I was under the impression that the server used EST for most things, which would mean your time at 11:59.
Otherwise, true_shinken is in Rio, which is GMT-2 right now. Eastern is GMT -5, so that would mean you'd have to submit 3 hours early (by 8:59) to get it in by 11:59 his time.

I won't be so strict with the timing. I'll only check for builds Tuesday morning then post what I got.
Got a new entry that looks very promising today!
Yes. A good chunk of past entries have provided 3-4 "snapshots" of the build's performance at various levels. Multiples of 5 seem to be popular.
But you do have to have an ECL 20 build. You can't just say "the sweet spot is 15, so I am stopping here."* (Well, you could, but I know I would sock you with an Elegance hit.)
* Stopping at LVL 15 would be acceptable if, you had RHD + LA that totaled 5.

50ft. ladders wielded by a medium humanoid would be pretty absurd. Even Jackie sticks to ladders around 10ft. maximum.
Anyway, very eager for this contest! Hoping there'll be a sweet build that doesn't use psionics or incarnum so I can yoink it for my own purposes. Always wanted to play a drunken master!
The problem I'm having is that while Drunken Master is integral to the build and it wouldn't work without it, I don't need all of it. Everything past the first few levels feels a little shoehorned in.
I'm also not sure where to take it after level 10. Everything I need the build to do, it can already do at that point. Ho hum.

Well then consider whether you'll make more points in effectiveness than you'll lose by not taking 10 levels of the special ingredient. Ultimately it's up to you.

I'm gonna bow out of this one. I've been really busy this past week and my build just doesn't seem very original to me, plus I can't seem to write any fluff for him that's worth reading.
I'll post the bare bones of the build after T_S does the reveal. Good luck to everyone competing!
Well, I believe I have 7 submissions as of yet. I could post them, but I promised I'd wait until tomorrow morning. I have a lot of stuff to do tomorrow, so I'll actually give you guys until tomorrow evening to submit builds. Don't give up, there is still time!
Mine won't be coming. The process of moving house is really quite stressful, so I didn't get a chance to make a start on this. Wasn't the most mind blowing of builds anyhow...I just don't seem to have the same amount of imagination to pull out bizarre sources and combos as some of the others here do...mine always end up pretty plain vanilla.
Mm, doesn't much help that there's so many disputes and weirdness and just plain... plain.. with the Drunken Master. I didn't sign up for this one simply because I couldn't think of a way to make him do anything interesting and unexpected.

You know it's true.
I know it's close to the deadline, but please DON'T speculate until builds are posted. Any of those things could show up in a build and it taints the judges' perceptions to have them up in the thread.
