This is the part where someone informs us that this was all a trick. The real contest is still at the end of the year.

Wait, you guys can't see the winners?

On behalf of Paizo we'd like to thank you for all assisting in our 2015 unannounced website host stress test...
(kidding of course)
Dam you Loki

Well, I guess I'll go do something else for a little while...
You just know someone at their ISP's office is saying "you know, this sort of thing normally takes time..."

That's pronounced "COS-mo".
"Come back September 8 to view this round's entries and cast your vote!"
Well. At least something updated.

Now Paizo makes us click ad banners to see the results.
For profit!
Man, I keep telling myself "I'm not that invested," but I certainly unconsciously held my breath when I took a look at the homepage.
#SOON
I did the same thing. But it might not go up until 12:20 and I can't hold my breath that long.
Who cast time stop?
Nobody.
Its just that no one realized top 32 reveal was a full round cast until the rules lawyer pointed it out...

Missed that in the rules did-ja
It also says "released 9/1/15" not 8/31/15.
They. Changed. It?
It also says "released 9/1/15" not 8/31/15.
So it does. :-/
It also says "released 9/1/15" not 8/31/15.
Oh wow. it does . Can we get someone official to comment on that? That would be really helpful. Presumably whatever caught on fire can continue to burn for the 5 seconds it'll take to disperse trhe crowd.
... This... this happened. The winners are going to be announced tomorrow. Must have been a technical error, or some kind of bug or something. Probably need to repair things. :-/
Well, not totally shocking. The window for judge comments was reeaaallllly short.

And yet entries for the next round are still due Sept. 3. Anyone still alive should probably do some practice maps if they haven't been already...

Now is when Paizo discards the popular vote and rummages through the entries for their own top 32.
Hmmm...maybe changing the dates is this round's twist?
| 3 people marked this as a favorite. |
And this is the part where all the folks that got culled get to laugh evilly. Mwahahaha
It also says "released 9/1/15" not 8/31/15.
So now if you make top 32 you get all of 2 days to turn over a map? That's not cool.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Hmm... well. I guess I'll just fidget at my desk. Heart beating like a hummingbird. Ya know, for just another 23 hours and 45 minutes... or so.
NBD.

You may reach out from beyond the item graveyard to cause undue stress to those fancy-pants authors still waiting on the news.

I mean, I'm fine with them moving the date, do what you gotta do, but did they have to wait until the exact minute that we were expecting to see the winners? I just about chewed through my fingernails here.
Ok, good -- confirmation that a date I read 20 mins ago was different....
sigh... Can we wait for judges comments, I mean... I mostly want to know the "twist" if they're going to have it... as it doesn't look like the submission date was adjusted....
So, we get to do this all again tomorrow I guess....:P
...are you kidding me? They changed the announcement? Come the frack on...
Well, not totally shocking. The window for judge comments was reeaaallllly short.
In all honesty if that's what the delay is for F**K that... seriously like the top 32 is even going to care what the judges have to say with a 2 day turn around time to make a map.
I'll be blunt, if an employer did this to me in a job interview I likely would not show up tot he 2nd interview.
...or maybe the winners already know who they are and get a days head start while the rest of us wallow in misery and confusion.
*clears throat*
To quote the popular internet meme:
This is why I have trust issues.
But in all seriousness: let's all laugh the wait away.
But more importantly; hope things at Paizo get cleared up soon. :-) I can't wait to see who made it.
I'm guessing the program didn't create a TOP 100 list; and that's what the are putting together right now, since Owen said there'd be a top 100 list.
Or you know, they could just post here and prove me wrong. I'm cool with that too.

I would welcome some communication on this from the staff.
...or maybe the winners already know who they are and get a days head start while the rest of us wallow in misery and confusion.
This.
I think last year the winners were notified in PM before the rest of us saw the results.

200+ people just checked to see if they had a PM.
I've heard from several past winners they didn't get the email until later...they found out when everyone else did.

There's always the possibility that the final date was an error?

That would be an enormously stupid reason. Give us the top 32/6 so that the winners can dedicate themselves to mapping without knowing there's a 90% chance they're wasting their time. If they get the judge comments 24 hours into the mapping process, I'm sure they won't be fainting from distress.
