Now that the first stage is over, it is time to get the final drafts in and do the nominating...

As for the final drafts, i have been thinking, and here is my two thoughts...

1. We extend the deadline to 11:59 Tuesday 7 2000, it seems that many threads have not been discussed and that only a few threads are ready to post in final draft form

2. Change the word limit to a suggested 300 words...if it takes more than that to fully explain a concept then so be it...however i am sure that it won't take 30,000 or even 3000 words to explain any of the ideas posted here...however i don't want to lose much of the sublte nuances of many of the ideas

Also

i will get an email list up for everyone who posted an idea and will mail them a reminder of whats going on

and i just want to thank everyone who has participated so far! it been great guys...i would especially like to thank my co-conspiritor in this raingoon, and i would like to thank mark and dan for having such a great site!

Well, I'm really interested to see the result. And don't worry about all the threads--the forum needed a good kicking.

[raingoon]

Korn469 -- good call on next Tuesday. Maybe it's time for Mark to post a reminder on the main page?

[Jeje2]

OK,
I will need a kick in the butt to make it.

(I only have Internet at work anymore, so you demand worktime of me. Thank's boys )

I'll try to write something over the weekend.

Korn: Nice job

Korn469, the way my Energy thread is shaping up I feel I'd better recuse myself from the vote tallying process. There is at least a possibility that Energy or my nomination for the News Ticker could be in the top 10 and I wouldn't want my co-manager status to tarnish all the effort. So if you don't mind handling it, I'd feel better if I stepped back at this point. Not that I don't remain, your devoted servant in Civ,

raingoon,

Anybody, I need some comments here: http://apolyton.net/forums/Forum28/HTML/000307.html

I completely forgot about that ec3 thing and now that I found something in my mailbox telling me to hand in a result by wednesday I am quite in a hurry.

I am sorry I forgot. Now, if anyone is willing to do some comments in the above thread.

Where should final drafts be submitted? In each idea thread, or by email, or what?

[korn469]

in the disucssion thread for your idea

Well, there isn't a "my idea" thread because someone else started a thread for "my idea" before I did. Why not include both our final drafts for the vote? The only reason the other person has "ownership" of "my idea" is because they managed to post before I did, and I followed the guidelines and didn't post a duplicate idea.

[korn469]

work together and make a single final draft that is an amalgum of both of your ideas...that is why you have to wednesday to discuss and compromise
and reach a consensus

[ChrisShaffer]

Final drafts are due by 11:59 March 8, right?

What time zone?

Is that 11:59 one minute before noon or 11:59 one minute before midnight?
