The Dink Network

i just see it this way: do whatever you want to make a good game. if you use the dink map instead of making your own and just add in a few of your monsters the voters are going to know you are full of shoot but if you are using it as a tool for story or whatever to make a good game you are on the right track reguardless of what the technicalities are, i think they are more like guidelines. they are there to try and prevent people from doing something totally unoriginal or that has nothing to do with what the point of the contest is about. its to make an ORIGINAL game for the contest not taking other peoples games or one of your old games and having it based on the failure theme. thats all there is to it
