Quotas ?

Something like a "This many american artists, then leave it open to editors with different day hours for a few days or something, then back to being open to everyone if spots are left open" kind of thing.

Well it's just that doing that turns on a certain level of exclusivity :\ Which is something I want to avoid. I mean yeah you could say there's exclusivity if I put up the thread when all the European editors are normally asleep, but there's nothing REALLY stopping them from being awake at that hour and doing it. Whereas if I set specific hour restrictions, there would be those restrictions in place, and I don't like that...

Hence why I said, it's tricky.

Thing is though, all this worrying is probably all for nothing. I can't imagine filling up 32 spots in a few hours.

Yeah, since people have to really be sure they can do it before signing up.

Btw, I totally didn't notice that lens flare on your crotch till now XD

That's not what I meant, I was just imagining opening a few spots for the different continents or something, but well, I guess Atom will handle it right.

that's even more exclusive than what I suggested
