All right, it sounds like people are in favor of this. So, my feeling is
that we should start splitting up as soon as possible. Thus far we have the
following participants who have committed to playing:
Shaun S.
Eric K.
Dave E.
Jorge F.
Suz R.
Joe C.
Is there anybody I'm forgetting who is already planning on coming?
And now, for the tough part. How do we select/assign teams? I am
officially removing myself from any decision-making/captaining capacity on
this score ... so, we need a brave soul to determine how it's going to be
done. Two ideas:
(a) random - somebody just places names in a hat and pulls them out.
Additional participants are then randomly assigned as they commit to the
date.
(b) captains - we did this last time, and it went pretty well. Jorge and
Dave were the captains, if I recall correctly. Well, there was one small
setback with Neil experiencing high school gym flashbacks, but since he
wasn't the last selected everything was ironed out by the time the game
started.
I'm envisioning some brave soul simply posting a message saying, "I did the
random assignments, here are the teams ..." or "I designate x and y [x and y
possibly including the poster his/herself] as the captains, start choosing."
That is, I'm *praying* for someone to take the bull by the proverbials and
make a decision. This is, after all, the dark ages ... democracy isn't an
option ;) So get out your best monarchistic dictatorial voice and tell us
serfs what to do ...
