whoever posts above this is a fool

basicly, there are seven students, who play the game. (inexperienced players)

Each student has a personal assistant assigned to them, who gives them advice on how to paly (middle experienced?)

then there is a professor, who publicly makes comments on eveyrone (veyr experienced)

any interest?

darn it KA!

I wanna be a student....

If I qualify for "middle experience" and the time commitment is not too extreme, I'll be glad to assist.

AND I'M A STUDENT WHO WANTS TO BE A BILLIONAIRE!
Funny how the world works, isn't it...

I am thinking 2-3 day phase? give the professor time to discuss

Students:

Imagonnalose

TA's:

The Dr.

I will join as a TA, most likely

@Fortress - I ran a SoW over on webdip a year back, if you need any help. You need to set a variant for it though, and the TA's and professors need to be experienced in that particular variant. Additionally, TA's should state the countries that they are best at (once the variant is picked) so that they will TA the student who is playing the country the TA is best at.

Over at webdip, a professor is usually top 50 GR, and a TA 50-200, to put it in perspective.

well, vdip has no GR. So we can't really do that

and it would be classic, unless there is strong favor of a different variant.

If you want a classic SOW head over to webdip. This is vdip. The prof should have experience over multiple variants and be able to give strategies and advice that apply to multiple variants and are adaptable, to represent the true nature of vdip.

i concede to that point. We will be doing a variant, how about Youngstown?

Can I be a student?

Well, we want one that we can find another enough TA's for. I personally am leaning towards Youngstown, or maybe Haven if possible.

regardless, fasces. Each TA and professor should have played a variant several times over, and the TA have a nation he/she specializes in. That itself should be a limiting factor, because not many have probably played a single variant 8 times or so.

true, so Modern would probably be the best map for this then.

modern it is. I have played this variant 3 times, so I would have to be a student..

I'm not a big fan of the variant either lol. I chose it since its the most popular other then WWV and 2 player maps

I'd love to participate, not sure where I would fit in though. I guess it depends on the variant.

Modern it is.

Let's go find players who have played the most games under that variant, and ask them to join

im down to be a student please i just started about 5 day:D but im addicted!!! need TA please too sign me up :D.... loving this professor idea... i love this games community

so, for students, we have:

BigAssMofo
Spartan22
KA
Imagonnalose
Fortress Doerr

no TA's at the moment

Everyone wants to be a student, lol

well, I would TA. out of my three games I have gotten Italy twice, and survived right up until the end, so I might be able to coach an Italy player

fortess doerr lol ya u need to be TA.... lol anyone over 200 phase should not be student or maybe even 100 if we r really looking for freash meat
but ya we need some TA's and Prof

well, we are looking for good with this variant. I will go through the finished modern games and inform the seemingly good players (aka, TA material) about this thread

will all students please post the country they want to play:

FD: Italy

Oh, I meant to ask to be a teacher, not a Student! Just forget I was ever here...

bye KA :(

BigAssMofo
Spartan22
