Talk:Official Level Design Contests of 2008

The Illegals

Why did the Illegal levels have their totals posted?--Glaber 13:30, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

They didn't have their totals posted. And I'm wondering if we should remove The Shining River's score from SeptOct05, as I believe it is also illegal. Oh, by the way, Glaber, I highly recommend you use Firefox, as you need a spell checker. X_X It's something I always noticed; didn't feel like saying anything until now. –SonicMaster 13:34, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

I think illegal levels should be added to all of the totals, but have it noted that they were illegal next to them. Whether or not they belonged there they were a part of the contest. Also I think the description of the contest listing the highlights and stuff needs a little bit of work, not necessarily to change the contents but to make it seem a little less repetitive.

No. Their scores were mildly skewed, as some people (including me) would rate them lower simply for being illegal. Let's not include them. And please register/login; unregistered users aren't supposed to be able to edit the Wiki. The two-month loss also came with a two-month loss of setting changes. –SonicMaster 00:28, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Forever Forest's scores were skewed because of the fact that the released version was broken and I'm sure there have been several levels whose scores have been affected by some other issue with its release. I don't think the fact that the scores were skewed is enough of a reason to keep them out of OLDC pages. You don't need to count the scores in all your overall totals or necessarily list them here, but for the sake of completion if they were displayed on the first post of the topic releasing them, then they should be displayed here.

[sic]?

What does this mean, and why do some OLDC levels have it? --Monster Iestyn 20:11, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

They were spelled incorrectly. –SonicMaster 03:50, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

So [sic] means the same thing as (sp), alright.--Glaber 19:23, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

It's what I learned in English class; it's the formal way to do it. –SonicMaster 21:59, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

"Sic" is a Latin word and means "so", like "they said so". (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sic) --Ezer'Arch 04:57, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
