and since Cornhusker is out this round and we'll probably be forming a new team next round, it might be logical for you to step into the place he's leaving; Mumblefratz, however, can probably speak with more experience about the conventions and precidents established so far in this regard.
Certainly taking Cornhuskers place is a reasonable suggestion however Cornhusker wasn't expected for this round and therefore wasn't listed on the Team A roster. Since Team A (and

already have 6 players (without Cornhusker) this probably isn't the best choice.
As far as speaking towards conventions and precedents, I guess I certainly have made my presence felt in the league although I technically have no official capacity to do so. Early on I had basically taken myself out of the running on the basis that if I can't lead by example or if the benefit of my suggestions are not seen as universally useful then merely having a fancy title does not lend more importance to my pronouncements.
In any case it's Neilo's perogative to assign people to teams and I'd prefer not to step in on this unless absolutely necessary. Certainly I would give Neilo a day or two to show up and make an assignment. However, if push comes to shove I can manage to discern the pattern in Neilo's most recent assignments. His 1st 6th man was assigned to Team A and his second to Team B. If he doesn't show up in a day or two I would presume to assign the next player to Team C.
Also if TheDoomBringer wishes to participate in this round and wishes to begin a game in anticipation of joining the league then my suggestion would be to start working on a military victory with the assigned settings. With the averaging of all games submitted for determination of team bonuses a team could always use another military victory, at least that's my opinion.
