# Here's my idea for compos, right, get this.
Regular competition runs Monday - Friday morning. Then there's another more light-hearted and silly competition that runs Friday - Monday.

I'm not sure there's ever been a competition that we're all happy still exists the Tuesday after it's set. This'd be much funner.

I'm posting here for FEEDBACKS before adding robot involvement & submitting to the suggestions board.

# Sounds sound
A good compo suggestion gives my arse a kick it so sorely needs and a quicker rotation of compos would mean not having to wait too long between suggestions.

# I think a compo a week works fine
sometimes they're shit, but mostly not, and if they're shit an altcompo seems to spring up pretty quick. I'm happy with the (Status) Quo.

It'll be too complex with weekend and weekday compos

# TJ
as a long time poster I'm notable here as the only non-donater in this sub-thread; I've thought about this a lot and (being a lord of the realm) need to be 100% sure my contribution is 100% anonymous. So how can I shove B3ta a few bob completely anonymously? Postal Orders? To where?

# Don't want the wife to find out?
I'm sure you can send rob or someone a check/postal order or something.

so a cheque's out of the question

# BUT think of the noobies
They register cos they have a good(?) challenge entry but the challenge would be finished before they can post it.
Regular comp remains wed to wed, alt comp runs fri to fri
