Right now it looks to be over by Tuesday for the most part so just fire it up then.

The storm yes, but the last time we got hit with a major storm (Isabel), my house had no power for 9 days after the wind and rain stopped. That's what I'm concerned about. But like I said, I'll keep everyone posted.

I hope everyone where you are is safe and rides out this storm okay.

So it turns out the latest news is that it's hitting abge and I instead...

The secret volcano lair in trouble? Say it ain't so!

Definitely safe wishes for everyone in its path.

Any questions, comments, concerns, compliments?

Get travel/blackout plans to me ASAP if you have them.

Looking forward to it :), it's been a while since I played with Italy. Bas, dutch by anychance? You're name suggest it, I myself am from belgium.

Just as a quick point, may I suggest all students and TA's message one another and figure out potential time zone stuff or even better perhaps an arranged time to discuss the game.
While there is generally plenty of time between phases, the first few tend to be the ones with the most content to discuss

Also the game is full press (assuming)

yes

Really excited to be TAing again. My student will be hearing from me soon.

Also please don't look at my last two games as England lol

^

@Gonnor: Yes, I am. But I live in New York now, so we'll have to figure something out regarding time zones.

I am ready to go on Wednesday, I PMed my TA. Will the game be a password game? And Valis will PM the password to the players?

That is how it was done in my last SoW
but that was a while ago so there may be some new cool updated feature where Valis can just yank people in

I don't have that functionality

Pangloss and I have exchanged addresses. Weather, for all intents and purposes, will miss us, so I think we're both ready for Wednesday.

Good to go on Wed.

I have spoken to Backscratcher and I think we are now dating with hopes of becoming more soon.

Not surprised

Are we there yet?
Are we there yet?
Are we there yet?
Awww but I want an ice cream

I think students should have limited liability as far as points. I mean, if I lose, it's all Vecna's fault, so shouldn't he pay for me? ;)

You can take a horse to the water, you can show it how to drink, but alas if the horse is an idiot it's still gonna lose the game

That's why SOW students are more easily likened to sea sponges, absorbing knowledge and filter feeding whatever baloney our TAs teach us.

I know I am very very thirsty.
