So far I've had a decent response from people wanting to enter the competition, so to help keep track of who's doing what I'm posting a list that will be updated as new members sign up. If you're on the list, make sure to post your freshly shaved mug in the official competition thread on Friday, November 7. I'll post a link to the thread once it's up. If you haven't signed up already and want to participate, make sure to send me a private message before November 7.
in your last blog you asked me to just take another picture on Friday.
I could do that, but I'm not going to shave again. I'm getting married in December, and I promised my fiance that I would shave my November Beard off on December 1. So I started November 1, I'm ending(sadly) on December 1.
That's why I'm not in the contest anymore, since the dates moved back.
But I'm all for growing a sweet beard in honor of Juggernauts troubles. Moral support ftw!
@MYL0R
That's cool, I'm not a dick; just curious. Congrats on the marriage thing too.
I thought it might be a good idea to push the date back so I could have everything ready to go, but it seems to have caused more trouble than good. But if you want, you can still post a before/after photo in the finalists thread, as you're an honorable mention.
I will do that. I'm all up for some friendly competition.
I'm glad you are keeping this going. I was actually about to write a blog about how we should all grow beards to memoralize the loss of our contest, but you beat me to it.
@carl
Honestly, I do think it would be nice. I was ready to go with the original until I found out it was cancelled a day late. people just miss the initial c-blog sometimes, so they might not know about this one
Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?
Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!
ABOUT CARLCASTELLO I mostly enjoy playing older games on systems like the Sega Saturn and N64. However, recently I finally purchased a shiny 60GB, fully backwards compatible PlayStation 3, and haven't look back. Unless I want to fire up my Saturn. I'll always be a Saturn fanboy. I love sexy black consoles.
I am currently in possession of a PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2, Sega Saturn, and both a Nintendo DS/GBA.

You need a picture of a freshly shaven mug? CAN DO!
I will do that. I'm all up for some friendly competition.

@BLINDSIDEDORK
I'm expecting some real funny business from you come Friday.
@MYL0R
I sensed an opportunity to get a little street cred and scooped it up.
As a previous entrant in the original contest, do you think I should be PM-ing the others to tell them about this?
I totally have a hidden blog written not more than 10 minutes after yours about a beard off contest as well. Good to know the spirit lives on

I'll see if I can find a way to take a picture of my mug. Right now I just got a crappy cellphone camera.
@PROJECTEXODUS
I'm adding a response to that on the FAQ on the original post.
I might do this. I can't grow a great beard; I just look like a drifter or some kind of vagrant...but it still sounds fun.
HEY I was supposed to be on the honorable mentions list :P
@NINTENDOLL
HAHA, I forgot!
