If it makes a difference – I put the break in the list in the wrong place. 1-20 are normal one-point answers; 21-30 are two-point answers.

I’m trying to wait for the team to show up… I PM’d the only 2 that were online earlier. Now **ZipperJJ** is the only one around. Perhaps they’ll show up after lunch? Should there be a time limit?

I vote play, for the record…
