Hi,
I have been really really busy so havent had time to write up a proper announcement, sorry. GID 14 is this weekend (16th/17th July) and the theme is Ghosts. I'm sure you all know the drill by now, but if you dont then have a look at www.gameinaday.com, there's info there.
Also, please dont forget to send me your entries when you've finished. Most of you are getting really good at remembering to send entries now but there's still a few that forget. If you dont send an entry, it doesnt go on the site.
It would also be a good idea to check the entries page on the GID site and make sure your previous entries are on there. If there are any missing, please send them using the normal entry procedure but make sure you let me know which GID the entry is for. The site will be updated some time next week, after which it won't be updated again until after the next GID.
As nasty as it sounds, if your entry isn't on the site, it's like you never took part. The entries page is the only reference to past entries, so the longer you leave it the less likely people are to remember your participation.
If you are going to GID early or late, please let me know by email or on IRC beforehand. It helps me organise when I update the GID site if I know roughly when to expect entries. Of course, it doesnt always work out, as Jay Barnson can tell you, but it helps :)
See you on IRC for the GID,
Tom.
