With all of these entries being complete, would any of the finalists object to me closing the round and putting up the poll earlier than the deadline? @Rumpy5897 @slimytrout @Subject16

[slimytrout]

I'd love another 24 hours -- still not sure about one of my cards.

[void_nothing]

Understandable, with six cards per person. I'll leave it to the original deadline in that case.

[void_nothing]

Kudos to the finalists for getting their entries in quickly - you all have a bit under a day and a half to revise, the deadline stands as originally posted.

[void_nothing]

That will do it! Poll going up soon.
