\A\ Play the games and test them out
\A\ Leave them alone, and hope everything works
\A\ Wait until someone calls and hope that they test the games
\A\ Go to sleep
\N\ You play the games, and take up all the time on the BBS. No one can call,
and everyone loses interest in calling your BBS.
\N\ Someone calls, and decides to play the new games, but you haven't done
all the work needed, and the BBS crashes (with a loud thump), creating
another 4 hours work for you.
\Y\ A caller logs on, and asks you if the games have been tested yet.

the games work better than you think. You reward this user with an extra
30 mins.

eyeballs.....

you did, and they ring back, promising that they will never call again.
\Y\ You hear the voice, but decide that it would take too much time to
answer the phone and let them wait until you can call them back.

to yourself that you should have answered the phone.
