    What does the extract mean? And I enjoy the round 1 poem, I analyzed it in English this year. Both are good :thumbsup:

    The Prelude is a long autobiographical poetry book, this is just an extract from that book, type it in on google.

    2nd one yes for sure, first I'm on the fence. I will let you do it, but both will be hard to pull off.

    Don't worry, I can pull them both off, it is just gonna be more of a symbolic connection with the fire and ice, relating to total destruction and the end of life on earth. The second one I am pretty confident about.

    Except it's not supposed to be that symbolic, read the rules and the judging criteria, you could lose points for that.

    Also, RiderExtreme2 for the Ride/Difficulty portion of the judging criteria, could you explain that a bit more. Dies it mean that difficulty is good? Or is it more of "you need to have a good balance of difficulty and smoothness"

    Honestly if it's completable by a significant number of people then it's fine. (This is so I don't have a brain aneurysm while trying to play a track with the difficulty of Ebolaids II or Rotate III)
