To tell you the truth, I may just drop the deadline. As I've said before, I'm not going to accept any piece of work. I expect a 5 second beta, I've never asked for more than a 5 second beta the first time. I was too lienant in the past. There are people on this project that have been here since the start and they don't even have one second done. I can only symphathize with a few people that are having problems and I symphathize with everyone on the fact that you aren't going to be able to do a 30 second segment in 2 weeks because you all do indeed have a life. I never asked anyone to finish their segment within 2 weeks. All I asked from the members of this project was dedication. It's my fault as the head of this project for not keeping up with my editors. BUT for the past, what, 4 months, I HAVE pressed them to begin. As you all know, I send PMs to EVERYONE that is currently in the project because not everyone is a forum-frequenter and you can't miss a PM. If you don't look at how many PMs you have each time you visit the forum, then what the hell. To tell you the truth, I run this project as I see fit. I just said "screw it," recently. This nice bullshit I've been doing for almost a year, letting people procrastinate, slack-off, all that. It's done. The people who have recently joined have either finished segments, or have started on it. The people that've been here the whole time, what the HELL have you been doing for a year? As for new recruits, for the moment, I haven't pressured them too much, but I have sent PMs to them as well. This is so I can ensure NO ONE comes to me near the deadline of this project and say "oh, I didn't know the due date was *insert date*." If I EVER see that, they're being booted. SQ has always had problems with my methods, so I just brush it off. We all have our own way of doing things, and I've been really nice, not anymore, though. As a previous member of this project Cereb, you know that I always ask about your segment status. This is, of course, the members I have on my AIM. Everyone else I PM like once a month or every other month. I post and tell everyone if I've made an update, so there's no excuse for anyone. Whenever SQ actually makes a good point, though. I take it into consideration and may even enforce it. Like the due date, I added one, guess what? I have members that still haven't done anything. So it was either you have a beta ready for me within the next 2 weeks, or just get the hell off this project because you obviously don't have the same motivation of finishing this project when you first came in(maybe you never even had it all). There are some things that pissed me off, too. Members in this project finishing 2 vids without even starting a segment they should've started long ago. What the hell.. The students in this project, oh hells no. None of them should have an excuse due to summer vacation. TheUnlimited had a summer job and he still got some of his segment done. Meh.. I'm starting to sound like I'm repeating myself so, meh..
EDIT: Oh, yeah! Guess what everyone? Today's the day you were all supposed to turn in a beta! When did I tell you all about this again? A month and 2 weeks ago, I think. I PMed you all, you got a 2 week extension. You've ALL heard about it. Cereb, even you knew about it.
EDIT2: Brolly345, one of the members I've PMed, ask him. He can tell you how often I update, PM, and all. No one seemed to care, though. My fault again for not running a tight shift.
