Re: JaMES: How well do you know your Bible? (Summer 2020)
I apologise for the delayed update; Michael, Jon, and myself have all been quite busy and we haven't really had time to finish JaMES. That said, we recently started working on it again - so rest assured this side event is still happening. As it stands, JaMES is about 60% written and we hope to have ...

Re: DATE POLL: ILLIAC Collegiate/Open Online Mirror
Two separate mirrors could be a good idea. People who want the closed mirror can play that one, and open players and those who don't mind have their own option too. However, it'd probably necessitate another series of polls to determine dates.
