To help with any time zone confusion, Omaha is CST.
I really think that anyone that finished in the first 2-3 days of the game going live is going to get a poster if they really are sending them out to the first 999.

It's looking good for us...I'm hoping that ALL the packages that are still out for delivery are being "Handled with Care"!!! USPS maybe sloooow, but they take care of their packages better then UPS...
Heh, I can legitimately disagree with that.
Sorry...I really hope they make things right with you. I just have had a LOT of packages damaged by UPS, but personal never had a badly damaged USPS package. I REALLY DO FEEL FOR YOU
Thanks, I appreciate it. And I hope that comment didn't seem rude or anything, I was just wallowing in self-pity. Nothing at all to do with your comment.
No not at all...If 42E doesn't take care of you hopefully someone HERE will.
Well, I sent them a heartfelt email at the flynn lives email account, so we'll see how that goes. Other than that I may just have to deal with it. I would hate to put someone out of a poster just because of some careless mailman.

How about some clever fellow create a Google spreadsheet with the names, numbers, times and dates? That'd be easier to keep track of. Might even be able to automatically adjust time zones, if someone is clever enough with the formulas and such.

Random Spec...
I'll bet that when it all shakes out, we'll find that the reason there was such a lag in activity is that it took quite a while for 999 people to complete the challenge. Yes, I mean a couple of weeks, even with all of the "relatives" and whatnot. I'm guessing that anyone who finished before November 6th will be okay.

Yeah! I completed it on Oct. 28 at about midnight! I hope I get one!

Just checked my FB wall. I posted a manual status saying that I finished the Challenging Stage V.2 at 3:37 PM EST on October 22nd (Thanks to KevinG472 for the heads up as I had forgot to put the date before lol). No poster yet, got my pins friday.
EDIT: BUt my actual finishing time is most likely around 3:30-3:35 PM EST because after I finished I went to the main Flynn Lives site to check out my badges and then to FB to check if the notifications had posted, which they hadn't. I then went back to FL to try and fix it but nothing. Then back to FB to post the status.

Which day was it that you completed it on?

Ugh, I started with the times and then something threw me off, math isn't working right now.
Here's the spreadsheet if anyone wants to use it. I guess make everything PST, it seems there's quite a few members on the west coast in comparison to anywhere else

Edit:
Also there were two 27s which I didn't understand.

I'm inclined to agree, also they must be sending out posters in increments. Shouldn't be a mystery we haven't seen a poster numbered anywhere past 300.

how do you find when you completed it? I looked at all my posts since before Oct 22, and no mention. Is there another way to find it?

Unless Flynn Lives posted automatically or you put up a manual status like I did, I don't think there is any other way to tell

2 #27s, that was my fault. It's been corrected.
I've converted all to PST, but I think I may have butchered some times by accident. It looks like some people with earlier times were getting later numbers (not by much). If you see an issue with your time, just PM me and I'll fix it. Or if you want to add your name and don't feel like posting, shoot me a PM. That way the thread will stay relatively clean.
I haven't looked at the spreadsheet, but I suppose we could keep two records if you want. I started on a spreadsheet here, then tried to copy/paste.... yeah that worked well
Will be adding Tronmook's record and that should make it current.
My spec.... I think just by completing it we'll all have a shot. I haven't seen a number over 300 yet. Heck, Chared might have a shot!!!!
