The best bit about it is that apparently the national anthem of England is Jerusalem. I feel a stirring whenever I hear that played.

Gunboat game
In the upcoming gunboat game named "Gunboat Sat Night", 4 of the players know each other. However, we are in separate places and do not have predetermined alliances. We are only creating a public game because it is very difficult to gather 7 players.

Why do people with kids
Always talk about their kids? I've been troubled by this as many of my friends have had kids and subsequently have become very boring people. Are any other child-free adults around here experiencing the same problem?

@Yaleunc - I would imagine that it's after each turn. Otherwise what are the professors to do?
Yaleunc (11052 D(B))
29 Jul 14 UTC
Yeah that's what I figured, it just seems like the professor commentary on a given turn could influence the next turn in gunboat. Though if the TAs are doing their job it shouldn't matter I guess.
kasimax (243 D)
29 Jul 14 UTC
i think they had it each year in the last gunboat sow.
PiC (2166 D)
29 Jul 14 UTC
So TA's advice the student what to do next and the professor judges the move the make? Also do I have enough experience to be something? I wont be offended if
not.
A_Tin_Can (2234 D)
30 Jul 14 UTC
This is a great idea! I was disappointed when the last one ended in an early draw because of lack of participation.

One idea that was floated last time was to have the prof commentary lag the game by a phase or two, meaning that there wouldn't be as much direct influence on the next moves.

I'd be up for being a student again - I'm an experienced player, but I'm a pretty rubbish gunboater.
Jamiet99uk (808 D)

Hamilton Brian (811 D(B))
30 Jul 14 UTC
Yes, if I recall, the commentary lagged by a turn. Shame that the last one ended the way it did...banned player, forum commentary tailed off. As far as TAs went, goldfinger and 2WL rocked!

I'd set myself down as an alternate TA. My ranks are not high...I don't remember what my latest GR for gunboat is.
PiC (2166 D)
30 Jul 14 UTC
if you wanna learn gunboat why don't you just play a few live games until you get the hang of it. It's pretty much the same in my opinion just way less aggressive in the beginning and when someone gets to about 12 centers support hold on whoever you're currently attacking then go for the person with the 12 centers and hope that they're smart enough to do the same.

@Hamilton: Depends. I don't think rating predicts how effective you'd be as a TA. I'd rather have a lower rated but dedicated TA than a high rated but absent one.

@Chaqa - I don't actually agree, but the disagreement isn't relevant- since for some reason several players who are listed in the July list aren't in the lifetime one.
bo_sox48 (5202 DMod(G))
30 Jul 14 UTC
You're all right as a TA, HB. You know what you're doing out there.

Lifetime or July would probably work the same for these circumstances. A lot of SoW students don't have the required time for the lifetime ranking.

Best strategy for Italy?
Unfortunately for me, I seem to play Italy quite often in my games. The first supply center Italy gets is Tunis, but what do you do after that? I searched some strategies for Italy on the internet an there were many conflicting viewpoints. One person argued that making an alliance with Austria and playing subtle, patient moves until you have an opportunity to back stab France was the best. What do you think? Is this true or not?

koolaid story
When I was 10. I invited my best friend Matt over to spend the night. We wanted something to drink and luckily my mother bought 150 packs of powder koolaid. We had to of consumed about 8 gallons koolaid. We had the biggest sugar rush ever. I guess a a certain point we both past out. We woke up the next morning and my room looked like a bar after a fight. Matt and I had a headache that nobody should ever had. My mom walked in and laugh. she asked" Did you guys get koolaid drunk?"

Nuclear Diplomacy?
