There hasn't been a new post on this forum for a week. Just wondering what's going on :shock:

I just didn't want to post twice in a row. I don't know what's happening, but I've been checking back every day.

Update: I've been hoping to get the ruleset finalized and judging done, but every time I've planned to do this, something else has come up. I'm actually glad everything is happening before it really starts, so hopefully once it starts nothing else can happen.

This past week: Mother broke her wrist; needed driven back and forth to the doctors 3 times, to get 3 different casts, and will be going back next week as well. In addition, I live 30 minutes away from her house.

I'm sorry to make you guys to wait, but I'm glad that you guys have longer to work on files, instead of waiting 2 weeks for results, or something else.

News Updates: The prize pool is bigger, I got everyone's PM's, even though the list hasn't been updated, and I'm not dead.

So please just hold on a little more. I'm going to work my best that once this starts, it'll be one of the best we have ever had.

All I can say is...

...how did your mother break her wrist?

She was playing with my bro's children, trying to kick water from the slip and slide at them.
Went to kick, was on one foot, lost balance as the water made the ground slippery, instead of putting two hands back she fell on one.

Well, I'd much rather wait a while to start, if it means the contest will run smoothly.

Also, hopefully, everyone will be done by the time you announce it. ;D

I'm also glad it's taking a little longer as well, It took me forever just think of a good song to choose. After that, I procrastinated making the song until this thursday.

I also hope everything goes around smoothly because of these delays.

Ouch. I hope she heals soon so she can make you brownies and cookies to eat as you play my entry. The sugar rush will release happiness-things in your brain that will cause you to rate my simfile very highly (unless you aren't judging, then you'll blackmail the judges into rating my simfile highly).

Hi,

This contest is shaping up to be the best summer tournament ever, and I think you guys will agree.

Anonymity is obviously going to be controversial but we'd like to try it once, just to see how it works out.

The rules are being discussed in the Staff forum right now. Once all concerns have been addressed and BLueSS is sure he can begin without suffering any major hiccups, we'll blow the whistle.\

(whoo)

Finals rules and schedule almost nailed down. So hopefully the end of the week and we'll have it ready to go.

And these rules have been preventing you from updating the Entry list for the past month?

BLueSS · by **BLueSS** » Thu Jul 19, 2007 9:25 pm

Priority to get rules done > priority to update the list.

And since Time was limited, one came first.

It's updated btw. And yes, I got everyone's changes. All 38,000 of them. :lol:
