No, it’s not. The three people I have playing that signed in late, including you, aren’t in my count. And besides, Chavez was chosen by two of you latecomers, not one. ---

The list I’m holding up suddenly got a lot heavier. Now I know how Atlas must feel. C’mon Ariel. Don’t let that Venezuelan upstart get the better of you. Or worser, depending on which way you look at it. ---
