Lucario, it's your game. You're the host. Do what you want
since you are never hosting another one after this. Zing!
. Whichever choosing method you are going to use, just start using it. You now have a guess from me on your rules and a guess from nickmitch on the "boring rules which are still different from the normal pattern" and you haven't moved forward on either of them. What the players want from you is to start moving the game forward and confirming or denying the choices made. While it would be nice to figure out how you are working the game and when a person could expect to make a selection, the most important is that you at least keep moving the game along and you aren't doing that right now.
