Me after reading a poem: Well, I had to read it a couple times, and I slept on it, but I think I finally figured out what it means!

Warrior-Poet Nina keeps fighting on!!!

Dear readers, listeners and fellow bloggers: Good morning. In the early dawn our dearest friend Nina, member of the Special Forces of the Ukrainian Army, sent us a personal message accompanied by two recent pictures. Here they are: Note. These images were forwarded through the dating app titled AmourFeel, which has been actively encouraging their customers to show their support for the…

Hail Nina, Warrior-Poet of Ukraine!

Dear readers, listeners and fellow bloggers: Good morning. It is 12.05 AM Eastern Standard Time now in Miami, Florida and we jumped out of bed to write this article as we have just received a message from our dear friend NIna, an officer  in the Ukrainian Army , with a picture of her bearing this caption: “I hope for a peaceful sky overhead” A few weeks ago she had sent us the following picture…

I didn't have a thing for #10. Onwards!

Weirdest Game I Own:  Tricky question. It's a close call, but for now I'll go with Squaring the Circle. No Brave Sparrow. No Warrior-Poet. Haunt Me?

itpiercesskin mentioned Warrior-Poet and I've mentioned Brave Sparrow.

So... Squaring the Circle is a game about being a mathematician. And also a theif. I'll let it explain itself.

Definition 1: Squaring the Circle is the proven impossible task of constructing the square of the same area as a circle using only a finite number of steps with a compass and straight edge.

Definition 2: Squaring the Circle is also mathematical slang for an enticingly difficult challenge, which may or may not be possible.

Theorem 1: Squaring the Circle is a game which merges the genres of academic mathematics and thieves on high risk heists.

Proof : In Squaring the Circle you choose a branch of mathematics and a type of thief, joining them together to build your mathematician. As top mathematicians you are routinely invited to various conferences all over the world. But simply exploring non-trivial consequences of the full Taniyama- Shimura conjecture isn't enough for you and your colleagues.

Sometimes you want to relax by tackling seemingly impossible jobs, like stealing the crown jewels, seducing the head of the national bank, or bankrupting a vicious and powerful CEO. These are open problems, and you and your colleagues will work together and at odds to achieve these squarings of circles.

So that's a thing. Lest you think it's merely thematic coating, each playbook if bifurcated with moves for the Number Theorist side and the actiony-side of things. You will go to conferences. You will uncover mathematical theorems (in the fiction, at least). You will actually play a practicing mathematician practicing mathematics and the politics thereof. It's like an Indiana Jones game with mechanics for actually spending game-time being a teacher.

Back to Warrior-Poet though. This is a game where the resolution mechanic is Haikus. You win the game with "Battle Haikus."

It's. Awesome.

Please hijack the tag #warriorpoet so when wives in waiting search it they accidently learn about feminism. Kthanksbye.

hi, you’ve been ambushed by feminism!
