hmm. now that i think of it, it would seem that the contest should have no ending and the total number of posts should not be viewable by eligible contestants.
...yep. that makes the most sense. anyone agree?

The total number of posts is always viewable at the top of the main forum index. The contest will have an ending when we reach 1,000,000 posts.

Ah, sorry about being unclear, I meant in the calendar you set up for this contest. It says that I'm guessing at 7-8pm on June 16th, and you're guessing at the same time June 17th, which is not the case, right?

I took the Link off and am removing the page anyways. I just don't have the time to keep it updated at this time.

Regards.

Hope I didn't pick a date/time already chosen since I didn't review all dates submited.

If you want to better your chance of winning, if you do pick a time that someone else picks and it went unnoticed, well, the other person will win instead. So its probably best for you to review all the times that were posted before yours.

I was just wondering what happens in case of such duplications. That clears it. It's good that you warned the folks here trickykid.

Since trickykid has caved in, I quickly did a calendar. It's here:

http://www.architecture-forums.org/lq-calendar.html

If I've made any mistakes, please let me know. There were several conflicts already:

acker and hacman (acker has precedence)
Grasshopper and gagda1 (Grasshopper has precedence)
dora and Megaman X (dora has precedence)
320mb and Basurero (320mb has precedence)

11-12am would indicate late night.. as noon is actually 12pm..

I know, I'm just checking, because people tend to confuse it, and the poster is not a native speaker.

Oh well, if they wanted the other, let them fix it. If not, I'd mark that as their time and if they win, they win.. if they don't.. oh well, should have picked another time..

And thanks for making a calendar, started my new position at work and I just don't have time for LQ during the day anymore and touching a computer at home is going to be last thing I want to do for a while..

Thanks for taking the time to manage the calendar, I think I speak for a lot of people when I say you've definitely made a random assortment of guesses into an easy-to-follow derby. I just hope I win. -- J.W.
