There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Literature, Communication, and Culture Associate Professor Ian Bogost was quoted March 18, "I'm not sure we can yet conclude that the government really wants to make games. This contest reads as PR more than politics. Look we're hip! We <3 Apps! Contests R kewl!" Bogost's comments appeared in the article Public interest vs. propaganda game development.
