Team Order
How do we decide what the team order will be?
My suggestions would be either random or creation order.

It was merely a coincidence that I was first to pick.

Also, I think it would be only normal for Trip's team to begin. Trip has put so much energy in setting up this game, he deserves to be the one to start IMHO.

There isn't really any advantage in going first I would have thought....
Maybe to encourage recruitment we should have the order based on team size....

there is an advantage in going first
easiest & fairest option IMO is to go random
just ask Mark( or some other imparsial person) to throw a dice or something

I meant I favor Trip being the one who starts the game (and his team along wth him). For the rest, I'm in favor of random. At least Trip shouldn't cheat with his randomizer if he gets to start

Question is, who starts the game? Who sets it up?
I would favour a neutral, third party and I think I know just the guy...
