Isn't this subjective/YMMV?: Polygon Ceiling

Yes. I've removed all the "It's 3D now so it sucks" from Sandbox.Polygon Ceiling.

Now, should we swap the sandbox in, rewrite the laconic and possibly also the wicks so that we can close this?

OK. Considering that removing the critical reception/Audience Reaction stuff from Sandbox.Polygon Ceiling left only 1/3 of the examples, I want to have some more consensus before going forward, which would be:

  1. Swapping in Sandbox.Polygon Ceiling in Polygon Ceiling,
  2. Rewrite the laconic accordingly,
  3. Pull this off YMMV,
  4. Go through the wicks, move them back to /Main/ and remove all Audience Reaction stuff (or change it to more suited YMMV things),
  5. Make the note on discussion and then close this thread.

OK, after 12 days with no reply, I am going ahead here.

Advanced down to F, but after reading through the examples, I noticed something: Considering that "Ceiling" here means "The point above which you can't go", the name basically means "You cannot improve with 3D, get above 2D with 3D", and that is a subjective name. Maybe a rename is in order after all?

Nah, it's a reference to the idiom "Glass Ceiling". A glass ceiling is something you can break through, but you have to push hard enough to break it, and once you break it the first time it gets easier to get through it again afterwards.

Rhymes with "Protracted."

I've made my way through the wicks and kept the trope as "difficulties encountered due to/during the 3D transition", and added a respective note on the discussion.

Can this be closed now?
