I agree in theory with SandyBean - the problem seems to be that not only are the JS's posted in the forums, but also comments about the abilities of the beta-testers. That is why I suggested sending JS's to the builder rather than on to the forum. Back when the original mansions and the early custom mansions were built and tested, they were not nearly as complex as the current mansions nor were there as many players and/or as many players with such variable skill levels, increasing the odds of sending Jack
Where no Jack has been before. Sometimes we sound like such a group of crabby players - that must be a turn-off to newbies checking us out, besides denigrating the good work of those who beta-tested the mansions. I'm sure the 'regular' players have noticed that fewer and fewer people volunteer to test a mansion. It used to be a fun thing - now the tester is hung out to dry in most cases. I do not know what the answer is - and I hate making rules and rules - perhaps criticisms of the beta-testers should go to the builder rather than the forum? People's feelings are getting hurt, and they are the ones who are willing to test the mansions for everyone else's enjoyment.
