Because gunboats require less time I am considering changing the set up of this SoW. Instead of 1 game each student would play 2 games starting a week apart. The second game would have the same TA/student matchup.

They will start once I can convince enough good gunboat players that this is a good use of their time. Feel free to help out with that :)

If they want more players involved in gunboats that know how to stalemate and know that while you can't talk, you don't necessarily have to attack everyone at the same time, and understand that gunboats still take thought, it's a good use of their time...

Clicking "+1" just takes you to the top of the page.
I tried to click the +1 icon on a posting I liked, but it just jumps you to the top of the page. Presumably this is something to do with the earlier WebDip outage.

So the site was out of order for a while. A live gunboat is still to begin (although it's set a 'now'), it doesn't start, nor can anyone leave. Is there anything we can do about this situation?

Had a chance to explain American politics today
It was an interesting opportunity. It started with my coworker asking about the electoral college and evolved into a general question of how American politics works. Her reaction was mixed. I know we log on here every day and gripe about how our politics suck, but after my holistic explanation, I feel almost grateful we have politics to gripe about. Our problems really aren't that bad. (Unless Romney/ Ryan wins, jk! not really.)

Game
In commemoration of a string of high-profile bans lately, I've created a game to celebrate. I am looking forward to decreasing the number of games "infected" by a multi from 45% to about 10%, which is what mine is. If you want the password, message me. Don't play if you're a multi because the mods will be keeping close tabs on all of us I'm sure.
