I think 7 areas is a good idea. We are getting closer. Another strong mentor would be nice. Tark you have done well in team games before and you are a great teacher. Up you up for another one?

Still need two?

I agree with Draugh.

How about ranking by players irregardless to Mentor Status. Therefore the # 1 rated player gets the # 12 player, # 2 gets # 11, #3 gets 10, and #4 gets 9. At this point all teams are balanced at 13 points. If 1 or more of the top 4 rankings is a Mentor fine. The lesser ranked Mentors could then have die roll to place them with a team lacking a Mentor. Say Draugh is the only top 4 Mentor. The 3 non top 4 rated would then be placed with the team by the existing players rating. Highest rated pair gets lowest ranked mentor and then so on till all 4 teams are full. This may be somewhat imperfect, but closer than a random placement.
The only exception would be if the rankings placed 2 mentors together. Say I as a Mentor was ranked #12, then I could not be placed with Draugh(assuming he is #1) or any other top 4 player who is also a Mentor. Could be a 2 11 mentor match?

I hate to do this, I think I may have been a little over zealous when I threw my hat in the ring for this game. I'm out of communication for the first full week in June (can't believe April is almost here) and if the game goes that long then I'd be messing my team over by missing however many turns would transpire during that time....again, sorry.

You could let a team mate cover down on your turn for a couple weeks? But it’s no biggie buddy.. Smile

I would like the teams to be decided first, then the kingdoms drafted.

Mad I have had this happen to me in a team game when I went away on vacation and I just gave my team access to my account. They did a couple of turns while I was away and then you reset your password when you return. It is really a seamless operation and works very well.

Let’s get two or three more people and then make our teams of players.

Sounds like a plan. Let's go Alamaze players. We need two more brave souls willing to head into the breach! Ry Vor is even giving us a free setup.

Teams formed first and then draft kingdoms of course.
