WEGS vs WIGS...

As all thirteen of you who read this blog know, WEGS stands for the Wickedly Errant Game System. A quick google revealed the following (and I included some quotes of what the folks on the other side of the wegs are up to...).

Work Experience (for) Graduate Students
"Students taking full course loads, for example, are likely not obtaining full-time work experience - and may not be obtaining any work experience, if they are not conducting research or assisting in the teaching of design courses while they are completing their graduate course requirements. They are, however, obtaining significant Professional Development credits. Because of the complexity of the nature of the work experience obtained by graduate students, it is recommended that all graduate students submit progress reports, preferably in consultation with their supervisors, every six calendar months. In any event, reports must be submitted within two months of the completion of six months'acceptable work experience in order to receive full credit for that experience."

Welsh Ewe Genotyping Scheme
"The scheme entailed the genotyping of 25,000 animals, mostly ewes, but also some rams where these had not been tested under the NSP, all of which were fitted with electronic identification (boli) for individual identification and recorded. This activity was limited to animals at the top end of the breeding pyramid in order to maximise the future genetic benefit by identifying the supply of resistant rams and ewes and thereby enabling future breeding to be concentrated on animals with a higher level of resistance."

Wickedly Easy Game System
Yes. Yes. My first concept for WEGS was to create an adventure game that was wickedly easy to play. Initially the "E" meant "Easy" not "Errant". The game is still a super easy system to pick up, but we do some things you oughtn't do with dice. Things some folks would categorize errant... It's still a hell of a lot easier than being a grad student or tagging ewes, I'm sure...

ps - "of the 25,000 animals tested" most were ewes... good thing they weren't iguanas for the sake of the acronym...
