Subject: Re: Level Contest

Hi there,

and?  So your level gets put on ftp.cdrom.com and your level then gets
put on compilation CDs for other ppl to make money out of.  With the greatest
of respect this is not a significant prize at all.

I think that the best way to make progess as a level edittor is to get to
know people who run servers, popular web sites etc, and ask them to try
out your level.  If it's a decent level, most ppl will be happy to help
you out by giving it a mention on thier site/putting it on their server.

The prize you offer here is no more than what an industrious person can
get done for themselves by their own means.  Please don't take offense, I
just want to know where is the prize in what you are offering?

regards, 

MoonGlum.
