@EyalD, I think it says in the rules you can join any time till the last day.
@Judges: updated blog with first news on the competition and production on my team page at http://www.MoonlitHouse.com
The Week of awesome II! - The second annual unofficial gamedev competition!
Damn you Daylight Savings Time!!! I thought we were getting the theme now-ish, not an hour from now-ish. >.<

might want to double check the threads on the lounge =-P

Cool theme!
Can I clarify the timezone though (this will be relevant at crunch time when the competition is drawing to an end) - The OP says the timezone is EST/GMT-5 but it looks like the competition started at 4am GMT, which is an hour early. Am I right in thinking that you are observing DST (Daylight Savings Time) and the competition timezone is actually EDT(which is EST+1)/GMT-4 ?

Yeah it was started a hour earlier so it is GMT -4. OP said it was GMT -4 at first then changed it GMT -5

Yes, i forgot to take DST in to account when iset the time.
Okay, okay, okay, I guess I'll be posting updates here: http://www.gamedev.net/blog/43-working-late-past-midnight/
Ah, we have a theme! (Yes, I know that I'm late; I keep somewhat odd hours, even given the difference in time zones. :P) It's not a theme that I would have chosen for myself, I daresay, but I have some nascent ideas--we'll see whether they pan out...
Bah! I lost an hour! :) It wasn't up at 11:05ish or so, so I just played video games for an hour. No big deal. :)
