Hi,

I made mistake, when I uploaded my final movie.
may I upload it once again?

please answer my question as quick as possible, it's urgent.

Not sure if I catch the last line correctly. I don't know if people would appreciate that kind of tone. Let's just assume something got lost in translation.

It surely is urgent. It's last minute and of course it's urgent. However may I suggest you that perhaps next time you should avoid last minute rush? I'm sure there's a lot of work to deal with for a video entry. But that should not stop you thinking about workload and time management. Finish your work 3 days before deadline and start uploading can avoid a lot of pressure.

anyway, i assume you can upload it again. because for image entries, you can.

I didn't mean to offend you.
thanks for help.

I can understand the irritation. I hope i don't get into trouble cause i haven't even finished the video editing :bounce:
Talking about a close call.
But in the end, i hope you understand that doing video as an individual isn't the position to finish the challenge a month or even a week early.
I do have to admit, i would feel very sad if i missed the call because of problems, but i'll accept that. And i agree some people don't find it fair. But there is a deadline for a reason and please don't expect everybody to be finished much earlier.
And this guy had to read the forum more oftenly :twisted:

oh no problem at all. English is not my first language either. I fully understand. I didn't take this personally. I just hope no one else did. Anyway. good luck with your upload. best wishes.

Yah man. i totally understand. I think "finish" 2-3 days ahead is kinda possible. let's just put it this way. like for instance, if the deadline is today, and you know it from the beginning. Instead of telling yourself it finishes today, you tell yourself it finishes last Friday. Then you will surely finish it last Friday and take your time to upload whatever you have to upload and give yourself some space and time to encounter the technical problems.

oh btw, your steampunk starwars entry rocks!

True, and some exceptional cases - like me - it's all because of trouble and illnesses. So finishing this even in the last hour is my way to bite hard and go for it. It's the only way you'll get somewhere.
Cheers and relax :applause:

[JackZhang]

Good to hear :)

Hey, my entry is up and everything is good (so this isn't a question about what the due date is). However, I just noticed though that the steampunk banner on the top of the player.php page has the wrong dates on it (Oct. 22 - Mar. 3). It doesn't really matter; just thought I'd point it out in case you wanted to change it :)

Right you are. It seems the preliminary dates made it into the early graphics and they never got updated.

No matter - bit late now ;)

Hi, I have a question: The results of the Challenge will be show at the same time image and video or at different dates,like previwest challenge?

Thanks.

[MsZippy]

Does anyone know when the results of the Steampunk Challenge might be announced?

[khendar]

The winners will be announced when the judging is complete. We got 300 image entries and 50-something video entries. Its going to take some time.

sorry khendar for taking your time. just out of curious, will the result of image and video be announced at the same time for this challenge? or separate like what we did before?

There's some discussion about that going on in the office. I'm not sure what the decision was, but I guess we'll all find out sometime in the next couple of weeks. ;)

Hi!
I do not understand why my job has disappeared from general view.
Perhaps I had failed to comply with certain rules of competition?
Mli there another reason?
Thank you.

Because the forum only display posts from the last month. As your final post was on the 20th of January, this month has passed and it has dropped off from the view. You can change how many months are displayed at the bottom of the forum.

[steelbug]

Ok.
Ya saw.
Thank you.

HI all :),


Can I ask when was the deadline for the entry submissions? Initially, I thought we had from 10th Nov to 19th Jan to submit entries (for images)... that was before I realised entries were already closed. Was 10th Nov the last day to submit?

Thanks!

[leigh]

Dude, this challenge was from last year.

[Pyke]

So to late then?

[mcscher]

The challenge had a deadline set to some time last year. The winners have been anounced and the challenge had a follow-up challenge that ended and had its winners announced as well. So I guess its too late now, yes!

It's never too late to pick up a challenge topic, create something on your own and post it in the forums and hope for it to get plugged. It just won't count for a closed challenge.

[untaken-usrname2000]

DOH! Sorry I misread the date. Thanks for the quick replies. :)
