Maybe 3 weeks left until the map is ready to go, if everything goes smoothly (and when has a map ever been ready ahead of schedule)? So call it a week per pick phase and that is likely to line up.
I think this is still basically accurate; we're making progress on the map, but there's still a lot to do. Given the timestamp on Mardoc's post, the players who haven't made their calls yet still have about two more days to decide.

I believe these five are the only ones who haven't yet chosen:
Boldly Going Nowhere
Donovan Zoi
Gavagai
Shallow Old Human Tourist
spacetyrantxenu
Please correct me if I'm wrong in either direction!

Hi Ref, mine has been locked in. Sorry if it wasn't clear. Thanks!

Oops - sorry we missed that, Donovan! You were actually completely clear; one of us just copy/pasted when we should have cut/pasted somewhere along the line, so we had you on our "has already picked" and "hasn't picked yet" lists simultaneously. My apologies!
So that just leaves Boldy, Gavagai, and Xenu.

Don't even worry about it! I appreciate all the work the map team is undertaking to get this game started

Well Boldly is probably mourning his dawgs. Gavagai and Xenu, what's up?

I just haven't been in a hurry once Mardoc posted they'd need about three weeks to get the map going. I put my anticipation on hold. The last thing I need to do is get all excited about this and then be disappointed in overtime when the map isn't ready and we get a sack and really start to believe THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN and the mapmakers are facing long odds and it looks like I may win and then oh my god what the fuck did Saban do now we can't go on living like this it's all over etc.
The weeping and lamentations of our women is only surpassed at this time by the weeping and lamentations of our men. A once proud people have been reduced by the Football Gods to a gibbering, catatonic mess.
I'll make my picks tonight but it won't stop Saban. Or Belichick. The Dark Side is very strong.

I am apparently your evil football twin: From Georgia, but a Tech and Pats fan... may all you hold dear turn to naught but bitter ash

I'm definitely declaring a jihad on dtay as soon as I meet him in game. Demon (Patriot) worship is not to be tolerated. GT is ok though.
On picks I'll post something soon, been busy on a project this week instead of thinking about the game.
Edit: Also, you can't be BGN's evil twin as that's my job description.
