Looks like you are up for tomorrow's match. But like I said, this is an unofficial schedule. Nifft is the event coordinator.
Thanks for your reply!

Eagerly awaiting for my match,

Felipe.

Looks like my judging duties have come around again for round 7, Felipe_real and Sparky.

I see Felipe, Sparky, are you around? How do you guys feel about a noon EST start tomorrow?

For me sounds like a quite good time.

Best regards,

Felipe.

I think of myself as a lazy coordinator, but with luck, history will remember me as "lazy fair".

Awesome. I'll try to post a bit before noon EST to make sure you're both ready for action, then I'll post the list.

I probably won't get to my PC until around 1 or 2 PM EST. For my part, post the ingredients at noon, I'm fine with that.

Hey, just a quick update on my entry, or possible lack of one. I had to take my wife to the ER today, she woke up with severe pain. Turns out to be a large kidney stone. We spent all day at the hospital and she's back home on pain meds. I got the ingredients late Sunday and made some notes, found a direction. I got to work on things just a bit tonight, but am wiped out in general. If all goes well, I should be able to find a small block of time to write it up before the deadline today. This post is in case I don't make the deadline, so our judge isn't left wondering what is going on.

Speaking as your opponent, Thasmodius, I don't mind if you get a bit of extra time to write something up given the circumstances...

(All the best to your wife)

It's likely. (In Perfectland, I'd even get to participate as a contestant!)

You won't be holding up the next match, or the next round, so take another couple of hours if you need it.

The earliest I'll be able to judge is around midnight tonight anyway.

Best wishes, -- N

Iron DM 2009 - all matches

Please post to this thread when you get them so I can stop worrying that someone is dead in a ditch, or worse, playing World of Warcraft.

Either is fine for me since I'm home sick with the swine flu. If my roommate is any judge, I'll be out this whole week, so whenever works for me.

Jajajaja... OK, so confirmed: I've seen the ingredients!

A quick question, what is the maximum amount of words allowed?

Best regards,

Felipe.

There is no limit, except "don't annoy the judge".

Look at some of the earlier entries and the judgments handed down -- some got chided for running long, some got chided for skimping on detail.

I'd say three pages (single-spaced) is a decent average, but I'm not your judge, so caveat lector.

Cheers, -- N

In some versions of Iron DM, word counts limits have been created, but I'm not aware of any on this particular competition. So, I don't think there's an artificial limit. Time itself is enough of a limiting factor.

That said, we've had some loooong entries, and I am not of the opinion that length is better, necessarily. Take it easy on your judges . . . . we're old and fall asleep easily.

Nifft, humble minion, thank you both. I was able to get it done with a bit of extra time while not neglecting my family.

I certainly wish I had another day for a rewrite or two, brevity is not a skill I possess and I have to wrestle it in. But, it's up

Excellent.

To be fair, those things are hard for everyone, and that's why this is a contest of IRON DMs.

Off to the other thread, -- N
