Yep, I guess that's it. Let's wait Sareln back and finish the time table and decide whether it is 5 or 6 points. Then maybe pindicator or commoder can just throw one name who starts picking. (but not before we now the play order)

[Viqsi]

So, what I've got then is something like this;

Hydra - 0230 GMT
Azza - 1200 GMT
Visqi - 1730 GMT
Fintourist - 2100 GMT

Does that look right? Once we have Sareln's preferred slot, we'll be able to get a turn order. Are we going to use the Vets' pick order of whoever rolls as being first in the turn order is last for both rounds of picking? It seems we're happy using Seven's proposal, but I'm not sure that increasing the points to 6 is a good idea. It'd allow EXP + India/Inca, and FIN + Vikings/Dutch, which I suspect were deliberately prevented. If everyone's ok with 6 I won't mind, but I think 5 points is better balanced.

I'm not too terribly concerned about the point value. I qualify as "okay with 6" but it's not a deal-breaker.

For chit-chattery, are we going with a banter thread and AI diplo?

(Also, q before s. It's a common error. )

I'm fine with either five or six; Sian and I have already done planning for six, but we can adapt.

We might as well go with a banter thread and AI diplo; that seems to be the way most everyone is leaning.

Then it's definitely five!

Just kidding, I'm fine with anything. I'm totally lost regardless of the system.

[Sareln]

After a quick read:

Preferred Timeslots: Either 21:00 PST (+8 -> 0:500 GMT) or 07:00 PST (+8 -> 15:00 GMT)

So either between Hydra and Azza, or Azza and Viqsi.

I'm fine with either of AI or Banter.

5 Points, definitely.

[Sareln]

Also is IND 1 or 2 points for us?

[Fintourist]

Also is IND 1 or 2 points for us?

I believe it's 2 since no wonders are banned.

[Sareln]

Do we know enough now to generate the pick order and get to picking?

[Azza]

So we've got an order of
Hydra
Sareln
Azza
Viqsi
Fintourist

I think all we need is someone to randomly select who goes first in the turn order, and then we can start picking.
