I just started a new job today, and I was in anticipation all day. This is definitely not what I needed!
AND...
All you lucky PST people get a couple of days of daylight hours, where us poor souls end up passed out asleep on our keyboards and wake up the NEXT day with just 1 to 1 and a half days to get things done, bleary sore eyes, keyboard imprints on one side of our face, stiff back and neck etc... sleeping like that is not easy you know :)...
...Everyone has the same amount of time, Not everyone will use it.
...
To which I amend, not everyone will use some of it just to sleep. :)
The advantage in the UK is that you get a good night's rest and then discover your in (or not). The folks on PaizoStandardTime have waited anxiously most of the day AND then, won't be able to sleep for anxiety (or excitement). ;)

I accept your apology... IF you agree to have the judges post vague taunting jibes about the top 32 for the next 22 hours. :3I see lots of items! ^_^
Lots of these items could be in the Top 32!

And some of them are really good!

I'm pretty sure 36 of the items at most can be in the Top 32. Or did y'all change that up too?
What part of "vague"..."taunting"..."jibes"...did you not understand, Garrett? ;)

Hmmm. According to my email account...
Edit: forgot to mention. That list will include a list of great designers.

Is there a slight, even remote, possibility of a chance that my item may have, just maybe, made it into a list of items that could possibly have a total of 32 items in it?
Well, mathematically, assuming 223 items remained, each entrance has about a 14% chance of getting in.
Good enough for me!

You have no idea how jealous I am of you right now, Neil. I could be tormenting people too. Wait, they don't know I can't see the entries.
Hmmmmm, you went with that, huh?

This actually happened today!
So I was a new hire at a data center in the Redmond, WA metropolitan area. Everything had been going well the past few weeks until I was told by my supervisor that I needed to help prep one of our largest corporate-grade servers for a massive traffic influx.
We had been running some polling program for this company for a while now and had been instructed to transfer a couple of files onto the main polling page at a specific time. All was swell until that file transfer. That was when I FU'd like no other.
Each time I tried to perform the transfer, I was given an error code that I was unfamiliar with. I figured it was something I could fix on my own and impress my boss in the process.
I was unable to export the file to any external devices or attachments. I thought that a clever solution would be to cut and paste the data and just reinsert the formatting manually thereafter.
Here was the FU: I did the cut from "Winners32" and went to paste it in the proper place, however as I typed the file name in the computer suggested "Windows32". I opened this in notepad and saw it had a lot of garbage text that I should have recognized as code. Instead, my auto-piloting brain hit ctrl+A to select all, ctrl+V to replace the gibberish with the copied text from "Winners32", and then ctrl+S to save.
The polling server immediately crashed. The company needs to reinstall the OS and try to recover their data. I am now out of a job and likely will never see another job in computer-related fields for the rest of my days.
To make an all around sucky day that much worse, this gaming company has a competition I entered and they were supposed to post who managed to make it into round 2 of their competition at noon today and they had the gall to push it back an additional 24 hours due to technical difficulties. I'm so irritated, I'd love to strangle the one responsible for this postponement, I mean, why should I be punished for something I had nothing to do with?

It took some digging, but I found a super-handy post with a lot of fantastic information on map-making in general.

I have had a pretty good track record of predicting the Top 32 over the years, and I posted my personal keep list of 24 items that are pretty likely to make it in over at our Facebook page (facebook.com/fourhorsemenofficial)

Well done Paizo for continuing to show transparency where possible about the whole process, successful or not I've learned a whole lot again this season about game and item design both from a real world 'deadline/crunch' and a 'fluff/what makes an item superstar?' perspective :)
I'm GMT +12 here in NZ and about to go to sleep, when I wake up (presuming no overnight company apocalypse as I'm on call!) the decisions will have been made and posted :s
All the best to everyone who's still in the running, and mecha thanks to those in the community who toiled over the 'items seen' spreadsheet so we know who that is!
Right then... night night!

Well, since I got fired and was never made to sign a nondisclosure agreement and will likely be banned for this, here is the first page of the file I buggered up, typed from memory.

Yes! There's my daily fix. Thanks! Just made it to work. :)
And only 6 hours(ish) until the reveal.
Yep, 9/3 at 11:59 PM PST.
I'm not sure what is worse. Getting a spell of Exploding Runes in the face or getting Rick Rolled. They both leave me feeling burned.

Thank you for sharing.
Man...I'm helping someone move in three hours...just when the announcement will come.

Can confirm that the ducks will be in a row for the announcement at noon! I've also flipped a switch that turned off the visual rewrite for the RPG Superstar URLs and all the pages *should* be loading properly for everyone.
Good Deal Chris, hope this has not beaten you up to badly, lots of folk count on you for karma (you own the I am sorry thread, thus you provide karma, its a thing) :)

But, but... those ducks are scary. (Much scarier with sound on.)

Hey.
Quacking in serious business. Before the oil-ducks moved in, Oklahoma had fewer than 10 earthquakes each year. Now that quacking has run rampant, we have more than any other state in the US, nearly to the tune of 14 per day.
Ban quacking. Our land can't handle it much longer.
