Everyone needs to have their land rush information in by midnight PDT. Results will be available probably some time around 10AM PDT Monday morning. Pretty much as fast as I can get them done in the morning (I currently have a sick toddler at home so I need to be there, not in the office until 2AM). The results so far are very interesting; we're going to have more conflicts than I expected!

the imminent conflicts?
I know you didn't mean "us guys", but here goes: it's easy to imagine some Guild leaders thinking "okay, our top three picks are really our TOP THREE, and all the rest are "oh ghod, we're dhoomed". It's also kinda easy to cast an eye around the map and see some sites that'll be high on several, perhaps many, lists; I look forward to conversations we have in coming weeks about people's thought-processes about their selections.

Thanks Lee. I hope that your little one feels better soon. :(

I know that when Golgotha was deciding our picks, we went top 5, top 10... Bottom 5... What else can we fill in the middle? I wonder how common that was.
Are we going to get to see the pick orders of every group? I would love to see a heat map of the most common picks. Where the general community is putting its eggs.

Aragon Did something similar. Top and bottom 5 first, to determine the ones we wanted and didn't want at all. Then went 5-10 and 20-25 and then the middle 10. Breaking it up made it easier IMHO.

Seeing the decision making of Aeturnum after they had decided where to go (I kept myself out during), I could see why. Being on that crossroad has potential. My only concern would me how far their food is. Cut them off using the road, and they could be in trouble.
Fun times ahead!

Yup. It's a little bit difficult to make absolute statements quite yet, which was something I found frustrating. Even knowing the relative safety of roads changes a lot. We know that it isn't complete safety, but not much more, unless I missed something. Next few days are going to be fun.

What can you do. We are all probably going to see our settlement fall at least once anyway. I'm using this as a learning experience. Build up information in preparation for grabbing the next one.
Unless Golgotha takes over the entire world that is. Bwuhahaha.
If this happens you'll see all good aligned characters lined up on the "edge of the world" before the next hex expansion. Just consider what that might look like.

Hey now, Good people can live under Golgotha! You just have to be willing to lay us some gold... And maybe sacrifice a few first born.

They'd get to keep the second? Maybe you guys aren't so bad.

Oh no, the second is conscripted into the military. The third is sent to the salt mines. The fourth gets to help haul my personal collection of green hats from town to town.
You can keep the fifth one though!
But at that point, the 5th becomes the 1st again. And the cycle begins anew

What incomplete information. Did I miss another announcement. Did the Emerald Spire move ??
What other information was there to be needed?
Joking - but I have to admit after writing the background what we try to achieve it felt liberating as the top choices did fall into place.

Results won't be in till 7pm CEST - 6 BST, so you have time to enjoy that dumpling status.
And to echo what some above have said (and say what I should have said first): I hope your child gets better soon, Lee; we all understand that family is way more important than this game, so take - as I'm sure you will - all the time you need.

G&#+*+nit, is it another hour yet? Times are difficult...
Two hours? Well fiddles, clearly I can't do... Oh. Right. East Coast is 6 hours. East Coast.
Well don't I look like a silly dumpling?
Mmmm dumpllllllliiiiiiings.
Almost as good as Poutine. Which happens to be the Sunday night special at the Golden Gravy Tavern in Elkhaven...
Cast your vote Here for the Uniquely Canadian Settlement: Elkhaven in the landrush!

This should be a really interesting process as the weeks roll on. With well over 100 guilds/companies in the list, and only 30ish slots, deals will be made, numbers will change. Aside from the mandatory scheduled work every Sunday (from the guild/company leadership) and on Monday getting the list up (by GW), this should be a really cool evolution of settlement creation.
