since it's thanksgiving this weekend,
I'll get my buddies and I locked in a dark room in my basement as our virtual "sub"
we will stock up TV dinners, mountain dew. with a microwave, our computers a few magazines(one of my friends wants to bring his girlfriend, but I don't think it's a good idea).
we will be having a silent hunter contest to see who could sink the most, no time compression allowed once we are in enemy waters.
This is my first attempt to play at true 100% realism

What you're describing isn't a sim, it's a gaming session. I play it for the historic feel, not so I can 'partaaaaaayyyyy'.
Considering the fact that "enemy waters" is much f the pacific, no TC is asking for the first guy to play, and all the others watching him all night (and very likely not making any contacts.
Face it, but the time you are about as far west as, say, Wake, you are in "enemy waters."
On the surface at 10-15 knots at 1:1, it will be dawn and the action will likely consist of diving because of a plane, then hours at maybe 2 knots.
My suggestion might be no TC once contact is made.

i refuse to use the word "gaming session". this is what pretty much happened during my last gaming session:

(one of my friends wants to bring his girlfriend, but I don't think it's a good idea).:timeout:Bad idea right there. I can already tell you how that's going to go. GF gets :yawn:, then she gets :wah:, then she forces BF to ditch his friends . No sir, you are better off either a) just saying no to the GF or b) saying no to friend with GF if he insists.

Or if she's hot, shag her in another room while the BF is being a geek.

Quoted from here:

History and Origin of Canadian Thanksgiving In Canada Thanksgiving is celebrated on the second Monday in October. Unlike the American tradition of remembering Pilgrims (http://www.twilightbridge.com/hobbies/festivals/thanksgiving/canada/#)[/URL] and settling in the New World, Canadians give thanks for a successful harvest. The harvest season falls earlier in Canada compared to the United States due to the simple fact that Canada is further north.
The history of Thanksgiving in Canada goes back to an English explorer, Martin Frobisher, who had been trying to find a northern passage to the Orient. He did not succeed but he did establish a settlement in Northern America. In the year 1578, he held a formal ceremony, in what is now called Newfoundland, to give thanks for surviving the long journey. This is considered the first Canadian Thanksgiving. Other settlers arrived and continued these ceremonies. He was later knighted and had an inlet of the Atlantic Ocean in northern Canada named after him - Frobisher Bay.
At the same time, French settlers, having crossed the ocean and arrived in Canada with explorer Samuel de Champlain, also held huge feasts of thanks. They even formed 'The Order of Good Cheer' and gladly shared their food with their Indian neighbours.
After the Seven Year's War ended in 1763, the citizens of [URL="http://www.twilightbridge.com/hobbies/festivals/thanksgiving/canada/#"]Halifax (http://www.twilightbridge.com/hobbies/festivals/thanksgiving/canada/#) held a special day of Thanksgiving.
During the American Revolution, Americans who remained loyal to England moved to Canada where they brought the customs and practices of the American Thanksgiving to Canada. There are many similarities between the two Thanksgivings such as the cornucopia (http://www.twilightbridge.com/hobbies/festivals/thanksgiving/canada/#) and the pumpkin pie.
Eventually in 1879, Parliament declared November 6th a day of Thanksgiving and a national holiday. Over the years many dates were used for Thanksgiving, the most popular was the 3rd Monday in October. After World War I, both Armistice Day and Thanksgiving were celebrated on the Monday of the week in which November 11th occurred. Ten years later, in 1931, the two days became separate holidays (http://www.twilightbridge.com/hobbies/festivals/thanksgiving/canada/#) and Armistice Day was renamed Remembrance Day.
Finally, on January 31st, 1957, Parliament proclaimed...
"A Day of General Thanksgiving to Almighty God for the bountiful harvest with which Canada has been blessed ... to be observed on the 2nd Monday in October.
