[Isugamedev-midworld] Comments and a meeting Monday

[Ben S. <bs...@vr...>]

Midworld team,

We are under a very serious time crunch. November 7th is the last day we 
can possible still be coding on Midworld (12 days away). At that time 
our focus absolutely must shift to testing, bug finding, bug fixing, 
writing an installer, finishing all text, printing, play testing with 
whomever, etc.

As such we are holding a meeting Monday night at 7:00pm. You must be 
there! If you can't make it let us know NOW. If you are not there and 
have not contacted us we will assume you no longer want (or are able) to 
work on Midworld and we will not assign you any tasks, therefore you 
most likely will not be listed as a primaryu developer of Midworld and 
instead a contributor in the submitted entry to the IGF.

Also following the Meeting on monday night, we will be having a work 
session which will go until we are too tired to continue to work. Again
on Tuesday night we will have a work session starting at 8pm. Please 
plan on working during both of these sessions (for at least a little 
while.) Ben and Josh have already commited to being there till 2am both 
nights.

At the meeting we will have an itemized list of remaining tasks and a 
tentative timeline for each task and its subtasks. Basically it will be 
a sign up sort of deal; you select a task and you get X number of days 
to finish it.

This message may seem harsh to you. However, the fact remains that 
several of us have put in hundreds of hours working on Midworld and we 
still have LOTS of work to do. It will take all of us working together 
to finish it. And I for one don't want to let down everyone else 
especially those that have put in a significant amount of time) just to 
fall a few weeks short of meeting our deadline. Let's not let that 
happen. Be at the meeting and work session and let's bang this thing out 
together.

Your friendly leader,
