Will you join us for the ride?

Nifty! I saw the results and was excited... now I just have to brainstorm something. =) And then draw it. But you're right, plenty of time. Just gotta narrow down my choices and get going. Whether I finish in a couple weeks or run it down to the wire, I'm in. (Lord willing I'll kick my butt in gear so as not to run it down to the wire, but I have a history...)

Shame on you

Heh... well, I actually sketched out some rough, no, make that VERY ROUGH, possibilities the other day. Nothing really worth mentioning, but that's progress for me. Perhaps I'll narrow something down in the next few days. I like that this contest is wide open possibility-wise, but that also means I have much more trouble deciding what to do.

shalom itay · Post by **shalom itay** » Fri Nov 19, 2010 9:35 am

We still have alot of time, so take it slow, and explore your options.
I'm sure you'll produce something great (like always

).

Dont want to panic anyone, but its time to "put the pedal to the metal"

IAMCLANWOLF · Post by **IAMCLANWOLF** » Tue Dec 21, 2010 6:52 pm

Any chance for an extension on the deadline? Things are just too crazy with the Holyday to finish in time...

Extension will be granted...more to follow.

Cool. I'll be looking for that new deadline then. Thank you sir.

Diamond Shark · Post by **Diamond Shark** » Wed Dec 22, 2010 12:43 pm

that would really help here too, have it nearly finished , just day or two more would take some pressure off.

shalom itay · Post by **shalom itay** » Thu Dec 23, 2010 10:09 am

End date updated to 15.01.2011 - good luck to all.

Squigglysquid · Post by **Squigglysquid** » Thu Jan 06, 2011 2:29 am

It's still alive?! =) I was sure I'd missed it. We had reliable internet while I was deployed, but the proxy/filter we had to go through decided it didn't care for this site... who knows why. Originally everything worked but at times I'd have to wait 10-30 seconds between clicks or I'd get a "server busy" error or similar. Mid Nov I had to start using vtunnel to get BTU to work, and beginning of December they blocked that too. Should have seen it coming, but I quit working on my submission shortly after that since I couldn't get at anything on the forums. I'm stateside again, thank God... so have 'til the 15th? I declare today (when I wake up again) a drawing day!

shalom itay · Post by **shalom itay** » Thu Jan 06, 2011 3:24 pm

Bring it on!

shalom itay · Post by **shalom itay** » Tue Jan 11, 2011 5:24 pm

Last few days folks...
