Third Contest!

OK, you've probably read the announcement already, so for those who overlooked it: Read it http://www.pontifex2.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

@ChronicLogic:
I think the next contest should be a bit different (special rules/prizes or something)...

On a side note, now that it starts so soon, it occured to me that I could lose my shiny new title before I even get used to it ;) So, like I suggested, pleeeeeze let me keep it for all my Eternal Life :biggrin: and let Calis have his for all eternity, too.... Man this is so funny.... Eternal Maximissimuses :o

[Gray]

Hmm... Now I'm starting to get unhappy again...

Wow, hardly time to draw breath! :o

At the risk of seeming a little ungrateful (I'm not, really!), it does seem a little unfair on Gray et al to have so short a reign (assuming different results next time around).

Personally I think one contest a month would be about right...this would also allow them to start on the same day each month, so even people who don't regularly check in here would know when the next one was due.

On the other hand, at least this gives me a quick shot to regain some kind of title! :biggrin:

[Calastigro]

aren't we all?     ...... well, we should be......

[Argonut]

hmmm, this seems to be a tricky one. I have a very expensive bridge that works with no broken links, and a cheaper one that also works except that it breaks 60 links while settling... I wish there was some facility for allowing a bridge to settle without breaking!

[chroniclogic]

The next contest will address the issue allowing bridges to be built for cheaper when the train runs through the water.  If everyone is not ready for a contest yet we can wait a bit before we run it.  Our web page is going to get an upgrade as well as our web host, so we are pretty busy, I just thought we would throw another contest at everyone to keep you guys happy :)  I will see how all the web stuff goes and plan the next contest around it.

[clp-voodoo]

Please don't delay it just on my account - what does everyone else think??

[chroniclogic]

Dont worry, you will all be very happy soon.

NO SPEAKA THE ENGLISH... YOU CALL BACK LATER, OKAY?

[mendel]

Hey - I wouldn't mind a contest every two weeks :-)
Once a month on a regular schedule seems like a good compromise, though.

HOW soon?

[Juhis]

Once a month is ok, that's not too often and on the other hand not too seldom.

Downloaded the 3rd contest level.
Not really happy yet http://www.pontifex2.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>. The level is different (I think that's good), but the rules are the same as for contest No. 2 (except that now we have more time for the building)... Even the prizes are the same (ran out of funny ideas, CL? ;) )

Happiness = Hall of Fame + more website updates...

The web host change seems to take some time ('several months' would be no exaggeration IMO). Looks like CL has run into difficulties there or... who knows?
