Not getting a deduction is -30 points.

making up additional deductions is -10 points

wait--

As I see everyone else has also done, I played my level again for the first time since submission, and I noticed a very glaring shortcut that I did not notice at the time. Never before has the phrase "Hindsight is 20/20" been more true.

No, I was under the mistaken assumption that a cheesecake is unbaked. Stil, I hardly call its base a pastry base.

And a tart is definitely baked.

But, but... not getting a deduction means you get a deduction, but if you get a deduction for not getting a deduction, that means you've just got a deduction, which means you no longer qualify for a deduction... which means the deduction is taken away, but then, that means you don't have a deduction anymore...

Just get a smaller deduction instead

Suggesting getting a smaller deduction is -50 points.

My level is still as good as ever!

Overconfidence is -50 points

Continuing a meme is -9001 points

I think my score is like -271 right now before judging even starts.

technically, overconfidence is more than confidence, so the -50 (up from the -30) seems accurate.

I believe you, Horikawa, just got -50 on your post-game level

Telling Horikawa she got -50 points is -95 points.

No, it's -102.

actually, it's -91,05, but I'll let it slide this time.

... at this point, I'm trying to go so far down into the negatives that I loop back into the positives. cos thats how numbers work, right? is it working?

Not until you get -2147483648 points.

At the rate we're going, first place will have -35000 points.

Having more than seven penalties applied to your level is a 10% point reduction.

The hub will have a giant worst level section followed by the post game and nothing else in between.

This indeed looks fun. Are there still entries available or is it closed now? :)

(It doesn't say MaGL X2 is closed. Weird)

in the BBC celebrity quiz show, QI, negative scores are fairly common and it isn't unheard of for a contestant to win but have a negative score.

So Alan Davies is confirmed to win MaGL X2!

I had to stop watching QI, cos every other episode they'd ask "how many moons does Earth have", twas getting annoying

Not-so-silently hoping that the score works like Who's Line Is It Anyway and your place is determined by rolling a 400-sided die.

...Did Alan Davies make a level?

I think his level is called

"There's a Blue Whale in Jonathan Creek!"

In that case, the points don't matter.
