Why...I believe we have tried something like that.....
But I suppose this is slightly different...
Maybe I should save up for the 37 ...

Yes, but this is a game to debate our fields back and forth and whatnot...

NOT to enter into flame wars. :p

Any in any case...if at first a game does not succeed...

I should play to represent students and trolls ;-)

password sent.

Can't say no to a world game. I have a BA in history, but do networking/systems administration in the Real World. I could represent either, I suppose.

password sent to the one Russian novelist I can think of who absolutely HATED Shakespeare...and thought he was a complete waste of time and utter dreck. ;)

I didn't think Shakespeare was utter dreck, just seriously overrated (and still do).

Tolstoy the author in real life did...

From Wikipedia (not a credible source, I know, but it is true):

"Tolstoy denounced Shakespeare as a bad dramatist, not a true artist at all, and declared that Shakespeare's fame was due to propaganda by German professors towards the end of the eighteenth century."

Hence the reason you find lots of Shakespeare references in Dostoyevsky and NOT Tolstoy...

I study classical languages, general philology, and mathematics. Is this sufficient?

Quite! LOL (What, pray tell, do you put all that knowledge to use doing?)

Sending the password...

I am a PhD student and TA in computer sciences. May I represent CS in this game?

All these Doctorates and higher-level degrees make my AA in English Lit. seem rather outclassed...! ;)

Sending the password...

Can I represent the aged IT nerds please?

password sent... :)

I have an Associates degree in Radio/TV Broadcasting and a Bachelor degree in Meteorology. Is there room for a TV Weatherman in this mix? If not I'll make sure the board is covered in snow!!!

password sent...are you really on TV? Where?

I am a Nuclear Engineer - but am not sure I have time for another world game...

Well, I'll send over the password, if you want it...

(CS majors, a nuclear engineer, IT folks...

And here I am hoping I'll be able to just pass MTH 115 Statistics and be done with it!) XD

Well, you had it coming, hadn't you? ;-)

4 joined...a couple more sitting on passwords...who else?

Oi! I forgot this game required 37 ! I'm down by twenty. And I doubt I'll finish any of my games by Monday... =(

I'm, sadly, an undisciplined layabout, so I can be of no help.

@SD: LOL...what do you really do?

@dubmdell:

Maybe someone can loan you 20 ?

I'm like Tim Tebow. I just win.

Seriously, as of the last few years, I have been unemployed raising my kids because my wife's job is lucrative enough to take care of the whole family and I'd barely make anything after child care expenses if I rejoined the workforce. Previous to that, I've worked in accounting, in contracts for a pharmaceutical company, in supply chain, retail management, just about everything.

I'm trained as a linguist, but I burned out of that quickly so I can't really go on and on about the glories of being a linguist. I'm partially trained as a high school history/geography/social studies teacher, so I guess I can go as that.

Loaning has been canned. It was posted on the forums today by abge

We could all throw a 5 bet live game to you...

(NOT AN ACTUAL SUGGESTION SINCE IT IS METAGAMING)

Lol thank you for the offer Sacred, that would be nice polish to my record ;)
We could play anonymous and test how well I can convince players it's really me walking all over their country and not someone else. Now I am curious, if the game were to be thrown to a player but it was anon, how the diplomacy would work. Perhaps there'd be an upset. Hm. Curious things...
