Paul and Marc (and any other Council Member participating),
Not sure where this should go, but felt we need to put it somewhere soon, in order to chronologically log events as they occur.
I finally slipped in this morning when all the IT pukes were still sleeping. Logged on this evening and enrolled in course 734706.
First Impressions
The countries I'm most familiar with are strangely absent from the list (but then the course is after all the HOA).
The prologue left me clicking "next" trying to escape and eventually I ended up with "What is Culture", but the system locked up during "Bias" and nearly had to restart to get it going.
Finally made it to my first card game when the system finally locked up for good after two or three successful matches. Not too sure I get the usefulness of the card game, but that will probably come later ???
Marc, Your initial impressions thus far?
Regards, Stan

Non-existent, Stan. I don't have either an ako or jko account. They were, supposedly, going to set up an alternate server for the few of us in that situation, but I haven't had any response to my emails about it yet. Maybe they don't want an Anthropologist assessing it !
What's bugging me somewhat is that, outside of not responding to my emails and generally treating me like a mushroom, they keep pushing the timing back. At this rate, if I ever get on, it will be as I'm traveling down to the TRADOC Senior Leaders Conference!
Oh well, I have other things on my plate to keep me going - a concert tonight (Bach and Purcel) and a funeral tomorrow (as well as all the other stuff).
Cheers,
Marc

and made it through some of prologue, all of what is culture and so far I can see where their headed. Seems ok but the flow is somewhat quirky (it might be smoother now that the download was updated. ) Reminds me of something I had a chance to play with couple years ago and if thats where their headed it should be pretty good. They do need to be a little more clear on directions for things like the card game. (at least for those like me who are a little slow to figure it out) Took me ten minutes to figure out how to actually match them.

Hey Ron,
I almost thought I knew where we were heading but having second thoughts. It's hard to conclude anything at this point, but, if I had never worked in Africa I may have spent more time listening. The female character needs some tuning up
Admittedly I was wondering the same thing with the card game. But then, even when I did figure out the matching system (the football teams) the system still would not register a match right off. Spent 2.30 minutes and 4 matches
Marc,
Did you Skype into the initial phone conference ?
