Boston got hit pretty hard and a bunch of people in MA are without power, but my neighborhood is all well and good and I have many watts of electrical power at my disposal. I'm not aware of any other Massholes that are Litreactor members and/or taking part in WAR.
I'm good to go. But also fine with a delay if it helps another contestant.

@Stacey - glad you are OK! Rob Hart weathered it relatively intact, too. I don't think he's coming down to play WAR with us, though.

A killshot at 2800 yards? Nearly a mile and a half. Impossible shot, except for the Aussies.

Agreed. You'd have to account for the curvature of the Earth and the friction of the air. The round might even fall apart half way through.
Not to mention from the targets point of view. The guy would have dropped and then four seconds later they would have heard the report.
Also, long time, no see! You're a ghost, it's almost like the Count making an appearance, except for you're not a troll of course. Scratch that simile. It makes no sense.
