When does it end? An exact date was never given. Is there a specific date when it's over? January could be any time this month.

I sincerely hope that a fair chunk of you are close to completion, because this might turn out to be a debacle, despite 2.5 months I gave people to work on their entries. I hope my fears are unbased.

So...it's two more weeks, + this weekend. Time to start wrapping up and polishing your stuff.

Well, you can expect only quality from me. I've been working nonstop five minutes every week.

I think I'm doing good...

By the way, I need help to find the right words. A tower has the option to select it target based on whether it is fast, slow, has a lot of life or not, is close to the tower or not, and is close to the exit or not. So i have 8 buttons, clicking on one selects the specific target selection:
"Closest", "Farthest" (to the tower)
"Strongest", "Weakest"
"Fastest", "Slowest"
"???", "???"
I don't know any good words for whether the enemy is closest to the exit or not. The best I came up so far is "Most dangerous" or "least", but that doesn't sound too good.

Can't think of an adverb where you won't need most/least to form a superlative. Sorry.
