Still time. It doesn't have to be a whole amusement park.

iam even more busy now :-/ maybe if there will be too less competitors, it could be good to extend it to next month. Just an idea. Or I can model it later, just for fun.

Due to the time of year I would consider extending the date too.
I wouldn't mind entering the MMC and SMC, however my time is limited at the moment.

Voting would start on Oct. 28, 2011. Without entries there is no winner to have the next one. James has a wip but no official entry. (Come back James!)

Unless there are official entries I'll pass the torch for the next one to someone else via a thread for volunteers. The first to post there volunteering to run the next MMC gets it.

Bitkar: Sure, entries will be accepted as normal. I think your dice meet the MMC requirements. They are pre-made but why worry about that now.

Interest and ability to participate ebbs and flows so I'm not disappointed with the lack of entries in this one. I'm concerned with continuing the line of succession of MMC's in this unusual situation. The volunteer thread I noted earlier will do that but a "sneak attack" to get the next MMC would be to enter something. Assuming you are the only entrant then you'd be the winner.

I'm making medals/badges for MMC and SMC winners, past and future, to display in their forum signatures or where ever. They might serve as a kind of prize. They will be in the Repositorium soon here vi ... =31&t=3002"
