Subject: When I grow up I want to be... a Troll?
Somehow that doesn't seem too common a request - but in this game you never know! Here is our final 19. Since we have a little time to kill, we can sit here and twiddle our thumbs, or we can bake some Haven Holiday treats, or we can turn in some preferences!
So I'm going to go w option 3. I don't in most games, but in this one so many have already voiced an opinion on what they'd like to play that I'll open it up to prefs. Each player should (ok, must - but I just hate laying down the law like that!) turn in a set of prefs, even if your preference is "I'd rather leave my future civilization which I will henceforth lead from infancy to world domination in the hands of the fates"... you should still turn something in.
If you would like your preferences to be more particular than that, you should turn in a list of at least 5. You can use the first letter of the civ name, each one starts with something different... like A E I O U... if your pref is to play the Archers, Elves, Ogres, Undead... or if you just have a liking for vowels. Note that would only be 4, not 5, since I is invalid, and I'd have to write you back a nasty letter requesting you pick a 5th one, thereby expanding your horizons beyond those of just vowels.
There's a lot of eager energy here, do you want me to assign powers and send out the player list pre-Christmas? I can do that if y'all want. First deadline still wouldn't be till Jan. I would only do this if everyone confirms they're ok w this and wouldn't be put out or left behind.
Note - some of you I know well, others are completely new. So intros are welcome too! Feel free to copy the group. Heck it'll pass the time. Like you know what I do in my spare time? I build w LEGOs. No - really. Some pretty big scale stuff.
Enjoy!
