    For those new to the sport:

    Keep in mind, there are twelve rounds of drafting. At some point in time, trading will be opened, but it is not open at this time. I will notify you when trading is open. GMs, once you are on the clock, you will have 24 hours to post your pick or PM it to the commish (that's me). If your 24 hours expire, you will be bumped to the end of the round. If you are bumped two or more times, you may be removed from the game, and replaced by a replacement GM. It is advised that if your pick is coming up and you will be going offline, that you PM a set of picks to the commish (again, that's me) in the order you would prefer them. You can PM picks as far in advance as you would like. If it is your turn and you are on the clock, there is no need to PM me, simply post your pick. However, it is important to note that only the commish (once again, yours truly) has the ability to bump someone (unless he delegates that authority to a judge). Bumping someone without the expressed consent and authority of the commish will result in you being tarred and feathered.

    Any questions, PM me. Any questions about the strengths and weaknesses of specific characters that you are considering, you should feel free to PM the judges for their opinions.

    //cheers to EF or Inty; whoever I stole that from :p




    Here we go! Enjoy it!

    The research is quite fun. You discover how Zeus is related to every. single. god. in the Greek mythology (i.e. he raped the lot of 'em).




    Your blasting probably won't reach us since there's that big ocean in the way. :)

    5th, could be worse.

    Tyi - I take it from the lack of comment that we can draft gods and mortals in no particular order? It's not a rule that we have to pick 6 gods then 6 heroes?

    I've started on my research and I have come to this conclusion: people haven't half believed some weird things. [face_hypnotized]

    Where's Zizz? He was on earlier.

    Even if he is on now he'll need his own time to research, like everybody will for this first pick.

    You're just biting at the bit to get yours in, aren't you? :p

    But, well, I suppose 5th of 16 is one of those spots where you might get your pick in the same day. If I'd been drawn last I wouldn't even be online. I'd be sleeping or something worthwhile like that :p

    I almost crapped my pants when I saw the draft list. Then I kept scrolling up and saw I was the first pick, but soon realized I am last and then first in the second round. Thanks for the awesome spot Tyi, with this being the first draft it doesn't get much better than that. It will give me plent of time to research two good picks and see which way all the teams will *hopefully* be going with their teams before I have to decide for myself.


    Don't worry, Zizz is up in the Jedi Draft too. He should be around shortly, though with that list I wouldn't blame him taking 23 hours to make his pick. Though I wonder if he will just go for the Neo of this draft for the first pick? Should be obvious who that is, at least at first glance.

    I remember the time I was last in the Jedi Draft and got Darth Vader and Exar Kun back to back. :cool: It's a damn good place in any draft, and, as you say, you have the advantage of seeing how everyone else is going to jump . . .

    I can see an obvious first four for the gods list and a fairly obvious first three for the mortals. After that, it's anyone's argument. [face_mischief]

    Don't thank me, thank the computer that generated some random numbers in your favour. Okay, wait, I own the computer, so you can thank me.


    I know what you mean about a "Neo"; although it's definitely not clear-cut at all. There's interesting things out there. But what about the second list... :D



    Edit: Anyone's argument indeed! :cool: I'm intrigued by your obvious first four for the deities, Nem.

    Well Nem, let us just hope that I am that lucky and productive with my spot as you were. The difference here is there are waaaay more GMs here I have to wade through to get to my double picks. I also hope that I don't forget to make two picks when the time comes. :p


    Yeah Tyi, you are still awesome for giving me that spot, random or not. Don't worry, the random money I sent you should be getting into your account any minute now...

    Something caught my eye just now in talking to somebody, so I thought I'd better make it clear as much as possible before we really get underway.

    The alignment guideline of "Instead, all deities fight through the character they are aligned with. The major rule of thumb is that deities cannot directly affect their aligned mortal's (equally mortal) opponent." - still applies in team battles.

    So I have a quick question. Why is it that in the two largest, most unknown (as far as characters) drafts, I've had the first pick? Ugh, I hate this. I should have a pick up within the hour, but it's not going to very well researched, as I'm short for time as it is. Man this stinks, I really have no idea what I'm doing here.

    Who's Neo? :p

    It's because you're awesome Zizz, way to be! :p I know what you mean by not having any idea what is going on so don't worry. I am betting 75% of us are as clueless as you, if not worse off. Plus I intend on drafting for fun, I'm not going to research all that much really, just fun.

    As long as your pick doesn't turn into 'judgments up later this afternoon, at the latest.'...two nights later 'I agree with EF.' :p

    By 'Neo' I mean just like in the Movie/TV draft, the first pick should be obvious. At least the one I am thinking of is obvious.


    Tyi, it looks like I am going to have to go back and re-read the first post a couple more times so I know I get the full hang of this draft and her mechanics. Be expecting a good amount of PMs from yours truly. ANd by that, I mean more than the usual daily back and forth. ;)

    P.S. Zizz, you're up in Jedi. No need to thank me.

    I choose Neo (Matrix).

    That works, right?












    I know what you meant Chim, I just have no sweet clue who you're talking about. Unless it's one of the obvious guys that I already know. Hopefully it's one of the obvious guys I already know. Because I think I'm going to choose one of the obvious guys that I already know.

    The Obvious Guys That I Already Know
