When this round is over and the Phantasy points and standings have been posted, you may make any desired changes to your team at that time by making a new post announcing your new team.

If you do not have a -> (C) by one of your players, it means you did not choose a captain (or that you did choose a captain and I missed it). You can tell me who your captain is right away if you wish for credit in this round, but only if the player you name has not played yet in this round (i.e. you can't look at the results and then choose a captain).

For the future- when you make changes to your team next round or in later rounds, please copy and paste your team from the previous round's master list (in this case it would be this post), and then make the changes you want by voting in/out substitutions Werewolf style. Example- you wish to kick Phantom off your roster and add Sally...
--Phantom
++Sally

And then beneath that (and whatever other changes you made) you would repost your team roster. In the first round of trades this system is a little tedious due to the fact that there are unlimited trades, but in future rounds when you are only allowed so many substitutions, the voting style (++, --) makes it easy to keep track of exactly how many of your allotted trades you have used.

And before anyone asks, if you switch out Sally for Phantom and then decide to switch out Sally for Fea, that only counts as one trade (Phantom for Fea) since that was the end result.

the phantom: could you send the schedule for the second round matches of the group-play here so that people could start thinking about their team-choices for the next round? And the sooner we writers get to see them, the sooner we have done with our pickings; and then the sooner you can then send us the results, and the sooner we can go forwards...

Wow, Nogrod. Nice work having Miriel AND Tar Minastir on your team this round. Big points.

Heh. I always have Miriel... always, I think from start to the end (and tend to have Nerdanel & Aredhel as well, with Huan) but Tar Minastir was a nice surprise.

Not that I would have won the competition ever.

And I think I have never taken Fëanor no matter how many points he would make (actually I think I had him for one game last year to just get me few points needed but I'm not sure about it). It's nothing against Fëanor. On the contrary. I kind of think he's one of the most fascinating characters in all the Tolkien legendarium, but as everyone else always has him in their teams I have decided to play differently on him.

But this year my team's name is Noggportunistics, so maybe I'll pick him to my team later?
