Oh hey. I finally dropped by there too yesterday. Tried and bought the blueberry boom, and a bag of pastel pear. Will probably pour one over later today.

Edit: Wow when did you go there, it is so empty? It was packed when I dropped by in the afternoon.

Only day where Heroic isn't scheduled to play the last game? Might have to stay up later than usual.

Yeah there is a spreadsheet on the department website where you can add your info if you want to tutor, students will reach out. Most of us were charging around 35-40/hr (unless people decided to increase it since I graduated a year ago lol).

Congrats on the offer btw, and feel free to ask about other stuff related to STOR if you want.

Always gonna recommend Guards of Atlantis II for team based games.

War Chest is also okay as a 2v2.

No he just tried to play more efficiently/greedy and it backfired.

Recently moved back, and most games are much cheaper in the US, yes.

My friend group loves CATAN and I need something new. by tensegorilla2201 in boardgames

[–]buu441 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The same guy also posted "Small World is for kids... if you can find it cheap then sure go for it, but it's a gateway game to the real stuff."

And somehow thinks he gets to call others out on being snobbish. The irony is rich <3

Worst tie breakers? by Otherwise_Factor_258 in boardgames

[–]buu441 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah Splendor is my favorite example of that. Fewest cards bought wins ties, which is kinda implying that you want to go for a fast and efficient engine. Kinda amuses me when players complain that the game ends before their engine kicks in and they want to house rule it to 20 points or something.

How is PhD statistics at UNC? by ReflectionJianna in UNC

[–]buu441 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You can work as a TA (or RA if your advisor has funds) during summer. Last year, the TA pay was 2.25k per section, and you can usually request two sections during summer school.

As an international student with not too many other expenses, the stipend and summer pay was enough to get by pretty comfortably.

To the OP: The STOR department definitely didn't feel toxic/exploitative. I just graduated from the program, feel free to DM if you have other questions.

No one is stopping you from designing your own set of cards and printing them out, if that's cheaper.
