Where are the DAT topics?

Is it just me, or did the Dueling Arena Tournament topics just dissappear? Where did they go?

The DAT was cancelled. About only five people were working on it. The rest were defaults. I know I should have just locked the topic instead of requesting deletion. That was my mistake. I am sorry if anyone lost there codes.

Oh... Shame... I was really looking forward to it..

I didn't lose my code.

I put in my Notepad. Heh heh

I didn't think this was a great idea to cancel it. It was going smoothly, the only reason why people weren't working on it were because they were busy or other personal reasons. (yes, being busy is unfortunately part of life) All they really needed were extensions, and when you're relying on particular people to finish instead of an LDC where anyone can do it, you have to allow a lot of extensions to fit with their routines, or it becomes too demanding.

MP3 has a point...

Even with the extensions more than half of the people were having defaults. They were grumpy about the short time with extensions and the timing being right after an LDC.

But I have been thinking of a new event that could probably make everybody happy. Plus the designing lengths will be long enough. I will make a topic soon and ask for opinions.

No Brawler, that's was more than enough time. I just was very unlucky with my trip and being sick and all that. However needed more time pretty much is a slow LDer.(no offence) If only you locked it, so you can also unlock it.

Being slow at level designing is no problem. If anything it's better than being quick. I'm slow, it took me the full 5 weeks (or however long it was) in the 19th LDC to make Antichesm and it was a pretty small bunch of levels, but look at the quality of them. (I tell you now i'm gonna have a real tough time trying to beat them O.o)

I make most of my levels often in less than one week. And I think the most time I needed for a level was 3 weeks. But it was my best one on another site.
I want to say that every person needs different time for the same/similar solution. And such time we have for level designing in contests is often the time we should need. There are people which can't make good levels in a shorter time. This persons shouldn't enter when they know that the time isn't enough for them (Because they are busy or really lazy) .
Deleting was maybe not the best idea.
But I think the problem was maybe because it was right after the LDC.

It can be a problem. But only when the time isn't enough for the person.
