kk guys - it is now 9:29 pm pacific time. you have until 11:50 pm. pacific time. a bit over two hours. waiting for those final houses.
if anyone is trying to get their house in but having problems due to today's downtime, we need to know now. we can extend a couple of hours if needed. otherwise we will be shutting the contest at 11:59 pst
When the judges get finished - with all of the down time and the fact that this covers 4 servers - we are not rushing the judges - they will let us know when they have an answer. if it takes a couple more days we won't complain. we know they are doing a wonderful job and are waiting for the answers.
one house seems to have become unpublished during the merger. i am trying to reach the owner now. if you are on, please contact me immediately
hmm- difficult to keep cauldrons lit during the rain. lot of people down here celebrated last night because of the rain forecast. trick or treating is dead tonight
Aw, that bites...where are you all? Uwk "enjoying" higher-than-average temps here and really, really glad not to be dressed as Chewbacca... X-P
Well, at any rate, Happy Halloween, New Year's, etc.! It's almost done here in California; you folks farther east might even be asleep by now, but just remember one of the great holiday classic books; ranks right up there with A Christmas Carol for that holiday... "It's big, it's broad... It's broad, it's bright... It fills the sky of All Hallows' Night... "The strangest tree you've ever seen. The Monster Tree on Halloween. "The leaves have burned to gold and red The grass is brown, the old year dead, But hang the harvest high, Oh see! The candle constellations on the Halloween Tree "The stars they turn, the candles burn And the mouse-leaves scurry on the cold wind bourne And a mob of smiles shines down on thee From the gourds hung high on the Halloween Tree. "The smile of the Witch, and the smile of the Cat, The smile of the Beast, the smile of the Bat, The smile of the Reaper taking his fee All cut and glimmer on the Halloween Tree..." --from The Halloween Tree, Ray Bradbury, pgs. 28-30; Bantam Books, 1972 The made-for-TV-movie (1993) was cute, and has Leonard Nimoy as the ghost--heh, host, but as good as that was, the book is even better. On Amazon... Uwk who's very, very partial to dear Mr. B, and The Rise of the Pumpkins event here (AMAZING work!!), and is still strongly considering getting a Fright Manor and putting up a Halloween Tree there (we should have enough pumpkins in-game, unless some enterprising Player's Studio artist wants to try making one for next year)...now, it's just a matter of which of The Horde to do it with ;->
