This may be a new idea, but since I've been out of the loop for several months, and being too lazy to look, I'm not too sure. I hope this thread can combine a competitive element, player collaboration, and creative level design.
Rules:
* The scoring is Magnum Scoring (Piece count x Tick count)
* Solve the level with a lower score than the previous poster and post your design.
* If 24 hours pass and there has been no improvement in the score, the player with the best score posts a new level.
* When creating a new level, please don't make it too easy where it can be solved with one brown stick but at the same time don't make it impossible.
* In the event that a level is deemed to be impossible (after 3 people saying it is), the original level designer can be asked to resubmit a new level.
* If the original level designer cannot be found or isn't interested in posting a new level, anyone can put forward a new level.
* The poster of the new level does not have to post a design if they don't want to but it does help to get the ball rolling.
