Lords of Waterdeep - Round 6

Looking for 4-5 people who may be interested in playing Lords of Waterdeep. It's a worker placement game with a D&D Forgotten Realms theme, essentially. Rules are here. It should work fairly well being run over forums, though of course that's part of the experiment.
As a disclaimer, there isn't any vassal mod out for this (that I can find), so if you play, you're going to have to subject yourself to the horrors of me manually making a board representation from MSpaint or GIMP or whatever. Handtracker will be needed also, for drawing/playing cards.

A list of things, should you be of the gifting persuasion
Ok, I'm all set. Mojo and Nullzone, what are your handtracker IDs? And I need everyone to pick a color/faction - Grey (City Guard), Yellow (Knights of the Shield), Green (Harpers), Red (Red Sashes), or Blue (Silverstars). There's no mechanical differences between the factions.
(I haven't PBP'd much here yet so I'm not up on all the fancy tools)

@Sticks City Guard is up.
I've tried to make everything as clear and simplistic as I could. When you draw a quest from Cliffwatch or build something from the Builder's Hall, they're replaced immediately, so play from the deck a replacement on handtracker.
If there's anything I can do to make things clearer for everyone, let me know.
There is a FAQ available here

SELL ME ON THE GAME, PEONS!
Looks like sticks didn't draw his intrigue card yet, we can just draw them in handtracker when he assign right?
Also anyone want to be friends? I'll give you a random benefit in return for a random benefit later on? One slot open.
I'm seriously considering buying this game so far. I don't have any worker placement games.
It helps when you're constantly insane. You don't even feel the whole being eaten thing.
