Board 8 > X-Men Draft Topic 1

(+) Yeah! (+)

Rules:

1) There are 16 players. Each player will draft 10 characters through a randomly-ordered snake draft.
2) After each player has drafted their team, they must choose a team leader and a team name. Team names must have either "X" or "Mutant" in the name.
3) Players are divided into two divisions. Each week, Monday-Friday, players will face one opponent in two categories. These categories are: "Fight" and "Pitch".
4) Anyone who is not involved in a specific match can vote for either team in either category. The player with the most votes in one of the categories will get a win in said category.
5) After each player has faced seven opponents, the players with the best "Fight" records in each division will face off and the players with the best "Pitch" records will face off.
6) Rosters each week will be made up ONLY of 6 members of the team. Every character must be active against at least three distinct opponents. Every character must also be inactive against at least three distinct opponents.
7) Each player should, at some point during the week, post about why they believe their team would win in a fight, and also repost (or write a new) pitches for what their team is meant to be.
8) Pitches should be judged based on whether the concept sounds compelling and has storytelling potential for a regular series.
9) On Saturdays and Sundays, between rounds, players may make one-for-one trades with any other player.
10) Rosters must always house exactly ten members.

I think this covers all of the rules I have planned for this. If something is confusing or you want more clarification, whatever, hit me up.

Will do.

---

Man I was hoping to get Jubilee Sneaky Sneaky like in like round 4
---

I forgot this pressure. The pressure of waiting for the person directly before you to make a pick and possibly steal what you wanted.... though it's only a 30 second wait in the fantasy hockey draft so the 15-60 minutes is that much worse, lol.

Hey, it might be less than 15 minutes sometimes!

---

Damn that early Jubilee draft. I like it.
---

Scare takes Wolverine as Pick #3 (his first pick).

@MartinFF7 is on the clock (11:37 c).

---

Jubilee was also my target #1
---

Not too surprised about the picks so far.
---

I am surprised, but I'm probably not playing the game properly. But I have to be true to myself!

Vulcan (Gabriel Summers)

Here we go!

---

@NBIceman is on the clock (deadline 11:47 c).

---

Ed doing Ed things.

As tempted as I am to be a doofus and take Iceman, I'm gonna go with

Namor
---

@banananor is on the clock (12:31c deadline).

---

Iceman Is who I was expecting to get but I put wolverine on my list because I figured it would be dumb to pass on him if he was still there at 3

@Snake5555555555 is on the clock (Deadline: 12:36c).

@ChichiriMuyo is on the clock. I received a picklist earlier, so I'll make that pick at 12:25.

---

ChichiriMuyo picks Mimic with Pick #12 (his first pick).

@Lopen is on the clock (1:25c deadline).

---

Stepping away for a little while. If you make a pick, please ping the person after you until I get back.

---

I was wondering what happens if somebody doesnt make their pick by the deadline, we're almost there...!

11) During the draft, each player has 1 hour from the previous pick to make their pick. If they miss that hour, they will be skipped over, but can make it up at any point after that.
---

Yeah I really should have read the rules before posting that...

Skipping can really provide an advantage though, I thought they might get saddled with a randomly selected character.

Skipping shouldn't give you any advantage since it doesn't affect your next pick.
---

Picking two characters simultaneously can't be advantageous? At all?

@Lopen can make up his pick at any point, but for now we jump to @WickIebee (Deadline: 2:25c)

---

Gambit (Remy LeBeau)
---

@Mega_Mana is on the clock. (Deadline: 2:26c)
