[up][up] I suppose that's better, if it's less confusing to people unfamiliar with the game. Should the Shy Guy be edited out, so people like won't think it's the player character like petersohn did?

Thanks for cleaning up the picture. (Also, thank you to everybody for putting up with my Rambling Old Man Monologue.)

That definitely seems clearer to me. So long as that's a configuration of dirt that's actually possible to get in the game, I'm in support of it.

I'll go with that if only to get this thread resolved.

I'll add that the current caption probably should be replaced; it's poetic, rather than adding clarity. I'm not sure what a good replacement caption should be.

54 is so much clearer that the current.

^ From what I saw, only one of the six "pull" voters got converted to "keep" (rachiebird).

Can anyone who is in favor of 54 tell me how it shows Unwinnable by Insanity rather than Unwinnable by Mistake? The malice component is just not there for me.

What? I supported the pull and I changed over too... I'm confused.

I think it's because there's the obvious door right to the other side, easily accessible through the same means of getting into the pit is, meaning the player had to have done it intentionally.

[up] Didn't count you towards pull voters as you right away asked for the comparison shot.

[up] What's there to clue us in that the player cannot move out of the left pit?

Btw, which shots should be used for the before/after composition? Or is the plan to go with 54 alone?

I wonder if the player could see the door before deciding which way to dig.

Is this acceptable?

Or how about this?

I reduced the height of the pit, but the "unwinnable" nature should still be apparent. I prefer this version.

[up]The second one follows the usual vertical format of before-and-after images, like the one on Dummied Out.

[up][up]Not necessarily, but you can always jump back up unless you get rid of too much sand, like what happened in the image.
