This sounds good, although are you still taking on Students?
jmo1121109 (3812 D)
25 Oct 12 UTC
All students, please read and post your agreement to the below rules in this thread and then we can get this game underway:

Rules for the SoW games: All players agree to only discuss the game with their TA, no other players. You may read the professors comments in the forum, but any questions you have about what they post must be directed at your TA. Students will refrain from posting on the forum about the game unless to request a pause. TA's will refrain from posting in the forum about this game unless your student asks you a question you don't know the answer too, at that point you may ask the professors. All players will get 1 pause, up to a week long. Pauses over a week will be voted upon by the other players in the game. Game phases will be 48 hours, with a bet size of 5 D. I will assign TA's to countries as soon as all of the students have joined the game.

Students, if at any point during the game you cannot get in contact with your TA for more then a day or so let me know right away and I will find a replacement TA until your regular TA comes back.

***NOTICE FOR ALL***
Discussing Gunboat games on the forum or with other players is against the rules. This is only allowed because this game is considered a teaching game and a "tournament", pre-approved by the moderators, with it's own set of rules that will be agreed to by all the players involved. The professors writing and posting about this game have specific permission too do so for THIS game only. Members of the community are normally completely forbidden from posting in the forum about ongoing gunboat games. This game is the solo exception, questions about SoW games are encouraged.

I would suggest PM'ing all of the students.

I give my expressed written consent and accept the terms of this agreement.

Fortress Door (1837 D)

25 Oct 12 UTC
In anticipation of a second game, I will say I agree to those rules.

Who would be interested in either a gunboat School of War or a regular School of War? These are teaching games for players who want to get better at either type of game. Post if you're interested in being a teacher or a student inside.

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.
