Possible rule change, like your feedback

The idea is to have Let’s Play mimic The Recipe contest days. That way they both are consistent with each other, they are simply on opposite weeks?

Or perhaps both contests should start on Friday’s so that people can work on them over the weekend if needed. Give the contests a full 7 days and then start the Voting on the next Friday and the voting can run for 3 days over the weekend with the winners declared on Monday’s.

I like the idea Ben. I think having both contests mirror each other in terms of the days they run is defintely a good idea and can help alleviate any potential confusion. And it of course ticks my box of order...

 

[Ben Egbert]

So what do you think about the start day? We need Kyle to weigh in on that one.

 

[Kyle Jones]

I'm open to whatever you guys want to do.

 

[Ben Egbert]

Thanks Kyle. Let's see if we get any more responses. Maybe Alan and Jameel and Darcy who are pretty regular.

 

[AlanLichty]

I am firmly in the "Whatever" camp

 

[JimFox]

I am firmly in the "Whatever" camp

I will count that as a vote for “Yes”.

 

[Darcy Grizzle]

I am with Alan also " Whatever" you guys wish to do if it makes it easier on you

 

[Ben Egbert]

Ok, it's a done deal, I have revised the rules. I will start the next Lets play next Friday.

This helps me for trips too. I can start a Lets play on Friday and then be able to travel from Monday thru Thursday, which is a normal trip window for me.

 

[AlanLichty]

Good travel window with summer approaching - get back home before the weekend crowds escape their cells^H^H^H^Hcubicles.

 

[Kyle Jones]

So for alignment sake, what will our schedules be?

 

[Ben Egbert]

Good question, when should your next slot be? I just finished so you are next, but we missed Friday. Could start tomorrow and end Thursday for the first go then we would be in synch and start the week long run the next cycle.

 

[Kyle Jones]

I'm fine with that. So just to be clear, what would the calendar look like going forward?

 

[JimFox]

Friday (Morning)
- Contest A starts
- Contest B ends and Voting starts

Sunday evening (Mon Morn)
- Contest B the Voting ends

Monday
- Contest B declares Winner

Friday (Morning)
- Contest A ends and Voting starts
- Contest B Starts

Sunday evening (Mon Morn)
- Contest A the Voting ends

Monday
- Contest A declares Winner

It can just stay as it is. The Recipe should start, it can end this Friday. Let's Play can start this coming Friday.

Kyle can start The Recipe on Monday (Tomorrow), and for this week it runs only 4 days instead of 7.
