More time?
polycounter lvl 9
So From request from Sparkwire. Can we have some more time to finish our entries?
And why am I posting and not sparkwire?
because sparkwire is BUSY BUSY animating all our lovely models for us, and now trying to model his own! :P

Sparkwire deserves his own custom taunt animation/s (or a medal or something) for his willingness help everyone and quality work on everything!
you are forgetting valve time, and their habit of delays.
What where how? guess i skipped over that line.
Just because they delay their own work doesn't mean they'll let us delay ours... Hypocrisy is a perfectly valid policy for any business. :-)
we are not even getting paid, why do we have to be on time and not them?
That's easy to explain. This is a contest. There is a prize. Disqualification makes judging easier. I'm not saying it's right, or fair, but that's likely the way it's going to happen.
My biggest worry right now is texture painting, but I'd love to have more time to import and test the items in-game.
not to be mean or anything...
(and by "they" I mostly mean Polycounters)
Jobs and social obligations, dude.
True, but I didn't say they were. I said that in response to Mico's comment about how he couldn't believe people were still working on it.
You know what amazes me? The fact that as late as a few days ago, people were still JOINING the contest.
Deadlines are there for a reason. If you don't have deadlines, you don't get quality work and you don't get stuff done at anything but a pace you could measure in geological terms.
How about learning to model, and texture
edit, anyway, there is a little line in the rules
so if you have no time for minor stuff then you can do it via that I believe.
easy for you to say, you're already done.
I thought that was 'badges'...
Oh wait, we LIKE badges! :-)
It says he's a heartless jerk and that we should all detest him. Also, we should kill him and eat his heart to gain access his awesome skills.
Yes, unpleasant things like...
...he's unemployed right now, so he has some extra time to work on projects.
...he has respect enough for deadlines that that he tries to meet them by working quickly.
...he wants to get quality work done instead of wasting time bitching on internet forums about people who are faster than he is.
...he has enough respect for other people that he doesn't make snide remarks about people he's never met.
Oh, wait, that last one has nothing to do with the contest. Oops.
I know we're all a little cranky, what with the deadline drawing near, but I really think the internet could use a sarcasm button, because any 'snide remarks' I'm certain were meant in jest only... For example, we don't actually intend to eat your heart. :-)
Meanwhile, I'm going to clear my head with some oxygen from the great outdoors.
HE'S GOING OUT IN THE OPEN! GRAB YOUR UTENSILS, BOYS! :-)
I can assure you all, this contest won't be the last. From the large turnout of high quality stuff, I wouldn't be surprised if Valve altered their contribution page to be based on monthly contests, maybe even with themes involved.
