Better hurry, there are only 40 days left

And no matter how easy you may think your entry is going to be, it'll always take longer than anticipated.

To give an example. For the past 2 evenings I'm trying to get my airplane to lift off and fly in a fairly realistic way. That's 2 evenings! I origionally thought i could do it in just one. What was I thinking :roll:

I'd suggest to award the first 6 places with prices, as there are 6 prizes available. If you win Delphi 2005 Architect you surely won't miss the Gems book while someone who happend to score 4th place will be happy to still get a little reward for all the effort he put into the entry!

Normally I would agree but with only 10 entrants if there are 6 prizes you could come in the bottom half of the entrants and still win a prize.

I dunno... I like both ideas, if you win alot of prizes when you're in the top 3 then it makes you feel great, however if you win a bit less and you can give the prizes to more places I think more people would be happy...

Basically I don't mind either way, I have faith in the game masters!
