IMPORTANT INFORMATION
By claiming a posting date, you are committing to having your work complete and ready for posting by the date you have picked; this counts as your check in for the BB. If your team does not claim a date by October 29th, 19:00 UTC, we'll assume your team can reasonably post on any date, and will assign your team to a date accordingly.
We will not grant any pre-emptive extension requests at this time. Extensions will be considered only after posting dates are claimed. We strongly encourage all participants to meet their posting deadline, and only ask for an extension as a final resort. If you believe you won't be able to finish your work by next month, please communicate your concerns with your partner(s) and the mods as soon as possible.
Incomplete works, failure to meet the deadline, or a complete lack of communication on and after your posting date will result in a ban. Bans are done individually and not as a team; participants who have completed their event work will not be held responsible for the actions of their partner(s). For further details on bans, read through the Defaulting and Participation Eligibility policies.
HOW TO CLAIM YOUR DATE
30 posting dates are available from November 1 to November 30. Only one team will be posting on any given day so that all of your brilliant new Stevetony content is staggered for people to enjoy!Before picking your date preferences, please make sure you have discussed this with your partner(s). If you have multiple partners (if a work was double claimed), you are required to have all the work posted on the same date by midnight, PST, so make sure the dates you pick will work for everyone on the team. Only one member from the team should claim a date; make sure you coordinate and figure out if there are any dates that absolutely will not work for you and your teammate(s), and be prepared in case you are unable to pick your initial choices.
Date claims will be done through a Doodle poll, which only needs to be filled out once per team. Please use your Team Name when picking dates; all teams are required to select exactly 3 dates for when they will be available to post their Big Bang works. Each available date will have a maximum of three slots, meaning only three teams will be able to select it. Each team will only be scheduled for one posting date by the mods.
Your posting date will be determined by which dates you have chosen and where you are on the queue. By default, your posting date will be scheduled for the latest date you have chosen on the Doodle poll, but if you have a different preference, please make a comment on the poll itself, leave a comment on this post, or contact the mods at cap.im.events@gmail.com.
(In the image example above, Team Cap will be scheduled for November 13th and Team Iron Man will scheduled for November 14th, the latest dates they have chosen. Team Nomad will be scheduled for November 9th, their top choice. Team Extremis' request cannot be accommodated because each posting date is limited to one team, so they will be scheduled for November 11th, their top choice.)If you have any specific requests regarding your chosen dates, please let the mods know on the poll, as a comment to this post, or through email. For example, if you are participating more than once in this year's challenge, you can request to have your posting dates for both teams within the same week, as far apart as possible, etc. If there is a range of dates for which you'd be available to post beyond the three dates you have chosen, you may also let us know through the comments. Please note that we cannot guarantee to accommodate all special requests, and will address them on a first come, first served basis.
The Doodle poll will be available on October 28th at 19:00 UTC (what time is that for me?) until October 29th at 19:00 UTC. Date claims are now closed.
Remember, you must choose your dates within that 24 hour period, otherwise you will be assigned a posting date by the mods. If you or your partner(s) are unavailable during that time, you may use a proxy or contact the mods for help.
On October 30th, teams will receive an email with their scheduled date and additional information regarding their deadline. A calendar of all teams and their posting dates will be provided once all the posting dates are scheduled.
