    Not under normal circumstances, but should you happen to have that particular boost, well...

    Don't worry, guys (and gal), you're going to be getting all kinds of fun toys to play with once your teams are completed.

    Regarding trades: Please submit the trade requests to me via PM and not just through in-thread handshakes. You don't have to worry about the trade being rejected unless it brings a GM to fewer than seven different types of picks, but it's so much easier for me to keep track of if I have them all in PMs. Thanks.

    On that note: BaSSiL sends his wrestling pick to Evil Incarnate in exchange for his basketball pick.

    and...

    Yodaminch trades his basketball pick to whiteeagle in exchange for whitey's animated pick.

    Draft order will be posted here shortly.

    PG is on the clock. 24 hours to make your pick, and a rolling bump is definitely in effect. Please tag the next person in line once you make your selection.

    On. With. The. DRAFT!


    10 tag max, apparently...

    Having the first pick is stressful with the amount of options. Don't expect a selection until tonight though.

    As am I. I've got picks lined up for everything but basketball and wrestling actually. Those are likely as not going to be totally random picks unless someone trades for them :p

    Yeah, it's difficult trying to decide who to take first, there is such a large amount of options and it feels like whoever you take there is going to be abetter option no matter what. Feels like it's way easy to make a bad choice every round, which actually makes it kind of fun in it's own right.

    I am trying to determine which the judges value most:

    1) Creativity in picks (i.e. use of creativity of what the picks can do vs. raw power).
    2) Potential loopholing.
    3) Potential for madcap.
    4) Potential for madcap with creative arguments in battles.

    Granted, there are things that can't loopholed (i.e. the Jedi/Sith Drafts, Pokemon Drafts, etc.) but there are a lot of other loopholes out there. ;)

    Same. Really my knowledge on most of these subjects is thin enough I can almost guarantee someone will get something stronger than mine. Hence, entertaining is more fun.

    I am the king of loopholing, so I will definitely appreciate some creativity in that area.

    Really, though, I think as long as you're trying to make it fun, that's what we're trying to do as well.

    Power is what's going to determine who wins each match. Creativity, amusement, chaos, etc., will determine what boosts or penalties you get, which will indirectly affect power.

    So basically, if you have fun with you and are creative, you won't have to worry too much about being terrible out muscled.

    I still need to get rid of my basketball pick. I'd like to trade it for a comic or animated pick. Any takers?
