Since it is first come, first hit, and not everyone knows, I'll keep it the same as last week and allow people to start firing at 11:45.

Real life just doesn't understand!

Ninja, I would just answer the door and tell them they are on their own because you are playing an intense game of Battleship. Wait for the confused look on their face, close the door and come back to the computer. Problem solved ;)

NBRC Book Ninja | 1025 comments Alas, Rebecca NJ, it is a friend who volunteered to come over to help me with a project. I don't think it would go over well if I did that. As much as I'd love to leave it to them. They have the day off today and I'm afraid to reschedule, as it needs to get DONE and off My-List-of-Things-To-Do.

NBRC Book Ninja | 1025 comments One last thing: International members, don't be confused by the hour earlier this week; we did the Spring Forward time change here in the states last week.

Refer to the international clock link in Post #3.

You have I-9 on your summary list, Logan, and your card.

Okay, so message 77 is correct - I-6 is not a repeat, and is in fact a miss by Team P.

I'm just going to go crawl under a rock now. :P

Team Q - At E6 or H6? I thought E6 was only the backup space if someone else targeted H6 first.

miss on H6 (Team Y)

TBE, E6 is USS Zenith's back-up plan for "firing on" your team. Their first choice is H6, which is still a 'hit,' but a different genre.
