Really? silly? Is this a joke? I think it should be of utmost importance for the dev team to be specific if they want to be taken seriously going forward with their business. This is a company no? That intends to make money? It will help avoid any arguments and/or confusion that the team would have to deal with instead of judging all these AMAZING stations. I'd hate to have someone submit a station 1 hour too late because the dev team decided to arbitrarily close whenever they feel like it on the 12th.
"If you are working up to the last day, that is just silly" Why is this silly and posting a picture of Gene Wilder from Willy Wonka with stupid words over top of it not silly? Just saying... apologies Tom, I see you are just trying to make light of the situation but I just don't see why all this "squawking" over setting a firm deadline is considered silly.... to me it's just a good idea and not that hard to do either.
"be specific about time" - you know your timezone. why the the devs need to tell you?
"this is a company no?" - that means they don't have to tell you anyhting in fact
"that intends to make money" - last i checked the game was free and Schema dev's for the love of it but i'd be happy if he did make something form all this work put in?
"it would help if....." - yes you caught on and this is derailing the thread! thanks for finally noticing why i am even saying anything. it's embarrassing for the community to see a tester getting antsy about a 12 hour discrepancy.
"if you are working up to the last day" - you probably should have started sooner
"why is this silly" - in a business environment the timezone issue in a non-issue. it does not come up and we all know what it - to imply nything else is merely condescending
"i see you are trying to make light of the situation" - indeed i am
"over a firm deadline" - we should really not be such sticklers if we like participating in contests. Giving them a hard time because you didn't receive a notice in triplicate with witnesses present accurate to the pentosecond - is NOT a big deal.

TLDR

The date the contest ends has been stated i'm sure when it happens you will all know about it, so relax.
For the record I love all you guys, but you need to chill ;D
