And the teams are...........

Team 1 - Dr. P, Micah
Team 2 - Carlosib, Parcelt
Team 3 - Baalz, Shovah32
Team 4 - Thrawn, Velusion
Team 5 - Archaeolept, EvilHomer
Team 6 - Folket, Snacktime
Team 7 - Janlm, DryaUnda

Just drew numbers from a coffee mug.

Now, I will random the themes, basically the same way. Draw a number 1-7 from one mug (for the team), then a number 1-9 from another mug (representing the theme).

And the themes.......

TEAM 7. DRUIDS ARE TOTALLY VIKINGS, RIGHT? - Helheim + Marverni
Archaeolept, EvilHomer

[Thrawn]

And, there we have it. It's up to the two teammates to decide which nation they will play. Once you decide, post the result here. If you have the option of a water nation, post ASAP, as that will effect Dr. P's map making task.

Also, should we make a new rule that Baalz can't play Mictlan?

My god is now in control of Ulm. My partner is Janlm.

[archaeolept]

hey monday's fine... i'm still trying to figure out these helheim units... that white menorah on the black horsies means they keep kosher, right?

[Thrawn]

Hey guys. Updating the front page with your nation choices. If you haven't posted them here, please do so, or PM me.

You can start uploading your pretenders using Velusion's instructions above.

The game will start Monday! Remember, no hostile actions against other PLAYER nations until after turn 15. You can kill all the independents you want.

[DrPraetorious]

I'm Agartha, Micah is Caelum.

[Velusion]

Interesting. For the the two teams that have choices for the pair - what is the timing for those to be announced/determined? I assume it will be simultaneous?

Edit: cause otherwise Team 2 will just wait for Team 6 to declare what nations they are playing before deciding

[Velusion]

More questions:

How big is the map going to be? and

Can we get a commitment to the proportion of water provinces per water nation beforeplease?

[Thrawn]

That's a good point, Velusion. Why don't we just have everyone PM me their nation choices, and I will post them all at once on the first page. Dr. P., I will give you a heads up, once I know if we need water provinces.

Map wise, Dr. P. can best answer, but I think last time we had 15-20 provinces per NATION? I'm sure we can have a commitment to a certain number of water provinces, once we know if we even need them.
