At least one person (maybe more) has built models which they haven't yet had
a chance to take photos of. I think one person was waiting on the delivery
of their first digital camera and had something like 8 or 9 models built.
If there aren't any objections, I'd like to extend the contest's deadline
for entries from December 1 (today) to December 4 (next Monday). That
would give one last weekend for any last-minute changes, photos, etc.
I picked December 1 out of a hat long ago without stopping to realize that
it was a Friday.
We should also make the deadline hour-fuzzy because of timezone differences.
So if you enter by Monday in your timezone, you're in the clear. Then we can
start the voting on December 6 (Wednesday) and wrap it up by the 13th and
announce the winners on approximately the 15th.
Sound good?

Thanks! I've been swamped with our fall legislative session, and just got
around to borrowing a digital camera.

Todd,
I don't think it is within your rights to arbitrarily set a deadline,
and then set an extension to that deadline. There are a lot of people
living overseas whose votes won't come in on time and if the result is
close...there will need to be time for a recount. I think I'll go ahead
and file a contest to the eventual results now to get a jump on the
crowd.

Too funny!

To Todd Lehman: Thanks. This gives me time to post any alternates and
mini-vehicles for my models. I just found out and posted the surface roller for
my FX II. The Communications Base alone has several times more articulation than
its 6930 predecessor. With the exception of the aerial scout craft, every section
has some kind of movable part system or modular transformation. But anyway, I'm
tooting my own horn. I'm sure there's a LUGNET section for that. (*snicker*)
To Thomas Main: I saw your post and sincerely wonder if you're a Floridian. If
you know that you're posting on the day before, do like me and let LUGNET and
Todd know what time it is in your city. My base got in at 23:55, Central Standard
Time (Memphis, USA).
If you post on Sunday night, (in case somebody's from London, 5 hrs. ahead of NY,
Fla, and D.C.) say that it is X:XX (PM or AM) in the time zone that YOU are
computing from.
It's like that year-early millenium party. It was new years in Kiribati and
Tonga, but wouldn't be Jan. 1 for a whole day later in the Samoan Islands (same
distance from Memphis to Louisiana). If he lives in Massachusetts, then he'd have
to give the people of Labrador and New Brunswick a whole day. So I end this
tidbit with this: Thomas Main, take a hint from Thomas Paine, and let things flow
the way they will. The final entries will be in -- overseas and all -- by 22:00
on December 4, U.S. Central Standard Time. However, just worry about midnight in
your own timezone and things will be fine.
