dye, captaincowboyhat's full series, coyote_blue's series, morganas Chromostone, julesy;s starwars saga, xkappax's crystal caves. Theres always plenty more MM has missed. | 2009-12-21 18:45:00 Author: GruntosUK  Posts: 1754 |
| I got this strange feeling Unfair Platform is going to win just because of little kids and them dying and giggling over every little death (Which is why bomb survivals are overly played and made) But for me, I too can't decide. But I do want to record some of those deserving ones that haven't been recorded on youtube yet. | 2009-12-21 18:53:00 Author: JKthree  Posts: 1125 |
| I'm gonna post my thoughts on the levels here...because I really have no idea how to call between these levels. Flaming Timberland 2 This level sums up Jackofcourse. From this it was nearly impossible for Jack to improve. This established his art style, which I think most will agree is superb. The fire combined with different woods just worked amazingly. And then we see the amazing contraptions, epic platforming and generally amazing way it all fits together. Loved it from start to finish. LittleDeadSpace You don't forget the first time you played this. The gameplay was limited, but the atmosphere was unrivalled by any other level I'd played, or played since. This one truely stands the test of time and it just works on every level. Something you'll play more than once, just to remember how great it is. Miracle of Life Well Poms thought he might have been modeated, but if people hadn't seen this they'd have missed out. The gameplay and visuals blend well and you start to feel like you're in the body! A lesson and a level all in one. Platforming Madness How so much platforming was fitted into this level I'll never know. The simple visuals make sure not to detract from the gameplay and you'll love every minute you spend playing it. Uppy parts, downy parts and left and right parts - all of them are awesome. Post-apocolyptic The visuals on this level astound me every time I play it. It's moody, it's sad and it's missing nothing. Everything from real life is stuffed in here, wether it be falling bricks or man hole covers. You can almost feel the wind.... Subterranean Setbacks It's not everyones cup of tea, and requires a ton of time to complete, but the platforming and gameplay is so awesome you wouldn't believe it. It comes from the master of logic and you can tell as you try to sneak past some rats that'll wake if you run. Beautiful and longwinded something you'll praise yourself for finishing. The Good, The Bad, The Sackboy Part 3 Starting off with one of the most epic, rememeberable scenes and ending in the same fashion. It's a sandwich of brilliance to cap off one of the best series you could think of. It's got everything about Wex, humour, platforming and a sprinkle of epicness. Never forget the name... Wex....somethingian? The Unfair Platformer It's pretty much in the name...totally unfair. And yet it's loved for it's humour a plenty style and it's still got great platforming...it's just a little unfair. Zephry Valley A Mrsupercomputer that stands above his others is difficult to come by, but for me this is it. The pinacle of his levels and it's a dream to play. The idea is great, the boss is amazing and even better is the ideas. One of the best levels of all time no doubt. And still I don't know what to choose. Near impossible.... | 2009-12-21 18:53:00 Author: Coxy224  Posts: 2645 |
| Good choice rupert! | 2009-12-21 18:56:00 Author: GruntosUK Posts: 1754 |
| Those aren't exactly the nominees I would have picked and some of those levels are a bit outdated. Also I think some of the levels nominated aren't exactly the authors' best work. For example, Jackofcourse, Industrial Assistance(in my opinion) is a much better level than FT2. They also left out quite a few levels, if I had to choose here are my nominees, Attack of the Flying Donkeys by LordMagicPants The Frog Chorus: A Musical Delight by IceMaiden Hearts for Heroes 2 Swampa by TOBSn08 Fear and the Phantom Town by Teebonesy Post-Apocalyptic by anposteller Basilisk Bog by mrsupercomputer StarCruiser by candyk Industrial Assistance by jackofcourse Tale of the Magnificent Ruby by geosautus As for MM's nominees, I'll have to play 2 of the levels they mentioned as I've never played them before, then I'll make my decision. | 2009-12-21 19:21:00 Author: TheFirstAvenger  Posts: 787 |

