Extending the deadline is unfair against the people/groups who have entered in time.
Similar discussion at Demo of the Year Competition 2013 :) |

Well... I can only speak for me, and I don't have a problem with extending the deadline.
My part was ready in time and I finished it as planned, so I wouldn't change a thing.
On the other hand: To calm those that have already entered, allow them to update their entry, if they wish to do so.
Since this is my first demo (part) to be released (one way or another ;-), I would appreciate the competition not to end in disappointment and drama... :-( |

I dislike the idea of waiting till a big event occur and then release the parts but even while disliking the idea I've made a part for the compo. |

So, what will happen now? Will there be a voting round and later release of the demo with the four parts that were entered? Or is the project shut down due to too few entries?
If the project is dead and there will be no DOTY14-demo at all, I request that my part is not released, since I can use it for some other compo in that case. |

sad to see that theres too less entries to keep the DOTY alive.
on the other hand i didnt create anything myself due to lack of time. so...
i still think (as i said before, and as we did it with doty 13) that it is the better solution to release the single parts before the deadline at csdb.
as that may attract more ppl to compete, and brings back attention to the compo from time to time.
the "send the part to the organizers and let a jury vote" does obviously not work, even it may be the "better" solution and also would be more close to the tradition of the old doty in the 80s.
i believe that those compos organized ~2 years ago by didi (3-col logo compo and so on) wouldnt have 20% of the entries, if they wouldnt have been released at csdb before the deadline.
sad but true.
i feel sorry for slator and the others, who put alot of effort into this |

the fact that everyone had released their stuff at X already and the timing of that compo was more than unfortunate cant possibly be a reason? seriously, what did you expect? |

my vote goes to what mighty THCM said. |
