When you post the songs, I would suggest saying "songs posted on october 4th" and then when a few more come in late, you can post them lower on the same page and say "late" or specify the date. This takes about two seconds of coding, right? And then have a comprehensive vote list somewhere else that doesn't specify when songs came in. But if you want to make sure you have all the songs, you can look at the dated index. Right? If that's too much work, I'm sorry I brought it up. Just a brief suggestion.

Oh good idea, then we can chastise and generally make fun of the tardy ones... Pehaps we can send them to coventry as well, and tar and feather them. Hmm?
You utter utter oeuf you. :wink:

It would be better to send them all huge virtual hugs so as they are never late again.

As long as you have deadlines, there will be late arrivals. And people who say they will and then don't, for whatever reason. Shouldn't be bothered by that, but you shouldn't make any great exception for them either. Otherwise what's the point of having a deadline? You are 'punishing' those who manage to get their song in time ...

Also, last year there was no voting mechanism (as I remember) so it's not like it really matters, as long as everyone who does a song gets a song ...

I think you should pay $1000 to everyone who enters on time. That would take care of it. [slaps hands back and forth indicating a problem neatly solved]

Mine will definitely be done tonight. My voice is back, and I'm actually pretty psyched up to do vocals on this. The extra day gave me some time to work out a few 'bugs' in the way the lyrics/rhythm was, so the recipient will only benefit from my tardiness (heh- I just said 'tard') anyway.

Well, I just got my themesong from my not-so-secret Santa, and I love it. I will also now just send my recipient his because I'm sick of waiting for y'all to stop being such pussies.

Ha, Sven, you've been dying to use that one, I bet.

THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID

Anyway, yeah, let's get this party started. I know my song is coming in late (if at all), but let's at least hear the ones that are done!

Mine is being converted to mp3 as I type, and the link will be sent in a few minutes. Humble apologies for extreme tardiness.

-ten minutes later-

... and I'm in.

I think you should change it to B-Jama, to rhyme with Pyjama ...

/wiggling ass
