You mean like my list before I pulled out? I think I was in 3rd place and would have gotten my picks.
early pangaee
middle pangaee
early ulm
middle man
tir na nog
early maverni
early oceania
middle marignon

Personally I would tend to avoid any nation being heavily discussed in the IRC channel. Anything with the proper method of play being so completely laid out would be boring to me. And particularly unfun if you get it "wrong".

I kindof expected the experts to take their favorite topics so they can prove their points but it doesnt look like thats happening. Makes me wonder if they are avoiding those for the same reason.

With a game this big 'properly' following a tier 1 strategy might not even work; besides the possibility of getting ganked six ways from Sunday for playing a really competitive Lanka, there might be someone coming out of left field that has that strategy's number.

I picked 3 strong ones, and 3 I have a soft spot for. All 6 I like so if I luck out and get the strong ones great . I have never had the chance to play a very strong nation in MP play, but if I get one of my other 3 choices, I will not be disappointed either. 2 of those 3 are pretty competitive and the other one I think I can make work

I wondered about that. Gandy says he playsj but you don't know him, Velusion razzs him on it, and suddenly one of the players dropped out. Ticked off G? Were you going to try MP?

I gather I can still change or update my list before the deadline? Mainly add a few to the list, there are too many nations I really don't want to risk getting totally random assignment.

My hat is off for those who dare to go the random path. However just like you tero I don't want to risk getting stuck with a nation i dislike.

With the vote tally posted I would guess that everyone might redo their lists.

@wicked:
Actually Ive played MP with pretty much the best players that Dom has to offer. And this one will be interesting but Im also one of the few people who has played in a game this large already.

If you've got the time Gandalf I think you should play... either as a whipping horse or to show all us whippersnappers what's up.

I think it'd be fun to hear "Gandalfs picking on MEEEE!" on the thread! "Gandalfs coming, run away!" Or everyone gangs up on you and we still get a chuckle. If you have the time and inclination I think you should be part of it.
