Congratulations captains. This contest is shaping up to be incredible, just from the numbers and names alone, and the general buzz this has drummed up. I'm really excited to see the creations this year.

I love the vibe here. Great use of colours and soft elevation changes. Good sense of denseness without being overcrowded.

Have to agree with Liam - that shaped pathway shows excellent design and planning.

Do gimmicks hurt or help your enjoyment of parks:  I think some are great, especially if they are clear in their execution, and add a certain amount of humour or cleverness to the park. However, if it's a gimmick based on a joke or reference, in particular, something said in Discord, but not necessarily brought over to NE, I can find this rather confusing and alienating. However, as an NE member who rarely frequents Discord, this is obviously a very personal opinion, and I'd understand if others didn't feel the same.

Is the current amount of detail expected in content harmful to the game:  Not the game as such, but somewhat so on a player-by-player basis. I believe some people see the current levels of detailing and are put off from creating content themselves - either feeling like they will never match that level, or starting but getting burnt out (and abandoning projects) in the pursuit of it. However, there are some players who seem completely unfazed by it, and are able to create incredible content with vastly less "detail", either owing to a mastery of negative space, landscaping, minimalism, suggestion, or just a style that conveys beauty and intent with just the bare bones.
