New Anonymous Steel

[Harry O]

I'll vote for pagan.

[HeadHoncho]

We have a majority voting for Pagan at this point. I know SVC may indeed cut the game shorter than the T50 slugfest people might have been initially thinking about, but it will still be an interesting exercise... trying new things can be fun. And remember that the new SVC is not as easy as some of the old Kingdom-specific SVC conditions.

[Ry Vor]

I could be talked out of the SVC this game because a check on the SVC was the HP order to Divine Secret Intentions.  With no HP, that goes away.  So in this special format, we could go without SVC if the players want.

[Harry O]

I've never cared for SVC so I'm fine with getting rid of it.

[Beatific]

Get rid of it.

[Jumpingfist]

Rex only

Pretty sure LT already voted for that as well.

[Jumpingfist]

Of course we still need a few more players.

[HeadHoncho]

With my vote now to go with the flow, we have a majority for Rex only. LT, are you in? If so, that would mean we only need TWO MORE PLAYERS to launch this! (Again, don't send preferences until after we have our twelve players locked and loaded.)

How does kingdom selection occur in this sort of format?  Is draft order scrambled or is there some other factor?  I have heard some suggest "first come, first served" but that creates a major disincentive to join games later in the forming process.  I have heard others that draft order is randomized, which is ok, I guess.....certainly fair on an even playing field.  I WOULD suggest least experienced first, but that is admittedly self serving .  So, I just ask the question.
