While we're waiting here is the list of teams in the order I'd least like to start next to them:
Anyway, BRick, do with this what you will...
Just please don't rush, I'm sure Fintourist will be back soon 
- Krill/Sevenspirits (Team) -
why is this allowed? - [Edit: It isn't! Wahay! 
]
- Commodore/Kurumi (Team) -
please god no!
- Plako (Solo) -
is a merciless civ machine who'll sniff out our weakness and crush us.
- Bigger/Lewwyn/Qgqqqqq (Team) -
ANGRY! If they're nearby lets just be really quiet 
- Serdoa (Solo) -
capable of whipping an enormous army at the drop of a hat and crushing anyone. Show no fear, back away slowly and whatever you do: Don't. Look. Away.
- Pindicator/scooter (Team) -
probably won't go all out to destroy us, at least until they're at least two tiers ahead in tech.
- Ichabod/Wetbandit (Team) -
one of the best writers on the site must be one of the better players. No idea about Ichabod though 
- Nakor/CFCJesterfool (Team) -
if we just try not to act like a deity AI we might just stand a chance...
- Slowwcheetah (Solo) -
I've no idea really, sorry, only this high for his score in pb8.
- dtay/Retep (Team)(1st game) -
although Retep has started pb11 very well
- Bacchus/Cheater Hater (Team) -
no idea about Bacchus, but CH has kept Gillette on the straight and narrow when I've got buried in detail, we'll see if he can do the same here.
- suttree (Solo) -
seems pretty sharp on the forum, no idea if that translates to civ?
- Azza (Solo) -
a decent enough guy who just can't stop getting rushed. Is it our turn this time?
- WilliamLP (Solo) - don't tell anyone, but you know how Lord Parkin has been quiet recently?
- Jowy (Solo or team) - I don't think he's got a great grasp on the mechanics, although he has more MP experience than us so we'll have to see which is more important...
- Yuris (Solo) - if he'd ever written more than ten posts in a spoiler thread we'd have some idea of how he plays, so I'd like to start next to him just to find out
Anyway, BRick, do with this what you will...
Just please don't rush, I'm sure Fintourist will be back soon
