Hmm, I suspect the interest is there, it's just there's a lot of competition for attention at the moment. This is fundamentally a GOOD IDEA though. :-)

Wholeheartedly agree :) just the wrong implementer.

Well, I think it is a good idea also, but also as Graham said, to much going on atm.

Maybe at another time-))

I am willing to forgo my part in any cash prize and let the contest end, if you wish. I know your busy otherwise also-))

No worries...we all here to play, ain't we????

No, not the wrong implementer. Maybe try another occasion, when people are less busy.

It would take quite a bit of time to do justice to interesting builds, which makes me hesitate at the moment.

I think scrapping it is probably a good idea. However, Minethere, I'm not particularly comfortable with ignoring your submission.

I'd be happy to give the top award to you and the world owner you submitted, and call it even. I don't intend to do another contest. I'll leave that to others.

Ok...well. This is a bit of a quandary to me. I would never say I do not need money, but on the other hand it was not my primary goal in entering, but on the other hand, I did the time....lol

On the other hand, you did say a minimum of 10 entries and March 1st deadline.

So, technically, it becomes a non-contest, don't it? and thus, no winners due to conditions beyond your control. Nobody can fault you for that and I am not sure accepting prize money when no contest was won, is right.

On the other hand, I would never say I don't need the money....sighssss

LOL. That's exactly right. You did take the time and there is no moral dilema :)

I'll update the OP to indicate the contest is cancelled, and pop the award to you and Karima.

Ohn - I think it was a fine idea and I think if anyone was going to pull it off it was you. Sorry I'm such a procrastinator. I meant to participate, but didn't get around to it. :oops:
