Don’t need to know. I pay people for that

Perhaps it is just a matter of different 'terms,' but originally this game was going to be played by 'mentees,' who would, through PM receive advice, guidance, and criticism (and MAYBE encouragement) from their already-in-existence mentors.

Adding the School-of-War factor was intended to simply add Professors into the mix/process. They would provide 'lectures' posted on the forum, and discussion with non-participants (also on the forum.)

I will be writing to those who had signed up for the original game, to make sure that they still want to participate.

This is a crazy busy day for me... so if YOU believe you signed up for the mentee game, PLEASE PM me with your intention to take part here, AND the name of your mentor.

Thanks.

I am hoping this game will launch early next week.

Ssorenn is probably right, though, as anyone who has played Mafia with me can attest

 I'm interested. I've been around FOREVER, but I always struggle at press and if the people that are mentoring are experienced, I feel like I could use some help with messaging and communication.

this is funny. ,,not sure anyone can help this guy.

I am happy with this SoW arrangement. I think it'll be a big improvement.

I think darg already has mentors lined up for everyone, I'll double check with him on that though.

 Hey everyone,

I've talked to darg and the mod team about this and we are planning on changing this format slightly. The proposed change is making this an official School of War game where nothing changes with the format except there will be a forum thread where professors (myself, captainmeme, and 1 tbd) will post commentary on the game and rate moves and tactics for each country at least once a year. Players and mentors are forbidden from posting in that thread, anyone else can ask questions but may not offer commentary on the game.

We've had a LOT of success with these in the past, and a lot of good players today participated in a SoW as a student before. Does anyone have any concerns around the change? It's basically additional free input from highly ranked players in the game.
Are you going to let TA's sign up separately instead then?

That sounds cool!
If I'm lucky enough to be one of the players, I'd be interested in the additional analysis. If not, I would learn from following along and have fun doing so!

I'll compile the list of players in the morning... then y'all can indicate whether ye still be interested.

This is a pretty good upgrade, imo.

I'll work on setting this up soon... Sorry it's taken me so long

If there are more novice people that want spots ahead of me though, I'm willing to sit back.

 Is there a reason to not reveal the mentors? :p
Are you one of the mentors by any chance? :-D (Don't answer that).

I'm probably too late to the no-pizza party, but if there are any spots left I'd like one.

Don't worry Durga, Dargo and I will keep an eye on that. And the mentors themselves, you'd expect.

I'd be keen to play, but I mostly do gunboat so if it turns out there are 8 players you can bump me.

Reveal the mentors so one mentor is not a mentee for two people

Just to clarify, I am claiming a slot in this game.
