The agreed upon deadline was about 6 weeks from the start of the contest. Gleeok mistakenly put the wrong date. However that isn't a hard deadline. A hard deadline hasnt been set just yet.

Okay. We'll do what we can in the given timeframe, but it's gonna be pretty close I think. I'd just hate to miss it.
@Dart Zaidyer : I screwed up the date, but maybe it's not such a bad thing. There's no "for-no-reason-because-we-said-so Nazi deadline" or anything like that. We're going for more of a community thing than the 4th - which was out of nowhere, and had a very short time frame - to try and produce some quality quests. The last thing we want is for content to suffer or people having to drop out because of time constraints, which from what I've seen seems to be a real issue. More time has been requested by a few people already also.
How about this: Submissions deadline will be from Oct. 5th up to Nov. 5th, or until entrants are done, whichever comes first. How does that sound?
The only problem with that is "what happens when one of the declared entrants decides to be lazy and hold up the contest for 6 months?" I like the idea of just adding an extra month... THen again, I've been busy enough with MY quest that I haven't even started on my 5th quest entry, yet.
Yeah, that`s what I meant. Suppose that all declared entrants have finished their entry by October 17th and we close the contest, but then somebody comes along and says `But I haven`t finished yet!`. If they had told us they intended to compete, then we would have waited. But they`re dropping in out of the blue and stopping the contest for want of thirty seconds to post ``I am going to compete.``
In other other words, anyone intending to enter has to tell us by Oct 4th. After that we will expect all declared participants to supply a quest or a resignation for the contest by or before Nov 5th.
Sorry about bad format, on a mobile device.
Let this just be my declaration, then, that I intend to enter the contest.
Oh... yeah... no I just misread it, you wrote it fine.
