Vets, get it together with your team, I need you guys to decide on your 6 player starting team ASAP. I would think you'd want Dr. P, Baalz, Lingchih, and/or whoever is most experienced.
Everyone, I want your feedback on the map candidates, no response and I'll assume that what I choose will be approriate. Here's the map post again:

With regard to nation selection, namad, your example is correct in theory, though it is possible, though unlikely, that all of your 10 choices could be identical to the noob's top picks in the exact same order, in which case you'd want a few more just to be on the safe side. Thus I would submit a list of all available nations (minus the 3 water nations, Ashdod, and whatever is picked by Unoptimized (if something is picked) just to be on the safe side. If you want to submit a smaller list that is fine but just be aware there is a chance you may need more.
Hoplosternum, your in as a noob alternate for now, chrispederson is in as a vet alternate for now.
