I'm not entering this one. I'm not good at rushed House Decorating and no one would want to see my house/tent.

I'll join, why not?
We should make this a tent decoration contest, no matter when you get the game it will make it a real challenge to decorate the tent >
That would be fun but it might get a bit boring when everyone has to enter with the same default floor and wall pattern

I actually considered that, but I didn't want it to end up being people cramming things in a room. Pretty sure everything would run together, haha.

I mentioned this last night on the IRC and some of the mods agreed with me but never got to tell you or Jer, I think.
EU/AU players should be allowed more time, IMO.
Otherwise it's just giving the US players more time to get more stuff/be more creative..

This is open to everyone on the forum, no matter where.
As far as giving one place more time, I am not totally against it, however unless we just do two separate competitions, NA will always have 5 days on EU and 6 days on AUS. And if we split up competitions, that means splitting up the prizes we are offering more. When you think about it, since everything is randomized, it isn't too big a deal.
However, if you have an idea on how to make it work as a single competition, lay it on me.
Can't you just have the deadline for US submissions be five days before the EU submissions?
Maybe that's a little simplistic but I don't see the big issue with it either.
Then open the voting at the end of the last deadline (Australia in this case)
To be totally honest, I have school and work full time, as well as a fiance that I very much like to spend time with. Having 3 deadlines means that I have to check where everyone is from (and hope everyone has where they live open for public viewing) and pull them all on 3 separate days, and then post them all at once, and then set up voting. Not to mention everyone could look and see what NA has posted, and then make adjustments to top it and such. By having everything up and staying out of it until I just scan through and pick up all the pictures, it's much easier.
I'm not pulling favorites or anything, and I'm not participating. I also get nothing from hosting the contest, so just know that I have nothing to gain.
I know that the argument can be made that by having 5 extra days, NA has 5 more chances at furniture and stuff, but since it is all random I don't think it'll be a big problem. I can't tell you how many times my spotlight item has been the Christmas tree. I wouldn't fret.
Also it's a free competition and everyone has a chance to win! I don't think anyone is going to assemble the most perfect room or even all of one set in that time.

HOWEVER I will say that if this is an overwhelming problem with lots of people and a majority thinks that the way it is set up is unfair, I promise to reform the way it is done, and try and please everyone. I didn't want to edit because I made the points I wanted to make above, but it seems kinda rude? (I type with the same manner that I talk, so it's hard to convey every meaning without inflection).
BUT I will reiterate that I don't think the extra 5 days is much a hooplah at all. I mean, I can run into different dressers every day and have a room that is full of ugly dressers, 5 extra days or not.
How about just have 2 deadlines? Australia is 12 hours in front anyway, and I'm sure the people who will want to enter will try to get their entries in before the last minute.
Can we just have the deadline for North America the same and extend Europe/AU/NZ for 5 days and leave it at that?
You don't need to check where everyone is from either, if they win and they were lying about where they live, that's when you'll be able to strike them down and bump up the other winners.

Well even if you aren't, no one will really know! It's rushed so that no one really has a chance at an ideal room. It's just fun to see what people can do in a limited amount of time.
I'd just like to point out that while a lot of people are complaining people in the US get more time (thus the wanting a change in a date), not everyone in the US who may want to enter may be able to get it on day 1. I have several friends who won't be getting the game for a week after launch--thus later than Europe and Australia, so there's really no "good way" to make it work for everyone because then giving an extension to people in other regions kind of screws over people who may get the game later just because they are in the US.
Anyway, just to make sure, we do post the entries here, right? Not PM them? @-@
