or TA's begin talking to the students

The professors first class - openings part A has now been posted for students.

the ambassador u are awesome!!

Part B & the final part of the pre-spring 1901 lecture is now posted.

I think FD is away...
Sun 10 PM Spring, 13: [Ogres]:hey, guys, I am leaving for a school-related trip for two days, could I get an extend?
He should be back soon, but the game may need an extend so that Tyran is not at a disadvantage.

sorry about that :\

Bump - Can I give some advice to Russia? Entering orders is generally an essential step toward doing well in a game :D

I think you need to change your name to Captain Obvious!

YOu can change your name to Sergant Sarcastic

Just trying to get a point across... He still hasn't entered orders, and it's not too long before the phase progresses...

He didn't take my advice... :(

Case in point for why I'm picky about who I'll tutor... (though I had thought imagonnalose wouldn't have been one I'd expect to up and disappear)

Russia has significantly changed game dynamics with his absence.

My recommendations (for next SoW) are:
a. Completely prevent NMR's. If someone misses a turn, the game should redo the phase and if the person can't be found they should be removed and replaced (there is a built in setting for this no, the so-called 'serious' NMR policy?)
b. Anonymous games are better for SoW imo (unrelated to Russia's absence but if I remember from webdip SoW series I participated in as both a student and as a TA, they were all anon games).

I've been here the whole time... I've been entering orders on my phone. Have they not been coming through? I ask bc I've not been having any trouble with it in my other games......

A. I will put that in next time

B. The current ones are non-anon, so I will keep this one non-anon

The serious NMR setting doesn't work if the person checks the game but doesn't enter orders...

true...

whoa.. how the heck did that double post with that much time in between posts?

I may have just set a record (and managed an epic fail..)

seems I even posted in between

Now I'm really confused..

Maybe the forum thread was on your phone and youve posted from your computer in between? or vice versa?

Leif - you're right. SoW games on Webdip are anon. Students here are welcome to follow the SoW on Webdip that is about to start up. Leif, we need more TA's over there too :) (not being serious, you must be fed up with it by now haha)

lol.. well if run well and done with students I at least know some about I'd be fine with it. As it is, I'm overcomitted right now and don't have the time.

@ Spartan.. I have no smart phone or posting ability from a phone and I do all my vdip on 1 computer so, explain that one to me...

bump.. and game link repost for TA's:

Is there any professor commentary on this game?

Students who would like some lectures in overall gameplay should check out the School of War thread over on webbdip (which has links to lots of other past School of War threads)

*webdip

@goldfinger - I'm professoring in the current game. Lectures are posted in global at http://vdiplomacy.com/board.php?gameID=10505

Thanks

game is going along great. Very glad at how it is going.

I made a few mistakes in setting it up, but overall it is great

(also bump!)
