I'm making an official stance on extreme circumstances regarding the deadline rule. I didn't want to do this, but I personally know how terrible weather can not only be a major inconvenience, but also devastate communities [my hometown was destroyed a few years ago, and we had to rebuild it from scratch almost].
Send me everything you have done by 11:59 CST. Even if it's not completed, just send it.
If we have x number of drops [which is greater than or equal to the total number of those who are scheduled for elimination], you'd still be in the competition because you have a video sent to me and on file. In this situation, I will allow you to continue editing and send me your finished product by 6-9 AM the following morning [this gives roughtly 6-9 extra hours of editing] and I will send it in for judging, as allowing you extra time would not "harm" anybody in the competition who also had the same amount of time, and even a higher score because of the extra time would not matter, as everyone who would be eliminated is already eliminated. However, should your extra time result in your victory, you cannot "win" that round, and will not be considered in the standings. But since round winning does not result in a prize, this shouldn't be a big deal.
If we do not have 3 drops, then I will judge the video you had sent me at 11:59 CST.
Of the odd something of entries we've had, we've had entries ranging from 30 seconds to 2 minutes. If you are in Project NeoEditor I'm more than sure you're talented enough to create something in the amount of time you've been given, even under extreme circumstances.
This is the official stance I'm going to take on extreme deadline circumstances, and will apply it to everyone that demonstrates AN EXTREME NEED FOR AN EXTENSION.
Extreme Need:
1) Death in the family
2) Extreme Natural Disaster [I.E: Weather/EQ] that results in Power Outages and/or destruction of your personal property
Non-Extreme need:
1) Hardware/Software failure
2) Internet was "down"
3) "My hard drive failed!!!"
4) I went to a concert/date/friends/sex instead.
Please do not abuse this or troll regarding. I was VERY unsure about even doing this, but I realize that shit happens.
Do not expect this to work for you every time, and I will only reward this if the need is great.
EDIT: Drew, what are you even doing in this thread?
