[QUOTE=Oslo Ostragoth] Yep, the clock is broke. Could someone create a new game for an hour later? I’d prefer not to adjust the game I created, in case they change something between now and then. [/QUOTE] Ok, it took a couple of tries, but I think the game ‘SDMB DST’ is at the right time. ---

The one theme I remember and thought had traction was something along the lines of “No Change”. First out of my head is “America Wants Change: Not SDMB Poker 2nd Q 2008”. Lemme see if I have the transcript… (Dang, AIM can be confusing at times re: options.) Look. I know some of you people are creative and clever. It’s time to suck it up and make a meaningful contribution. (The late **GO** used to be **so** good at thread starters.) ---

It looks like the clock kicked over, so I created “SDMB Weekly DST”, which I hope will show up at the right time. ---
