Topic: THAC 9 - When? [CLOSED]

With the Christmas season nearly upon us once again, so too is another Twenty-four Hour Animation Contest. There's normally a bit of deliberation over what the date should be, and it's normally the first weekend after New Year's, but this year it's a little more tricky.

A glance at your 2012 calendar will tell you that the weekends around that date are:

  • 17th/18th

  • 24th/25th (Christmas - no contest)

  • 31st/1st (New Year's - no contest)

  • 7th/8th

so the normal formula doesn't work here, as the first weekend after New Years is normally still just within the Christmas holidays. It is not so this year.

So the problem with the 17th/18th is that you won't be able to use all the cool new LEGO you're getting for Christmas (which is the reason we have it around Christmastime).
And the problem with the 7th/8th is that we're all back to school/work so staying up for 24 hours might not be a good idea.

So we're calling a vote. When would you like THAC 9 to be? Needless to say, the date with the most votes will almost certainly be the actual date (assuming we can get someone to run it on that date).

7th/8th. I still have exams the 17th and the 18th so that will be impossible for me. Or after that is fine for me too.

Re: THAC 9 - When? [CLOSED]

7th/8th. I'd have school the dates before and the ones after. I should get back to school a few days after that weekend.

Re: THAC 9 - When? [CLOSED]

7th/8th. On the other dates, school would be in control again. Also, I'd just like to start earlier. mini/smile

Edit: Look at my newer posts.

I'm going for the 7/8th, as I'll be coming back fro my vacation on the evening of the 7th. Please not 17/18th, as that's when I'll be on an airplane. mini/confused

7th/8th.:|

Re: THAC 9 - When? [CLOSED]

For me, the 7th and 8th would be good. I wouldn't be too dissapointed with the 17th and 18th, but it's possible I might have family stuff. Hoo boy, THAC 9's coming. I hope I can enter. I won't make the same mistakes that I made last year. mini/sweat

Re: THAC 9 - When? [CLOSED]

For me, as well, the 7th to the 8th is good, by then my area should have broadband, making it easier to upload and download things.

Like Chris W. said, I can't wait for THAC 9, last time I made a real balls of it, and now that I have more resources to make films I cannot wait for it.

I agree. December 17th-18th and January 7th-8th are the weekend. We should do it on either one of those dates. That way, the heavy burden of school won't be a problem.

Have you seen a big-chinned boy?

Re: THAC 9 - When? [CLOSED]

What about the 30th/31st? I'm pretty sure most of us have winter holiday on those dates.

Re: THAC 9 - When? [CLOSED]

17th, and 18th is the only good day for me mini/blankexpression. Plus with school and everything I haven't brickfilmed since late September? I really so plan for THAC quite possibly being the last time I animate before Summer break mini/eek.

Re: THAC 9 - When? [CLOSED]

it would be kinda cool to have it on 31-01 (offcourse it's not an option) but everyone would be like "I HAVE BEEN ANIMATING SINCE LAST YEAR!) right after THAC.

Re: THAC 9 - When? [CLOSED]

Please December :c, Otherwise I'm pretty sure it's school-days for me.

Ohhh! I slapped my leg but it's actually my balls!- Hal.

Re: THAC 9 - When? [CLOSED]

It wouldn't be bad before the 17th.

Re: THAC 9 - When? [CLOSED]

Whoever voted for before the 17th should really change their vote (to the 17th-18th mini/bigsmile)

Re: THAC 9 - When? [CLOSED]

I went for the 17th/18th, being as I think that may be the day after I get off for Christmas, like last year. Anytime after and I may be back at school, 7th/8th may be okay but I'm not sure on dates for my Christmas holidays yet.

Re: THAC 9 - When? [CLOSED]

Maybe the 27th/28th? I don't know, we should have it after Christmas, but before the new year.

Re: THAC 9 - When? [CLOSED]

Anytime before the 20th would be great for me.

I'll be back animating soon! Exams and computer faults are keeping me away </3

Re: THAC 9 - When? [CLOSED]

Another reason the 7th/8th is a good idea is because of Christmas, most of us will (most likely) get some Legos, which Hazzat mentioned on the first post. Therefor, we have more Legos to use in our films. So yeah, though if December 17th/18th are top-voted, that's fine, too, because it's a weekend. Though I would prefer the 7th/8th over the 17th/18th.