I'm so relieved these horrible awards are finally nearing an end. Whoever wins, congratulations to you, but I can't be a part of it, and I'm sorry... i hope this doesn't change your opinion of me too terribly. You can vote as many times as you want, so technically you can vote for everyone. | 2009-12-21 19:48:00 Author: TheFirstAvenger Posts: 787 |
| You can vote as many times as you want, so technically you can vote for everyone. But is this not technically the same as not voting?  | 2009-12-21 19:50:00 Author: Coxy224 Posts: 2645 |
| But is this not technically the same as not voting? No, it just lessens the impact of everyone else's voting... At any rate, I voted twice. Once for Zephyr Valley and again for Subterranean Setbacks. Those are the two levels that I've played and enjoyed the most, so they get my vote. | 2009-12-21 19:51:00 Author: comphermc  Posts: 5338 |
| I voted on my Series Wex69 COMPUTER. Lol | 2009-12-21 19:59:00 Author: Jaeyden  Posts: 564 |
| As for MM's nominees, I'll have to play 2 of the levels they mentioned as I've never played them before, then I'll make my decision. Just to clarify, these aren't MM's nominees, they did sak around the community for this shortlist: https://lbpcentral.lbp-hub.com/index.php?t=t=18643 There was a similar thread over at the workshop too, though I can't find it now. Why else do you think I'm on that list?? Very few people who aren't on this forum care for my work Thank you to everyone who nominated me in that thread and anyone who is voting for me today. Although you might wanna consider voting for someone who is likely to win, instead  I'm not saying who I voted for, but there is a level in there that I believe shines out even in such a worthy set of nominees. Simply as I can pull flaws or weak spots in most of them, but I actually have not a single critisism of the level that I voted for. And no, it's not me BTW | 2009-12-21 20:03:00 Author: rtm223  Posts: 6497 |

| It only counts your first vote. It tracks IP's and eliminates additional votes. | 2009-12-21 20:18:00 Author: jackofcourse Posts: 1494 |
| When is the closing date for voting? I haven't played some of these levels and i still don't have my ps3, can i wait? If it says it somewhere don't bother answering me, sorry, i must have missed it if it does It says they are announcing the winner in january, to give people the chance to play the ones they haven't played yet. Luckily I'm not seeing a mad influx of players to setbacks yet - kinda hoping it stays that way... @ jack, are you sure? I did a brief nose around on google forms and all I could see was people complaining that it doesn't track IPs. I didn't look very hard though. | 2009-12-21 20:18:00 Author: rtm223 Posts: 6497 |
| It only counts your first vote. It tracks IP's and eliminates additional votes. So glad, otherwise there would be lots of people voting many times for one level. | 2009-12-21 20:20:00 Author: TheFirstAvenger Posts: 787 |
| Well, if it does eliminate extra votes, then rtm has my sole vote... | 2009-12-21 20:25:00 Author: comphermc Posts: 5338 |
| @ jack, are you sure? I did a brief nose around on google forms and all I could see was people complaining that it doesn't track IPs. I didn't look very hard though. I spoke to Spaff about it and he said it definitely does track IP's so it should be pretty spam proof. I'd be pretty disappointed if anyone voted more than once for the same level anyway to be honest. | 2009-12-21 20:29:00 Author: jackofcourse Posts: 1494 |
| Ah that's cool then. It would be a real shame if they just opened this up to spam | 2009-12-21 20:31:00 Author: rtm223 Posts: 6497 |
| I think there are some very worthy levels on that list, and I also think that there are additional levels that are equally worthy but are sadly missing. I appreciate that they can't possible include everyone's favourite, but it's a shame nonetheless. I'm not sure it's a good idea for people to announce which level they voted for, though. After the result, sure, no problem, but depending on your standing or reputation, you may influence other peoples' vote, which isn't fair or considerate. | 2009-12-21 21:04:00 Author: LBP--Sentinel Posts: 31 |
