Two-Button Challenge extension

I've had a number of people express interest in the Two-Button Challenge, including several definite projects and a number of questions about the deadline (midnight tonight) and submitting. However, with the deadline just under twelve hours away I still don't have any entries in my inbox.

So, here's the deal: I'm pushing the deadline back by one week, to the end of March 7th. To be more precise, I am going to be taking submissions for exactly another 180 hours from the posting of this announcement (which makes the official deadline about 10:14 BST on March 7th).

If there is enough interest I may up that to two weeks, but I don't want to start a procrastination-fest here (and besides, 348 hours isn't nearly as round a number as 180); I would highly recommend anyone interested in the contest to submit before the extended deadline, so if there's a problem it can be corrected before the contest closes.

Hey, I'm technically less than 24 hours behind the announced results deadline. I gave you bums a whole week past the original submission deadline.

(Which, incidentally, is kind of why I'm behind on results, since I specifically set the original deadline to avoid crunch time in my coursework.)

Late tonight or tomorrow morning. I was planning on finalizing results and posting them this afternoon but I ended up taking all afternoon working on an essay, and now I have to sit around playing Ultimatum all night stop Dr. Disastro from crashing his atomic asteroid base into the Earth. Godspeed, citizens!

What happens if you decide that ATP's entries get Place 1 2 and 3, does that mean that they get prize number 1 and no one else gets anything?

Unless your entry was entitled "Rejûvënizë Yõûr Månhõod", no I did not.

Ah, gotcha.


Well, I think we had everything finished up anyway. Just curious, did you get my e-mail? I would just post a link to the files here, but I'd like to keep the source closed, at least for now.

[edit]
Just mailed out the updates.
