3 of our 4 votes for method 2 is a majority. We are going with method 2 on the team nation assignments.

Captains may now OFFICIALLY put in their swap requests, first come, first served.

Chris, actual human team placement is planned to be done by a third party (most likely Gandalf if I can get him to do it, if not then by someone else not actively involved in the game).

This is done on purpose so that so no team will know which of the starting zones they are in (blue, white, red, etc). You will know the starts (they are listed on the doc file) but you will not know which team occupies them.

However, team captains will have the right to decide which of their nations will be placed in the two forward/center positions and which two will be placed in the rear/flank. This is all spelled out in the opening post btw. The default is the top 2 players on each team's player list (vet captain, and intermediate) in the forward positions, if you or anyone else prefers another arrangement, PM me.

Melnorjr, your right, they probably thought everyone else was going to grab hinnom, but why did'nt the other team captains do as DrP did and grab Neifel or Hinnom? Hmmm.
