I'll move them to this thread from now on for easier visibility

Clearly you haven't seen me fight! Wait...
Never underestimate the Murder Hobos
There are three groups with pending applicants who, if only they'd check in and approve them, would improve their selection-order by three, five, and seven places. It's the power, in this first week, of one or two votes.

The Lawful one is the only one that surprises me, and not very much.

T7V Jazzlvraz wrote: Caldeathe Baequiannia wrote: My maple syrup strategy seems to be failing me. No. 2 Amber never fails! You've got nine more weeks :-). I find it hard to believe there aren't a couple of holdouts in the wings, waiting to scramble their team into the top 33 at the last minute.
I'm pretty sure we'll see it happen, but perhaps not this first week. 64 minutes to go, though.
The bottom of the field has shifted again, with Elkhaven moving up from 33rd to 26th place.
That's one small step for an elf, that's one giant leap for elven kind.
I'm rooting for you !!
And Dagedai's alliance has slipped ahead of Aragon.
Theodum looks at the independant keeper of notes.
Useful this elf, useful. I will have to keep an eye open on this one as his notes will be used in my grand chronicle of these realms.
That should be it for this draft.
Caldeathe nods to the visitor and clears some space at the table for him.
"Welcome. The spirits are just closing the door on the events of the week, and I don't expect we'll have much news till well past sunrise, but there are plenty of seats, and a pot of vegetable stew on the hearth."
"I hope you don't mind if an old pathfinder pulls up a chair, waits with you all?"
Damocles places an impressive bag of Pathfinder Chronicles down. "I figured these might come in handy, they're a collection on political processes and land grants both here and abroad. They might give us some guidance on the process."

Locked against editing
* There is a chance that orders may change on entries that have a tie, as the guild numbers are not necessarily 100% in alignment with the order they were submitted.
Thanks for the space at your table. You still have to learn a lot! - In the last moment he bites down the 'young lad' that is on his tongue - this after all being an elf'
History is written slowly - it has happened around us for a while now. This moment if just a snapshot - it needs what has happened before and will feed into what will come - otherwise it won't make sense.
Yes - one day we will claim it was this precise moment when history was written - well - that might be the case because I have 'written' it - but to be able to chronicle this precise moment in time I have been watching for the build up and even afterwards I will have to make inquiries and check my facts to ensure what I write is as precise as possible.
Yes - there is power in this quill - power that one day might lay the first stone to a kingdom to be build - or causes the first cracks in a kingdom to crumble.
Theodum nods to the newcomer. His eyes light up when he sees the chronicles.
Thanks - these are very useful. The history as written will never be perfectly accurate and objective. Dictators employ chroniclers to ensure history is written in the way they like. Sometimes it works - sometimes it doesn't. It depends if these stories are picked up - as other scribes pay less attention to these 'bought' scribes.
At the same time it is easy to copy - easier as to write yourself - so much too often a misguided history finds it's way into the books.
The more subtle way is to have a chronicler in high esteem and feed him information - sometimes that can buy you what gold never would be able to.
"Good elf, while that might be true that knowledge can be slow, some have been....gifted....by the gods, gifted with supernatural insight. This gift has come in handy many a time, and I believe it will come in handy again now."
Sheesh, 5 guilds that were 1 vote away from landing a week 1 draft. That is gonna sting. Lots of room for maneuvering next week though!
Was an interesting run up to now, will probably be even more interesting in the coming weeks when we see the reactions people have to their neighbors.
Nothing is certain... nothing is safe.
"And each of us, despite the best of intentions, colours our work with our own perceptions and prejudices. I'm afraid many of my own chronicles will never again be seen by anyone who could make sense of them."

Five only missed out because they they didn't apply soon enough. Losing a spot to someone with one more vote than you isn't as bad as loosing a spot to someone because they set up their banner an hour earlier.
And so many more of them could have been part of something if there'd been a way to contact them.
Rats we have one pending, missed the time limit...... Maybe. I doubt the 8th (5th) slot has same first choice as ourselves.

Well it is called a land-rush. It's not quite the same as traveling west as fast as you can to plan a flag in the ground before someone else, but it is pretty comparable.
@Bluddwolf that is what we were hoping for Aragon the whole time you have been ahead of us. ;)
Our top pick is in SW, you?

Not there, so as far as we both know our first picks are safe. Once the announcement and all of the picks are known, let the negotiations begin!
I'm at work so unless they post the results here, I won't know until I can access GW site. Even then, The Goodfellow will get the official notice, he started the settlement.

LOL, we thought about it
Are there going to be a total of 30 or 33 settlements?
30 settlements are being given out in this one. But 3 of the top 5 are not eligible for a home so people in the top 33 will be getting a home.

Phantasmagoria just got an icon.
The importance of that - they have been the only guild in the top 33 (according to my bookkeeping - there are multiple ties at 6) who didn't have one.
The Lion Council - also 6 but behind Phantasmorgia still doesn't have an icon.
First signs something is happening at GW behind the scenes.

It depends on when the guild was formed, that is how ties are broken. No conspiracy theory.
Phantasmorgia is one of the early ones.
THIS JUST IN
There is no new news. Gah, get back to your jobs people. Wait 15 minutes they're settlements they aren't going to wander off.
I'm glad to know that Phanstasmagoria, my guild, finally got its icon. :)
The next few weeks will be interesting...
Presumably the 9:00AMers at GW on PDT will be starting work in a few minutes. With a bit of luck, we're a bit over an hour away from some news.
Sadly for me, I have to go do some real life stuff. I hope people will keep this thread active, and, more importantly, be nice to each other. If we don't, who will?
Good luck everybody, and catch you in a while.
It was up for a sec. I saw where some were.

There's a sick toddler in the mix, so if it's more than 15 minutes, please nobody completely lose it. Toddlers trump...everything.
