You've consistently been the best SoW professor on the site, and a huge benefit to the community. Best of luck too you at your new job!

why does moving/career mean you must be gone? Well, best of luck to you!

Sorry to see you go, Tru. You will be greatly missed with your trademark Ninja posts. :-) Maybe once you get settled into the new job, you'll find some time to jump on the forums at least at lunch. See you when you inevitably return. No on can *ever* escape permanently.

Thanks for the great words! I really love the communit here and it's been a big part of my life for nearly 5 years.

@krellin: I am going to be a teacher. Well sorta. I will be what's called a Teacher Candidate, which is really a paid intern. My first year I have to document a lot of stuff, be observed, video record lessons, and get scored. I have to pass my examinations in order to receive my teaching certificate, so my first year will be very busy.

@draug: I'm sure ill be back from time to time. You're right that ill probably visit the forums every now and again.

Hope to see you around. :-)

Good fortune Tru!

Cheers Tru. We'll still be here when you come back.

To thine ownself be true...wherever you go. :)

So long (for now at least, hope you return someday!) and good luck in your new career.

Good luck Tru!

Best of luck Tru. I hope you come back to us soon

I wish you all the best, Ninja, you will clearly be missed!

Good luck with your move and the new gig, Tru. Do us proud!

I would love to eventually teach kids at the school how to play, although it has to fit into the curriculum. Mebbe a club or something.

What are you teaching? I learned how to play from my computer science / statistics teacher after the ap tests my senior year.

My AP US history teacher taught us how to play so that we would learn a little European geography... we even played after school in a "diplomacy club" until he left to take a job in China. he is still by far the most influential teacher I have ever met, a really good guy.

but to return to the current situation, good luck tru and you will be a great teacher from everything I have seen!

I will start teaching AP calculus and pre AP algebra I. Maybe after AP testing. That sounds like a good idea.

Best of luck Tru!

Best of luck, tru. At least come back and tell us how you've been.

Very best of luck in your endeavours Tru! Though with a mind like yours, and that personality to boot, I have no doubt that your success will owe very little to luck!

It's a shame to see you leave the site, Tru. I feel lucky to have gotten the chance to play a game with you while you've been here, and I've enjoyed participating in the current SoW and reading your commentary. I just started my career as well, and I can tell you it's an exciting and busy time. I'm sure you'll have no trouble at all, but best of luck and I hope you really enjoy what you're going to do!

Sorry to see you go, Tru. You were always great to play with and greatly beneficial to the community as a whole.

I know my AP Calc teacher had a copy of Diplomacy in his room (though we never played it). If your students score well, which should happen if your SOW professorship is any indication, nobody should mind if you play a bit after the test.
