Scotguy Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 I have managed to get Open Office installed and working on my laptop so i will still be able to enter. Off to South Africa tomorrow and will not be back until next week so my entry may be delayed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord David Posted February 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 That's great. The contest has been extended to the end of March anyways. So there's plenty of time to make a bid book. In other news, Darwin 2026 has unveiled their bid motto: Evolving the Games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plusbrilliantsexploits Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 In other news, Auckland is throwing its hat into the ring! Details will be announced in due course. However, the Exploratory Committee for Auckland 2026 is proud to announce the motto of its candidacy: Auckland - It's the dream! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord David Posted February 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 ^^ Well technically, the deadline for submitting an intention to bid is over, but I will allow this, due to the possible low turnout. The contest ends at the end of March. Seeing and if Calgrary and Halifax both submit bids by the deadline, we will see a domestic bid race vote off. Thanks and get those logos coming in (for those yet to submit theirs). So we got: Darwin, Australia - me Durban, South Africa - George_DHalifax, Canada - cormiermax Calgary, Canada - olympicsfan97 Singapore, Singapore - DamCNassau, Bahamas - deawebo Auckland, New Zealand - plusbrilliantsexploits Wellington, New Zealand - Scotguy and unofficially: Las Vegas,United States of America - thatsnotmypuppy We also need someone who wants to write up the official report and give out scores when the time comes. Feel free to nominate yourself/selves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plusbrilliantsexploits Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 Hi David, Could you post a summary of the deadlines and requirements for the contest? I'm somewhat confused as to when I'm supposed to submit the bid book and what actually needs to be in it. Also, what are the rules for the domestic run-off? Thanks in advance!

Lord David Posted February 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Go back a few pages, it's there. Just produce something similar to the old Olympic Applicant bid books, answering those questions (replacing as necessary where it mentions the Olympics, with Commonwealth Games). The rules for the the domestic run off are simple. Both parties need to submit on time, if one fails, there will be no run off. Then if both do submit, we'll see a separate vote for those 2 only.

Lord David Posted March 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 You have until the end of the month to get those bid books done. Good luck and hopefully we can get them done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord David Posted March 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 To be perfectly honest, I haven't been doing much. There's the Easter break coming up, I'll leave it until 1 week after Easter. Deadline will now be either 6 or 7 of April. Hope we can make it and not have it fall apart again!

Lord David Posted March 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 I'd say I'm about 60% done with my bid book, the deadline is the end of Monday AEST, with a possible extension if we will get more submissions that way.

Scotguy Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 I too would appreciate a Sunday 7th Deadline as i am 90% finished and will be completely finished by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord David Posted April 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 By all means. I might use this extension to add more visual and maps to my bid book. The general information will remain unchanged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord David Posted April 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 Get your entries in! I haven't updated mine, but might fix a few stuff later (I've noticed the maps don't have a North arrow for example, and perhaps the cover page). Might upload it to deviantart too for easier viewing.

Lord David Posted April 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2013 Well to be fair I did use a template, perhaps in a future competition I will upload such templates so it's easier for everyone. I would have liked to have produced maps for the Marrara, Hidden Valley, University and Downtown, but was constraint for time, so I simply fixed my existing maps.

Lord David Posted April 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2013 That's 2 in so far! Not longer to go, get your bid books in! Get something in! Oooh. Noticed a typo on mine, can anyone else spot it? I might change it later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
