There will be a 7 day period to send in pretenders after the patch. And the patch is not even out yet, so I doubt there will be anyone missing the game because they are gone until Saturday.

I still am undecided what to do about the new race no one selected. Since the patch appears to be delayed, it bolsters my earlier thought to just leave them out of this game, as including them will only delay the game more as there would be a significant reshuffling of races(or a strong possibility of it).

Part of the problem is i had many players that said they would play any race, but I did not want to give them a water race, a race that had to blood hunt to survive (micromanagement hell), or a new race. The new race, for all i know, could be a water race, or a race that requires blood hunting for dominion spread.