| A superb selection of levels, I've played and hearted nearly all of them in the last twelve months. There are a TON of levels that equally deserve to be there, but a big hi-five to all the creators here who got their level through to this, probably the toughest category. I don't mind mentioning who my vote went to, as only one of my three nominees from the nomination thread got through, so 'Miracle of Life' got my vote again. | 2009-12-21 21:29:00 Author: julesyjules  Posts: 1156 |
| I have played Flaming Timberland 2 about 15 times, which is about 10 times more than any other level. It has the perfect balance of incredible visuals, great gameplay, and zero frustrations. So yeah, I voted for Flaming Timberland. | 2009-12-21 23:05:00 Author: thekevinexpress  Posts: 256 |
| After traveling to the top of Mount Peanut and consulting with Jesus himself, I decided to vote for Flaming Timberland 2. Before, I was torn between Post-apocalyptic and Zephyr Valley but playing through I couldn't get myself to vote for anything other than this masterpiece by Jack. Good luck to all. | 2009-12-21 23:16:00 Author: iGotFancyPants Posts: 1355 |
| Argh, I should have finished my level before all this started, but then again, my level might be terrible! They should do some small awards again in the summer, as I don't want to wait another year! | 2009-12-21 23:18:00 Author: warlord_evil  Posts: 4193 |
| I thought I said all I have to say on this subject, guess I'm wrong again... To choose one is ridiculous... the 'title' ridiculous... Were giving crowns to all the nominees in all the catagories yet voting for one level of the year? Why not, "TOP 9 of 2009" ? These sackies haven't exactly been fostering community spirit. What do I mean? Well... this is a very close approximation to how this thread reads... Wex's part three is a shoe-in... except, it was partially so effective because it clearly stood on the pedestal of 1 + 2 and then smashed the pedestal to bits... Zephyr Valley is a cinch! It was a breath of fresh aire... except the boss man was kinda monotonously predictable... not like... RTM burst on the scene like we knew he would... brilliantly... but boy! Was I like caught in what looked like an antfarm forever.... Timberland? I liked his "X" level better... In fact, What about CompherMC? And here are my top 53 contenders... This is the negative or disingenuious discourse these awards are sowing... At any given time ALL of these levels were the best or my favorite... varying from day to day in fact! Why should today be the day my vote carries weight? If your on that shortlist friend... You have my 'the best level' vote. As well as a few others of you out there... Turns out me and kappa have been a team in our mantra... I might have even originally changed her mind (if that is infact the truth... sorry) count me out! I LOVE them all, (and yours too! ) | 2009-12-21 23:44:00 Author: Gravel  Posts: 1308 |
| Sorry but I can't vote on this travesty. There are no levels on the list by BOIA, koknsun, or kurikara at all. All 3 of these creators ( and more that I can't recall offhand so apologies to them ) have levels that knock all the listed ones into a cocked hat. BOIA alone has at least 4 levels that beat these easily. You can't possibly vote properly if you only have a minority of pre-chosen levels to choose from. | 2009-12-21 23:46:00 Author: mistervista  Posts: 2210 |
| I went with The Good, The Bad, and The Sackboy Part 3. It was really difficult. I would've liked to vote for every level... You're all still winners anyway. Tons better than I ever could be. | 2009-12-21 23:48:00 Author: alexbull_uk  Posts: 1287 |
| While it doesn't bother me personally, I think the cynicism and defeatist attitude by a few people may be a little out of place here. Now we all know other levels that deserve to be on this list too, but the fact of the matter is, they're not. I think instead of keep going over this, we should just celebrate what this game is about and let the nominees have their moment. This would probably sound better coming from someone who wasn't nominated, and as I said, personally it's not an issue for me. But I think it puts a bit of a dampener on what should be a great achievement for the nominees. You may not be doing it directly, but you're still implying that the nominees don't deserve their place there. | 2009-12-21 23:57:00 Author: jackofcourse Posts: 1494 |
| I wrote in a vote for Sarah Palin's level. | 2009-12-22 00:46:00 Author: Teebonesy  Posts: 1937 |
