As the newly appointed Cultural Development Secretary, I guess it's my job to announce National holidays and encourage people to celebrate them. That being said, I've apparently already failed in my duties, as yesterday was National Wargaming Day, and I failed to make an announcement about it. Truth is, I didn't realize it until I saw it announced on the Talossa Facebook page this morning. (Whoever is running the Facebook page deserves all the credit.) (Talossawiki is apparently down, so I can't access the dates to all the holidays, and I don't have them written down anywhere.) Anyhow, what Wargaming type things does everybody enjoy? I used to play Risk all the time with some pals from work. (That's Wargaming, right?) I remember when I first joined Talossa, Hooligan was telling me about something called "Diplomacy", which I still don't really know anything about. (Miestra, can I appoint someone else to be National GameMaster? There are other, more qualified Talossans to do that. Me, I just like playing Othello and Mille Bornes.)

(Miestra, can I appoint someone else to be National GameMaster?) More than happy for you to do so.

You know. I would probably have never heard of games like Diplomacy if it wasn't for Talossa.

I don't suppose this is a "wargame", but I remember Ian Anglatzara mentioning it once. I found it at Walmart the other day! Didn't buy it, it was forty bucks. Wife said, "We can afford it if you don't mind not eating anything at work for a few days." I passed. Tax refund is coming soon, so I may get it. (Or should I help fund the new Vostok Lake album?)
