I agree with Panthers idea of dividing the remaining 14 nations between the two teams so there is an extra choice to play around with.

Fine on all 14

Here are all 14 split randomly into 2 sets by me (!)

Abysia
Ctis
Machaka
Man
Mictlan
Pangaea
Ulm

Arco
Caelum
Jotunheim
Marignon
Pythium
Tien Chi
Vanheim

If someome from team B wants to pick a set we can start haggling or we can wait for a true 3rd party.

Both have a bunch of human races so Yvelina should be ok
once she reappears

http://benatar.snurgle.org:8080/~fluffy/rng.c

Here is the results:
Team A:
Ulm
T'ien Chi
Pangaea
Arcosnuffle
Machaka
Marignon
C'tis

Team B:
Caelum
Abysia
Vanheim
Mictlan
Pythium
Jotunheim
Man

Since I went to the trouble of making the program you better use my randoms! <g>

You *should* have to protect your dominion from each other. Otherwise you get a bunch of free points.

Thanks, sheap!

You are definitely a geek. Spending weekend time writing a C program for fun to support people you don't even know in RL.

Just like me! Or more accurately, just like the rest of us. I have not written a C program in over 10 years, so it sure was fun disecting yours. I note that you can reuse it for other people with a different RANDMAX number since you put in all 17 races.


I propose we use Sheap's list (with Pickles team is A as mentioned previously), just to prevent arguments. There is no bias that way since Sheap is a neutral third party.
Now, how was it we are supposed to select a nation from this darn list? Shouldn't I know since it was my idea???

Thanks Sheap
I was unsure if you were wading through the massed verbiage or not (& getting the usual massive impatience that characterise us newbsishes). Of course we would love to use you races

Heh, I read all the threads, even for games I'm not playing in. Since I'm involved in this one I have to read it.

I don't know how Team A is planning to choose their nations, but to Team B:
Please Email (or PM) me a list of all 7 nations in order of preference, your expirience with them so far included, I will then hand out the nations to who I see fit. (Being that Im the leader and all =P)
Also, a suggestion for a Pantheon Name would be nice in that Email/PM.
