Good morning everyone. While I would love to stay up all night morning… whatever. This Yankee has to get to sleep to do all the important things in life… That being said I will have the starting post in Wiki Mode, feel free to keep the scoreboards updated in my absence. Cheers!
I hope it will be. But still I cannot stay up much more. Might watch the first map. But I know BenDubz, Maverick and you will likely keep the thread cookin’.
