Is it too early to start placing bets? I mean group 3 is obvously taking first, but there's some contention for second place.

Note: by "placing bets" I mean smack talk :)

Considering we won't even have decks for at least a month, I would answer yes. I mean, go ahead, everyone can say they'll be the best. There's just no evidence or anything to make fun of. Even then, you like to keep your deck secret for the edge during the event.

One thing I can say is that Sedge Scorpion will lead Group 7 to victory. Even if we end up not having any copies in our deck.

Note: by "victory" I mean complete and total annihilation.

Didn't you hear? Team six is playing Eggs. You guys are screwed.

Um, team five has the most colored usernames, they are clearly superior.

I'd like to join, if it's not too late. I participated in the last one, and it was a lot of fun.

Goody- but of course! Donating to TappedOut is inextricably linked with winning DDD. Only a fool would believe otherwise.

I'll just let our roster speak for itself.

Truthfully, it looks like we have a number of very strong teams. It will be interesting to see the outcome.

When I get passed all the Thassa, you will bow before me.

Well, I'll try to see to it that we don't pass you one pack 2. :-P

@Darkness1835 This is a true fact. It is known.

Also, team 5 has already acquired all the of the Gods, not just Thassa. No bowing necessary.

Good luck getting devotion on any of them if you are running all 5, lol.

Challenge accepted.

Hey Caley, I signed up on the previous article, but can't find myself on the list. Could you assign me to a team?

I love the smell of napalm in the morning.

Be warned. Team 7 has already assembled all 3 God cards AND ten star chips. We will not be beaten.

@GoldGhost012: It's funny you should say that, because in fact, I have the blessing of the Sedge Scorpion in OUR group, and we shall claim victory!!

...oh god, the Clan Of Sedge Scorpions is turning schismatic.

Our group has also been blessed by the sedge scorpion. But we have forsaken that blessing to grasp an even higher power.

I forget what it was, though. Probably pizza or something.

Hmmm...

Team 5, led by Goody... Am I sensing a Five-color goodstuff draft? :P

NobodyPicksBulbasaur, don't forget we have also aquired all 16 Plates and the Azure Flute.

pookypuppy6, then I guess it will be a fight to see who Sedge Scorpion favors more.

@Dallie - You're on Absinthman's team henceforth. Absinthman, Dallie is on your team.

I haven't seen if it's time for this sort of thing yet, but I'm definitely on board to be an observer this go-round.

@KrazyCaley Any place for Jarrheadd0 on a team?

Oh hey. Can I be added to team 6? (I was on that team last game and was given the privilege of continuing on that team.)

kthxbye

How is Observing going to work this time around?

apt142, I got you.

@Jarrheadd0 - You are assigned to Wodar's team. Get in touch with him.

@apt142 - You're on Euphonatron's team, looks like he's already got you.

@Arachnarchist and TridenT - I am experimenting this time with having no observer group and having everyone participate. A lot of our group leaders last time had slightly low actual participation even though they had a good number of people in the group, so I'm trying to rectify that with bigger group sizes drafting, which means I'm shunting everyone to a playgroup, at least at the start.

Long story short - No observer group YET. However, probably some time around the end of pack 1 I'll close team sign-ups and then throw open the observer area. I have you two down as interested in that.

Exxccelllent.

Hey KrazyCaley, if there's a spot for one RousseausDisciple, I'm sure he'd be greatly appreciative of the chance to participate in the DDD once again. Thanks!

you get to be with us again if you want, RousseausDisciple. Just say the word.

Sweet, let's do it.

@Euphonatron and RousseausDisciple - Done. Hook yourselves up.

Euphonatron have you posted in this new area yet? If so, I have not gotten an alert.

I posted a link on your wall a couple days ago. Check your comments.

Wow. If I had known I was the only one of the 3DGM 8 not re-participating, I might have signed up for a team.

Just remember guys, if you lose two matches your whole team runs off on you!

....I'm not bitter.

Poor TridenT =(
