A double, almost twenty-point lead already on the first round!

Congrats!

Well, Curufin's captaincy = 22 points...

Silmaril Hmmm.
Gwath should've been in the lead (only by five pts, but still.)

And Nog, it's not like you didn't overturn a 20+ pt lead last time we did this.

My, my. I saw from the beginning that this round was going exceptionally badly. I wonder if my "pick whomever I like, because I have no idea how this works anyway" newbie attitude last year wasn't better than this wannabe-rationalistic approach. Still, I think I can be grateful for something. Not probably going to change anybody yet, except for the captaincy:

Salt and Smoke
-> Scatha (Wilderland) (C) is my new captain.

Okay, I made the couple of corrections Nilp pointed out (Galadriel & Hurin points) so hopefully everything is good now. I've also posted a Phantasy Strategy column on the main thread, and no doubt some of the other writers will be making predictions and recommendations for this round soon, so if you're looking for tips keep your eyes open for those.
