I have an idea. Here's hoping I have the time for it. |

I'll not have time to do anything right now, but the deadline's March 10th so I'll definitely get mine in in time! |

Only two weeks have left, and there are no entries... you better get cracking ;)! |

Uggghh... I've been meaning to do this one, but just haven't had any motivation for anything lately. I'll try to work on it next week. |

I had a sprite I was making for this competition, though unfortunately my hard drive failed this week and I lost all my progress. I don't think I'll have enough time to remake it, so good luck to the participants. |

Don't worry, if we won't get enough participants until March 10th, I'll extend the deadline. |

Post subject: | Re: Monthly Spriting Competition! - The Golden Age of Crime |
The deadline has passed and there are no entries. This is probably the first time such thing happened, and I think the future of monthly competitions is called into question . I wanted to postpone the contest, but there are some guys who want to participate and I don't want to let them down. If the community and moderators have nothing against it, I'll extend its duration for one more month for now (and, ultimately, I want to keep this thing up until we have at least three contestants.) |

Post subject: | Re: Monthly Spriting Competition! - The Golden Age of Crime |
Seeing as no one's entered I don't mind this being open another month. It's a competition (as a whole) I started so I feel I can make that call XD I still want to enter! I got into the AAO one, but I'll have to think of an idea for this one. So yeah an extra month will come in handy! |

I do want to participate, I swear! I've just been so preoccupied with real life issues lately that it keeps slipping my mind. It's not even that I haven't had the time; I just am so distracted by other stuff that I just keep forgetting. I did make an outline for the character, but haven't gotten around to filling her in. |

My Entry! (After months!) Rosemary Thyme Age - 25 Occupation - Dressmaker Poison as a weapon of choice is seen as the more discreet and feminine choice to murder, which is why Ms. Thyme had been arrested on suspicion of murdering her boss, a major name in the clothing industry, by poisoning his sewing needle as he was finalising a suit for a large gala. Just who was the one who poisoned the sewing needle? Surely not Ms. Thyme, you would hope! |

A pity she wasn't suspected of plotting to murder nine people. If she was, and someone had used the poisoned needle on her before she could kill anyone, you could say a stitch in Thyme would save nine. |

Do we need to extend the date a little longer? |

Today's the 10th... Anyone there? ... *call echoes* *camera pans out to show emptiness* |

Unless you want to be a sole victor due to W.O., I want to keep this up until we have at least three participants. So, if you don't mind, let's continue this endless Mr. Bones' Wild Ride ;). |

I'm ok with another extension. No fun if a competition has no competition |

I myself am a bit surprised at the lack of contestants,but I guess I shouldn't be since last time you only barely got three. Still,wow. Over a month since the deadline? |

Any way we could drum up some more attention for this? I feel so bad no one's entered in a month even after the extensions... |

Managed to cobble something together. Ian Charge Age - 37 Occupation - Detective A veteran detective from London, Detective Charge has been around long enough to know what to expect from a crime scene. No-nonsense and dedicated to protecting the people of London, the good detective does everything that is within his power to find the perpetrator and put them behind bars. |

YAY ANOTHER ENTRY! Nice work!! |

Post subject: | Re: Monthly Spriting Competition! - The Golden Age of Crime |
Yeeeeah! The competition is not yet dead! Nice entry, I updated the OP! And for clarification - the competition won't be automatically closed after the 3rd participant comes in. So, if you're working on something, don't be afraid you'll lose your chance the very moment the 3rd person post their sprite. |

I'm not exactly much of a sprite artist, but the topic looked cool, so I tried to throw something together. While a lot of the authors of the Golden Age of Detective Fiction were British, I find myself really enjoying the American authors from the movement (Chandler, Hammett, etc.). I dunno, something about the American culture of the time period really intrigues me. So, I decided to make an entry that tried to capture that part of the movement: A saxophone player known for his sharp wit and on-pitch playing who performs at clubs and speakeasies around New York. After a regular at one of the speakeasies is found dead with a knife in his back and a strange calling card in his hand, Jude decides to try his hand at solving the case. Little does he know just how deep it goes and how much trouble that little card will cause him... (His name is a reference to the classic jazz song Mood Indigo.) |

As I promised, I won't close the entry period automatically - but I don't want to drag this competition forever. You have three more days - the voting phase will begin on Saturday, May 6. |
