Didn't there used to be a limit of like 8 smilies per post?

It was a limit of 8 pictures per post, including smilies. I don't know if it's still in effect.

It still says 8 in the rules. I've repeatedly complained to Al_B that it actually allows more than that and therefore it should either only allow 8 as per the rules, or amend the number in the rules. But he just ignores me. :grr:

It's clearly not in effect, based on Purg's original post (before editing).

Probably should have left them, to be fair. Context, and all that.
Twelve was the limit, or so I was instructed by TTLG. Originally I wanted to spell out "I wuv you, nickie" in smileys, but was shackled by punitive regulation mularkey.
Free the emoticons!

Absolutely should have left them. I'm disappointed at Purg purging emoticons.
I think a bit more voting activity is needed. Surely more than 20 people played these?

They might be intimidated by the smileys :p

I voted for Up in the Bonehoard because it's the most complete of the released missions. [...] Including the Alarus Extension and the bow upgrade, two old TTLG memes, is the icing on the cake here.
And, well, as I'm the author I see a lot of issues and wasted potential that others don't. I blocked off a lot of the level and kept some of the accessible rooms too vanilla. I could've made it larger and also gone further with the weirdness.[...]
That said, I tried to stick to the theme and put in as many weird things as I could think of, so if you wonder why there's a spinning fish as a loot item, it's just because I cranked the craziness up to 11!
Hmmm...
I voted for "Up in the bonehoard, but as you said - your entry was a solid mission and yes, it pleased me. :angel:
In my opinion, the OM "Down on the Bonehoard" is a great example of a vertical maze in which you can easily get lost. Turning it upside down was a clever move and empowered the benefits of this mission. In the screenshots, there never was "too much weirdness", just all the junk and the water was "fallen down". Plus the custom made Alarus extension matched up with the architectural style of the tombs.
I have to admit, that I only saw the screenshots, but never played this mission since now. :erg:
Adding too much weirdness could be an "overkill" and could quickly turn a mission in pure ridiculousness. Chaos needs to be used moderate.
