Though the Game Masters determine plot, the game is not a pre-determined script. “Let’s be serious,” Alessandro says. “We’re students. We don’t have time at all to come up with a plan.” He said it offhandedly as he was about to start running a session...
...hope that students take advantage of this week and resubmit their midterm papers and grades to benefit from what surely will be a weeklong bonanza in grade inflation. Parties may take a serious hit, of course, as well as Greek life—but for the long term, students will benefit from this momentary lapse in fun.

Johnson is something of a star of the small screen, a veteran of game shows as well as serious news programs. British Prime Minister Gordon Brown disparaged Johnson in a recent interview with Piers Morgan in GQ, saying, "I don't think people want politicians to be some sort of subset of the entertainment business."
