Where was the typhoon, are you back in Asia? I'm back in the Philippines. There was a typhoon warning, a signal 2, in our neighborhood a week ago. It didn't hit us, just a big rain for a bit, but it knocked the internet lines out. We finally got them repaired today. And this reminds me, we've got to have some rule if the internet/power goes out on me on the last day of the game before I can update the sheet. If I haven't got access to the spreadsheet due to a power outtage or internet outtage on the weekend that the game ends, we're going to extend the game for one week. This has never happened before, but it theoretically could since the power goes out with some frequency here. I have the whole weekend to get the update in, but if that's not feasible and the market opens on Monday, all the previous day's closing prices will be lost and I'm not going to manually update the whole thing. So.....if I've out of communication on the final weekend, we'll extend the game for one week and end it on the next weekend.
