GROUP ASSIGNMENTS:
The subgroup election results are in: 6 for benevolent dictatorship and 6 for self-picking (with 16 abstaining). In a compromise move, I have decided (as dictator) to assign people to subgroups, but in a supreme act of benevolence I assigned anyone who specified one or the other group to the one they specified.

Strangely, all the people who wanted specific groups picked Group A...I suppose pgn would say they're all type A personalities.

Here are the results.

Group A (both days)

Group B (both days)
