If you aren't going home for October Break that means you are coming  
to Excalibur..right?  RIGHT?!  Right.

More episodes of Red Dwarf, followed by the fantastic movie The Green  
Mile.    Warning [for those who haven't seen it]: while nothing is  
shown, there are mentions of rape.

I'm posting this on the Excalibur list because y'all seem like the  
most likely group on campus to be interested, so here goes:

For my divsion III on game design, I am looking for one or more 2D  
digital artists to help lighten the art workload.  Of course, I won't  
be asking for help for nothing.  I'm offering CEL1 and 2/community  
service, or even class credit, though if you want that you won't  
actually get the credit until next semester, plus the obvious name in  
the credits nonesuch and nice new resume addition, the last of which  
is invaluable should you want to continue work in the games field.

If you're interested, shoot me an e-mail (smt09) and we'll talk.

So to make up for all the emotions and tears of last week's screening,  
Connor has taken it upon himself to choose the movie and will leave it  
a surprise until the actual screening...which is still Saturday  
(tomorrow...or today, since technically it's 1am right now) at 8pm in  
FPH, East Lecture Hall.

Also, it's Family and Friend's Weekend!  Which means you should bring  
your friends and family to Excalibur!

*Invitation to Participate in a Research Study*

I am inviting you to volunteer for a research study with the purpose of 
learning about the experiences of undergraduate students that 
participate in massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPGs) 
and other online multiplayer games.  This research is being done as part 
of graduate program in public policy at the University of Massachusetts 
Amherst.

I am interested to learn about your experiences with online games and 
how they fit into your life.  In many ways, the interviews I have with 
participants will shape my future research.  I am fascinated by player 
experiences in online games and I am eager to learn from your perspective.

Participants are welcome from any of the Five Colleges that are enrolled 
as undergraduate students and actively play an MMORPG or other online 
game.  I request an hour-long interview from each participant.  With 
permission, I will use a tape recorder or notepad to record 
conversations.  There are no foreseeable risks to participants in this 
study.  I hope that our discussions will encourage fruitful reflection 
on your experiences in your preferred gaming realm.

The narratives that I collect in this study will be used in a research 
paper for my Qualitative Research Methods class.  I will also present my 
finding to the class; however, the results will not be prepared for 
publication.  I will strictly maintain the confidentiality of all 
participants.  I am grateful for your participation.  You may withdraw 
from this study at any time.

Please contact me if you are interested in participating in this study:

Subject: [Excalibur] Artemis: the next generation
Message-ID: <20121020160758.Horde.64eFMvrBk2lQgwSeMFa2abA@webmail.hampshire.edu>

Some of you may be wondering "Whatever happened to Artemis?  Where can  
I get my spaceship bridge fix?"  Worry not, for Artemis can still  
happen, at 6, before Excalibur.  I have the necessary files on my  
flash drive, so don't worry if you do not have the game.  I can even  
get it working on a mac, so don't let that deter you.  (we will need  
at least one pc to hook up to the projector, though).

In short, Artemis will go on, at 6, in the East Lecture hall, as long  
as we have at least 3 people.  We would like more, though.

Subject: [Excalibur] WHY THERE NO EXCALIBUR?!
Message-ID: <20121024232000.Horde.0xHyMfrBk2lQiK-g0frUgXA@webmail.hampshire.edu>


That is a wonderful question!  Well, due to Hampshire Halloween, this  
weekend is a Blackout weekend...meaning that Excalibur (and any other  
club) cannot meet at all.   Sorry folks!

Also, keep your fingers crossed that we won't have a repeat of last  
year and we get another snowpocalypse two days after Hampshire  
Halloween that results in half the campus getting stranded at Mt.  
Holyoke for three days..because that was fun, right?

Final note: Excalibur needs signers for next year..and forever.  We  
are mostly looking for tributes...i mean, volunteers among first and  
second-years, but third years can apply if they feel they can handle  
it.  Either email me (lsf09 -- don't reply to the list) or Connor  
(cg09) or David (diw08) and we'll figure out some sort of interview  
process thing.

May the odds be ever in your favor!

I'm a non-hampshire college student, and was wondering if there was any
news regarding when Deathfest was going to be happening?
I'm signed up for the mailing list, but just wanted to make sure I didn't
miss anything that was being advertised via posters.

Thanks.
