Mentee Full Press Anonymous Game- 48 hour turns

#1 Post by dargorygel » Mon Jun 17, 2019 12:41 pm

Sign up here for a Mentor Program Full Press (anonymous) 48 hour game. (other restrictions to be considered.)
Mentees only need to be listed here.
All playing, be aware that all players will be receiving advice, criticism, mockeries, encouragements, suggestions, comments, predictions, explanations, but no pizza from their assigned Mentors.

I'll set up the game when we get seven players here. (I plan to postpone setting up the game to ensure requests for restrictions.)

No pizza? Geez, I don't know, I was interested but that might be the dealbreaker.

(But yes, this sounds great, I'd love to play!)

I've had a couple of interest-PM's... I recommend signing up. I also request that Mentors' identity not be mentioned.

It's not about them.

And the Pizza CAN be mentee to Mentor... :-)

I just want to say good luck, mentors are great people. The program was how I stopped being a political puppet.

But I'll claim my slot now.

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

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

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

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

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 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.

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

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.

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.

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!
