Woot woot, you the man, Shmolem!

Keep it up! Gotta love it when you're on a solving frenzy and are able to successfully solve several levels in huge bursts. Definitely provides more encouragement to keep going, especially when you're close to the end of the pack.

What's this? Two more levels have been completed! At this point it's either that low key the levels are getting easier or I'm just getting smarter. Edit: So I've beaten 13 and 14 now. But Insane 15 has completely stopped me in my tracks. Edit 2: Yeah it really has stopped me.. but I think I'll get it with some time. Honestly I'm surprised that I managed to steamroll through 14 levels like that

Nice job Shmolem! I'll take a look at these later. Swerdis found a plethora of backroutes I need to seal, so I'll see if you found any others.

Insane 15 is where the pack starts getting really tough, so don't feel bad about getting stumped.

Shmoley · August 21, 2020, 12:57:40 AM

I JUST BEAT INSANE TODAY LET'S GO! Insane 15 was hard and I even got the talisman! Believe it or not I beat it without using a single climber! I've seen Hellish 1 and all I can say is... Oh god..

You still the man Shmolem! Congrats on getting through the penultimate rank. It has only taken you 2 days compared to the previous ones. Did you play other packs in the meantime or something? Definitely seems to have helped tremendously if you have been or all that time away has really helped. Regarding Insane 15, I remember that level from Superlemmini, but honestly I don't remember how I solved it. It was a really long time ago, like 3 years ago. I didn't bother saving any replays when I played through the pack in Superlemmini. It wasn't a stumping point at all (that belongs to A Tricky Quicky in the Hellish rank, which stumped me the longest out of all the other levels in the pack), although I just checked the Superlemmini version, and it is the same as the NL version except it is missing a miner. Not sure if that makes any huge difference, but I doubt it.

Good luck in the Hellish rank! 20 levels to go!

Oh, did you mean to send Colorful Arty your replays for Insane 15 through 20?

Shmoley · August 21, 2020, 07:10:15 PM

Da replays for Insane 15-20. I've played other packs before. But mainly Lemmings Plus 1 by Namida. Actually, in that pack I've made it decently far into the Danger rating. So I have experience with custom lemmings, it's just that I've never actually BEATEN a level pack before. But I think there's a good chance Sublems could be my first one!

I'm excited to see how many and which backroutes will remain in the pack and make it into talismans :-) I'm still stuck at Hellish 18 at the moment and I want you to know that I didn't capitulate just because I don't make progress on my youtube-channel at the moment :-) I comfort myself by slowly advancing in SEB Lems.

Shmoley · August 23, 2020, 03:10:08 AM

It tis the time for replays! I've made a small dent into Hellish!

kaywhyn · August 23, 2020, 06:22:24 PM

Just a tip Shmolem: Since the maximum number of attachments is currently 6, you can put your replays in one zip file so that you can send as little or as many replays as you like. There's no limit to how many replays you can put in the same zip file. In this way, if you manage to complete more than 6 levels, you can certainly attach more than 6 replays if you like just by attaching a single zip file. Much more organized and less chaotic this way. Whereas if you attach individual replay files, you see that you quickly hit the max 6 limit, which admittedly gets really annoying in the sense that you can't attach more files in the same post this way. You're still subjected to the max 6 attachments with zip files, but at least you can put as little or as many replays as you like in each zip file. I use winrar.

Shmoley · August 23, 2020, 10:41:29 PM

Okay I'll try to do that. I'll have the replays ready soon but just here to say that I've made it to Hellish 8 and I'm still going strong. I'm really not sure what happened to me between the time I left Sandopolis Act 2 and when I came back to it. But something really did happen to me and I'm suddenly so much better than I was.

kaywhyn · August 23, 2020, 10:49:12 PM

That's amazing! I think you're right about Sublems being likely your very first pack you will finish. Only 13 levels left. No worries, take your time. Yea, that's why I asked if you played other level packs in the meantime, because you're all of a sudden having these huge solving bursts is probably due to seeing other levels and gaining more experience with maybe easier stuff. At the same time, time away from the pack helps a lot too. It helps to clear one's mind so that the next time you come back to the pack you're starting with an uncluttered mind.

Shmoley · August 24, 2020, 01:22:59 AM

More replays. But this time, in a folder. I totally backrouted Hellish 10

kaywhyn · August 24, 2020, 01:50:57 AM

Look at you go. Halfway through the final rank already. And yea, 8 replays would mean you would have to do 2 separate posts to post them all. See how much more convenient it is attaching as a zip/rar file so that only one post is needed?

Shmoley · August 24, 2020, 01:57:04 AM

Yes it's definitely more convenient not only for me but probably Arty as well considering that he'll probably look at my replays sooner or later. I'm so close to beating this pack I can feel it!

Shmoley · August 24, 2020, 08:45:28 PM

I come to share some bad news. Alas my absolutely insane solving streak has come to an end on Hellish 11. I think I have the solution it's just that I don't have enough time on the clock to do it. So I'm sad to say that the solving streak has ended...
