That's like saying that you're afraid to cook because you might burn the food.

It could happen, technically, but if you know what you're doing you should be able to prevent that.

I really like stirring the lovely pot of chaos, so I'll be placing my vote for Ignoratis, but in reality I trust both Ignoratis and Horikawa on this. I believe they'd both be amazing at managing this project. Either way, good luck on whoever manages to win.

I was having a hard time to wether vote for horikawa or for ignoritus, but ignoritus's idea seems more fun, and i don't really like the character gimmick with horikawa's thing, since whoever gets link and anyone else will have a really hard time designing the level because that character needs a different kind of level design.

But isn't that the point of a gimmick? To offer a challenge?

Personally I still feel like Ignoritus' idea has a rather high potential of going really poorly, given that it depends 100% on the participants to provide workable level names. One could almost reasonably argue that it'd be in an entrant's best interest to contribute awful level names, since statistically speaking they're unlikely to get stuck with any of them, but malicious intent aside some people inevitably just won't have any good contributions. I know I for one can't levelname to save my life, much less somebody else's chances in a contest, and I'm certainly not the only one.

I thought about that, but honestly I don't see much you can do to intentionally sabotage a level through its name. What MaglX proved is that when making a level with a predetermined name it all comes down to how you interpret that name. And I can't really think of many names that just straight up can't be interpreted in a good manner. Can you provide examples of what you're worried about?

Admittedly I'm sure just about anything could be a good level name in sufficiently creative hands. Perhaps "awful" wasn't the best word to use in my post. "Harder" would be a better choice. Something like "Mountain," for instance, is infinitely easier to work with than something like "Nice rivers are like justified damnation if you think about it."* MaGL X1 addressed that problem by having multiple difficulty levels, then addressed it within a given difficulty level by giving each entrant 5 names to choose from, whereas your proposal both lacks any way of avoiding harder names like the latter aside from hoping really hard and gives out fewer names to each entrant.
Plus thinking about it it would seem to impose a deadline on entering, since if one were to enter after the pool were filled and names distributed their names wouldn't be going to anybody unless another late entrant happened to get one of their three three out of a pool almost certainly several hundred names in size, but it's entirely possible that you'd just allow it anyway so that's hardly a concern.

*An actual level name somebody got in MaGL X1. Also, still fantastic.

Ditching your original vote to swing the contest in another direction seems... like it isn't in the spirit of the exercise? I dunno, something about that seems wrong to me, and I don't exactly know why.

I think the random name generator would be more creative with the level names.

Provided the initial pool is increased to four/five possible name entrants, I don't see how difficulty can be added by increasing/decreasing the amount of names increased. Besides, I really felt that the difficulty system has no place here as it's about the quality of the level, not the challenge the level was to be made. Likewise, I don't like the idea of expensive mulligans and other point decreasing factors as again, it tarnishes the idea of MAGLX2. If there's a deadline and someone messes up and doesn't submit on time (which I committed), it should be either an instant DQ or possibly a relegation of their level into a DQ zone similar to the trash bin in the first MAGL. Either way, I'm excited to see the results of this poll!

These are basically the main reasons I voted for Horikawa over Ignoritus. If it's managed well, then it will probably produce a fun contest, but there are a lot of ways it could go horribly wrong, particularly since there's currently no suggested way of managing the names people submit. Some might submit extremely easy names, some might not, and there's not allowance for this (this point has already been made), meaning you can't effectively judge the skill of the level design (it takes more skill to make a level based on something abstract than something like "grassy plain", and there's no incentive for people to take the harder option unless they have a really great idea right off the bat, which is rare). I went with Horikawa because there's a better a chance of a good contest coming as a result. Ignoritus' idea could still produce a good contest, but has a high chance of failing spectacularly.
