I think its especially great to learn alongside other people going out and doing their best to actually game in real life. I'm curious if anyone else wants to join me?

In other words, accountability and community. Because we know we are all "in the trenches" and doing the work, I believe this will create a positive and motivating experience.

Noob or experienced, no matter, as long as you put in the work, is all that counts. Booted if not putting things into actual practice. Proof of effort would be sarge "diaries" and logs.
