That's why the hours are so early; for me to stay on IRC the whole (or most of) the time!Nupanick wrote:A two-to-four hour nanogame contest? I might come, I'll check to see if I'm doing anything saturday night.
Will you be on IRC at that time?
Maybe i could do Saturday 1 PM too... i think.
And it's 8 hours, i listed the dates when i START the contest
so 8 AM-12 AM means i can start at 8 AM, 9 AM, 10 AM, 11 AM, 12 AM.
And then you add 8 hours to it. Easy. :)
So if I start at 12 AM, it goes on to 8 PM.
Timelist for Saturday:
12 AM -> 8 PM
11 AM -> 7 PM
10 AM -> 6 PM
9 AM -> 5 PM
Also, i can do Sunday 9AM -> 5 PM, 10 AM -> 6 PM and 11 AM -> 7 PM too. You decide when.
Well, here's your time zone next to mine for saturday:

Of these times, one later in the day would probably work better for me. So, 12:00 to 20:00 preferred (if you're sure it'll only be 8 hours).
Any other time zones involved here? I'd like to match up the time zones like I did with mine and Asiekierka's here so I can see if there's an 8-hour stretch that nobody will be asleep during part of.

You crazy youngsters with your nanogames! You crack me up.
I started working on a game, on sunday, when I found out about the contest, about an hour before the deadline in some alien timezone. I'm distributing the given 24 hours liberally, but it will get done.

You guys are doing it all wrong. A 24hozzt needs a website. It needs promotion on the front page. It needs people to sign up and have their names right there on the page. Half-assing it won't work!

Also it needs regularity. A random 24hozzt will just be forgotten. If it is the Fall 24hozzt, then the winner has won the season. The winner then gets to host the Winter 24hozzt. There is a certain legitimacy to it, especially because it has been anticipated for months. An event, you know. If the topic of the 24hozzt thread is "hey maybe we should like have a 24hozzt or some shit" it just seems like some throwaway contest that nobody will care about. Making a 24hozzt game is not easy -- people need motivation.

I could host it on a monthly basis. And the winner of one 8hozzt gets to be one of the judges of the next one.
I mean something by possibly:
Let's assume:
- Users AA, BB, CC, DD, EE, FF, GG are patripicating.
- 3 judges
First we have the first cast of judges (let's call them HH, II, JJ).
Then assume EE wins. EE CAN be a judge for the next one, and then
the 3 judges decide who quits. If they can't, I help. So, let's assume II quit for the winner (EE).
Next contest (Judges: HH, EE, JJ).
Users AA-DD, FF-GG, II.
Assums DD wins, but he doesn't want to judge, so the same cast.
Next contest (HH,EE,JJ)
Users AA-DD, FF-GG, II.
AA and BB are both winners. So, there are some options:
A) They decide which one gets to judge and that person judges.
B) If 2 judges quit, both AA and BB are the next judges
C) I decide which one goes in and in place of which one.
I wonder if you know a better system, making sure i'm still hosting every one, except when i can't :P
