Okay.
1 more day until it begins.

My question is whether the theme is announced at 12:00am PM or Eastern Time or when!

Anyone know?
Dylan?

Kind of loose last time. He likes to spring it on you when you are least expecting it. We are at his mercy..

I looked at the previous challenge submissions so I think I have a gist of what each challenge topic was, but just so that I can have an idea, can anyone post the directions or challenge topics from previous contests?

I was just curious as to how specific or general the topics were and the elbow room allotted for interpretations.

Thanks.

I'll probably post the theme tomorrow morning around 8am PST. Or whenever I feel like it. :)

As for the other themes... I went back and checked:

Trapped
Secrets
Cameras
Holiday spirit (I think)
Reflection

And I just decided what DVC6 will be!

Oh yeah, and it's GOOD!

ANd to make it fair, just cause I know a day early, I haven't put together any cast or crew, and won't until tomorrow.

Given the latest climatology, the theme is probably HEAT (or any variant thereof)!

HEAT!? I live in Antarctica. Damnit!

Hey! If you're annoucning the theme at 8am PST tomorrow, then the deadline should also be pushed back 8 hours!

Michael Fossenkemper
August 2nd, 2006, 07:02 PM
well i've hacked into Dylan's email and found the theme.

"4 fingers and 3 toes"

must be shot at night under a full moon in a different city than where you live. No music allowed.

All of us people on the West Coast have to take a pledge not to look at the theme until 11 a.m.--- but wait a minute, what about Europeans, oh, and the poor Australians, oh my...

I guess that the price they pay for being ahead of us.....

Yeah. I should do a lot of things. Like only use the express checkout for 10 items or less, recycle, and not pee in pools.

But if I'm not changing any of those, what chance do you think there is of me pushing the deadline back?

Sean McHenry

And we know NOT to swim in his pool!

I keep pushing for stuff like "furry woodland creatures and spoons". I can think of dozens of dark themes there. My luck and it will be "warm dead bodies and knives" and I'll draw a blank.

See you all tomorrow.

Isn't it more like 8 hours?

Joey Taylor
August 3rd, 2006, 01:03 AM
Nope.
He said 8am, and then he continued to say that he would do it whenever he felt like.

Dylan's messing with us ;).

3 minutes past midnight btw.

Rob Lohman
August 3rd, 2006, 01:10 AM
if it's just midnight there (as I suspected) then 8 am is still 8 hours (just a little
under now) away by my calculations. Unless you think 8 am = midnight...

Justin Tomchuk
August 3rd, 2006, 07:10 AM
Guys, Dylan said 8 AM PST, not Eastern or Atlantic etc. We still have 2 hours to go, and Dylan is probably sleeping. :)

Still half asleep, but I take it the theme is about recycling your pool water 10 times after you pee in it? Gee, nothing is coming to mind right now!

Oh wait, now I'm awake, never mind! :)

Man, sure is a nice day. I wonder what I'll do today? Maybe relax and soak up the sun for a little while.

You guys got anything planned for the weekend?

Ok, I've studied these next steps extensively. Next he locks the signup thread. Then he logs off and composes the anouncement thread. This takes anywhere between 20min to 1 hour depending on the coffee. He posts a couple of more times. Then posts the announcement.

LOL, I did it in reverse order. Now it's time to get some coffee. :)

Well I was going to go the the local pool to cool off a bit from this heat wave. But, for some reason, that does not sound appealing any longer! Can't remember why.
