So 99+ 13x3 = 138, yey, I'm not last...

I probably would not have given myself 99, but I'm happy someone enjoyed it (or used the old teacher method of using a ruler to measure lenght and give points based on that?), the more I look at it, the more dissapointed I'm at what I managed to make...
...but then if the 'way it should be done' in my mind would probably lead to some ~100 chapters minimum and I quite certainly wouldn't have patience to get that done...
 
Oh man, I hope the "99-less group" isn't arranged in any specific order... it's certainly not in alphabetic order of name or username... so it could be...?
 
Hey Alex, do you think you could tell us in roughly how many hours you'll give us the results?

Well, it all depends on when, and if, i get the missing scores/revisions.
The latest point that i wait for is on the 29th November midnight.

If then still something is missing, it will be excluded or revised by me.
I plan to start the result anouncments on the 30th November somtime in the morning.
That would be roughly about 38 hours from now (if i start at 10 in the morning).
Sorry i cant be more specific yet.

If i get all 3 missing scores/revisions today i could start announcing the results
also tomorrow, but thats not in my hands.

And I'm sorry for the nitpicking, but you are regularly replace 'yet' (as in "not now, but later") with 'jet' (as in "jet-engine, an aircraft engine type").

Kinda like how Canadians struggle with the word 'about' :D

Argh, the second grammatical error of mine that gets pointed out today... Sorry that. :(
I allways mix y & j, there are certain theories on why i do so, the experts havent yet agreed on one. :p

Perhaps there is some Swedish in the works?

No Swedish for sure, German maybe :)

CONTEST FINALE DATE & TIME SET!

You know what? I think a certain date is better than unsure waiting.
So I set the date & time now so everyone is sure on when the Contest Finale will take part :)

Tuesday the 30th November 2010 at 10:00 CET (*) the Contest Finale will start!

That means i will start announcing the rankings & honoring my judges in 30-60 minute intervals!

This will be a day long celebration, with hopefully a lot of fun and participation, as the contest was.
I hope all of you that are interrested will show up to congratulate the writers and thank the judges :)

Missing scores/revisions will be excluded or revised by me as i see fit.

(*) Central European Time, your timezone is irrelevant, my timezone counts

At the moment of this posting you still have roughly 37 hours till the Contest Finale!

I was hoping for you to double back the deadline to say... five hours instead of turning it to thirty-seven... Oh well. Things could be worse. Much worse. We could have to wait till Friday.

Though Alex, you can always PM the contestants the scores so as not to influence the judges, but also to stave off everyone's insatiable desire to learn the results.

No I really dont want to extend the end date any further, i allready extended it once, that has to be enough. :)
But I granted my judges time till the 29th, so this has also to be accounted for.

PM´s... wont happen, everyone gets to know it at the same time :)
 
I just read the latest announcment:

Forum Downtime - again!

This is the last planned downtime for a while now, but I hope you have all noticed that the forum is faster? This time the forum will be down from about 06.00 Tuesday morning until around noon. CET that is. In conjunction with the move we will also adjust the configuration to make better use of all the new memory, so hopefully everything will be up to speed after this.

This interferes with the contest finale.

So expect the Contest Finale to start when the Forum Downtime is over around noon.
That is in around 25 hours from now.
