:icon_arrow: Be ready - have 1 or 2 available vacation days from work set aside... just in case! This contest is going to be HUGE!
:icon_arrow: A cleared schedule for students (Stop procrastinating! Finish your homework, and finish it early!!)
:icon_arrow: Grab yourself some bottled food and canned goods for quick and easy access! You're not going to want to go anywhere!

Who's entering?
I'll be in if I can find teammates I guess.
Surprise guidelines will make this the first and prolly most interesting one for me
no brown and grey urban wastelands allowed?
Im guessing its gonna be huge so if anyone wants to partner up im down
but yeah, I'm up for joining a team and doing some hardcore modeling (thats what I do best/fastest) if anyone needs a dedicated modeler. I CAN do more but I'd rather stick with that. It's not like I have anything to do after work nowadays anyway hah
rooster; hoooo!

Another announcement, about the upcoming announcement!
I'll decide if I'm in, when I know what I'm in for.
I'm not going to get hyped up and then let down when the workflow is ass-backwards or the theme is so pigeon holed that it strangles most of the creativity out of entries. If its something I'll like doing then I'm in. If not, I have a lot of other stuff on my plate I'd love to devote the time to.
It'll be good, promise
A wife and a 1 yr old that are a blast to play with...
And a long list of personal projects I'd love to finish...
I won't make time for something massive unless its good. Its too early to tell.
I'd also hate to join up as part of a team, end up biting off more then I can chew and sink two other peoples chances.
Like I said, I'll wait and see what I'm in for, how long it will take and weigh that against the stuff I'm itching to work on already. I'm not really seeking fame, glory or fortune, so it has to be fun to work on. Stocking up on canned goods, and putting everything on hold, doesn't sound like fun... but who knows maybe it will be that good...
I don't mean to crap on anyones parade, I'd rather see people excited about this then try to drag it down. It's probably a great contest, but probably not my bag.
Let the glory hounds feast =P
ahhh team name....
Stand by....
Might be keen on a team up though so I can just help out with shit more than anything.

Im really hoping people can plan/manage teams well and get a consistent style and quality throughout the environment, I think that will be the major challenge for most inexperienced artists.
Sounds like an excuse to me.
