Seeing that im aware of intent that originally birthed Quick Fire Challenge, no, i would not necessarily agree with it becoming CSR v2.
Deadline matters and another reason why it might be so long
I had looked at deadlines of QFCs all the way to 49 and noticed they still do adhere to one week deadline - i feel we will all agree last 4 QFCs might be good enough representation of where its going. Im not aware of reason why host decided on longer deadline but they felt need to do so.
One of possible reasons, besides reasoning i mentioned above, might happen to be desire of host to leave some period for rules deliberation. While i find it very unlikely to be sole good justification for such a long deadline, it might go some way towards explaining it.
In that case, i would suggest to host to post deadline for rules deliberation after which challenge has locked-in rules and actual submission deadline can start
I planned to @Riley anyway, and it helps he provided perfect example of how this deliberation period should be handled in one of earlier challenges, which was established on 24th May.
Until host steps in and explains his logic behind it, we will not know for sure. IMO adjusting the deadline is change of rules and therefore should also be covered by this deliberation period
But QFC isnt just about short deadlines
Also a good point.
I find current rules for this being very short indeed, 52 was rather lengthy…ok, again going all the way to 49 does result in relatively lengthy rules from and including both 52 and 49…you may have a point there.
Havent checked reviews themselves admitedly, but im aware they are also important part of what makes this QFC.
Regarding post directly above this
I did thought of transferring this conversation in Discord, so to not clutter this thread. In case you decide to expand upon this, i will happily discuss there.
