I was drafted onto Team Dan, alongside Gothia, Erix, Asanka, Scratch, Zar, ForPony and Sizzler. Dan had also drafted Bombtek, but after asking us to make him a sim (which Lud, who said he was taking the round off - and then played anyway and almost friggin won the game - generously created for him), he then never turned up to register in time. We DMed him and pinged him a bunch but I don't think he used discord much and he definitely had turned his notifications off, and so he missed the deadline and would have been seeded randomly into one of the other realms - if he even signed up for the round at all. Honestly, it felt a bit like we dodged a bullet, but then we ended up with Elf Woods as a rando in-realm anyway which felt a bit like what happened to me the time I went to return a toaster I'd bought at Tesco because it wouldn't heat up, only to be given a replacement toaster that was missing the lever to lower the bread into the grill and switch it on. Neither of them could make any fucking toast. | I was drafted onto Team Dan, alongside Gothia, Erix, Asanka, Scratch, Zar, ForPony and Sizzler.

− | I already knew I was on Team Dan before it got announced publicly. Merf had strongly alluded to me being on Dan's team in the Rush Hour podcast where we revealed the co-captains, despite me saying on the pod I wanted it to be a surprise (though if you ask Merf, he says I directly asked him what team I was on).

Dan was the one team captain that, if you'd asked me before that chat with Merf, I'd have put money on not drafting me - especially with Gothia as his co-captain. The previous round my pack had been responsible for obliterating a member of their pack (Wurst) as soon as wars became viable, leading to their entire pack abandoning, and the dissolution of their entire realm as the remaining players became refugees and were shipped off to other realms. This legendary blopmageddon was what ushered in the Dark Ages of blops we now find ourselves in. It had gotten a little heated in the discord in the days that followed; I'd called Dan a serial abandoner, he'd called me a narcissist. Standard internet beef. | Dan was the one team captain that, if you'd asked me before that chat with Merf, I'd have put money on not drafting me - especially with Gothia as his co-captain.
