two v. two v. two v. two v. two (full)

Tauren/Panther team what is your first pick? you chose two nations.

Also YC/Chris team needs to choose a first pick.

[Zooko]

So our team's first pick is (still) Ulm, and forget anything I said about Man or Pangaea...

[Zooko]

Now as for placement, either one of us can place all ten teams and everyone can know everyone else's starting positions, or we can solicit some third party to do the placement for us and we can all not know. Although we all know that the placement will be *roughly* the simple layout described in the ASCII art in the first message of this thread.

I think we should just have everyone know everyone's position. Could someone tell me how to do specific placement, or just do it (on Inland) and post it for everyone to see?

[CUnknown]

I don't think that YC and I are actually playing. That Faerun game is going to start taking a lot of time soon. Sorry..

[Zooko]

Okay! Thanks for letting us know right away.

current line-up:

Zooko and Arc -- Ulm
King Lear and Ioticus -- ?
Tauren and Panther -- Machaka
Griffin of Buerrig and Hacker Pschor (if they are still interested) -- Jotunheim
Hubris and Aku -- Ctis

Since we had the last pick in the first round, we went ahead and choose the first pick in round 2.

However, it turns out that we are no longer last because of the substitution issue so I suppose we really have the second pick in round 2 instead of the first one...

[GriffinOfBuerrig]

Heyda, of course we are still in interrested, are we on our turn to do the next pick?

[Zooko]

Whoops, obviously the host (that's me) ought to implement some more stringent fairness methods.

I hereby declare that, uh, that, oh heck I don't care who picks their second team in what order. Sorry. If someone can suggest a fair mechanism I'll stringently implement it.

[Hubris]

As a lesson though, you should always have strict rules on everything when you're the host.

[Zooko]

Yes, it's true. Sorry for my laxness.

The remaining team which hasn't announced their first pick should announce their first pick, that's King Lear and Ioticus. After that, we'll go in reverse order for announcing second pick. Stay tuned for more detail.
