Great. Thanks so much!

Hey! I'm back so you can count on me for game 1.

It's not looking great for game 2 though, sadly...

Don't worry, we still have 6 days and only need a few more people to join! Come on, we're looking for some more students and TA's. I won't ask our wonderful volunteers to do two games.

haha! Well, if we're really short, we could set up a SoW for the Medit. map. I've only played it once and could use a good teaching.

We just need 4 TA's and 2 students!

Game 1 is up. gameID=62777

I'll be sending out the passwords in a jiffy. Ninjaintervention, remember not to join until after the holiday, though if you do I suppose we could get a force pause

Cachimbo that's a great idea! Though it may differ from the traditional SoW, we have enough students to do it, and I have enough experience on that map that I'd TA in it.

Well, count me in for either. I have no interest for the world map, but I'm sure there's fun to be had on the Ancient Med one. My only experience there was cut abruptly short by a sordid case of meta-gaming. I've never gone back since.

Well, shouldn't we be looking for people w/ experience on the Med map and w/ those countries? (Greece, Rome, Persia, Egypt, Carthage)

okay. We'll see what has happened on July 4th. If we have no more students, then I'll do an Ancient Med map. If we get more, I'll try for classic. But most urgently, we need TA's!!! Experienced players (who haven't already volunteered) please! We need your guidance.

Also, I'll make the new thread on tuesday or so for game 1

And you're right scmoo....we should do that, but I'd rather not worry about it until its a definite that we're not getting any more students

Joined.

I think we can get another classic game going pretty easy and sign some more TA's up but not in this thread. After 222 replies (223 with this one) then people aren't going to open it up and try to follow what's going on. If a new thread is started for game 2 of the Summer 2011 SoW then I'm sure we can gain a few more people. I can get some people I know to be students and they can use the help. I'll PM them to let them know.

@goldfinger: If you wanna start a new SoW thread to advertise game 2 then that will help get the word out.

@ True Ninja
I was thinking the same, but considering I am only a student, didn't think I should start it up. And as to getting more students, we need (2?) more, and we need more TA's. So a new thread would be easiest.

There are a few other players I can think of that would make good TA's, if there end's up being a shortage for game two I'll ask some of them.

Yeah, I've PM'd a few people about it, and will send some more out right now. If we do get enough for the two games, I'll have to shuffle the TA list so the best ranked are equally dispersed.

But I'll start up a second thread

Ninja will wait to join until after July 4th, but fabiobaq and THisTakesGumption still need to join. If you do not join by Tuesday, I will put the call out for replacements

Can I also Join?

Sure thing Ben, I'll put your name on the student list.

thanks

Draug - the TA role is different now - there are 7 students, each of whom has a TA to advise them.

Yeah, Pete. I know. We already went over that. Hence my being a TA.

just a reminder... the pause ability is not a diplomacy tool... :P

Ben, we have mods that can force-unforce pauses for us as need be

well, if we ask nicely

lol... yea I know... I tried to do it once and i was a bit overwhelmed by the displeasure of the Mod/Admins ;p
