Yes, Bombadil has already played. Don't trade him until after the third round has been officially declared over.

Oh, shush. You're doing quite well. Remember, after the third round is over I add in the group prediction points, and you were tops in that department, so you have nothing to complain about.

Boro's the one with serious beef.

Rune's quality beef, perhaps?

Okay cool. I'll just cancel the Bombadil for Turin trade and I should be fine?

If so....Round three....

Sorry Sally. What I meant was, you can't do any sort of trading involving Bombadil until after the third round. If Bombadil was the one on your team in the first place, he's still on your team. Seeing as Breeland has been eliminated, I doubt you'll be keeping Bombadil on your team, but you'll have to wait to boot him just a bit.

And just to make it clear for everyone, no one can make any trades whatsoever at present. Nothing. Not until the third round is declared over by a mod.

I was under the impression that players could still be traded if they had not played. Did I make my Glorfindel-Uinen trade in error?

I hadn't outlawed trades before that point Gwath, so your trade is accepted. I was just making sure there weren't any more, since allowing trades after play in a round is more of a courtesy than a plan (it is done primarily for the benefit of those who have not had time to make any trades- in this case I specifically had Eonwe in mind when I made my comment about allowing trades). Once the playoffs begin the rule will be more hard and fast (more than likely the only people I'll allow to make trades during play will be those people who made no trades at all that round, and even then I may not allow the full amount of trades). You see, there are possible strategic advantages such as looking at how you are faring and deciding whether or not to take a risk, or looking at who has won another group/match and thus knowing who the unplayed group/match will draw in the next round of the playoffs etc.

Whoops, sorry. I thought trading Turin in was illegal because I was late so I undid it. But if it's fine with you I'd obviously prefer it. Thanks for clarifying!

A courtesy, ok, makes sense, phantom. I promise not to take advantage of that anymore.
