Games The 26th Jedi Draft - Congratulations to our victor, KenKenobi!

Welcome to the 26th Jedi Draft. We've been through muggles and ships but in the end we always come back to the Force users of our beloved saga. The battle of lightsabres and ultimately, the will of the Force.



Thanks to @Bardan_Jusik for supporting us in the SWC.

I'd like to continue with the past tradition of recognizing our founder @Darth-Horax

In our last draft, @Point Given damned the trends and used a mixed light side/dark side squad to beat another draft veteran in @DarkEagle who had another stacked dark side team that fell short. So, lets dew it.

Rules:

1. VIPs - Colors - Titles: The winner of the Jedi Draft will be awarded VIP status and colors for the duration of one week.

2. Leave Your Problems At the Door: If any personal problems or disputes arise in the midst of the Draft, please refrain from playing them out in the thread. Take care of things outside the Draft, and if problems persist, contact either myself, or one of the Mods, and we'll see what can be done.

3. Obey the Forum Rules: Talking and discussions is encouraged, so long as nothing gets too heated. Just follow the normal forum rules, (no flaming/spamming/trolling, etc.) and you should be fine. Please respect everyone else in the game; it'll work out better for everyone. It is understood that, in between and waiting for picks, we will banter back and forth - just remember to tie it up at some point and point the discussion back in the direction of the next pick and/or match.

4. No Replacing the Commissioner: If I'm going to be out for an extended period of time, then I'll arrange for someone to act as temporary Commissioner until I return. GMs and Judges will not take it onto themselves to find a new Commissioner to fill in if I happen to be absent.

Here's how the game works:

Step 1: The Draft

The draft will be snake-style, for example:

Round 1:
1. Team Satele
2. Team Palpy
3. Team Ewok
4. Team Vader

Round 2:
1. Team Vader
2. Team Ewok
3. Team Palpy
4. Team Satele

We will decide amount of draft rounds after we see how many folks are interested.

There will be no bench, all combatants will fight, every round. I’ll randomize the draft order after we conclude sign-ups, and the full list of available Jedi and Sith will be made available at that time (if not earlier).

Step 2: The Match-ups

After each match has started, each GM will have 48 hours to send a PM to me, listing their numbers- this does not need to be in any necessary order. Here is an example:

You drafted Darth Sidious, Darth Malgus, Darth Bane, Galen Marek, Yarael Poof, Tott Doneeta, Eeth Koth, and Savage Oppress.

This is an example of what you would send in:

1. Tott Doneeta (prepared)
2. Eeth Koth TRUMPED with Darth Malgus
3. Darth Malgus TRUMPED with Eeth Koth (notice the flip)
4. Savage Oppress
5. Yarael Poof
6. Darth Sidious TRUMPED with Galen Marek
7. Galen Marek TRUMPED with Darth Sidious
8. Darth Bane

If the team lineup is not received within 48 hours, your last roster set-up will be used to keep the game going.

==

Trumping:

Notice the strategy of “trumping.” This can be used as a strategy, but is in no way required- however, should you choose to trump, you must list the trump both ways, as two separate numbers. The first number of the two represented by that trump will be used as the actual trump, and the second will be an auto-forfeit. If two teams match auto-forfeits, that particular individual match will be declared a draw.

Trumps can be extremely effective, especially if you obtain two characters that have fought together throughout the films or EU extensively - this could play into draft strategies.

Pick Two List and Natural Trumps - you will see on the draft board that you have a list from which you can "pick two" in place of your normal selection. Once you select those two together, they are forever bound, and must always be trumped. Likewise, you will see some pre-selected trumps that we have listed - again, these only count as one pick, but they cannot be separated. When sending in your numbers, these natural and pick two trumps only count as number, and do not carry the auto-forfeit.

==

Prep:

You also will see that Tott is listed as “prepared.” You have one prep per round (thus, it cannot be used on a full trump), and gives the fighter access to the following:

-One extra weapon that can be held with one hand (no crystals, vehicles, death-stars, satellite or remote controlled weapons, god weapons, etc.- be smart)
-Any extra armor that is desired, with the understanding that speed may be taken into account
-Any and all knowledge regarding their opponents that they can compile in a 24 hour period (previous battle results, shown weaknesses and tendencies,etc.)

Prep does not allow bringing any other living beings into the arena, be it pets, buddies, or mothers.

Darth Bane, with prep, receives his Orbalisk armor. Without prep, he does not have it.
Exar Kun, with prep, receives his amulets, Without prep, he doesn't get them.

==

Weapons:

Those who are known to only use double-bladed saber will use their double-blade for every match, and will be able to bring an additional blade into battle when prepared, if so chosen by the GM. Light whip users will use their light whip for each match, and will be able to bring another blade into battle when prepared, if so chosen by the GM.

Characters that traditionally carry blasters and thermal detonators with them will have access to them without using prep - no rocket launchers, please. This is important - if you have a question about what will be allowed for a character you are interested in, ask me BEFORE you draft them. We avoid any issues down the road that way.

==

Locations:

When each match is announced, a corresponding location will be announced. All matches will take place in this location. Locations can be beneficial to certain characters with familiarity, and problematic for others - this should be taken into account when setting up your team and sending in numbers.

==

Team Battles:

So, you may ask, what happens if we get to 5-5? The answer is a glorious team battle, a giant free-for-all to break the tie. These are quite fun, and while picking, abilities such as battle meditation, etc. can be taken into account as helpful tools, should you ever find yourself in a team battle.

Step 3: Conferences and Playoffs

We will have two conferences with either five or six teams. Depending on the amount of teams we get I'll set up the playoff format at that time. All teams with be in the playoffs and the first place team will get a bye to the next round. Again, when we see participation we will see if the second place team gets a bye too.

Here are all of our old drafts, with champions listed, for you to refer to:

2. 2003 Second Installment (Winner: GenMadine)

22. 2014: Only a Bith Deals In Absolutes (Winner: Point Given)
23. 2015: Play Us Out Max Rebo (Winner: DarthIntegral)
24. 2016: I will finish what Horax started (Winner: DarkEagle)
25. 2018: The Silver Anniversary Edition!! (Champion: Point Given!)


And finally, This draft is, and has traditionally been, a good time for all. That holds true when we have active users. We will try for 10 to 12 GM spots, and 3 judging spots - when you do commit to a GM spot, just recognize that it may take a few minutes a week to drop in and check on your team, throw in an argument or two, or send in numbers.

With that, we have room for one more GM.

And, as always - if you have questions regarding a character, please contact me or a judge prior to your drafting them - no changes will be made after the fact.

Following the first pick, please tag the next person in line, and each pick has 24 hours. Missed picks go to the end of the round, 2 missed picks means you're out.

Additionally, myself and the judges will provide at least one set of breakdowns (no maximum), at their chosen intervals.

Gook Luck all.
