Rating Names, post ideas here!

[GigaLem]

What if you want to make a level pack and you can't come up with with creative rating idea?
maybe we can help come help and post your ideas
As suggested by Akseli here it is
Lix community pack ratings topic

[Crane]

Though still a long way off from completion, my own pack contains rating names that are somewhat associated with foxes (since I'm known as the Curious Kit nowadays), and happen to begin with C - that is:

Cute
Curious
Cunning
Chaos
Challenge

Chaos is a synonym for Mayhem and Havoc that I've wanted to use for ages, while Challenge contains Original and Oh No! levels with more limited toolsets or tighter requirements.

For the Original Lemmings, the rating names, at least the first three, seem to be adjectives based on the general feel of the levels (i.e. "That's Fun"... "Hmm... that's Tricky").  For Oh No! More Lemmings, the ratings are slightly based on the friendliness of animals in the eyes of humans (i.e. "A Tame Animal", "A Crazy Animal", "A Wild Animal") - of course, Wicked is stretching it, and Havoc just seems to be a synonym for Mayhem.

My suggestion would be to find a theme, no matter how random it might be, and come up with a list of adjectives that fit it and build from there.

Yeah, I see what you mean.
Mine were:
Gentle
Rough
Harsh
but I need a third or fourth one, as I kind of want to have four ratings.
Edit: fourth one is going to be severe.

My idea for the hardest rating would be Maddening..

Or a "medical" series :
Benign
Sore
Feverish
Fatal

If someone were to make a zombie-themed pack, I think Bubonic would be a great name for one of the last difficulties. (As in Bubonic Plague)

[Akseli]

I have compiled a list of rating names that are already used in official Lemmings games and user made level packs in the Lix community pack ratings topic. GigaLem if you want, you could give a link there in the starter post of this topic or I could do it, too.

Masquerade celebrations (from joyful to somber):

Carnival
Mardi Gras
Halloween
Xantolo

[grams88]

I think sticking to a theme is a good idea, I see a lot of you guys are doing it anyway.

Earth
Mars
Venus
Mercury

I know it's a very unusual list. Earth is a place you can live on, Mars could be a place we could live on, Venus probably not. Mercury absolutely no no.

Why stop there
Jupiter
Sega Saturn
Neptune
Uranus
Pluto Relinquish

If I end up making a few levels I deem too hard for Casualemmings, I might compile them into an extra rank called 'Hyper'. Haven't seen that name in the suggestions so far.
Might as well take it all the way with a gradient: Calm -> Nervous -> Twitchy -> Hyper

[Strato Incendus]

1. P-C
2. Mainstream
3. Offensive
4. Repulsive
5. Inhumane

If your pack has a lot of gamer-themes, you might wanna try:

1. LOL
2. ROFL
3. WTF
4. OMFG
5. FML
---------
and, optional:
6. TH;DP (too hard; didn't play)



The ratings for my current pack are:

1. Harmless
2. Disturbing
3. Disgusting
4. Abhorrent
5. Demented
