About Part 1 of the contest..

[Aldenard]

When are we going to be able to find out who won Part 1 of the contest? Will we be able to openly discuss the scripts?

[Joe Calabrese]

This Sat. Oct 1st at midnight the voting closes for task 1 and everyone can discuss the entries (and use your real names too since task 2 will have different entry numbers). I will create a task 1 only discussion thread early Sunday morning.

I will not release the results of the voting until after all 3 tasks are done and all the votes are in.

I do not want to discourage any entrant, since last place in task 1 can still win if he/she getd a lot of votes for task 2 and 3 and the same if the task 1 winner does badly in the second and third voting rounds.

Good call.
