Does the 2,000 penalty for late submission kick in on Sunday morning?

I know of at least two more lists that should be in now.

Changed by the list checker on this forum over a month ago.

So not really official then IMO.

[marshalney2000]

As you know Nik, regardless of when you make the closing date some people will be late which puts pressure on the checker. As soon as the closing date for lists has passed then the world and his friend are looking for runners and riders. I am sure Hunter thought the 21st was very late to check that many lists especially as he has a job, family and other commitments.

But are the doubles the same, or subtly different?

[marshalney2000]

One was a double whisky and the other a double brandy.

You don't have to tell me about that    Believe me, the 40-ish lists for this are a piece of piss compared to some I've done

Not saying bringing the date forward wasn't a good idea - IMO about 2 weeks before a comp is a good date - its just that not having it on the actual comp web page and just the list checker putting a post up on a forum thread (and one where it could easily get lost) is not really official. Not to mention the existing open comp this weekend gone. A bit more rigour in the approach would have been useful.

Greetings basho go-ers.

I meant to say last time around that we are at 28 lists received from a whopping 17 books.  That's an awesome spread in army types and a date range of over 3000 years!

Howzat!

Sorry Nik, I'll try to nail it down better next time if the MEG Gods allow me back!   Anyways it's all shaping up nicely and we'll be there very soon with runners and riders to fan the trash talk flames!  It's gonna be a belter!
