Hey Theme Creators!

There's been a bit of confusion about when submissions for the Unsanity ShapeShifter Theme Contest need to be received. We need 'em by 12:00 AM Mountain Standard Time on February 2nd. In other words, midnight tonight.

So, burn that late-night oil and get your masterpiece done! And if you thought they were due last night, do those final tweaks and get something that's even more perfect in!

Good luck to all participants. Voting begins Tuesday morning!

The deadline date was indeed a bit confusing.. Thanks for clearing this up

mrtew · Feb 2, 2004, 07:56 AM

Wow, that is confusing.... I was looking forward to seeing all the new themes today! I guess one more day waiting won't kill me!

Smeger will this become a yearly thing like Pixelpalooza? I'd like to see it and it gives birth to great themes.

That's our plan. No guarantees are given at this point (and I am not the right person to give guarantees of such kind anyway), but it's what we'd like to do -- and I think all of us will benefit from such an event. =)

I'd definitely like to see this become a recurring event. It's great for everyone.

Great, then I have all night =)

cloudaj · Feb 2, 2004, 11:09 AM

midnight monday already passed, so im guessing you mean midnight on 2/3/04...remember the day changes at midnight :O

NetworkShadow · Feb 2, 2004, 01:29 PM

Oh, ok so tomorrow we'll be able to see them all. Cool, sucks that I'll be at school all day.
So I heard that they will be for download so people can try them and vote for them?

WICKEDfour · Feb 2, 2004, 01:55 PM

Ack! You scared the crud out of me! 12 AM February 2nd already passed, smeger. Do you mean February 3rd at 12:00 AM? I think you do, oh man do I hope that you do. The Unsanity site hasn't changed, so I assume that I can still submit my theme today, February 2nd. Anyway, moving on...I have to get home so I can finish Digital Device up!

smeger · Feb 2, 2004, 02:04 PM

Damn it, I'm never setting a deadline at midnight for anything ever again. The deadline is 11:59:59 PM on February 2nd, MST, which is GMT-7 on the planet Earth while moving at a speed that is not approaching the speed of light and while not in the presence of an extremely dense concentration of energy or matter.

In other words, when you go to bed tonight.

Okay?

wibs · Feb 2, 2004, 02:10 PM

now i feel like a fool for refreshing the contest site every 15 minutes to see if anything had been posted late last night/early this morning.

i hope you unsanity guys don't mind latium being submitted again to fix a few remaining issues...

WICKEDfour · Feb 2, 2004, 02:21 PM

Okay, got it smeger. If anyone else really needs help deciphering time zones, I found that http://www.time.gov was quick and helpful. Just click on the Mountain Time Zone and the site will load a live clock that shows the current time in the zone. Then all you have to do is compare it to yours. I figured that MST was about an hour behind CST, but I checked it out just to make sure.

Don't mind at all! Make that beeeyotch perfect!

NetworkShadow · Feb 2, 2004, 08:10 PM

How many entries have there been so far? I sure hope it's a good bunch.

You didn't mention anything about Tachyons??? Those can really add to the type of confusion that you are creating! I can't believe you shortened the contest deadline just to clear things up... That second that you cut off the contest could have really hurt someone's chances.

Tachyons don't effect relative time durations between reference frames, duh!

Depends on the color, they can do anything as long as the color's different
