When I create a new game I have this  
10.times { @game.rounds.create }  
for round in @game.rounds  
6.times { round.add\_actions }  
end

Here are my specifications.  
A game has and belongs to many teams  
There are two teams per game.  
There are three players on a team.  
Each game can have any number of actions (which belong to a round),  
but % 6 will always = 0, because they are added in 6s.

This does not work:  
for round in @game.rounds  
3.times { @game.teams[0].players \<\< round.actions.create }  
3.times { @game.teams[1].players \<\< round.actions.create }  
end  
I am trying to get it so each action is linked with a player. Also, so  
each team is linked to all the actions of each player, so I can track  
how many times a player has done an action. My problem is I cannot get  
the actions to link to the player and have the team track how many  
times an action has been committed, per game.

That was stupid.  
It’s just  
10.times { @game.rounds.create }  
for round in @game.rounds  
for player in @game.teams[0].players  
player.actions \<\< round.actions.create  
end  
for player in @game.teams[1].players  
player.actions \<\< round.actions.create  
end  
end

Still though, how do I make it so that a team stores how many times  
each player has committed actions per game?
