Could this have been a random computer error? I'm assuming my second post was one of the ones you're referring to, and that was on April 29th which was three days ago. If I remember right it was about half an hour before ElFailzalot told people about the delays and resulting extension, so I was still assuming the deadline was the next day. I also wouldn't have been able to get to a computer until late that evening, so not knowing the deadline would be moved I thought I had to get it out then or miss that opportunity completely.
If there really was a random, chance problem like that we could probably ask for an extension and try to edit posts. I'd be willing to give that a shot, although the window of opportunity may have passed.
The other thing I note is that we had a week to post, and then 3-4 of those days were spent trying to agree on a plan, which turned out to be incomplete anyways. Maybe the takeaway from this should be that 6 is too many people for these conditions. We can treat that as something to consider for next time, or we can see if people would be willing to back out of the event. I'd be willing to do that, if it comes down to it. Or we could talk about trying to shift some people to less populated event threads.
