Overlords - Game Thread. (playing)

Ok, since all this is theoretically coming together, can we please have a list of rules that we can reference without looking at two threads and having to delve into the threads for further posts with ideas that may or may not actually be upheld rules? I know I'm confused.

I'm in as a normal, if there is still room.

Sorry for the confusion. As I said earlier a rule from the first post of the concept thread is still a rule for this thread unless specifically stated otherwise. However, I will go ahead and put all the rules on the first post of this thread just to make sure everything is clear.

Melnorjr - yes there is still room, your name has been added to the list.

Okay, the opening post is, once again, updated. I don't believe I left anything out, although it is possible I did. There is still slightly more information in the concept thread's OP that is not in this thread, but not the actual rules. I don't think any pertinent information is missing but if there is something that would like to be added let me know.

Also, I have decided that I will indeed go with the ranked list method of nation selection for normals. Overlords will still be first come first serve. Once all of the overlords have finalized their choices, I would like for each player to give me a list of three nations they would be willing to play. If you do not care what nation you are, one will be assigned to you randomly. If you do not get ANY of your choices, further picks will be handled on a first come first serve basis. This information will be added to the first post of the thread.

Oh, right, your ranked lists should be pmed to me. Also one of the overlords sent me a ranked list. I was avoiding that to save time, but what the hell, it would be less confusing if just everyone submitted a ranked list.

do we pm the ranked lists to you? or post them here?

Pm your ranked list to me.

DomDomDom and Hoplosternum - The both of you are just on time. No, normals cannot cast any globals, ever. This game will probably take a while to get going, as we may be using a completely custom map. So it is possible we will not even start until after next saturday. We shall see.

I just have to ask QM now if he can tell me whether he is playing or not, and then I will see if victory conditions will need to be adjusted.

Okay, all the overlords have sent in their nation choices. However, with 22 players and 4 overlords, the overlords are looking seriously outmanned. I am either going to switch in QM or namad as another overlord before posting the overlord list.

I can join as an overlord if you're still short. Since everyone else has presumably submitted lists already:
Machaka, Ermor, Marignon, Shinuyama, Arcoscephale, T'ien Ch'i
