None of us know your time zone, is there a way on your computer or this site to set yours to Greenwich time to check it?

My time zone? New York. I'll see if I can set my computer to Greenwich time zone though.

Ok, KOB? Let's do this the easy way. What time is it where you are now?

You can set it to GMT in the Forum's settings. It's 12 midday here now, so you've got 12 hours to finish it.

That's all the info I need, lol

Good luck then

Good luck Kobby, and everyone else that is hurrying to finish - get your butts in gear !!!!! Good luck all !!!

Ah, this reminds me of the scramble to do all the homework we'd been given, all on the last day of the six weeks off for school's summer holidays... ...

How's your patience? Can it stand one more resubmission?

My children do the same thing, suddenly remember on the last day that their homework is due the next day/final exams the next day, etc.


@ Mustard - I promise I won't send in any more if you just take that "Final Edit" one, lol. Thank you very much!

This thread is absolutely hilarious.

This is where we find out how many times we can fit the words "Please" and "Final" in the title of a PM.

Hahaha!

Lol, yes. I have sent two, but the last one was before the extension.

If I attempt to look at mine again I'll be in big trouble with my story crew, lol. My writing time today is already committed!

You break that record this time then?

EDIT: Lol, never mind, whilst I was searching for your quote you've answered it

Lol, I felt the steam rising off Darkom through the PM box, ROFL !!! Won't do that again, lol.

Go for 10!!


This reminds me somewhat of a funny conversation I had with a friend that is going to law school. He reviews articles before they are sent to be published and there was a sentence that ran up to 92 words. His comment was: "Couldn't you have at least hit 100?"

Not sure which has been more fun- the contest, or the flurry of us all trying to manage to write something... and then decide if it meets the spec.

ROFL !!! I saw the comment you made somewhere that you were 1000 words in and realized it wasn't TES related, ROFL !!! I think I would have to use the "Edit/Find/Replace" for that, ROFL !!!


*Treydoggie changes "Wasteland" to "Tamriel;" "The Wanderer" to "Pinarus Inventius"*

It was even worse than that. It was set in "Non-Specific Unnamed World with Magic and Medieval Type People and Customs"

*Never mind- nearly put in a spoilerish notation of one of the ways in which TES-izing was helpful to the overall story*

GAAAAAH! Don't give any clues, lol. I like guessing. Rachel used to fool me every year over at the BGSF! I know how to figure out DE and Kobby, but I'll have trouble with you/Grits/Burnt/and maybe Liz. Uleni I might be able to figure out, not sure. If Rihanae entered, I'd be able to figure his out by dialogue I think.

Okay guys and gals...

THIS IS YOUR 6 HOUR WARNING, REPEAT 6 HOURS LEFT!!

This message is for those who can't figure out GMT....

Which was why I rushed to enter as soon as I possibly could- typos and all.

I mean I THINK I might possibly have figured out the GMT conversion- I can do the inches to cm stuff in my head...

But... I was WRITING. I don't WANT to do math when I am writing!

This is probably not the time to bring up Daylight Savings Time.

No... Lmfao

*Makes sign to avert evil* NAME IT NOT! Run away. Run away.

We just did our clocks...It's now 21.00 hours here in this house...Take off 1 hour for London time...So that's 4 hours left methinks...Or three for me... ...But maybe not...

LOL! Don't confuse them

Daylight Savings doesn't start till 1 in the morning, as you well know

4 HOURS LEFT GMT CHALLENGED PEOPLE, 4 HOURS LEFT!

Hmm, maybe I should become a town crier for my next job...

This is an excellent help Burnt! Thank you !!!

Too bad I'm at work for the Easter rush.

IM NOT IN GOOD SHAPE!

2 HOURS LEFT!

How you getting on KOB? You getting there? Anybody else still working on it?

I'm not in good shape. I HAVE WRITER'S BLOCK

Then use your writer's hammer! Go Kobby Go!!!

I can't

I'm not sure I can get this done. How much time is left?

Just under 25 minutes...

I can't do it.

A damn. I failed. Miserably.

I tried cramming stuff in but the story won't look good enough. Maybe next time!

Same. I can't do this

How much have you left to do?

It's not even half-way done

Up to you all, of course, but maybe you could finish and post them up later?

SUBMITTED MINE 1 MINUTE BEFORE THE DEADLINE! HA!!!!!!!!!!

I feel so good about myself, I'm willing to bring you guys to the local pub and pay for the first twelve roudns! Woot!

It is a good feeling when you get it PM'd to Mustard, a relieved feeling, lol.

Aye, but whew. My fingers hurt.

Well done, that man. Make mine a Mountain Dew- (diet- darned middle age).

Thanks for the diet Coke, Uleni!

You sure you guys don't want the heavy stuff?

Like.....

(Root)beer?

Hehehe
