Wait what? So is Water II going to count for week one? Because I don't have anything in this one and I don't have any time to do anything for it tonight.

yes BUT the original plan was that the contest starts AFTER WATER II, none of my team are online now and I cannot tell them about this sudden change. Seems short notice to make such a dramatic change in the plan..

I just PM and Emailed all my team members but whats scary, none of them are on line!!!! I hope they have an entry for this week.

I don't have a water II entry (going to make a last minute entry) but I do have an entry in the "Open: Abstract Macro" challenge.

Why don't we just start with the member challenge announced tonight and the open challenges announced on Tuesday night? That will make all of this easier.

I thought we would start this week. If we start next week we get a week to warm up and check the opposition

So I assume the tally day of getting all scores and the over-all average of the team will be Wednesday after the rollover.

So does it start this week ??

I thought water counted early but didn't it change when they were getting the 11th and 12th teams together ?

Nice sentiment but the "water" challenge isn't part of the competition, which officially begins with Sunday night's yet-to-be announced Members' Challenge.

Sorry bear but I thought you were the one who said water wasn't in.

OK here is how we will determine.

I'm guessing each team has a leader or spokesperson.
I need the leader of each team to PM me within 30 minutes. The majority will rule.

Vote 1 or 2

1. We start tonight with the Member 'Water II' Challenge
or
2. We Start with tonight Members challenge that will be announced at midnight. Giving everyone a week to prepare a good shot.

Start PMing me!

I assumed water counted at first, but then kiwi told the whole of Team SMITE that water didn't count! That smells like cheating to me :P I voted that the new challenge announced tonight should be the first.

I was SURE Water II didn't count. This team idea didn't start until halfway through the entry period, and some teams weren't complete until yesterday. It's only fair to have the full week to enter.

I believe I'm the only member online from our team.

I'd be very happy with tonight and option 1 but to be fair to the other teams who seem to be at a disadvantage I'll vote option 2.

cheers,
bazz.

2. We Start with tonight Members challenge that will be announced at midnight. Giving everyone a week to prepare a good shot.
Edit: Guess I'm not the only one online, but she agrees with this.

Team Nikon wants to start with the challenge announced tonight!

I'm speaking for myself and Marac - but that's enough.

I understood that the challenge starts after the rollover tonight...so any of the open challenges don't count. The yet to be announced challenge tonight counts and the open challenges to be announced on Tuesday counts.
That's the way I understood it...that's the way I am prepared to do it...it's way too late to start trying to photograph things for the open challenges now and also not fair to the teams. We shouldn't have had time to prepare. We should all be on equal ground.

Same here. Thought that was the plan all along.
