SGOTM 09 - Maintenance Thread

[AlanH]

There was also some discussion of the deadline in the first 20 or so posts of this thread.

Please plan to complete the game within three months of the start date.

...was a request to try to PLAN your game progress.

NOTE: Barring unforeseen disasters there will be a four month final deadline.
I shall declare winners and losers from those teams that have finished on July 27, 2009.

... defines the drop-dead date. I am not aware of any unforeseen circumstances that could warrant a delay in the July 27 deadline.

And to eliminate any doubt ...

I *did* warn players in this thread *not* to apply the upgrade to 3.19, and you *were* all asked to subscribe to this thread to ensure you saw all such announcements. So I will *not* accept failure to heed that warning as an excuse for extending the deadline.

Fredriksberg, go read the first post of this thread again.

I already did, and now I'm going to help you as well:

Please plan to complete the game within three months of the start date.

I interpret this as the deadline. If it's not the deadline, why should you try to complete by then when you can have more time?

... and you *were* all asked to subscribe to this thread to ensure you saw all such announcements ..

CRC were asked

 

[Lexad]

Yes, I'm ready. And may be just 90 turns will be enough...

Sensei....

Post #30 explained my two sentences. Presumably you read that as well?

I attempted to help by giving you a planning objective. If most teams had planned to use all the time available right to the deadline, then they would fail because plans always overrun. If you are not among those teams, and still expect to complete in the next six days, then well done.

Why interpret the three months planning horizon as a deadline, when the very next sentence stated the actual deadline date? Or can I only write one-line posts if I want them to be read?

 

[Frederiksberg]

Post #30 explained my two sentences. Presumably you read that as well?

Of course not. Post #30 explains clearly what you mean, post #1 doesn't. Thanks for clarifying.

Team CFR will finish before deadline, but I think later then 27 of june...

 

[BLubmuz]

Fifth Element will finish about 07/15.
I think the dead line was clear from the beginning.

 

[KingMorgan]

Trash Team will finish before the deadline.

 

[DwarfSleepy]

All clear for Wonder Bumpkins, and still on track to finish on time

 

[Ronnie1]

GK's are on pace!

 

[Gumbolt]

I assume you are already planning SGOTM 10?

I would not dare to assume the planning for SGOTM10 has started...might be too presumptious. But I certainly hope planning has begun.

I am also curious if the next SGOTM will be with 3.19. I have not upgraded yet due to the current SGOTM and BOTM, so I have not really followed the discussion of new features, impacts, etc.

 

[AlanH]

SGOTMs seem to have a natural life cycle of at least three to four months. I very much doubt if we would start a new BtS SGOTM on version 3.17, condemning players to maintaining a dual installation for that length of time and playing an entire game using an obsolete version.

But the next SGOTM is not a subject for this thread.

 

[AlanH]

Please note - 18 days to go.

 

[Gosha190]

Please note - 18 days to go.

CRC is noted. Anyway we will finish before deadline.

 

[RRRaskolnikov]

Please note - 18 days to go.

OSS is a bit late, but we are improving our pace

You may prefer not to publish spoiler info about your team status.

Anyone looking at the score graphic will know we are late (in game date terms I meant)
edit: anyway, it was mainly to inform you (and other involved mods)

 

[AlanH]

Game's over. All teams have finished, so I'll get the results compete and published shortly.

Well done on achieving the timetable everyone.
