Got your message, but your mailbox is full. I figure it's not a particularly private message, so I'll just post my response here.
You asked what's going on with this thread, and here's the answer:
There's nothing to it really but having fun. The short version is this: I've got a bunch of documents relating to WWII B-17 bombing runs from a game that I've been playing for several years, so we're assigning chiefsplanet members to the crews and I'm randomly posting bombing runs. We'll go until someone finishes 25 missions, a la the Memphis Belle.
You have nothing to do except name your plane (since you're the pilot of the ten-person crew), watch the bombing runs, hope you survive (which will be nothing but sheer luck), and razz other people in the process.
You were assigned a pilot position because you're in the top 20 in terms of total posts. See the "Chiefsplanet B-17 Crew Assignments and Aircraft Naming" thread to learn about your crew, and see the "Some rules and background" threads to learn a little more about the simulations.
