Note that each game that kicks off should have it's own thread.
General rules, for the unititiated
Each game has 2 experienced players, 5 not-so-experienced players. The goal is for the inexperienced to learn. To aid in that, there are two TAs/Commenters - who will both make comments in a thread on a 'yearly' basis (or more often as needed) just from reading the public press and looking at the map, *and* who can be available for advice via PM.
Note that the peanut gallery is generally also welcome to chime in if they desire, but the Commenters need to commit just as much as the players - if they don't step up, the point of the game falls apart.
I can step up and help coordinate this, but I can't commit to taking any of the roles. Or to be specific, I don't have the mental bandwidth to take on a "TA" role without also taking advantage of the position to be a snarky bastard, so I'd be the Rage TA, paired with someone who is less of an ass. While that might be amusing, that wouldn't really be educational, so I'm not going to throw my hat in unless there aren't enough bodies.
