We're ready to go! Ry Vor, if you think the idea I floated about positions 10-12 on this makes sense, I'm sure LD could probably implement it pretty easily... I think it might help future games fill more quickly. No worries if you'd rather not. Thanks.

[IMPERIAL_TARK]

To what person/e-mail are we sending kingdom preferences? LD? And I'm fine with HH's suggestion on the last three kingdoms.

[Diamond Cutter]

I don't need/want a chivalry bonus. Thanks.

[HeadHoncho]

Revising to remove DC's chivalry bonus. And I think we're waiting on the go-ahead from Ry Vor (and if he wants to try the slight benefit for players 10-12) before sending in picks to LD.

Seems like convenience more than benefit unless I am misunderstanding.
If I were player 10, 11, or 12, I would submit my top 10, 11 or 12 choices, getting the highest kingdom unchosen.
If you tell me which 9 are taken, I just remove those from my list, but still it is my same list in my same order, right?

[HeadHoncho]

No, because you can pick a bit more strategically since you know what's been selected and what's left over, so you can increase the chances of getting a Kingdom that doesn't share a region (important for those last two picks, especially).

But at least you can sign up for the game knowing you'll get your pick. If you are player 9, you might want to play the AN, but there's a good chance it will be off the table. But if you are #10, you can see what's left on the board and decide if you want to play one of those remaining kingdoms knowing you'll get your pick.

Also, what DuPont just said.

Not a master but it might sway you on choice of DW or TR depending on what was already picked.