| Okay. I love all of these levels, but I think that Subterrainean Setbacks is the best. The others are all just a few points off. | 2009-12-22 03:36:00 Author: Drakora  Posts: 392 |
| There you go RTM! Good luck. | 2009-12-22 03:47:00 Author: RangerZero  Posts: 3901 |
| I had a really tough time choosing between all these awesome levels especially RTM's and Jackofcourse's. I won't say who I voted for, just that it's one of those 2 . Anyone that wins is deserving though. | 2009-12-22 03:57:00 Author: brnxblze Posts: 1318 |

| Meh, I was against picking out a "best" level at the start, simple for the reason that there is no way to determine it. I'm still against it now for the same reasons, but it's not like this is a surprise... All the sackies nominations have been flawwed in one way or another and we knew this is what we were heading for. You could even (near enough) predict who the nominees were from the earlier voting, where we did have free reign to choose anyone. You can't possibly vote properly if you only have a minority of pre-chosen levels to choose from. What difference would it have made if we did have free reign to choose now? People would still choose what they did when they had free reign before and one of these levels would have won, because these are the levels the most people would have voted for! At the end of the day, it was only ever going to be a popularity contest and as obtaining an objective view of a subjective term such as "best" is impossible, this is the best that can be done. Of course you can say that it would be better to not name a best level, and you've probably got a point there. All I can really say is this category is probably the second-least skewed of all of them. Yes as ever there are plenty missing from the nominees, that's a simple matter of practicality. There is no level here that isn't a contender for the title (see gameplay award), it isn't skewwed towards one subgenre (see audio award) and it wasn't chosen by a tiny group of people with a limited view on the community. At the end of the day it's "level of the year, as voted for by the community" and that's all it is. Let me break down what that means. Not the best level, not MM's view of the greatest creation, not any one person's subjective favourite, thrust upon us as gospel truth. It's the most popular level amongst those people who chose to get involved with the two rounds of voting. Simple popularity contest. Nothing more. I still thank everyone who voted for me in this round and the round before. It means a lot to me as does all the feedback and kind words you've given me on this, but the award itself should be viewed as what it is. | 2009-12-22 13:53:00 Author: rtm223 Posts: 6497 |
| Exactly! Im sick of all the people who are "outraged" by this whole thing, im sorry but it's bloody annoying how you have to declare to the world your righteous act, just keep it to yourself Just get over it and move on, and stop commenting on these things  Ouch! Thanks for proving my point about fostering community spirit with these sackies. Additionally, referring to your double-post, No body should be voting if they haven't actually "played" the level... The videos of course are a great addition and helpful but can really only address the look of a level while neglecting of course the whole other-side of the coin: gameplay. You are voting for a game you played or has this even gotten sillier? Additionally, I don't see why you would declare yourself a non-winner or of having nil chance... That's my whole arguement, you are a winner! Your levels are great... and no better than the best of the best. Is there really a problem with be celebrated as the best of the best? EDIT:I Quit! I was wrong! If you want a 'level of the year' so be it. Fine with me the title sews it up for me... I still think it's all rather silly, but, Level of the year? I'm not even sure what that means? And I also don't understand then how RAMP has not been nominated? Dont look down your nose at me... If the community really had its choice... that would be the true winner, enjoy your sackie | 2009-12-22 13:58:00 Author: Gravel Posts: 1308 |
