Hey all,
Your Civs have their New Years resolutions ready to go? “I will not club other races on the head”… “I will refrain from fluttering about in creatures ears”… “I will always turn in prelims”…
That last one is my recommendation. It’s never too early to turn in prelims!
“What’s a prelim?” You may ask…
Well… a pre-lim is not what comes before a post-lim. Rather, it’s the orders you turn in, before you know what you really want to order, just to have something turned in! It’s your first instinct on what to order… so that later, when you get called away on last minute business, or you stub your toe and have to go to the hospital, or your dog eats your computer… or aliens land in your back yard, abduct your cat, and you run off on a whirlwind quest to galaxies far far away to rescue him from the evil Vogons… then before you know it, the deadline passes and your units all hold – but NO… you turned in prelims! You’re covered. Woohoo! Two thumbs WAY up! So you can heal your toe, extract your computer, rescue your cat, and save the galaxy, knowing all the time you’ve got a backup turned in.
Yeah.
Anyways.
You get the idea.
About half of you have turned in at least something. Everyone should!
Enjoy!
And may all your races prosper in the new year…

Ok folks here we go!
The only race not requested by anyone... was... The Magicians. Who go to one of the lucky "give me what's left" players.
Of which, there were only two!
The other unpopular ones were the Barbarians and Undead, which only made one list each.
The most requested? Well the Dwarves are no surprise, but we had a tie... with the Leprechauns! I found that interesting. Those two made 8 lists, including being the first choice on 4. The Ogres and Dwarves were tied for the most popular 1st pick, being the first pick for 3 people each.
All the rest not noted above made 4, 5, or 6 lists, so pretty balanced for the rest of them.
Now on to our lineup! It wasn't easy, but everyone got one of their top 3 picks. 9 got their top 1. 3 got their 2nd. 5 got their 3rd. 2 had no pref.
