Hello, all! Below are the time slots for the FINAL SuperSkirmish of 50/90 '21. Please feel free to select more than 1 time slot if you can commit to hosting them. I decided to go with an "every 4 hours" set-up as this gives us all more time to attend to real life and catch up on missed skirmishes.
A few notes:
1. The times below have already been adjusted for their proper zones, so please copy and paste them into your own thread post and subject line. Last time, there was some editorializing and it... did not go well.
2. If you copy/paste from another thread or use the provided template, PLEASE REMEMBER TO ADJUST THE SKIRMISH DATE, TIME SLOT LETTER, AND PROMPT when you begin your thread. These are represented by "x" in the below template.
3. For those who asked about hosting for the first time (or anyone who wants to make life easier), I've added a thread template below. You'll just need to adjust the information according to your date/time, prompt, and username. Feel free to ask for help if you have any questions.
Thanks, folks!

When you have finished your song or lyric, share the link in this thread.
It is part of the fun and the etiquette to listen to other participants' songs.
*Although the skirmish is set for an hour, if you are late or run over you can still join in, there are no skirmish police!!
Remember to have fun!
Thank you so much for organizing it. I can do H - SS092521H 10 pm in UK.
Thanks for all your hard work setting this up. I'll take "A" if still available.
Thanks, @tjeff and @musicsongwriter! You're up there now!
Thank you, that's awesome.
Happy to host C
I can host E and or K, just slot me in for one of them for now, but will do both if no one else volunteers.
Would love to host I (eye). Thank you for this!
Thank you, @coolparadiso and [@unprounceable]!
@dzd - I have you down for both, but made a notation on K in case anyone else would like to host that slot. Thanks for stepping up!
Hi, I can host G - SS092521G: Saturday 1pm EDT
THANK YOU for doing this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks, @AndreaB!
You're welcome, @metalfoot. Do you want to host a slot?
Ok, I made a post and then looked at the times again and realized I had completely misread it... I can host D and/or J. I will be awake at the start of those, but it's 50/50 if I'll have anything in the tank at that hour. If I'm allowed to post a prompt and not contribute (wait... I can cheat, they won't know!) then I can host both.
So hosting is just posting the prompt (which I come up with) at the specified time? Do I have to pull a permit from the city or let the skirmish police know?
Thanks, @Spazsquatch! Yes, hosting includes creating the appropriate thread with prompt and making sure the posted information (including tags, etc) are correct. I get the "tank" struggle. If you don't have the energy to write, just posting the prompt is fine.
However, there are 4 hours between skirmishes, so you can try to write something later. Even if that's not possible, it's still courtesy to at least listen/read/comment on those who did participate in your skirmish.
Other than that, feel free to flout local zoning regulations and plead the fifth when necessary.
I could take L
and i could take F
I can do M
Thanks, @kahlo and @wobbie wobbit!
@Roddy - did you mean slot K or M? I'm happy to give you M if that time works best for you.
@vivalarayna I thought M was available. M certainly the better one for me but I'll take K if that helps out. Also thanks for organising this!
@Roddy - okay, M is yours. You're very welcome and thanks for hosting!
I know @dzd is offering up one of his slots, as he was quite generous to take those "odd hour" ones that usually go unclaimed. We'll see if someone else expresses interest.
@vivalarayna Life has exploded around me. I will take part as I can but no, I can't host.
