And of course there is a small but not insignificant number of players that choose the "Random" route.

So, just curious do the random picks have a random first choice assigned, or do they get the "leftover" pics after everyone else? Seems fairer to go with the former so they don't just get a nation nobody else would claim.

So I'm guessing I'm unlikely to get my 4th choice of Lanka...

The get leftovers. And your assumption is pretty accurate.

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.

I play fairly often but Im afraid that you wont be hearing "Gandalfs picking om MEEEE!" if I can avoid it. When I join, I dont join as Gandalf. The only people who have played me as Gandalf are the devs and the beta-testers.

Since a mod is already going to be needed for this game - if anyone has a mod that fixes a known verified bugs and has been tested - post the link here so we can include it in the "all-in-one" mod.

We'd be glad to have you but just remember: sign-ups are only "certified" once I receive (via email or PM) your nation preference list (even if you don't have a preference) and your password.

Wow, possibly 50ish if we are waiting on a couple to turn in their passwords and preferences, this is going to be a fun game

Yep, and we still have 6 days left for sign-ups! It's not out of the realm of possibility that we fill up. I have three people who have expressed interest and still waiting on one password...

I cant decide, give me a random nation. I like the sound of that population bonus.

I don't know. I thought the random pick meant that you were willing to take literally any nation in exchange for the population bonus of being last seed. Otherwise someone who chose all random might get the pick of someone who just chose 1 (which defies the meaning of a pick).

If you really don't want to get stuck with a bad nation, make a list of every nation and put the worst ones at the bottom. Your chances of getting one will be next to nill (especially if everyone else chose ~4 favorites).
