Melnorj, you are right that it is stated that the noobs were to have first choice in the ordered list process, but it is also stated and has always been the case that returning alternates would recieve priority in nation selection before everyone else. It is a NvV tradition.

Our returning alternates from both teams were given an equal chance to respond with their nation choices, namad responded first when the process was officially begun and thus was awarded it. Unoptimized has not responded to my PM's as of yet, so he may have flaked out altogether. I hope not, but in any event lets move forward now. I don't like it anymore than you melnorj, but I gave my word. Lets us move forward.

I am in agreement and have already stated that this is what I want more than once. so please, continue with the game preparations, I have no opposition to this.
