@Joga Bonito 's time will be up in 30 mins or so
Chain Draft (Main Thread)
- Thread starter Edgar Allan Pillow
- Start date
Hopefully the pace will quicken up a bit. Though i still havnt a fecking clue what I'm doing
I thought the deadline doesn't kick in until Wednesday?
woops...don't know that. Why is it Wednesday anyway? That's too late, it should kick off from Monday morning at the latest.
It just dawned on me I'll probably kill one or two of you before this first turn is over 
Just because it's a surefire way to kill a draft?
Jesu Cristo! I didn't know if we'll get the last few players and I thought people may need some time to do research before it starts.
Most here are draft junkies, so time line or not this will get cracking!
@crappycraperson @Balu can you guys serve as neutral panel to rule on 'issues'?
Sorry @VivaJanuzaj didn't think it was necessary before! You assisting someone, right?

Don't really want to, I'm sure you guys find a way to figure it out. Worst case, we get rid of a few users again. It's been a while since a draft manager asked to be banned. We need a bit more drama

That's exactly what people want to avoid, the uncertainty is frying their brains!You feckin' fannyDon't really want to, I'm sure you guys find a way to figure it out. Worst case, we get rid of a few users again. It's been a while since a draft manager asked to be banned. We need a bit more drama

I will bet that most won't do their research until it is their turn to pick. MJJ and I are doing ours now only ..Jesu Cristo! I didn't know if we'll get the last few players and I thought people may need some time to do research before it starts.

It takes a lot of research for the first pick (as you can really end up in dead alley if you aren't careful esp if you are one of the early picks) but it will pick up after the first pick as people won't really have much options to ponder upon (relatively of course).
Yeah, agreed with that. Perhaps there should be a designated neutral or someone like that as most of these doubts will involve unpicked players etc. Just don't want to create an awkward situation, that's all.

This is not a democracy. My verdict is final...
@Edgar Allan Pillow does the player need to have 15 apps for the first club(first pick)? Example, player X played for one club 4 times and then was sold to the second club which was his last club in his career, can i pick him or does the 15 game rule also apply for him?
Researching is impossible. Just endless possibilities.
First pick is free. No restrictions. But to make a 2nd pick link you can only use clubs where he played 15+ games/season.
Say,your first pick is Luis Ronaldo. He has played..
1993-94 Cruziero - 14 games
1994-95 PSV - 30 games
1996-97 Barcelona - 37 games
etc.
You cannot use Cruzeiro to link to next players. Only PSV/barca etc are eligible.
@Edgar Allan Pillow i get that, just wasnt sure if the same rule applies for the first pick...so "cruzerio" Ronaldo would be free to use as your first pick
First pick has no restrictions, so no need to put a club link to that. It can be anyone.@Edgar Allan Pillow i get that, just wasnt sure if the same rule applies for the first pick...so "cruzerio" Ronaldo would be free to use as your first pick
@Edgar Allan Pillow can we start the deadline from Monday morning ? We've got all the managers, and as others have mentioned, not much researching is possible unless its really close to your turn (and too much research, when it is your turn without any deadline).
Wait... I think you mean something else here. There's no such thing as "Cruzeiro Ronaldo", just Ronaldo. If you pick A who played with Ronaldo at PSV (15 games each) and C who played with Ronaldo at Barca (15 games each), A and C still can't have played together anywhere. So the specific club used for the link is completely irrelevant.@Edgar Allan Pillow i get that, just wasnt sure if the same rule applies for the first pick...so "cruzerio" Ronaldo would be free to use as your first pick
Aye, I'm actually kicking myself that I tried to keep it going when in fact I had just had my plan shot to pieces. Would have started it a completely different way had I taken one hour to get over possibly not getting Giacinto. As it is, he will probably be the only one I get
read my first post, i know there isnt "cruzeiro" ronaldo he was just an example, i asked if first pick also needs to have 15 games for different club(it doesnt) or does that rule apply only for teammates later on.
Yeah I'm assisting Tuppet.
I'll come back on Wednesday and see how much longer it is until our turn
Of course not, otherwise you wouldn't be able to pick one club players to start with
I did read your post, my concern was when we first discussed this chain stuff there was a variant discussed of not playing together at the same club, rather than not playing together at all.
hipster
Maybe, maybe not. Who knows?You moron! Is that what you took away my Falcão for?
On the other hand, I've already done quite a bit of research, but this extra time should serve me well in getting more options and choices for each draft round. I'm hoping that I'm well set for when people start to destroy my teams.
Also, @Edgar Allan Pillow, could you confirm what the voting system will be for this draft? I feel that players will build teams differently depending on the voting system in place.
Standard.
Just clarified something for Joga. He'll pick soon...
36 minutes later...
Need to research more due to lack of appearance records in that era and the last thing I want is to create a shitstorm as to whether that pick would be valid or not...36 minutes later...
If it's a matter of validating a pick I'm happy to help. Would rather help with research than, well, watch paint dry.
I can't pick before your second pick anyway so there's feck all I could do about/against it.
Alright PM incoming. Thanks.
Re- the 15 games rule. Is that for a single season or cumulative?
Suppose you had Gaalinho who played 7 games in 2000 and 8 in 2001 could I link him with Phealinho?
Also if Gaalinho had played one game in the same season as Kiddinho (who is legit linked to Phealinho) would that be an invalid pick?

so much of me not doing chains before and going player by player.....just did 2 hours of creating chains for a player that will probably go in next three picks
