It's true that the squeaky wheel gets the oil, so if you need some attention today, speak up loudly, early, and often! The usual agitators in your group are keeping quiet. Chances are good that you will have the center stage all to yourself. It's a great day to make a play, sell an idea, or convince an opponent that you actually are the better competitor. Words are your best weapon now, because your wit is sharp and your jokes are funny.
