Twas the night before

Twas the night before
Twas the night before computer World in Flames
When all through the land
Not a counter was stirring,
Not even a chit;
The computers were humming
By their internet connections,
In hopes Matrix would soon be there.
The wargamers were all snug in their beds,
While visions of world conquest danced in their heads;
And mamma in her kerchief and I in my cap,
Had just settled our brains for a long fall nap,
When out of the computer their arose such a clatter,
I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the computer I flew like a flash,

RE: Twas the night before
So you think you married the wrong sister?
Well let me tell you this, mister
I've always been a secret lover of wargames,
And they don't come any better than World In Flames.
You want to play? Well I'm just the same,
So don't just sit there, download the game.
But I promise you one thing, you're in for a helluva fight
Cos no one messes with Mrs Warspite.

What? Just so I know, what are you to execute me for? Appalling poems or quoting Eminem?

Okay but can you leave a gap between ready-aim and fire? About 50 years should do the trick.

Titan, one of the mods said on another thread that noon Eastern US time is realistic if there aren't any hitches. So I'd say you'll be waiting till morning.
