The critters in the lower-left look a bit like those...whatchamacallems from the other Build a Village game. Let's call them Ridgebacks. They certainly match the name.

The deer will be named a Silver Doe by the goblin who came up with a name first. Plenty of time to name while chopping trees.

Wood-Cutter, Scouts: Keep it up!

Middle dwarves: Grab picks, begin harvesting ore from rocks.
Dwarf by rock: Haul ore to goods stockpile.
Axegoblin: Hurry back for some food with which to tame a Ridgeback.

Katelyn continues her girly-ish montage until, presumably, about an hour has passed.

Ooh, missed that. Sorry.

You return to Lyle's door after an hour.

((Maybe I should be named Smaug for now?))

((When/Where was the final description of the form you took posted? Or was it assumed you succeeded?))

((What would you say the "average" or at least commonest belief is? As a former Christian myself, I'm pretty sure that the one I said is such. And that that's what's in the Bible.

I'm also pretty sure that this isn't much like any Christian's idea of what Hell is.))

No, you will not get to autoclaim two picks in a row when you had all the time in the world to make your choices, while everybody else was slapping F5 legitimately, it entirely undermines the point of posting fastest. You are subject to the same rules and circumstances as everybody else, and tried to circumvent the rules via a loophole, and are now even asking the GM of the tournament to logicaly rebuke your reasoning as to why you deserve special treatment?

No.

Make a different pick, or this becomes a 3 vs 3

It's not that I'm ignoring the rules, it's that those rules were poorly-explained.
And what makes you think that anyone was refreshing the page constantly? That's an awfully high opinion you have of your little game.

Frankly, that whole idea of "First to post their pick gets it!" was a bit...jarring. Everything else, we knew who was picking ahead of time. But this one...free-for-all!

We're going to have to redo the round now that the rule's established.

Ideally with a different rule.

didn't occur to him to ask though, very convenient.

Hey, Akroma, do I get to pick my Pokemon?
Hey, Akroma, can I pick a Pokemon twice?
Hey, Akroma, are we counting by time online or time since joining?
Hey, Akroma, can I pick a Pokemon someone else picked?
Hey, Akroma, am I allowed to give my Pokemon items?
Hey, Akroma, do I get to choose my Pokemons' gender?
Hey, Akroma, do I get to pick their moves?
Hey, Akroma, are TMs allowed?
(Imagine I typed a bunch more because I'm getting sick of this and I think I made my point.)

Hey, Akroma, why the heck would I waste time asking a question about how the TIMED PICKING ROUND works?

not the word "abuse". I was slapping out a 2-minute idea for a small battle and tada, people immediatly pick out loopholes to abuse the rules that were written in less than 2 minutes, and then I get blamed for not making them an airtight legal document? For daring to try and defend the rules from being abused? That's my job.

Oh, sorry, you're right, it's unreasonable to expect you to think things through. And even more so that we asked you to think through the unlikely scenario of someone posting in the round before

You can hardly blame me for your lack of forethought.

Yeah, so?

(Also, it was more of a "Threat evaluated to be worth spending MP on" thing.)
