All right, well I was gonna wait until the end of the month to keep all you procrastinators guessing, but since I'm having all these dropouts (what else is new), I'll go ahead and mention that, yes, I will grant the extension.

Having said that, I'll give you the new deadline when the old one draws near, but for generality's sake, expect the extension to reach into December sometime.

For now, STOP DROPPING OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ahem, if you'd be so kind.

I don't know why there are so many dropouts. I mean, it's not like the deadline is even close.

Estension eh? in that case, I may be back in the running.

They need to stop dropping out. Because the way I see it, unless more people start working, it's gonna be Moogle and I, Sephy, and LeRoy. As exciting as it is, the more competition the better.

Don't forget Retro. (Or did he drop out, too?)

RMZ and I are very excited about our game. We will produce a quality product regardless of the other entrants.


...but it sure is nice to have competition!

Two words... Held back... As soon as I get my obsessive ass off of balancing battles, I'll be able to start scripting the opening of the game.

Even without him, we're going to get a far better turnout than last year. Ha. For there is at least one person I know who is working HARD secretively. So I'd suggest everyone to increase their efforts. Pssh, I know I am. Heh.

For all those eager to know what's going on with the deadline, here's what we're looking at.

The original deadline is approaching soon, but obviously that doesn't mean anything now because I decided to extend it. The reason of course is because I would rather not have any more dropouts. Having said that, here are the new deadlines:

December 23 for the posted file
December 30 for the finished file

The final deadline by the way will mark the fifth anniversary of Powerstick Man's release, so that's why I've chosen that date.

Hopefully, hopefully that will give you guys a chance to get through your educations, your holidays, and all the other stuff you have going on, and still have time to finish this. If not, then just release a crap game next month.

But this will be the final deadline. Judging will start the day everything is due. Keep in mind that my deadlines spill over into 6am EST the next day to give everyone around the world a chance to get it in by midnight their own time. So, mark your calendars.

And just so this doesn't become a wasted post (as posts about contest deadlines seem to be), I thought I'd let everyone know that I've been pounding away at a new novel that I will likely finish (the first draft anyway) at the end of the year. I think the idea is original enough to turn some heads in the publishing industry, so hopefully this one can go professional by next summer. I also found out recently that a Hollywood director got ahold of the first act of the screenplay I wrote for class back in summer of 2004, and liked it, so I'll probably be finishing that soon to see if the whole script gets as much attention as the first 30 pages. In other words, I'm pretty stocked with projects between now and the end of next month.

But, I wanted to make a pseudo-official announcement that I have been steadily working on an "Extended Edition" of Powerstick Man V1 alongside my V2 work, so you guys will have that to look forward to as well as all this other stuff.

Anyway, just wanted to throw those bits of information out there so that this doesn't have to be a boring post about deadlines and such.

Keep up the good work, guys.

Thank goodness I am having more time off of work... Oh wait... That's also a bad thing. I better hurry, finish this fine submission, show it to y'all and get back to life.
