Help
So, with Exophase out of the picture and requesting a new host for this summer's DoZ, I stepped up to the plate.
How does Friday July 14th to Saturday July 15th sound to everyone?
Suggest times as well. I've been thinking about 5pm.

<@Tixus> Anyway, I set the year to 1988 for some reason.
<@Tixus> And set the microwave to run for a minute and 28 seconds.
<@Tixus> But it failed to send me back in time, and I was disappointed.

<Insidious> that is my takeaway from this

Taking applications for judges now, by the way. I will select judges in the usual manner (i.e. rampant favoritism and pre-built opinions on who has good judgement)

Hope it goes well with this one. I'd probably just have gotten home from Canada around that date so chances are I'd be way to tired to go on for the actual DoZ, but I would like to try judging.
Phasing in and out now and then.

Y'know, I am back at Uni then, but
I get Mondays off next semester.
Hell, I'd appreciate it if you set the date back a little (maybe a couple weeks before, my holidays end july 16) but I'll do it no matter what.

Looks like so far moving it back a week or two might be a good idea. What do you guys think about July 14th and 15th. Still friday and saturday.

As long as it's a Friday-Saturday deal, any date is OK with me, the sooner the better.

You sign up with up to 2 other people in a team.
When the competition starts, at a certain date and time, you are given two topics.
You have to make a game around one of those 2 topics in 24 hours (if you sleep, you suck).
When the 24 hours is up, you submit your game. It is then judged by 3 people in relation to all the other games in the competition.
And someone wins.
You can not use any material created before the DoZ, with the exception of sound and music, in your game. No palettes or charsets created before, with the obvious exception of the default MZX ones. =p You can certainly NOT use any code, boards or worlds created before the DoZ. Doing so will result in a disqualification. If your game does not sufficiently tie to the topic, you will also be disqualified.

Tch DoZ lately have ended up being doa's amirite? I mean half the games submitted are like "lolz gaem!" and a quarter of them are "I'm sorry I couldn't finish" games. So you're bound to get into the top quarter if you even finish a decent game, and by that time you're already in the top three. So if you can make a half way decent game quickly, you'll be fine.

Okay, I'm gonna sign up!!!! But I have to discuss this with my mom because I'll be on the computer for 24 hours and she'd be all pissed.
But I'm gonna sign up tomorrow.

You could always go to one of those 24-hour computer caf?s. You wouldn't even have to prepare your own coffee!

Ummm........in America, computer cafe`s are places people go to buy coffee and other things they sell at coffee and people can browse the internet on the PCs hooked up there. I think it's the same in Australia. I guess it's a place someone would want to be.

No, I'm just finding it unlikely that a 13-year-old Pennsylvanian would be allowed to stay at a computer caf? for 24 hours regardless =(
I don't know if there are more 24-hour computer caf?s (there aren't a lot where I live, at least, but America's a big enough country) in Australia, if the general consensus in Australia is that 13 year olds get to have that kind of experience, or if I'm just deluded!
