It doesn't say what manner of bonus the alternates would recieve no. However, it simply rubs me wrong to be promised something, (noobs have first pick) then have that turned around and given to somebody else, because it is later decided that
they will get first pick. Further, my point about the noob alternate still stands. if noobs were to get first pick, then it is decided that alternates would get first pick, it would seem most fair to give the first pick to the noob alternate.

it is however in poor taste to complain only after I have selected my nation instead of before I claimed it (there was a day or two in there between when septimus suggested his policy and i was awarded the nation during which no one said a word)...

I apologize for this. I was unaware that you were given first pick days ago. However, I haven't been following this thread that closely(I'm sometimes fairly busy, and I don't get e-mails alerts from this forum) and it was just now mentioned to me that a vet had picked a nation already, and had gotten the first pick.
as a request, please keep opinions about my taste, poor or otherwise, to yourself.

as in the past day I've already begun trying to psyche myself up to play ashdod ( there's a lot of pressure to be the worst vet and have the first vet pick ) not to mention qm just nerfed a few of my favorite spells for being too badass!

For the record, I want to state that I object to being promised something, coming to expect it, and having it taken away, whether it is first pick, or anything else. It is obviously unfair.
However, to take Ashdod away from you at this point would be effectively the same thing, so I will not push the issue.
