Please make sure to read the rules and declare wild card eligibility in that thread. (A slight change has been made to the rules since they were posted: as in previous SHCs, there will be no additional wild card granted if the Kids/Teens wild card doesn't reach critical mass.)
Each game thread begins with 4 points:

Please make sure to post your responses in the game thread and spoilerize your responses (add a ] after [spoiler and [/spoiler on the form; this is a change from last year due to the forum software upgrade). Please don't delete any lines from the response template (it breaks the parser).
