Gary put you back in - yay!

It would have just been wrong to eliminate you on a Barrel of MONKEYs topic, ya know?

I am SHOCKED! I went to bed last night so sad, and since I woke up I've been avoiding logging on here. A few minutes ago I pursed my lips and resignedly signed on and OMG couldn't have been more surprised. Talk about a stay of execution!!!

I know - you're lucky he's feeling generous!

Seriously though, I'm pretty sure all of the topic thread deadlines have been 8:00 or at most 9:00, and obviously it's better to err on the early side than late. =D

Are voting deadlines at 10? I don't know what I was thinking. Squeezing up against a deadline regardless isn't smart anyway. I much prefer getting things in early!

I think that voting deadlines are at 10 and writing deadline are at 8, which is what might have gotten you confused. Yay for the grace!

I did this very same thing once upon a previous season, wrote the entry (on a plane abroad no less!) had it all ready and then forgot that ~that week only~ there was an early deadline, which made me miss it due to the added timezone shift. Luckily, I still had a bye, but I was very annoyed with myself.

I read the entry now and I am doubly glad you were allowed to stay, because it's a good one, even for someone who does not recognize most of these games :) (I am sure we played most, as well, but the names would've been different.)

Okay, I have just checked the voting posts, and the deadline USUALLY is at 10 p.m., but this week it's at 9 p.m., and yet another week it was at 8 p.m.

The topics are due MOSTLY at 8 p.m., but sometimes at 9 p.m., and sometimes at 10 p.m.

*sticks out her tongue* which is indifferent to me, because in my time zone, 8 p.m. is 4 a.m. the following day, and the latest I have ever submitted anything is 2 hours before that :P
