It's interesting that we've gone for very similar skillsets -- in particular, everyone so far has taken the jumper, climber, stoner and builder in addition to the required cloner. But someone who hasn't spoken up yet may have had a very different skillset, of course.

My skillset was identical to Pooty's, so it will be especially interesting to compare our results 8-) I've already given away (before I knew I had exactly the same skillset as anyone else) that I used all 200 available skills, so make of that what you like :P

Gronkling

I have received resubmissions from everyone whose earlier entry was invalid, so the 72 hour rule is in effect - entries will close in 72 hours if no resubmissions are made in the meantime. Alternatively, if every contestant agrees to close it prior to that, we can also do so there. (In which case, my "as a contestant" input is sure, let's do that.)

And now that results are up, one other thing I can say I'd change for the next round - the variance in the results, even among those with similar skillsets, suggests to me that there is no need to enforce the presence / absence of the Cloner in future contests, and it too can be optional.

I've corrected the results above after finding an error in how they were calculated. (This relates to the copy of levels being used, NOT the special NeoLemmix version uploaded earlier.)

That aside, I've put up a poll for what pack the next contest should be on.
