Judging from the number of posts in the later spoilers, a lot of people seem to have problems finishing GOTM 71 on time in spite of the extra week. I for one would appreciate one more week. Six weeks would match the size of the map fairly well, wouldn't it?
Extended GOTM71?

I second that motion! 
I estimate that I am about thirty turns from victory, but it is heavy going. I hope to be able to bash through tonight instead of sleeping, but it will still be pretty close just because of the amount of time it takes my PC to process the interturn.

We definitely have a low number of submittals on this late date; could be the time to play, and could be a lot of non-submittals due to the level of difficulty 
. After some 'discussion', we have decided to extend GOTM71 by one week to Oct. 29th. This should reflect on the submittal page later today.

I shall spend the extra time wisely. i.e. painstaking micromanagement for almost no discernible benefit. 
Oh no! I have already submitted my (incomplete) GOTM71 yesterday morning, before this decision was announced! 
I had played all night (and morning) and as the end was still far far ahead I simply stopped playing around noon and went straight to the submission page... After I had missed the GOTM70 deadline, I wanted to get at least a few points out of this big effort. (And then I went straight to work and had a dreadful day
)
civ_steve, may I revoke my submission and continue from the file I submitted? With another weekend to go I'm sure to finish it victoriously!
After a long and tedious uphill struggle and some hard work I finally feel in control of the game and would really like to complete it!
Thanks, Lanzelot
Edit: PS: Fortunately I didn't read the final spoiler yet. (This here was the first thread I saw, after I had had a good night's sleep...)

So am I! (j/k)I read spoilers a day before original submission deadline because I judged it impossible for me to hold it.
With this week more I could have finished in time
I vote against this extension!
(just joking)
I plyed in rush and domination come in sudden. I did not Micromanag and missed some good trade opportunities to meet deadline. Contnue useless reseach instead of making people happy...
So will it be some bonus for thouse who met deadline?
I feel sorry for you guys but not for asking the g/mods in the first place. To further complicate things, I feel sorry for anyone who did micromanage this map. 
I also feel sorry for myself because I rack my brains before every move I make, even though it doesn't really pay off. However I do not micromanage once I have the rough structure of the core set up.
