One more question: when will the submissions thread go up?

Last full day, folks!  Time to make the hard choices necessary to wrap it up and have something to deliver.  In the words of the immortal Tim Gunn, "Make it work!"

46 games now, as I'm heading to bed.  I figure there'll probably be a few more squeaking in before I get up tomorrow.  I counted about 45 unique games being worked on in the forum, so that's a pretty badass completion percentage, just eyeballing it.  Sure, some folks were probably working on games without telling anyone, but still.

Great job, folks!  Can't wait to dig into these. 

The reviewing instructions and thread are done, but I need to update it with all the games before launching it tomorrow evening. See you then!

Okay, 64 games and counting! Great work.

I just went through and poked a few folks who seem to have a complete game but haven't submitted them yet.

Let me know if you have problems submitting!  I'm trying to resolve a few issues with Wordpress right now.

Just finished logging the past few games, giving us a total of 66.  Chris Engel still hasn't submitted, but if he and anyone else submits late, we can always find volunteer folks to review them, even if they're not eligible to win.

Gonna post the reviewing guidelines (http://gamechef.wordpress.com/2011-reviewing/) now, but it'll take me a bit still to finish setting up the page.  Don't post reviews until I make places for you to post them!  You can see that the early submitters have already started reviewing.

Okay, review page is live.  Have at it!

Only missing 18 recommendations, out of 66, with one more day to go!  I don't have recs from the following folks:

7. Jarad Fennell
20. Matthew Tyler-Jones
21. Ed Murphy
24. Brian Paul & Danielle Rosvally
26. Mark Truman
30. Damián Fraustro
34. Angela Craft
36. Dev Purkayastha
42. Nat Barmore
43. Filippo Porcelli
47. Matthew Nielsen
50. Shari Corey & Willow Palecek
54. David Berg
57. Mark Majcher
60. Michael Wenman
63. Morgan Stinson
65. Daniel Hoffmann
66. Paul Lyons

If you think you've turned in your recommendation, DON'T POST IT HERE, but private message or email me, and we'll work it out.

So, after the final day of reviewing, we still have 8 people who haven't submitted recommendations:

7. Jarad Fennell
20. Matthew Tyler-Jones
21. Ed Murphy
30. Damián Fraustro
36. Dev Purkayastha
43. Filippo Porcelli
60. Michael Wenman
65. Daniel Hoffmann

I'm going to email each of them, but if we don't hear anything soon, we're going to have to replace them with volunteers.  Quite a few of these folks have already posted at least some of their reviews, though, so I have faith that they can at least submit their recommendation today, even if they still have to write up some reviews later.

If any of you are close friends with these chefs and can personally contact them and encourage them to at least submit their recommendations, I would appreciate it.

I would be totally willing to review an extra game or two today if needed.  I understand the system you have relies on everyone recommending one or two games, but I'm happy to help out in a pinch.

I'd be happy to review another game, too. You can email me at spoiledflushgames@gmail.com.