| Im sick of all the people who are "outraged" by this whole thing, im sorry but it's bloody annoying how you have to declare to the world your righteous act of not voting, just keep it to yourself if you feel that way, some of the comments make it look like you just want attention. I'm staying out of this from this point forward. I choose not to vote because, as I said, I love all of you. I am not outraged, nor am I mad at a single one of you. These levels are ALL the best level ever. And marynor's level is, and gruntos's levels are, and morgana's levels are, and ninjamicwz's levels are, and mrsspookybuz, vmethos, cutiekabukichan, etc, etc, etc, I could go on and on and on and on and on. Levels to some are an artform. You can't compare them to one another, because they are as different as night and day. I'd vote for you all if I were able to. May the best person win, if that's what you really want, but you guys are all winners to have made it this far, in my opinion. | 2009-12-22 14:02:00 Author: xkappax Posts: 2569 |
| I'm not going to crucify anyone. ^__^ I don't think I have a mean bone in my body. I know that both you and wex have received a bit of negative rep for this, and that's just completely wrong. I would have LOVED to be considered amongst the ranks of the "best level ever", but I am not so deluded that I ever thought I'd get on that list. Some people think they belong there, get angry and lash out. Other people just do it because they are angry people and don't think of people on the internet as "people" ... they think of 'em as just text that they can say anything they want to. No harm done, though, anpostteller! ^_^ I was actually hoping that YOU weren't mad at ME, because you're nice, and a good creator, and this is a great honour for you and everyone else ARGH! you guys are rubbing off on me! I spelled honour the British way!!!!! EDIT: ARGH! I did it again! | 2009-12-22 15:36:00 Author: xkappax Posts: 2569 |

| "Of all time!!!" What's that say? Off al tim? MAN! Would it have killed you to make it a little bigger, ninja? You could have at least used 96 point type instead of 72. SHEESH!

| Oh, that makes MUCH more sense than Off al Tim. ^_^ | 2009-12-22 16:55:00 Author: xkappax Posts: 2569 |
| Anpostteller: You have all the rights in the world dude... while I did attempt to use your own words against you-- I'm not mad or angry... I just think its a bit silly that's all! Would preferred the top 9 of 2009 or whatever... It's all the same I guess... So are you mad at me? I'm confused. I don't think I've ever posted inappropriate comments? whats that about? Anyway. I have all the respect in the world for these levels and more importantly, the creators... I am sorry if I offended you as that would have been the furthest thing from my mind, (poke a little fun... maybe, but I try not to maliciously post... ever!) | 2009-12-22 20:23:00 Author: Gravel Posts: 1308 |
| Misunderstanding, Gravel. I edited anpostteller's message. | 2009-12-22 20:59:00 Author: comphermc Posts: 5338 |
| Anyway, I voted for Wex...as if his head wasn't big enough He'll need it for his multitude of crowns! Very difficult choice. I'll ponder it for a while... | 2009-12-22 21:05:00 Author: Killian  Posts: 2575 |
| the unfair platformer's a funny fun level, but i dont think it would be level of the year :/ ill check out the ones i havent played. | 2009-12-29 17:52:00 Author: Voodeedoo  Posts: 724 |
| I am dissapointed with the levels to be honest. I think that the levels aren't innovative enough to effect the community. I voted for Unfair plattformer because i enjoyed it alot and it was innovative and influencal. Dead space was influencal to but despite good visuals it doesnt deserve to win. I am tired of the fact that there allmost allways tends to be " adventure " levels. Not any innovative levels. Or survival challenges.I have a few levels on my hearted list that deserves to be nominated but whatever.... Next year i will get atleast one of my lvsl there XDDDD | 2009-12-29 20:07:00 Author: Unknown User |
| After playing all of the levels that were nominated i feel inferior Tell me about it XD All of the nominees (plus several that aren't in that list) blow my mind with everything they do. It's great to meet them and learn from them. Rtm and his blasted logic, indeed x3 He's got a point, it all boils down to popularity. And anpostteller seems to be on a similar wavelength, as well: it's the same as movie awards, where some make it and most don't. I'm not voting, either. Yes, it's because I think picking one over the others doesn't make sense. No, I don't want attention, I want to be in the discussion at hand. I don't vote for another reason, as well: I don't care to do it, anyway. I know I'm not forced to participate, but there's no harm in being in the minority of non-voters, nor is there harm in saying so. "Well, then keep your mouth shut and let everybody else vote..." Just throwing my two cents in, is all .3.; | 2009-12-29 20:09:00 Author: claptonfann  Posts: 228 |

