As long as people get good feels or laughs out of playing and/or watching it, I call it a win no matter how I score or place. :)

That said, I think I'll score higher than I did last year as things are more fleshed out...

Oh yeah, there's going to be a ton of ties with all of these entries. It'll be interesting how those will get decided, especially between higher ranked levels.
I just want everyone to have a good time with my level btw, and I'll be happy if it places high somehow.

I don't particularly care past wanting to do better than last year's entry since I actually finished my level this year. I just wanted to make an interesting level which I think I accomplished although the character/gimmick combination will probably be a fair bit unpopular.

I'm more curious about how the judges' scores are relative to each other, honestly.

Like, I have to assume there've been major discrepancies between their scores for the same levels by now, but how often?

I'm not going to pretend that I wouldn't be disappointed if I came in dead last. But since I don't think that's going to happen, yeah, I don't much care how I place. Watching other people react (or not) to my level is going to make me happy regardless.
I can agree to that, I'm just going to be super happy watching raocow play something I made! If I can make him laugh with both my Magglextoo and mafaboss then that'll be a double victory for me!

To be totally honest on the subject, I actually am concerned with how I place :E I'm competitive by nature but I'm also creative by nature, so like contests happen and I go straight to "oh man I wanna win but I want it to be AWESOME" and so generally speaking, I want to be the best `~` More than anything though, I just want to make the judges + raocow laugh and have a good time. I think that's what most people here want too, so I don't feel very strange about it, really. I'm going to hide my face so much during the LP when my level comes up, I think >_>

I actually hope I'm placing low. For... reasons.

I want my level to make people smile. Anything after that is lagniappe, though it'd be nice if I wasn't super garbage tier.
I'm probably driving right now.

haha nope. I'm curious, but there's literally no hoping involved in that, it's really just "I'm interested in seeing where my level ends up".

I'm more concerned that people will think the level I submitted is the best I can do with level design, when I know I can do much better than what I actually submitted.

I know I can do better too. Especially if the engine doesn't glitch out and crash from how poorly it handles being multitasked with other programs and make me lose 50% of a level.

To be totally honest with you, I have often thought about your level "I am pretty sure Hoeloe could do much better than this" but what I've never been certain about is whether or not you actually put your best into it or not in the first place. I'm glad to have that clarification, I guess xD (I never doubted the truth, though! D: I swear.)

Yeah, I kind of made my level with the intention of making something, and I was pretty busy at that time, so I didn't want to take too long over it (lest I abandon it completely). If I'd taken a little more time over it, I would have planned things out properly and made something of substantially higher quality.

To be vague for the sake of thread spoilers, your level basically strikes me as a great framework for a much more fulfilled idea, if that makes sense.

Especially given the fact that you are one of those Lua people and your personal limits are much higher than most of ours, in theory.

It was really enjoyable and fun, it just had rough edges in presentation ;P I expect the fun factor was/will be received well, and that is good.

Would be interesting to see my level in compairasin to Holoe's since I did some pretty crazy stuff too but I only used the vanilla editor for my level.

I wonder how many stages that ignored the gimmick would have been in the top ten if not for that...

At most seven.

Since that's the number of stages that have ignored the gimmick so far. :|
