Sorry to be a nit pick, but what time on 1st September AoE? 00:00 or 23:59? “As generous as possible” would suggest 23:59, but granted it feels like that might be taking the piss a little.
It’s BST in the announcement post, but I’ve messed up in this comment thread (I missed the time while skimming) and now commit to AoE. Apologies for the confusion, folks!
I’d be personally grateful (and grateful in my Forum role) if people didn’t wait until the last minute to post their submissions (but last-minute submissions won’t be penalized in the scoring). Besides other problems, posting last-minute doesn’t allow wiggle room for things to go wrong.
And as an FYI, we’re not going to be accepting any late submissions.
When is the exact deadline? Like… the 1st September by UTC? Or the 1st of September by some American timezone?
We didn’t specify when we posted the announcement, so let’s be as generous as possible and say “Anywhere on Earth.” (Here’s a live clock for AoE time.)