Next year i will get atleast one of my lvsl there XDDDD As far as I know, the picks for Mm were nominated by this site, and well that thread sort of turned into a disaster of people boycotting votes. So, you're expected to chose the level of the year from a small selection of levels that are equaled by several dozen more that aren't on the list. So many people here deserve recognition for their work, but things tend to boil down to popularity contests. I don't mean this in a bad way, but aggressive publishing practices, advertising, titles, date of release, and sheer reputation can do a lot for a level's popularity. Anyways, to those authors that didn't make the cut but deserve to - you know who you are and you will always have the love and adoration of this community, which in my mind, is best recognition or reward you can receive - and worth oodles more than any crown or other award. Out of respect to you, I too withhold my vote. | 2010-01-06 00:08:00 Author: Thegide  Posts: 1465 |
| The voting ran a little more smoothly on the workshop... | 2010-01-06 15:35:00 Author: KQuinn94Z  Posts: 1758 |
| I was just reading what doubletime said, in Thegide's quote... all I can say is, what good is a great idea without being executed and implemented properly and in an amazing way? Fallout bomb levels... a rip from one of the LBPC survival contest entries, an innovative idea, popularized but not brought to full fruition. A nomination in that way, should be something like Desert Survival... but then, he's not an innovator, and when the fun of surviving hits and trying for scores ends, it's tough to come back to something like that after you've mastered it. An adventure level, with a defined beginning middle and end, has this merit to it that creates play and replay value beyond the conquest and the spoils. Take Future Warzone II for example... incredible trend, innovative, with an incredible execution. Not really something I would call a level... now use of that type of cinematography in a more complete level, with all the flair and fun to go along with it? That'd be the theory in practice, and someone like wex is pretty good with that kind of stuff. ...or bakscratch's layers... worthless when not being used in a way that anpostteller has, or the way creators have applied it to their fully realized levels. ...on the other hand, there are times where innovation and production value happen at the same time. The moving checkpoint/suicide/teleport in sackboy's inferno episode two by sighwhatever, for example... much cleaner, more realized, and a much more diverse and satisfactory application of it's own original idea than the much more lauded Save, Die and Reload level IMO. ...a really complete level could easily have a survival game in it, as a sidequest or distraction - ala Thegide's MGS level, or the fun little puzzle and quick BreakOut game in Voltiare's H.A.T.E. | 2010-01-06 16:16:00 Author: Unknown User |

Good times. | 2010-01-06 16:31:00 Author: CCubbage Posts: 4430 |

Ahahah yeah good times for sure. I must have stayed up till 3:00AM on several occasions thereafter still trying to tweak it. I don't know if I ever properly thanked you for helping me test that room... so thanks | 2010-01-06 16:39:00 Author: Thegide Posts: 1465 |
| Subterrean setbacks! Awesome level, great visuals, smart logic, lenght... I personally enjoy long levels! and when you somehow manage to fit awesome visuals and super smart logic, you got a winner! | 2010-01-06 19:52:00 Author: TNSv  Posts: 302 |
| So, will the winner be announced soon? ...we won’t be announcing this winner until the first week in January. | 2010-01-08 01:41:00 Author: warlord_evil Posts: 4193 |

| They won't announce the results until they are at the office, and some of you might have noticed that there has been a lot of snow in the UK recently so they can't get in. I think they would have probably announced the results sometime this week, if they hadn't of been snowed in. | 2010-01-08 16:41:00 Author: olit123  Posts: 1341 |
