If I did the test right (I'm happy to accept double-checks), my results are Harrow (disjunction!) Wealdstone (twice north twice south, almond, 330-Q-M-12*).

I have also never played before, but I am in your debt for taking some of the pressure off of me.

My results are London Fields, but slightly to the south-southeast.

I have District line from Southfields to Westminster, Tuesday afternoon rush, missing Kensington; third-and-switch.

I got London Fields argent, cross gules, sword of the last first quarter.
Drawing the same station as pistachi0n was unlikely, but it happens. The modifiers should more than make up for the difference, as long as there isn't any really extreme dimidiation later.

Mine are Shepherd's Bush Market with a slight digression from East Axis.

That's everyone, isn't it? Am I forgetting somebody?

Nope, that's it. Lots of interesting results here.

So we have two pools of players: Alicorn and pistachi0n, who haven't played before, and myself, AndaisQ, Lambda, Nemo Consequentiæ, and mnemosynoid (three excellent classics-influenced names!), who (I infer) have, among whom ITO should be decided.

Feel free to check my work, but this is the resulting initial turn order I arrived at:

1. Alicorn [but double-check that 12*, if you made a minor arithmetic error it could flip the order here]
2. pistachi0n
3. Nemo Consequentiæ [the one short-term benefit of those modifiers]
4. Lambda [the Kensington skip bumps you up a slot]
5. jalapeno_dude
6. mnemosynoid
7. AndaisQ [ensured by that pot of gold, as you said]

So we're all set to start as soon as we establish a ruleset.

I double-checked my arithmetic and I still got 12*. I'm no longer sure about the almond part, though, it could be gooseberry instead (I consistently get one of those but I've gotten each twice now), but I don't think that matters?

Well, if nothing else I can eke some mysticism out of being seventh of seven.

Yes, but you also start with a rose. I'm in position to have a five-pointed mullet unpierced, which is much cooler looking.

EDIT: This is assuming we remove all references to the players' genders from the rules. The writers are surprisingly unwilling to make the game gender-neutral, but I'm so used to ignoring those rules I forgot it's technically canon.

I actually like the gender rules, as long as people are allowed to declare whatever genders they want.

EDIT: I think you can still have the mullet sinister, since you gave your pronouns with slashes rather than commas.
