Indian Dinosaur
You thought I was done arguing this, didn't you?
The All-India Bollywood Championship map on Turn 17 is NOT an ice-cream cone, it is a dinosaur. I win. That is all.

2008 Ivy League Championship: Congratulations and Thank You
Ladies and Gentlemen of the Ivy League,A hearty congratulations to all of you for participating in the 2008 Ivy League Championship, a heartier congratulations to the Penn commanders and players for their hard-fought victory, and the heartiest congratulations of all to Greg Marvin, Penn '11, for winning the GoCrossRidiculousGiveaway -- a plasma TV, surround sound stereo system, and Nintedo Wii! Hurrah!
It has indeed been a pleasure watching the ILC take root as an institution, and an organic one at that. Such a tournament would not been possible without the camaraderie, wit, humor, strategy, diplomacy, pride, loyalty and competitive spirit that you all have shown.
We thank you all for a wonderful game, and as always, we'll look forward to an even bigger and better Ivy League Championship next Fall. Start planning now: the competition will undoubtedly be more intense, the grand strategy more intricate, and the rewards even greater.
And yes, we'll be rocking yet another epic movie trailer and music video for next year's ILC. Would you have expected any less? ;-)
Cheers,
-MOB

Quick GXC Update - New Features
Hi, it's Gerardo here.
Just wanted to write a brief note to inform you of some recent changes that we've made to the GoCrossCampus Arena and Lightning Games:
1. Poll Initiation - You can now find out who initiated a poll. We think this is primarily helpful for players to hold commanders accountable.
2. Poll Limits: 5 nominations per user per turn in spy polls, commander polls, and impeachment polls - Our thinking is that the less we have to intervene with the social dynamics of the game the more realistic they can be. That is, the more open-ended the system the more flexibility a team has in choosing its own organizational structure and practices.
In this particular case though, we feel the change is warranted in order to limit the potential for annoying abuse which gets in the way of your enjoyment of GXC.
3. Commander emails limits: 3 per user per turn per game - Same thinking as above!
Let us know what you think! http://getsatisfaction.com/gxstudios
