    1 - Waiting on Zim to OK the rules editing.

    2 - KotR mod should be in workable order quickly once Rowan puts his hands in it and creates an installer like in LotR

    3 - Enough RGB are now recruitable to allow 45 RGBs on turn 1 (which should leave about ~25-30 surplus to take a dive into the channel)

    4 - No hiccups have been detected that I could find after having played (hitting end turn only and playing one or two battles) 30 turns approx.

    5 - Zim's work.

    Just an observation but tomorrow is France National Day which celebrates the fall of the Bastille in Paris 220 years ago which finally lead to the beheading of King Louis the XIVth and Marie-Antoinette...

    I'm not sure it is an omen I like...

    Exactly

    Great!

    So should we still have an RGB draft (which could take more time), or is it going to be first come first serve (shorter but less fair)?

    I think Zim wanted it as a draft which could be accomplished in a matter of 2-3 days... We could be up and running this WE at the earliest....

    The LotR draft took one week, but there were more players at the start and there was no pre-assignment of the starting avatars. I would expect 5 days to complete the draft for KotF.

    So, what, this is like the NBA draft? Anyone want to trade me for a first round draft pick?

    This is what the draft looked like in LotR. This time around the existing French nobility has already been handed out, so we'll just be selecting the RGBs that will be spawned at the beginning of 1081.

    Hmmm, would it be possible to have the draft occur at the same time we're doing the final revision of the rules?

    Sorry if I'm belaboring this or stating the obvious , but I'm thinking out loud to ensure we're not missing anything.

    On a technical level, the draft can start as soon as an official 1081 save game has been created with the avatars spawned. If we want the draft to go faster, someone will have to take and post mugshots of all the starting avatars. Otherwise people will have to load up the game to see who they want, which will restrict some people from being able to pick if their turn comes up while they can access the web, but can't load the game (i.e. from a work computer).

    I'll take care of posting the mugshots and all that. Actually, I'm going to get the draft thread ready right now.

    Very possible, although I do need to try to get that age mod working first (starting on it now) before we can get through turn one.

    I would really like an installation thread posted.

    This is the same as the last two games.

    If just one person doesn't follow the process and get a good install we will shaft ourselves.

    We need a guide and a control point to ensure a good clean start on everyone's computer.
