You respond them they don't get the nation either, they send you pick of nation D and so on.
The question is: how many PMs it would require to settle all the nations, and how soon will the administarator break?

The secret metametagame: us versus the administrator!

In order to most effectively overwhelm him, we'll need many more players, and also many more nations. I volunteer to start work on the sea dog nation mod. This leaves open many other possibilities: Hoburg nation, ronin nation, vine man nation, catoblepas nation. Choose one each, please. I'll use a sophisticated random number system to resolve any conflicts.

Of course once the actual tournament begins, we must all still pick Niefelheim, in order to maximize the number of private messages that will be needed. And also in order to ensure that all of us will win.
