My English teacher wouldn't let me make a persuasive essay on what a good Lemmings level was because there were no "authoritative sources" on it, like a professor.  I thought that was the dumbest thing ever.  An actual lemmings player and level designer/critic would be a perfectly good source, certainly better than a professor.  I think we have some excellent designers right here.  I think maybe we should 'certify' people to be official experts on Lemming level designing, solving, and or critiquing.  There should be certain requirements for a certified Lemmings expert, such as a certain number of levels produced that got good reviews, or if you want to be a critic a certain number of level reviews written.  So, I'm writing this all to ask, should we do this, and if we should, what should the requirements be?

I think a solver should have to have beat the all the original Lemmings levels and a certain number of difficult player's packs.

I already agree that most English teachers are bleh (although as people they're not bad, the way they think drives me up a wall).  I just got really ticked off this time.  Really.

My English teacher right now is pretty good.  Nothing bad this year...until now  Xp.

You know if she goes here I might be in a bad position.  Bah.  She might just laugh.  At the same time...Hrm.  Makes me wonder if I should really post this.  Sure why not?

But, the name I said for the expert thing doesn't have to reflect the position.  It's more just supposed to mean "This person is reliable for getting help from on something" or whatever.  We could just call someone a Lemming X (X = reviewer, designer, etc.).  That doesn't sound too bad does it?

You really think your teacher will come to this forum...?

I disagree  :)

That's what I thought.  After all, who are we all here?  Are we not good sources?

Well, I gave up the topic as soon as I brought it into the open ccexplore.  Oh, and no I really doubt that she'll come here.  Of course the weirdest things in the world happen sometimes and the unexpected gets you in trouble.  That's happened before.  I'm really not too worried though.  I posted the message after all didn't I? ;)

On the subject of this, I could possibly qualify as a level designer, but I'm not very good at solving or anything.

You'd go back on that if you ever met my English teacher. Yesterday's lesson started off with him sitting at the front of the class, blinds closed et al and a lit birthday candle in his hand, speaking in a ghost tale voice...About how yelling out "BOO!" in a lesson caused a girl to wet herself ;D

He's still great at teaching though, and uber friendly. He's letting us take coursewok home to finish that was meant to be fully supervised!
