I am willing to take the time to get this off the ground. I will need the following groups of players. Please take serious note of the requirements:

Players: This will require 7 players to actually play the game. The requirements will be as follows: (a) You must have completed at least 3 games on this site. I will also examine players that have resigns. If you have a resignation on your profile, it will require an earnest explanation to be accepted. The SoW cannot afford to have players quit at some point in the game. (b) you cannot have a solid record of success. This is for beginners and players that regularly feel they are "under-performers". As such, if you have a high win/draw percentage, then participating as a player may not be the role for you. I will look for players with less than a combined 20% win/draw percent.

Teaching Assistants (TA): Needed are 7 TA's. These should be highly qualified players with a record of success. TA's will volunteer to help players learn how to play one of the seven powers. If you volunteer as a TA, please submit the desired country you wish to TA for as well as 2 alternate countries (3 total, in order of preference). To be a TA, it is preferred to have players in the top 200 GR for the current month's rating. I prefer for TA's to have at least a 35% win/draw percentage, although 40% is preferred.

Professors: 2 professors are needed to comment on each season/year in the forum thread dedicated to the SoW. Professors need to have a clear record of success and should be in the top 100 GR. In terms of success, they should have at least a 50% win/draw record, although this requirement is waived for players in the top 100 GR.

Please submit your desire to participate in this thread. I will plan on being either a TA or a Professor.
