holly_poly | 24 hour extension

Hi guys, I'm having a lot of people emailing me saying they thought the deadline was tomorrow, and I think I may have screwed it up too in one of the posts (though it was definitely clear in the original assignments post), so I'm going to extend an across-the-board 24 hour extension, to midnight eastern time tomorrow night. Again, unless I go to bed first. But you now have 25 hours and change -- if you defaulted recently because you thought you suddenly didn't have enough time, but might be able to finish now, you can probably be reassigned, most of the recent pinch hits haven't been picked up yet (that said, if you can pinch hit, please add yourself to the list!).

Hopefully that will help.

This is why I don't like splitting up the places people can look for deadlines, I don't think that helps either. When I post here I try to make it a hard quantity, like x hours. Reveals should be Friday night, yes.

That can have its own problems, because the posts to the comm do not say which timezone they are (replies seem to show them, but not the main posts), leaving no way to calculate how long ago the "x hours to go" post was made. A link to a countdown would be less ambiguous and should eliminate the chance for math errors.
