Re: TV3: The Sixth Announcement

We're past time for normal DZ activity. Exit posts only now! Two days, six hours, and nine minutes to get clear, and for non-extended deaths (which is... none of them, as of the end of this post).
Obviously not all deaths get done in the extension period, and (as the rules themselves note) we don't really come down on that as long as an honest effort is clearly being made to get things taken care of in a more-or-less timely fashion. This is mostly a principle thing, where we ask everyone to plan around getting stuff done by a week after deadline accounting for any complications (again, barring specific situations like this case), just to draw a line somewhere.
To be clear, this is not to rag on you at all, but rather to contextualize for the board our decision to grant an unusual extension.
Granted!

Asking for an extra week, due to the need to resolve outstanding obligations and the difficulty for some involved to match with the pace that meeting the deadlines this would now require.
We're granting this due to your prior notice of limited availability, but would also like to take a moment to toss a quick general reminder about death deadlines and extensions, mostly with an eye towards the future. Specifically, if there's not a really good reason (like, say, being on vacation for the entire allotted period for a death) we try to keep official extensions to a week or shorter.mostlyharmfulll wrote: ↑Sat Jul 24, 2021 8:11 pm Guess I will also need an extension. Sofia is still in a thread that she can't leave that easily, so odds are I won't even be able to start with the death during the ten days.
I would like to ask for a ten day extension.
