Yes, good point. Once your tribe is chosen, the rest of your picks are not to be taken into account. You would get the Netherlands.

My thoughts exactly ^^

Ha ha too late, I got a pretty good nights sleep last night

[conmcb25]

Ok what are you going to do if everyone puts the Germans first?

And the Mongols second?

Who get priority on the choice?????

[Rommel2D]

Everyone has ten picks and no two lists will be identical. If three or more players manage to duplicate at every level (a statistical outlier I'd think), conflicts will be randomly resolved starting with the tenth pick and moving up.

Kloreep, snoopy, and I have our picks ready. I was leaving the PMs untouched in my box so anyone could see from their end they were unviewed, but I just found out the PM link from ApolytonPlus takes you directly into the newest message, so yours was opened by mistake snoopy.

Ok - and here is my list. Ooops. Did I get the instructions wrong?

(PM'ing to Rommel)

And you know - the game might be somewhat anticlimactic after a start such as this.

No doubt. But I am really curious as to how the civ assignment is going to work out.

[conmcb25]

I like the lab puppy best so far.

I got a lab at home.

The CIV choices dont matter anymore.

It now is the process improvement we have to go thru to make it better for next time

Thanks con - he is pretty cute, ain't he. August is dog month.

So - what would you change in the process? Actually - once I figured out what was going on, I'm fairly intrigued. Then again - when I end up with the Russians I will be right there beside you pushing for process improvement.

I now have tribe picks from everyone except Mickeyj.

Once I have his picks, I will generate one game for each possible distribution of tribes according to the various ranking configurations. We will then play out the first 20 turns of these 10^5 games and proceed to vote for each of them with wieghted preferences. The top 10 games will be played until 2000 BC, at which point Sid Meier will be called upon to pick his favorite among the lot. The final save will then be bronzed and sent to the Smithsonian Institute to be admired by generations to come...

Mj, we're waitin' on U!!!
