***Update: Close Out of VotingIn the interest of moving things along, I am going to close out the voting. We got all but 2 of the people who posted a list to vote- as well as a few others. All the lists received some love, but these are the few that rose to the top:
1 Fandir’s List #7
2-Tied Sammay’s List #6
2-Tied HHG’s List #10
3 SevenS #4
4 Grifter #5
Since we have a tie for the number 2 slot, I have made the command decision to go with Sammay’s list instead of mine for three reasons:
--Sammay’s list differs from the other winner (Fandir’s list) in ways that will give us a better comparison/contrast for the simultaneous battles during this TDG
--I would like to promote the list creators into semi-leadership positions… and I can’t fill that role myself while I am running the TDG and concentrating on the bad guys
--Sammay hasn’t voted yet. Based on the assumption he would vote for his own list, that puts him over the top on the vote anyway!
So, with all that being said- congratulations to Sammay and Fandir for your excellent contributions and your lists being chosen to represent Empire in TDG 2.0! 
The Next StepBefore I launch TDG 2.1 and our next set of decisions, I want to finalize our “teams” and the lists.
First off, I went through the votes and separated the voters into two groups- ones that voted Fandir’s list higher in their spread, and ones that voted Sammay’s list higher in their spread. Unless you tell me differently, you are going to be in the team you rated higher than the other when you voted.
Here is how it currently looks:
Fandir’s Team: The Blue Team
Fandir (of course)
Wind
Zif
SevenS
Mott
George
Graz
Sammay’s Team: The Green Team
Sammay (by default!)
Harsh
Noght
Grifter
Dnic
Friar
Woj
A rehash on my team member rules:
--If you are on a team, you can only vote in that team’s decisions
--If you are not on a team, you can vote in both
--Team member votes are worth 2 points
--Non-team member votes are worth 1 point
--From now on:
--If I am talking to both teams, the text will be in black
--If I am referring to Fandir’s Blue Team,
the text will be in blue --If I am referring to Sammay’s Green Team,
the text will be in green--If I put you on a team, but you won’t be getting on frequently enough (
every couple of days) to participate, then let me know and I will pull you off the team
If you are lurking or haven’t voted yet (like Zak) and you want to join a team, then let me know right away.
One sticking point we may have right up front: Sammay is currently working on his dissertation and may not be available enough for me to ping if I have questions about his team. If he indicates this is the case, I will need someone else from his team to step up and be available to do that for me (
please wait to volunteer until he lets us know his situation).
--------------------------
What I want to do now while we are waiting for people to join/shift/leave teams is final list tweaking.
The way I see it, the lists will stand
as is unless several team members can convince their team leader that a change needs to be made and the team leader agrees. Please do this openly on the thread if necessary (
with diplomacy and tact in the front of your mind…you are team mates for Sigmar’s sake!)
To get you prepared for TDG 2.1, I want you to start thinking about your list and its possibilities (
don’t post on this yet, I just want you to start thinking about this).
In 2.1, I am going to present you with the terrain, the scenario, and the enemy list. What I am going to be looking for in return is several things:
--Your team’s basic strategy
--Your team’s approach (aggressive, wait-and-see, defensive, etc)
--Your team’s deployment strategy and friendly/enemy unit match-ups you are trying to achieve
