Udesignme, from what I know about your experience you’d actually make a very good judge; so that looks like we’ve got four now.
I’m very pleased; We have Carlos who is a god, you two who both seem to have mountains of experience in different areas and a great sense of community spirit and then there’s me - but 3 out of 4 isn’t bad

Peach - Send me an email j@jawhye.com – I’ll donate a copy (or copies) of Corona Project Manager for the winner(s).

This is pretty exciting. I’d be pretty interested in participating too (in the competition, not as a judge) [import]uid: 10835 topic_id: 5017 reply_id: 16538[/import]
If I weren’t already deep into my game I would definitely be into this. I’ve not done any short-sprint game jams since way back in college. Early February I’ll probably still be busy though. [import]uid: 12108 topic_id: 5017 reply_id: 16543[/import]
Yay, glad to be a judge. Please note, I do not accept bribes. Only beer. [import]uid: 5833 topic_id: 5017 reply_id: 16544[/import]
Glad of all the interest 
I think it’s going to be a lot of fun.
@J.A. Whyte - Thank you, I will do so in the coming days, most generous of you!
@jhocking - The date is yet to be determined, however if it is successful it would be good to have another one in the future at some point, especially if it’s good publicity for Corona. (I hope it will be, I imagine most of the entries will come from here.)
@Graham - I am creating the position of “head judge” and designating myself as the aforementioned. As such, I take a 96% cut (rounded up to the nearest 100) of all beer related bribes.
That said, my de facto mother in law has some alcohol free wine - so you can have that

Oh my god, you’ve gone crazy with power! Although naturally it’s only fun to go crazy with power, going crazy without power (or having power without the added fun of insanity) just isn’t the same.
Hmmm, alcohol-free wine. Normally I would just at the word “free” but it just doesn’t seem right in that sentence. [import]uid: 5833 topic_id: 5017 reply_id: 16546[/import]
I know you meant to say “jump”.
I’m totally crazy with power. First independent application developers, next … THE WORLD!!!
MWAHHAHAHAHA *couch* HAHAHA *panting* haaaaa. [import]uid: 10144 topic_id: 5017 reply_id: 16558[/import]
I AM SO IN! Great idea peachpellen, can’t wait for this!
(also you should come back to the IRC channel sometime, there’s actually people in it now) [import]uid: 10267 topic_id: 5017 reply_id: 16565[/import]
please someone email me about the irc channel when it is active so i can participate if time permits me.

Hey nck, I will - I reformatted in that time and still haven’t got everything back on, but will try to do that for tonight - I had intended to, be good to come back in, people or not
Just woke up (two proper nights sleep in a row!) so forgive me if there’s any typos, still feeling foggy. 
[import]uid: 10144 topic_id: 5017 reply_id: 16628[/import]
Haha, at least you managed to sleep :).
Carlos, just come idle! #corona on irc.freenode.net [import]uid: 13089 topic_id: 5017 reply_id: 16630[/import]
Ey guys, the 48-hour format seems a perfect fit for the upcoming GameJam. Can we do the contest at the same time as the Game Jam (Jan.28-30)? This way those of us participating in GameJam can participate to both [import]uid: 7026 topic_id: 5017 reply_id: 16634[/import]
I was thinking late February will likely work out better, although waiting to hear from Carlos.
The problem with attempting to coordinate them would also mean present an issue as far as content goes; I don’t know how Game Jam is running things but my plan is to have a few things that must be included in the app, only revealed at the start of the 48 hour mark.
On the bright side, if the Techority 48 Hour Challenge takes place at the end of February, for example, that’s two community type events a month apart - which I think is quite exciting. [import]uid: 10144 topic_id: 5017 reply_id: 16636[/import]
I vote end of Feb. because Biffy and I are going to the Semantic Developer’s Event in San Jose at the end of this month. [import]uid: 7849 topic_id: 5017 reply_id: 16637[/import]
My thoughts were the last weekend in the month, which would be the 26th and 27th of February.
I think that makes sense, so we may as well lock that in now.
As far as other details go, we know who the judges are and after some emails from various people, along with comments, I’ve decided that the competition will only be for Corona made games and submission will be via email at the end of the 48 hours.
They’ll only need to be emailed to me; I’ll then get them to the other judges to avoid any issues.
Regarding when the period starts and ends, being in Australia I’m unsure where to base it - is EST standard for you Americans with things like this? [import]uid: 10144 topic_id: 5017 reply_id: 16649[/import]
Late feb works for me too and regarding timezones, I basically don’t sleep so any will be fine. [import]uid: 5833 topic_id: 5017 reply_id: 16656[/import]
Late Feb is good for me too because then IndeED will be released and I have more time on my hands.
@PeachPellen: I throw in a copy of IndeEd as a prize for this or another competition after this one. Pick whatever you like. [import]uid: 5712 topic_id: 5017 reply_id: 16661[/import]
The last weekend of February isn’t good for me 
I have plans to visit my family then.
@MikeHart its great news You will have Your IndeED ready before this contest. If i can manage to participate i will for sure use IndeED for coding. [import]uid: 10507 topic_id: 5017 reply_id: 16674[/import]
