You must register or log in to post a message.@lmr you have a point, but sometimes I run into the problem of where my own capabilities for solving blur the lines between how hard I think a level is and how hard it actually is...so sometimes experience can be deceiving. :) Most of them want to be trusted members I think just as a personal achievement, as a way to show that they're "good enough" at Blockoban to be trusted. My point is you should all stop whining and going on about becoming TM's. If you created levels correctly in the first place you wouldn't need to edit them afterwards!!!!!!! By the time one is able to create levels, you should have enough experience to set the difficulty level. Based on similar levels. Think about it!!! By the way I really don't like the recent plethora of copy-cat levels. Look at Pa's level #10668 'Tribute to new award' That is only one I remember the name of the original, as an example of what I am talking about. I think that might not work though, seeing as people often will disagree about categories, etc. But it's a good idea :) @Jyxz maybe call it "Optimization" rather than acknowledged? :P Yes, that might be a good idea, I too prefer the fun and challenge of solving those concise, tricky levels, rather than the challenge of cutting down as much as possible on my move count. Although I disagree with the edit....it shouldn't be ANYONE, even if they were editable, and I think trusted members are a good idea for just making life easier for OMG. :) edit: I think there should be a 250th official level, because it's a more round and less scaring number. Edit: Anyone should be able to edit acknowledged levels until are refined enough to be accepted... then accepted levels I think shouldn't be allowed to be edited at all, trusted or not. So I was trying to make it to <1000 levels unsolved, while oldmtnguy was accepting new levels! I had to work hard to solve faster then he could accept them. =) Basically, trusted members are members that are able to be trusted by the admins of the game, or admin of this site (JP). That's the short version. The position of trusted member was created to allow for small editing changes normally done by an administrator. Such as spelling corrections in the title or changing of difficulty category. The levels could also be modified if there was an error in design. This is where the term trusted comes into play. If a level is changed so as to make the current scores impossible,then an administrator needs to be called to reset the affected scores. If this happens too often it adds too much confusion to the game. That is why a member is trusted not to make unnecessary changes. If every member was allowed to change their own levels whenever they felt like it, the game would be thrown into chaos. That is why most of the changes are left up to an administrator. Qualifications to be a trusted member are being a good proven designer, not submitting unproven or unacceptable levels, not causing unnecessary conflict, an excellent knowledge of the game and how it works, a concern for excellence in the game and a proven mature attitude. I don't qualify by your criteria. 106 levels made, rated 49(in top 50) but slightly below top ten designers. | Games forumPlay Game "BLockoban"First post of the topic16 official levels now. All levels are great. I must say I'm a big fan of Psychotronic's levels (thx Psycho). When a level is "only" accepted, it doesn't mean it will not be official one day, it's just I'm not sure for now. |
