For the online events, we are working with 3 adjacent timezones. In writing the times of the events below, the timezones are Peoria, IL (CST) / Gainesville, FL (EST) / Fredericton, NB (AST). So an event that is listed as 5pm/6pm/7pm – 7pm/8pm/9pm would run from 5-7 pm for folks in Peoria, from 6-8 pm for folks in Gainesville, and from 7-9 pm for folks in Fredericton.
If at any point you are confused about the time of one of these events, please don’t hesitate to contact your ML.
All of these events will take place in our chatroom, which is here: http://www.crushedmuffin.com/Chat2.htm. You can also get there from the Chat & Jar page on the Tri-City website. If you have a Meebo account, the room is called NaNoWriMo War Games
*Please note, the guest author event will take place in a different room – link below with the event.

When you sign in to the room, you'll be given the chance to edit your username away from a generic guest number. (If it doesn't appear automatically, the option is on the lower left hand corner of the chat).
You can use your name or your NaNo user name, but in order to help see which region everyone is from (and to make it easier for us to tally the word wars) please include the first letter of your region and a dash in front of your name.
e.g.
F-name
G-name
or
P-name
Thanks!

In the event that the direct link to the embedded chat room (http://www.crushedmuffin.com/Chat2.htm) is not working, go to the wordpress Jar & Chat page. (http://tricitynano.wordpress.com/jar-chat-and-forum/) We are adding links to other sites that will have the exact same chat room embedded there.
We had a server failure yesterday, but the server provider tells us it is fixed. We are adding the back-up access paths just in case.

Hi guys! This is Zuri speaking on behalf of Nicole (Peoria Co-ML). So, we can't get on to Mee-bo to save our lives. Are you having the same problem? Shall we commiserate? Perhaps post all totals on this forum? We're on the honor system now unless the chatroom comes back somehow (we'll check at 12, 12:15, and 12:25 just to be sure).
Finally, someone please post a reply of any sort ("We hear you!" or even *crickets* would be nice), so's we know we're not all alone in the world over here in Peoria.
Mmmk? Awesome? Awesome.
(Avast! We're gonna kick yer booty. All two of us. :D)

Zuri, Nicole,
I can get into it... no one else is in there though, so maybe others *are* having the same problem?
Or maybe they're all lost in writing-land already =D Or both...
I have no problem posting totals here.

Right- Zuri here again. There was actually only one writer for the word war, she got 2771. So... anyone who could report that would be my personal hero and get internet cookies. Please and thank you!
