Interested as a student, if 48hr cycles or more

I don't think I made my earlier statements clear. I was expecting to be a professor in a previous SoW that never occurred, so I offered my services here to fulfill that capacity. I saw that you have me down as a TA, however. If that is what you need, I can do that, but if you are in need of a professor, I am more than happy to do that.

I would be happy to be a professor, and I appreciate Bas' confidence in me but at the same time I don't want to take a spot away from someone who might be better at it. And especially if KingRishard would like the spot I would be happy to cede it to him and serve as a TA.

So far we have:

Students:
1. Celticfox
2. smcbride1983
3. emfries
4. Stressedlines
5. Magus
6. G1 (Did you want a spot?)
7. Randomizer

TA's:
1. basvanopheusden
2. Tom Bombadil
3. Zultar
4. Pete U
5. ghug
6. Lando Calrissian
7. KyleFC


Professors:
1. Tru Ninja
2. KingRishard
3. jmo1121109 (backup)

Then for a second game we have:

Students:

ODaly
H.H (please explain your 2 resigns)
taos (please explain your 4 resigns)
Fortress Door
stranger
Aurevir (please explain the resign)
YanksFan47 (explain the resigns)
achillies27
MarshallShore (please explain the resign)

We really need more TA's so please feel free to bug any experienced player you think would be good at mentoring a new player!

I'll throw my name in as a TA

@ CSteinhardt - I'm hoping you'll be willing to serve as a TA or professor for this second game.

@ achillies27 - I don't think you suck but I'm looking for GR's a bit over the 300 mark for TA's just to make sure all the students have mentors with a higher rating then them so I put you down as a student.

Sounds good, this month i should go up a little, but I have no problem having someone teach me to be better.

If there's room I'm down to hop in one of these schools.

ahh if this is a more appropriate place, jmo, I'd volunteer to mentor

TA, whatever.

Final Game 1 roster. All TA's please post or message me your country preference. All students please read and agree to the following:

All players will get 1 pause up too 1 week, these must be honored by other players in the game. Longer pause requests will go to student and TA vote since TA's are just as affected by a long pause as players. If any players have to leave you may either find a sitter or allow a replacement player to take your spot. If you do not hear from your TA for more then a day after sending them a message let me know immediately and I will get you a replacement TA. Phases will be 48 hours long. These rules will be enforced by the moderators just like a regular tournament. Please let me know the pot size you prefer when you post your agreement to these rules, though I was just planning on 5 . Also please let me know if you cannot start immediately. Thanks everyone.

Students:
1. Celticfox
2. smcbride1983
3. emfries
4. Stressedlines

TA's:
1. basvanopheusden
2. Tom Bombadil
3. Zultar
4. Pete U
5. ghug
6. Lando Calrissian
7. KyleFC


Professors:

2. KingRishard
3. jmo1121109 (backup)

I agree to it and the 5 bet.

So I am to understand that Zultar is my teacher, in the way the roster is up?

I am sorry, Pete U...

Country preference doesn't matter much for me for TAing. I would prefer though, to not have GER or ENG, but it wouldn't break my heart if I got either of those if need be.

No, sorry if that wasn't clear, the mentors are going to tell me what country they want to mentor, then once everybody joins the game they will contact whoever drew that country.

ahhh got it

so when will this game start?

No country preference whatsoever. Maybe turkey, haven't played turkey for a while.

Well, I'll put my hand up for Turkey then, although if someone else wants it, I'm not going to get precious. Beyond that, I have no real preference

@Stressedlines, once everyone agrees to the rules and tells me their preferred bet size I will have one person make the game with a 9 day joining period and I will ask one person to wait at least a week to join.

THIS IS NOT A GUNBOAT, RIGHT? I do not need much help in THAT, I am okay at that, it is the public games I am....lacking a lot

I agree to the rules. Any bet size 20 or under is acceptable to me.

A small bet (ie 5) is my preference. I will be able to start within a few days. Thank you so much @jmo1121109, and all of the TAs and professors!

Non-anon, classic, WTA, full press.

I would prefer France and would rather not have Italy or Turkey, but otherwise I have no preference.

Alright TA's I think this fits everyone's requests:

England - Zultar
France - ghug
Germany - KyleFC
Russia -Tom Bombadil
Italy - basvanopheusden
Turkey - Pete U
Austria - Lando Calrissian

I notice you're still finalizing the roster for Game 2... I'd like to throw in a request to be a student as well, if there's an opening. I've only played a very small number of games, against mostly new players... I'd be very interested in learning with a better player by my side. No resigns on my record to explain, and no plans to start now.

Thanks.
