Re: Rare Entries IX- assortment
May I request that the deadline is enforced strictly on this occasion? After all, you won't be entering

Re: Rare Entries IX- assortment
Then it's not a deadline. I suggest you rephrase the wording to something like the following:tractakid wrote:No promises. All depends on number of entries.GuyBarry wrote:May I request that the deadline is enforced strictly on this occasion? After all, you won't be entering
"Entries submitted before 01/11/13 at 18:00 will definitely be accepted. Entries submitted after that time may or not be accepted at my discretion."
Then at least players know where they stand. Given that (unlike with conventional quizzes) a player's score is affected by the number of entries from other players, it seems particularly important to specify with this type of quiz.
Or perhaps you could give two sets of scores: one being the player's score if the competition had been closed at the specified deadline, and the other being the score once all entries are taken into account.

I think this is a problem that only worries you. And I think you are intelligent enough to understand how I work. Good luck with your entry!GuyBarry wrote:Then it's not a deadline.

Re: Rare Entries IX- assortment
Why not be honest about the way the quiz operates? (And it doesn't only concern me; Sam expressed similar concerns in the last quiz.)

I would have entered by now but question 8 might as well be in Sanskrit for all I understand about it. Need to do some research...
