[QUOTE="Rexfelis, post: 245042, member: 5682"] [b]delay is good[/b] Although everyone is assuredly biting their nails in anxious expectation, this delay is good: 1 - allowing the judges more time to thoroughly "weed and feed" on the submissions will aid in ensuring that the cream rises to the top. The last thing we'd all want is for a judge to have a daily "quota" of submissions that he or she must plow through, thereby risking the chance that submissions with merit or subtlety are inadvertently weeded out. 2 - it gives us all more time to digest our own ideas and contemplate the approach we'd like to take towards the 10 pager - for those lucky enough to make it to the second stage and in the abscence of a guideline. 3 - it allows WOTC to run all the prospective 10 page ideas through their legal department to ensure that the idea is wholely original. What would be more embarrassing than to elevate a submission to the 10 page stage only to find out that a portion of the submission's idea was based on another party's intellectual property. 4 - for some, the sense of expectation is like an extended Christmas Eve...which is enjoyable in its own way. Through it all however, I'm sure the judges will find the mass appeal and sheer brilliance that the Empire of Flowing Smegma has to offer...despite the fact that I neglected to include floating islands of Smegma =o( Rexfelis [/QUOTE]
