Alright. Here we are. Seven levels, from four different authors, remain. Which one will be crowned the best level of 2015?

The voting has been changed back to the normal system - so vote for the levels you want to keep.

The first two sets will eliminate two levels each, which will bring it down to three remaining levels. After this, the remaining levels will be eliminated one at a time until we have our winner! In each set, the number of votes will be such that you can vote for one level less than the number intended to survive (for example, if there are 5 levels, and 2 are being eliminated, you will be allowed 2 votes). <--- I will probably change this in the last few rounds, actually.

In the case of ties, the following rules will apply (and the structure of subsequent rounds may be adjusted as appropriate):
1. If exactly one more level than the target will be knocked out, then all tied levels get knocked out (unless this would knock out every remaining level, of course).
2. Otherwise, if it's a round where two would get knocked out, and only knocking out one is possible without any ties having to be accounted for, then only the one will get knocked out.
3. If all else fails, some kind of tiebreaker set will occur.

Level List

GigaLems, Scorching 13 "It's Not Time For Flying Toast"
Lemmings Reunion (IchoTolot), Ultra-Violence 16 "The Three Seals Of Memphis"
Lemmings Reunion (IchoTolot), Ultra-Violence 22 "The Face Of Evil"
Lemmings Reunion (IchoTolot), Ultra-Violence 24 "Heroes of Lemkind"
Lemmings Reunion (IchoTolot), Nightmare! 16 "Another Brick In The Wall"
"Parking Garage" by Geoffster
"Tough Call" by Crane

Since there are very few levels remaining, and all of them are NeoLemmix levels, I put together an NXP containing all of these levels. You can get it here:
(Download NXP) | (Download Music Pack)

Three of the levels use high-quality OGG musics, hence the music pack. If you don't have the music pack, you'll get regular Lemmings musics on these levels if you're using NeoLemmix V1.41n, or silence if using an older version. But if possible, get the music pack - play them the way the author intended!

Note: I've reuploaded the NXP with the fixed version of the level that was previously impossible in NeoLemmix V1.40n-C / V1.41n, so it's all good now. :)

Please change the voting system to the equivalent "You have 4 positive votes" that everyone is used to. I had already selected my three favorite levels and my mouse was hovering over the Submit-button when I realized the difference in voting system.
Moreover I feel bad to vote against levels when they are all excellent ones!

namida

Eh, okay. Changed it.

Anyone who already voted will need to vote again.

For those who are interested but don't know / can't be bothered hunting down all the levels - I put up an NXP containing all 7 remaining levels; check the 2nd post. They're in there in the same order they're listed in that post, and all levels are unlocked by default so you can press Left / Right at the preview screens to select levels.

The NXP has been updated with a fixed version (supplied by the author, of course) of a level that was impossible in V1.40n-C / V1.41n due to the climber bugfix. The music pack has not been changed, so no need to redownload that.

Alright... say goodbye to the two levels with the least votes (although it's still very impressive that they even got this far!):

Lemmings Reunion (IchoTolot), Ultra-Violence 16 "The Three Seals Of Memphis"
"Tough Call" by Crane

The survivors have begun their next battle... good luck!

We had a tie between two levels for 2nd-lowest place, so only the lowest will get knocked out this time:

Lemmings Reunion (IchoTolot), Nightmare! 16 "Another Brick In The Wall"

Four levels remain. Two votes per user will be allowed again this time; once again two levels will be eliminated (unless there's another tie for second-lowest place).

Another tie for second-lowest place. So once again, only one level gets knocked out:
Lemmings Reunion (IchoTolot), Ultra-Violence 22 "The Face Of Evil"

We now have our top three levels of 2015! A huge congratulations to GigaLem, IchoTolot and Geoffster for these levels! However, we still need to find out which one is number 1!

This round will also allow two votes per user, and only one level will get knocked out.

Well, this was the closest yet! The top two levels tied, the bottom one only one vote behind... but that one vote is enough. So we're now saying goodbye to:

"Parking Garage" by Geoffster

Nonetheless, that still marks Parking Garage as the 3rd best level of 2015, so congratulations to Geoffster on this!

Now, who made the best level of 2015... was it GigaLem with "It's Not Time For Flying Toast!", or IchoTolot with "Heroes of Lemkind"? Let's find out!

One vote per user, obviously. :)

About 24 hours left until the voting closes. Seems we haven't had as many votes as the previous set yet, so those who haven't voted - your votes might make a difference!

Sorry that it took a while to do the finishing announcement; had a few busier-than-normal days and somewhat forgot.

Anyway - by 6 votes to 3, our best level of 2015 is...

IchoTolot's "Heroes of Lemkind", Ultra-Violence 24 from Lemmings Reunion!

Congratulations! And make no mistake - having the second best level of 2015 is still a huge achievement, so congratulations to GigaLem too!

I will PM both of you in regards to prizes.

Now that the voting is over, feel free to discuss your thoughts on the levels, which ones you voted for and why, etc! :)

As I already said in IRC:
I never thought that this level would be the one of my bunch that gets through :o
Always believed that other levels were a lot more popular than this, but hey! ---> Lesson learned and I am trying to make a few more of ~ this kind ;)
