The 9th EUC Starfighter Draft: The Last Commander (Discussing Options)

Pash > Phennir

Shurron, some jokes never get old.

 

Are there three judges yet?

Evil.

 

can i still sign up even though all the spaces are filled up?

 

Unfortunately, once all the spots are gone, all of the spots are gone. That's one of the things about this draft... It's a competition just to get in.

 

I got really lucky for signups...but it's looking like I'm going to get my butt kicked...good field and all.

I got this confused with the Jedi Draft, so I wasn't expecting it to start untill Friday. Silly me.

 

I'd say it's a decent field. Four previous champs, a few veterans, a few returners, and a few litizens.

 

I might actually not last all that long in this draft. First off, it's my first ever draft of any sort. And second of all, it's not as if starfighter pilots are exactly my area of expertise in the SW fandom. And thirdly, the field looks to be particularly tough this time around...

But I'll give it all I got.

I'm glad you (and Jello) pointed this out to me-- looks fun.

Thanks for the detailed rules (you too SOD); [i]now[/i] it all makes sense. I spent last match wondering to myself how pilots were picked, and was too dense to work it out on my own. :p

 

My pleasure. As long as I was able to get a spot myself, I don't mind a bit. If I hadn't gotten a spot, though, I'd have cursed your name.

 

"Damn you, Typo! You triple trumped, didn't you?! You monkey!"

 

Since when is Monkey and insult? You might as well have called him (or you...I guess...) a woman.

 

I bet you just insulted every woman in this thread with that comment.

 

Since Jello used it as a sort of exhasperated interjection as I beat him to take the crown in Draft #7.

 

*ducks*

 

I was vaguely worried about that. When I nabbed a spot this morning, I thought "gee, it'd be ironic if Typo didn't grab a spot in time."

 

As far as I know, it can be either. If you just want the trump to fall on a single number, then you put it on that number. If you want it on a possibility of two numbers, that's fine too, and whichever number is called first is the one that gets the trump.

Edit: Oooh, shiny crown. Each Draft champ gets to keep one to put on their mantle.

 

I think every single woman in this thread amounts to me. Unless Jaina sneaked back in or I haven't been reading the Draft list carefully enough.

*is offended* *glares* *murders*

 

No way. The way it's supposed to be is that you cannot choose where the forfeit lands. You send in the trump on both numbers and they fly on whichever gets called first, with the second being the forfeit.

 

You'd think so, but if Corran never said anything to him before, I would guess it would go either way...


And I miss Jaina.

Edit: No way, Jello! Only WINNERS get crowns. Judges are losers.

 

Well, I can't speak for Corran, but I've gotten a lot of those numbers where people tried to choose their forfeit numbers in just about every draft I've ever run. And I'd try to explain at first how it's supposed to work, but after a while, I just got tired of repeating myself and just started ignoring it. If the number with the "forfeit" on it comes up first, then the trump flys (or fights, or whatever) and the other number forfeits. Corran probably did the same.

In fact, I know that's how it works, because when have you ever seen a forfeit come before a trump popping up? It's never happened in any draft to my knowledge.

 

Here's a question for the judges (or anyone, really): at what point in their lives are pilots considered to be when it comes to cohesion? For example, if I've two pilots who were best pals five years ago but currently hate each other, what gives? Or, to reverse with, what if they were bitter enemies at their prime, but now as retirees get along amicably?

 

Indeed. And it likely did happen this way, although I doubt Corran said anything to Jello. I mean, Jello isn't that dense.

Edit: As a judge, I always did most recent, but I also judged Anakin and Vader completely seperate.
