If it's just me, I'd prefer to not make everyone wait.

EDIT: Just noticed that the 4 puzzles submitted are from the 4 "top" puzzlers, who got feedback on Round 1. Not sure how many others were still in, but there may be others who need an extension. I'll watch this space.

I would vote for an extension if there was a call for one, mostly because I want to keep making puzzles as long as possible and knocking out-no-shows kind of goes against that goal.

MNOWAX · 0.999... of a Troll

novice · No harm. Pun intended!

Mea culpa. I forgot to reserve time for this, but I'm more than halfway done with a mediocre puzzle. I'd like to ask for an extension.

Elethiomel · Daedalian Member

I haven't even started anything, still searching for an idea.

I'll make an effort to submit something if there is an extension, though.

Jack_Ian · Big Endian

Scurra · Daedalian Member

Hey, I'm doing CiSRA as well. That's no excuse. Revenge most foul!

(edit: plus what esme says is true for me as well, although I'm on a different team that's doing not especially brilliantly...)
And we had an extension last round (plus, as noted, we knew what the theme for the next puzzle was several weeks ago.)

But since I'd rather everyone was in as well, I guess that an extension would be OK.

Looks like this might be curtains for me. I'm not even halfway finished, and I've only got about 2 hours (10-midnight) free this evening. Hopefully, I'll be able to submit something, but we'll see.

So, will the puzzles be posted in the HOF thread for solving, then? Or are you judging them / conducting other secret activities first?

groza528 · No Place Like Home

Yeah, I was going to ask about this too.

Any chance we can get another early notice of the next theme? (Not that I feel particularly confident about making it to the next round.)

MNOWAX · 0.999... of a Troll

I'm still waiting on DF who will be doing a challenge just for the next round.

As you saw, the last challenge was UM's doing, and he actually will get the final say of who wins and who goes home.

Some random comments by the judges:

groza528 · No Place Like Home

Jack_Ian · Big Endian

The trolls do look great. Makes my submission seem very boring indeed.
I'm really going to have to add some spice next time. (Thank God I have immunity this round).

How did you create the trolls btw.?

Undercover Monk · Professor Chaos

Ummmmm I haven't seen Dented Ford post in a long time are we gonna need a replacement judge?????

Scurra let me know that he currently has no internet access. I'm still waiting on him, and the rest of me. Until then, I'm off!

My internet is back! Judging will be finalised soon.

In the meantime I can announce the next challenge for you to begin consideration:

I want a puzzle that is NON TEXT-BASED. Captions and words can be involved, flavour text or some instructions - all are fine - but I don't want sentences and clues, cryptic or otherwise, for the basis of the puzzle. Maps, colours, painting by numbers (nonograms), cut out and construct, origami, etc are all the sorts of things I'm imagining. Please imagine more.

groza528 · No Place Like Home

Yeah, I assume now we're waiting on MNO's power to come back Revenge most foul!

MNOWAX · 0.999... of a Troll

very funny. I've been here the entire time, it seems like i was the only one in NY that didn't lose power lol

Glad you're safe and the storm didn't hit you too hard. Sorry for the flippant remark; the weakest of my filters tend to shut down when I don't get enough sleep; hope nobody took too much offense.

esme · ^^^^-- is female! Get the pronouns right

Any news?
