Winner will be chosen at random after 2 hours has elapsed from the time this thread was posted.
I thought the 24 hour deadlines were bad enough in other competitions but this is just extracting the urine.
It would have been nice to think that competitions would be open to everyone, not just those lucky enough to stumble upon them during such a brief window and especially when that's the middle of the night for some international Propeller fans.
Sorry, but it's rather soured Parallax's 20th from my perspective.
There was a post in the Announcement forum·last Friday that said to be sure to be in the forums this Tuesday: http://forums.parallax.com/showthread.php?p=671166 While the short term contests may have been inconvienent for international customers, there were plenty of 24 hour contests.
Actually, from the perspective of someone who lives in the UK (7 hours ahead of PST) the timing was pretty much perfect, as I was back at home when the competitions were being run.

Please enter me in the drawing, too.
We're going to pull a winner out of a Propeller beanie now...
Congratulations!
That was fun.
