Well, since the old thread was over 500 comments, I figured someone better make a new one! I just hope no-one beats me to it >_>

Same rules as last time, make sure you post all starting times without the hour (eg, :30, :45) so that you don't confuse anyone in a different time zone :)

If anyone's out there right now just waiting to have someone challenge them, I'd be ready to go at the :50 :D
Come join us in some wacky warring!

Seems like people was startled by the number of ten minutes word war boards that was started?
Anyways, taking the first I saw.
Because of the lag at this time of the day, I'll give an extra couple of minutes warning.

Anyone up for :25?
