This is awesome. Twilight Struggle is one of my favourite games and the other implementations I have played are wrapped-up in too many unnecessary flourishes -- useless sound effects and video -- this looks clean and puts gameplay first. Th

Luke, Alnayyir isn't criticizing your desire to hire a friend. He is saying that the entire topic is judgmental and crass since it starts from an assumption of superiority over others. And I respectfully agree. If the defining quality of fr

At risk of sounding like a complete asshat to apparently everyone else on this thread, a 9:00 - 4:00 workday is what I had in kindergarten. If I were running a company with this issue I'd consider it a big problem too.

Don't ask people to play a role in your company unless they're going to work for it. Once you start growing people will want to be associated with your success and you won't find it hard to engage. Asking for recommendations from people who

When you are not profitable you pay people as little as possible and deal in cash. Give work to friends and friends of friends at below market rates. Do not give out equity or anything that requires paying lawyers to do things. Don't make p
