If we do the 18th, only 47% do.  Personally I\u2019m still leaning towards 3 weeks myself, but it\u2019s good to know.<\/p>\n<p>So when will Ludum Dare #16 happen?  We\u2019ll get back to you.  The charts are split down the middle, so us moderators will have to debate OTHER reasons to pick one weekend over the other.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll let you know our decision in the next couple days.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Mike Kasprzak (PoV)<\/p>","time":"November 11th, 2009 8:27 pm","title":"Ludum Dare #16 Date Survey Results"}
