After the United States acquired the Louisiana Territory, federal surveyors divided much of the land into rectangular townships and sections. The resulting grid allowed the government to identify and sell parcels more easily, helping accelerate settlement.

Do you still want us to host community events? If yes, what specific games or activities would you actually show up for? Let us know below!

Hello Jimmy and the one other person there is at my time of writing this. :) 📈Actionable Step 0: Make a post in the community where you explain WHY you are interested in gamifying your studying📈 I want to gamify my studying so that I'm excited to do my homework and hopefully finish it faster so I have more time for my hobbies.

Actionable Step 0: Make a post in the community where you explain WHY you are interested in gamifying your studying: I am very ADHD which certainly has a negative impact on my ability to study effectively. Traditional methods to hopefully find a remedy to this predicament have unfortunately failed. That being said, I am an avid gamer at heart, which certainly intrigues me to see how I could gamify studying. My current focus points for studying center on NRMET-B Cognitive Exam and foreign language proficiency (Russian).
