Slightly later than morning, but here are the two new teams for Phase 5!
TEAM A

TEAM B

I hope everyone is happy with their teams! Aly & I tried our best to split them based on your personal preference, track record of participation (because we really are hoping for a close battle and not a runaway) and what we know of people's character/shipping interests. But there is only so much we can do and keep the teams even, so if you have a huge problem with this, please send Aly or me a PM.
Mod positions were based on who gave a solid commitment and then, for those who gave 'if you need me to' answers, to those who were mods before. Again, if you have any issues or concerns with that, please send us a PM. Though with 5-people teams, you guys can probably all help to encourage and remind each other :)
Finally, please use this post to decide on a team name, if you would like. (Of course, you are free to do it anywhere else instead if you want.) You have till 5p EDT (9p UTC) on Friday, September 14 to comment to the 'Team Name' thread below with your team name. If you don't, Aly & I will name them.
But a small warning. I expect you all will be awesome and fair and nice in your naming discussions, and not choose something that three people LOVE but two people hate, but if it does start breaking into any drama, Aly & I will just go ahead and name them. And then you might get stuck with Team Addie versus Team Teddy. And I'm only halfway kidding :p
So talk nicely and choose wisely! And have fun!
(If you decide on a team name before Friday, feel free to comment. As soon as you have your team name, I'll make you a team comm and invite you all in.)
