I sent out a PM. Not sure what's going on and work has kept me busy so I apologize for just getting around to it.

Also Pythium (that's me) is the pretender nation for our team.

[E. Albright]

What's the status, everyone? Aside from another interloper (Vanheim this teim) showing up for me to delete, I mean? Any word on where our last three outstanding pretenders sit? I have a fond - albeit perhaps unrealistic - dream of starting this weekend...

Oh, and would I be correct in assuming that Arco is team three's pretender?

[gman8181]

I didn't get any response to the pm I sent out to my team. Just FYI, Shadowgandor is the missing player in question for Bandar.

[Il Palazzo]

Jesus, you're still not set up?

I'm a bit less pressed for time these days, so give us a shout if you need a replacement.

[Margrave]

Oh, and would I be correct in assuming that Arco is team three's pretender?

You are correct there, Arco is the pretender but we still haven't heard anything at all from lavenders2. A week is a long time but I'll leave that up to everyone else if they want a sub to replace them. We mostly have the game plan in place(albeit a really rough one) but I still would rather not submit until we have a consensus from a full team.

If you need a sub I could jump back in. My time is freer now, and since you already have a rough plan things should go a lot smoother. Honestly I think that a lot of the problem with Culise/Lavenders/Me is that none of us were experienced, so were all rather hesitant about planning. Or at least I was, I'm probably wrong or something. Either way I'm here and willing to sub in if needed.

[E. Albright]

Well, we have two AWOLs and two volunteers, though if they step it it'll wreck havoc on my careful (yet probably ultimately futile) efforts to balance the teams. If the two teams in question want to cut their losses and dole out Il Palazzo and USEC_OFFICER, I'm completely fine with that. More than "fine", really. I'll put the final decision with Teams 3 and 4, but it would be soooooo nice to finally start this thing...

[Karlito]

My fear of Palazzo is about balanced out with my desire to finally crush him once and for all (hahahaha!), so I think I'm fine with whatever starts the game soonest.

[E. Albright]

Allow me to be slightly less passive. If we haven't heard from our AWOLs in a week now, I very strongly encourage their teams to avail themselves to the available subs. I'd say Il Palazzo to team 3 and USEC_OFFICER back to team 4, but I don't know if Il Palazzo wants to play Bandar Log again. However, I would like to start playing by Monday. That would be Nice. So if the teams want to wait longer for their missing players, I'd say we could wait the weekend, then sub, but at this point I'd rather just sub now, and unless there are strong objections that's the course I'd prefer we take.

(Hey, I did say slightly less passive.)

[gman8181]

I'm not sure how we'd set this up then... I'm not exactly that experienced or good at Dominions and only moved myself into the leadership role on my team out of sheer necessity of me being the only one who had some semblance of a plan. That said, I don't really know what would be fairest with Palazzo involved. If he were to join my team, I'd certainly prefer for him to take the role of pretender and have myself moved down to a disciple, which would change things up a bit.

Edit:
Bandar is part of team 4 not team 3. I'm okay with playing Bandar and having the other player go in as Pythium if that helps. I'm actually pretty fond of Bandar anyway.

[Karlito]

Or not, you know. Use whichever nation that gives you the most advantage in the role of pretender. I'm "Team Captain" or whatever for good ol' #2, but Ulm is but a lowly disciple nation.

[E. Albright]

Oops, right, BL IS team 3, not team 4. I had my numbers backwards. USEC_OFFICER to team 3, and Il Palazzo to team 4. And yeah, like Karlito said, "team captain" is an ill-defined, amorphous metarole; there need be no corrospondence between pretenders and team leaders/spokepeople/stratergizers/whipping boys/what-have-yous. Each team is quite free to arrange that however they feel fit. Likewise with who plays which of your nations - if you need to switch that up prior to starting, just lemme know and I'll switch the national email addresses as needed.

[gman8181]

Shadowgandor just replied today saying he's still interested in playing and will have his pretender submitted by Monday.

[Margrave]

Then we have an opening still, basically whomever wants it the most gets it as far as I am concerned.

Shoot me and tompliss a PM when you get the chance, possible teammate, so we can finalize plans and sort out who is Marge or Arco.

[Il Palazzo]

I'm willing to give the spot to USEC_OFFICER, but then again he might say the same thing. How about you guys decide which one is better to keep the skill/experience balance.
