I vote no for winnability of the entry.
There'll be another comp..... I think I submitted the first version with about 15mins to spare, the revised on about 20mins after deadline. Had to count squares, eat, have a coffee, feed the cat, that kind of stuff before the lever thing twigged. It kind of falls apart in the editing deparment, clarity, and weird spruiking/word-of-god effort on the edit :) .
But for the next comp, can we do u/l's to this thread? It will allow others to see your entry, but it is mighty convenient for me. Plus, others seeing a particular entry isn't such a bad thing. Whilst we are trying to win a prize, you're trying to get good strategy articles. If someone doesn't mind having their's seen, it might either raise the bar a little (or give a sense of superiority depending) or let people un-forget a few things.
It'd be user's choice, email or in-thread. I don't really mind if others read my initial submission, it'll be edited anyway alongside and into the others I assumed. And the point is, then anyone can read it. The best strategy article covers all points, not just one users views.
So are in-thread U/L'ed entries OK for the next comp?
