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.

are you in team b ?

really challenging to chose a good team with our team A nations . your random program seems to flavour team B

haven't you seen enough Hollywood sport movies? the underdog team is always the favorite to win cos they got 'team spirit'.

Depends on what races you like. I suppose since people seem to like Abysia, Vanheim, and Caleum, then by these standards, the B list is better. But they will have conflicting temperature scales as pointed out already. We will not since, IIRC, all our races but one like neutral temp scales. Plus we get Ulm and Pangaea and Arco, which are all quite good races.

Pickles - I don't know how you are going to assign races, but I will take any one of these four choices:
T'ien Ch'i
Pangaea
Machaka
Marignon
This is mainly because I am already playing the other three races in MP right now and I want a new challange. Plus having different races in all my MP games will help an old guy like me keep them straight.

As for Tauren, he said he did not care, but I know he is currently playing C'tis and Machaka in MP so I expect he would prefer one of the other 5 races on the list.

Hmmmm...
So far Cheezninja and Yvelina seem to be gone...
We'd have to wait and see if they come back to life :\

[Boron]

oh we have ulm i thought the others have ok i am quiet again

i could play :
ulm
ctis
arco

i would prefer ctis or ulm
i guess nobody likes ctis so my chances are probably quite good

[Pickles]

Tauren said he liked Marignon as did aku - I emailed them could you all pm me os other wise get email addresse to me so we can communicate that way please

(I could PM everyone I suppose...)

I was hoping there would be no conflicts on races & it looks that way (almost)

Machaka - me
Uml Ctis Arco - boron
Tien chi Pangaea - Panther
Marignon - Aku or Tauren
So provided either Aku or Tauren will change we are OK

Not sure what is happening with our other team - I will wait a day then open up it again. Maybe start a new thread with the game proposal clearly laid out & close this one.

[Aku]

If Tauren really wants Marignon then he can have it. I can play filler to whatever race we need filled on the team if that helps any. My primary choice is Marignon but I will do what is best for the team.

[Sheap]

You know you have made a good distribution of the nations when both sides are complaining about the nations they've got to use

I think it is good - the blood nations are evenly distributed, team B has perhaps the stronger races on balance, but none of them have anything strategically or tactically in common with each other. Team A on the other hand has less powerful races which will work together more smoothly.

I assure everyone though that the races were distributed by the random generator

[The Panther]

OK, Command decision here. After consultation with Tauren and reading the Posts here, I have come up with the following assignments, which should make everyone happy (or equally unhappy???):

Pickles - Machaka
Boron - Ulm
Aku - Marignon
Tauren - Pangaea
Panther - T'ien Ch'i


Does this sound good?
This gives us a rainbow distribution of starting gem income, missing only air (unless in the unlikely event Aku chooses Conqurerors of the Sea). Team B has all the air races, I noticed...

Yes
