[quote author=Jason link=board=songcontest&thread=1112160831&start=13#0 date=1112668255] I still need songs from two of the contestants in the game. You guys know who you are. I know everyone has important things going on in their lives...which would obviously take precedence over something online. But please get your songs to me soon. Thanks!

Jason, were you supposed to make some notifications on the rules?

Jason, were you supposed to make some notifications on the rules? I was, but I was hoping to do that at the beginning of Round 4. Originally, I was going to only impose new rules to govern sending in votes. I may have to extend that to song submission too. I'm very sensitive to the fact that every week, everyone who gets their songs/votes in on time is being made to wait for two or more people to submit...and it's not fair to the people who have already submitted their songs/votes. I used to get irritated by the same thing when *I* was participating. BUT, I also totally understand that people have important things going on in their lives that keep them very busy....and they can't just interrupt that stuff to run & listen to songs. I don't want to chastise someone for not submitting on time if they've been busy with other things in their life. However, if these people truly aren't busy and they're just being slow, lazy, or whatever....I hope start having respect for their fellow participants and submit in a more timely manor.

I'm not "mad", but I'm wondering what's happenin' after one week Oh, I know... And I apologize for everyone who has gotten their songs in on time and who have been waiting. I agree that a week is too long to have to wait. I've just received another song, so I only have one other person to wait for...and I'm hoping that person will submit their song very soon.

Sorry if I sounded harsh in my last post. I didn't mean to be. Usually I'm one of the last ones to send in and vote (this time my song has been since since the last round ended) but this part of the year is fairly busy, at least for me, with finals coming along and I finally have a social life that I can enjoy to a fuller extent than before. Plus, when I am home and online, I like to browse the boards I do and do various website stuff. So this game is fairly low on my daily list of things to do.
Maybe the game can be set on a certain schedule. Like a 2-week schedule in which people have X days to send in a song, give a day for Jason to prepare the votes and then Y days to vote. After voting is done and the winner is announced, give Z days from the ending of the round to the beginning of the next. X + Y + Z should equal 14 days and Z is basically there for the purpose of making up for the late people BUT if people don't meet the deadlines of X and Y, they lose (or gain) points as a result.
