Hello, I am curious. The scenarios are going to be sent in by June 1, 2005 for the contest. How soon will they be posted after they are received so we can download and play them. I know the judging ends September 1, 2005. Just curious. -------------------- Wasting your time and mine looking for a good laugh.

They are already posted on the scenario tables. I doubt that anything else is getting in under the wire, given that nothing has been beta tested publicly. There's a chance, but it's small. I just submitted Nine Vars to Spiderweb (why? I don't know), so whenever that gets posted, we can be pretty sure that's it. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

You're submitting a port of Alec's scenario to the contest? I know it won't win, but if for some reason Jeff loses his mind and chooses it as winner, then I would think you'd have to split the prize.[/pointless] -------------------- My Myspace, with some of my audial and visual art The Lyceum - The Headquarters of the Blades designing community The Louvre - The Blades of Avernum graphics database Alexandria - The Blades of Exile Scenario database BoE Webring - Self explanatory Polaris - Free porn here Odd Todd - Fun for the unemployed (and everyone else too) They Might Be Giants - Four websites for one of the greatest bands in existance -------------------- 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 Posts: 2957 | Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00 |

I don't believe he submitted it to the contest, I think he just submitted it to the scenario table as a timer. Posts: 206 | Registered: Thursday, April 18 2002 07:00 |

It's in the contest, in theory. I expect it to take last. But here's the thing. I've been looking at the scenario production out of the past year. Here's how it breaks down: There are eighteen scenarios on CSR. Four of those scenarios are by Jeff and obviously ineligible. APF and BS are by beta testers and therefore ineligible. I don't think DaC ever got submitted, because it's not on the tables and never has been. That leaves eleven scenarios. Jeff may not do what he did last time and consider a designer's work as a whole, because that would eliminate four more (LP, 9V, RoR, and EM), which means he wouldn't even be able to fill out a top ten. This is an interesting numbers game. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens. Smoo: Get ready to face the walls!

I... will.. .finish. I don't care how masochistic that makes me, I'm going to finish. TODAY.

That's strange — when the rules say "submit by June 1," I just assumed they meant by 12:00:01 a.m. PST on June 1st (which was nine and a half hours ago). I suppose they don't really specify. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens. Smoo: Get ready to face the walls!

been a while since you've been in school, I see. whenever a teacher/professor is foolish enough to be so unspecific, students take that as "the last possible instant which could conceivably be referred to as the last date mentioned". hence, 20050601 2359'59 (Pacific Time). This has real world precedent as well, my lease says "rent is due by the 3rd", this means the 3rd is the last date to put rent into the office (including their night drop) without receiving a late fee.

I was going based on what Olympia does. EDIT: I just sent an e-mail asking about this sort of stuff to Mariann, with whom I've been in conversation about the contest anyway and who has been very kind in answering my questions and responding to my requests. Hopefully we'll find out soon.

I would assume it would mean by the end of June 1st, e.g. Midnight today at Spiderwebs location. That would make the most sense. There are at least two people who are trying to make that time deadline. -------------------- Wasting your time and mine looking for a good laugh.

I haven't submitted yet, but I'm not sure how Spidweb can keep four scenarios out of the running. That'd be like having a BoE contest without Alcritas. -------------------- * Posts: 6936 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

From Mariann: "Midnight tonight is fine." "Yup, your right, this time we'll probably do it by scenarios, rather then designer. So some might get multiple awards." -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens. Smoo: Get ready to face the walls!
