then this would have been posted at 10:37 on the 23rd.

 

I just don't see why you put a date deadline if you aren't going to follow it.

 

Well, there was plenty of time to submit your entry, you can´t whine about ~1 hour. Staff does not work by clock.

Voted 1, some of them aren't even signatures.

They dont' have to. He should just post it on the correct day. Any time of that day, instead of before that day even starts.

 

It's completely unprofessional to start a contest before the deadline you set for entries. 

 

We may as well allow troll entries if we aren't going to be professional enough to stick to the deadline date posted.

Sure, next time I will post it when after wake up again. Means less time for people to vote but I can't satisfy everyone's needs apparently.

I think this is the biggest land slide in voting.

You could just put the date a day earlier if you're going to post it at the end of the day anyways.

There's atleast 3 entries that break the rules on size limit as well.

Then there's less time for people to enter. And let me disqualify them so we can go back to 3 entries a week. But honestly, are you upset because of the troll entries not being allowed? Because I've never seen you complaining like this before.

I like #1.

I'm not upset. I just think this is extremely poorly organized. You can ask them to resize their image.

 

I had a friend who was going to enter this, and he planned to make his entry the night before and missed it because you posted the SOTW too early.

I've done a lot of things to get the SOTW competition to relive. We asked for the graphics section to be moved up higher on the forums. I asked for everyone's suggestions and tried to bring a little bit more variety into the competition by implementing the render idea. I rewrote the rules to avoid certain situations and advertised the competition to get more people to vote. The only thing I've been getting in return for this lately is designers arguing with eachother and complaining all the time. I thought we had plenty of entries and posted this thread one hour too early because I wanted to go to sleep. So I'm sorry for your friend, I made a mistake and it's too late now. But do you really need all the drama for that? If you or your friend contacted me in that hour after I posted the thread explaining the situation to me I would've simply reposted the thread. But instead you come here acting all upset because I posted the thread one hour too early while I pm'd all the designers last time to behave themselves and get along a little bit more.

Then stop complaining and get your friend to stop procrastinating.

It's his fault he waited until 1 hour before the deadline to decide to make it.

Congratulations to @Debot for winning this SOTW competition!
