Is this the final list?

I count 13 in that list

I'm  in, but now everyone knows I'm playing... I wanted to truly remain  anonymous.  Is there way to do that other than a having a new game account, which I'm pretty sure others have used. 

Rellgar

Actually this could be done. Rick would need to sanction a new game, with all house rules declared up front, and select a volunteer to run the draft. Then players that want to play in the game directly e-mail the Draftmaster (WITHOUT posting ANYTHING on the Forum sign-up page) who can periodically announce how many players are signed up but nobody knows "who" has signed up. Once there are 12, the draftmaster runs the draft as usual. The game will begin with complete anonymity (well, I guess you know the Draftmaster isn't playing).

Aye... Ohman would be out as the last to post unless someone above is not playing.

Scratch gkmetty as that is Canticar. That should make 12.

 Now that would be an awesome game

This moved along great. Thanks so much to Imperial Tark for doing the draft for us.

For the newer folks, here is how it works. Please email Imperial Tark (bschrade@emporia.edu) so he has your email address. He will randomize the names and send you your number. You will then need to send him your choices. If you happen to be first, you can pick any kingdom and it will be yours. After that, it depends on who picked ahead of you.

So, if you pick 9th, you will need to send 9 choices, one from each region/dispersed. There are 10 regions and 2 dispersed kingdoms. So, pick 1 from any region or dispersed (for instance, pick Druid or Elf, but not both in your list, pick RD or TY but not both in your list). If you pick Elf as your first pick and nobody ahead of you picked Elf or Druid, then you would get the Elf.

For really new players, here are your choices:
Druid or Elf
Necro or Cimmerian
Warlock or Dwarf
Amazon or Sorcerer
Sacred Order or Black Dragons
Atlantians or Demon Princes
Gnome or Halfling
Ranger or Illusionist
Lizard Men or Dark Elf
Nomad or Ancient Ones
Red Dragons or Tyrant
Underworld or Pirate

Once IT has finalized the list, he will submit to Signup to get the game kicked off. He will indicate the below rules and will list the folks who get Chivalry bonus (25,000 gold).

Our house rules for this game are simple. Anon game, no communication in or out of the game, no gifts or trades or using the High Council to benefit another kingdom, no hiring emissaries with names that communicate (don't hire an agent named Allywithme and send that guy to someone's pop center), have fun, dominate, win the game. Simple. Will use Ready Button if that is available to us. 

If you are really new, you might want to reach out to someone who is not in this game for some advice once you get your setup.

Any questions, please email me at msiebenhaar@gmail.com or post here.

I agree and I have another slot.

Ugh. My email is down. Perhaps you can PM me here, Tark?

All 12 players have received their draft order ranking via e-mail or Forum private message. I do not yet have an e-mail from cwbrechtel (but sent his ranking via a Forum private message). I already have 5 players with their kingdom choices in. Also, does this group want me to submit a final draft order ranking list to the Forum (just displaying what each players' draft order ranking was, no kingdoms)....... or not.

For those of you that liked your draft order, you are welcome submit bids to buy my "lucky" 12-sided D&D die. For those of you that did not like your draft order, you are welcome to submit bids to have my "unlucky" 12-sided D&D die crushed with a hammer.
