I specifically asked grudge to act as gatekeeper: to hold off on his turn till an hour before it was due. Despite the fact that it was due very late at night he agreed to do so.
Both he and I noted the timer, noted the time the turn was due - agreed when he was going to submit. Show me where the flaw is here!

The flaw is that this is not how any of the other teams have done things and I don't think you should be allowed to request extra time for this.
I haven't "vetted" a single turn from any of my team-mates, I just advise them and let them do what they choose to do. Occasionally we look at each others turns but I don't think we've ever handed around .2h files.
They've made a couple of mistakes that I would've caught - also tried a few things that I wouldn't have thought of which worked - but I've been handling this as a team game, which means everyone does their own turn.
SO my revised position is this: I no longer have any sympathy for your supposed time constraints. You guys shouldn't have gotten the extension in the first place, b/c your violating the spirit of the game with your entire turn handling pipeline. This sort of thing is impossible to police, let us be clear that I'm not accusing you of cheating, but if this is your procedure for handling turns then you should be forced to fit it into the alotted timeframe or you should stale.
