I'm almost ready to start the IC; henceforth, I'm announcing a due date. [b]ALL APPS MUST BE COMPLETED BY NOVEMBER 4TH.[/b]

No exceptions. If your app isn't completed by then (or I've reason to reject it at that stage), then it sucks to be you. Of course, I'll see if I can spare the time tomorrow to review the apps that look to be completed already. In the meantime, you still should have plenty of time to get things done. Or, at the very least, I should hope so...
