Approved.
Plantoris made a nice point to me, everyone should upload their future additions to the scrapyard like he did.

If you don't know how to get to the scrapyard, here is a link.

OR
You can get to the scrapyard by hovering over the Exchange tab with your mouse and clicking "Browse the Scrapyard"

^ Thanks Eveariel

Added an element I thought of on the spot. It's a dive loop and then an inclined loop that goes through the dive loop. I'm calling it a Dive Knot for now, but I'm not set on that name so if anyone else any ideas I'm all ears lol

Approved.
New Addition, make sure the train makes it through your element after you add it, because if it doesn't make it through your element, then everyone after you, will have done work for nothing.

Also, you are allowed to change the launch speed and add trims if you need to make the ride not have red G's, but please do not use this privilege irresponsibly.

I don't know if that was directed at me or not, but it does make it through the dive knot

Edit: Though I guess it wouldn't have been approved if it was directed at me

Yep, was fully aware, just some people might not be so I figured :P might as well put a direct link.

So if I designed a loop that specifically had hang time someone else is allowed to change the speed of the ride because they're inept at designing something that works?

Also this "dive know" sounds suspiciously like two elements according to the ruleset. But it's approved so whatever.

Well a batwing would work, wouldn't it? It's different than interlocking corkscrews. The "Dive Knot" is one element.

Going on the basis that interlocking corkscrews are 3 separate elements as per the ruleset. A batwing is a single recognised element. You have two seperate recognised elements interlocked together - to make an extreme example what is to stop you from adding another dive loop through the incline loop into a cobra roll that interlocked that etc etc. and just going. Oh its one element called a Spaghetti.

Anyways like I said its been approved and the rules aren't being treated as concrete anyway so personally I'm not losing sleep over it. It was more of a query than an accusations so I hope you're not taking it personally. There's no need to get pedantic over a typo though.

Pedantic = "overly concerned with minute details or formalisms, especially in teaching."

Rule that entire game is based on = a pretty major detail.

I love when people fire back with silly arguments that don't make a ton of sense just so they get the last word in. It amuses me. *grabs popcorn*

Also, more importantly, I don't have NL access right now, soooo I suggest each person uploads a picture of what they did. That way I can enjoy the game without having to inspect each file revision.

Yea, I am not totally concrete with the rules and I approve it as I see fit. I considered the Knot to be one element so I approved it.
But Interlocking corkscrews are difference because they are technically considered 2 different elements that could be separated, while the knot could not.

Also, why hasn't anyone gone?

Yes, but you must wait for 3 people to go after you before you can go again.

I call my element S-climb into inclined dive loop! (I hope everyone else come up with some crazy name for their elements)
http://www.coastercrazy.com/scrapyard/d ... crap_id=55

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I added a small brake at the end of the element just to be rideable in the sim. remember to remove it before you continue building!!!
