I think there is nothing crappy about this FM. So, does it lose? I may vote for it anyway. That would make my vote crap. Just deserts, I say.:)

I got through it once fairly easily on Normal with about half the loot. Then I started trying to find all the loot, and that is where the fun began! There are a lot of terrific route finding puzzles here that you can bypass if you are just going down. I managed to find my way back to the starting point. That was much more challenging than going down. If this is ever converted to a "full sized" FM, then it might be interesting to have an objective in Expert skill to go down and then get back up.:) Some loot objectives might also add to the game play.

I am missing 65 loot now. I think I know where some or all of it may be.[SPOILER]There is an open window opposite the starting point. The window is in a gray stone building that overhangs a big drop. I can jump on top of the window, but I see no apparent way to get inside the room below. I see a pair of white dice on the table.[/SPOILER]Has anyone made it inside that room? If so, how?

I tried that already, but that passage does not work for me. First of all, the [SPOILER]metal passage I can find in the area (it has a ramp at the beginning) is southeast from the window, not southwest. Then, the only routes I can successfully take in that metal passage are to go down, which takes me to the brick courtyard with the dead guy.[/SPOILER]I have an alternate route to that passage:[SPOILER]I can jump mantle to the ledge, with no damage, starting from the opposite area with the lamp post and the generator.[/SPOILER]With some effort, using that route, I carried three crates over there[SPOILER]trying to make a route upward at two of the junctions in the metal passage, but I failed at both. Stacking crates in there is awkward and does not get me high enough to enter an upward branch.[/SPOILER]So, how do you go up, or am I missing something?

remember, the FM doesnt have to make sense

but anyways, i agree, this mission has pretty well-designed architecture, nice effort for a short LOTP-style mission, doesnt seem to belong in this contest...
