OK to commentate - looking forward to this

Confirm

BUMP!

ok we will start this game later today. another other rookies/less experienced players want to join? you can have my spot...

It's 11 pm where I am, but I'll try to check in tomorrow morning and join.

don't worry, you'll have 36 hours.

BUMP

So when's this game starting?

there's no rush, sorry darth. make sure you don't end up with less than 5 points. i'll start it in about 4-5 hours, i just want to see if anyone else is interested in joining. plus since it's the middle of the night for spyman - even if i create it now, it will be a while before he can join.

I could comment in addition if you need one, not sure I will manage 2 every turn, though...

that would be great! the more the merrier.

Bump

I'm in no rush, I'm just the kind of person who like to know when things happen.

alright, i'm starting the game now. i will post the link here shortly.

the password will be sow4

joined.

ok we're just waiting on spyman who will probably join in the next 12 hours or so.

sorry about SoW II commentary =(

spyman has joined

i'd be interested in joining the sow. not sure how much time i can dedicate to it right now, schedule is a bit hectic, but sometime in the near future i should be able to jump in and either play or comment.

Hey DJ - thank you for monitoring this thread and for guiding the SoW IV game into being ;)

I was away all weekend with very little in the way of time for dip... so i'm glad we have so many great dedicated people to the SoW idea, and I'm very happy to see so many rookies AND vets both learnging and enjoying the experience.

So - to those who have shown interest but not yet been accepted into a game, and to those who are just starting to notice SoW and would like to join - we are likely to start another one in a week or so... please continue to show your interest in this thread and to ask questions in one of the 4 games currently underway... we want active participants... and I think any of the vets in the other games will tell you that there is VERY high level of diplomacy going on in each and every game.

two tangential points:

1 - we need to figure out a way to make better use of the Blog Ghost put up for us... maybe a blog administrator to help move comments there so that even if we lost threads, we dont lose the great comments.

2- I think dj and I could use some more administrative help... obviously we all have RL thigns that come up and we cant devote all our time to this SoW idea... so it would be wonderful if we had a few more administrators willing to step up and help us in launching new games, keeping threads alive and going, and responding to various needs of the School.

as always - ideas are most appreciated and welcome..

ps. uclabb... welcome to phpdip buddy ;P great to see you here....

@laurenceofarabia - would love to play with you again... and I do hope you get a chance to join the next SoW game... but I think i'm a bit gamed out right now and need to wait for 3-4 of my current games to wind down...

Have tried to get into an SoW game in the past, have unfortunately been out of luck. My email is [email protected]
