In Germany, this game is called "Mensch ärgere dich nicht" (Man, don't get upset), and has equivalent names in many other languages, such as Albanian, Bulgarian, Croatian, Czech, Dutch, Macedonian, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Slovak, Slovene, and Turkish.
Mensch Ärgere Dich Nicht Draft :drool:

This next draft looks like a lot of fun and it may not be down to luck as much as the last one was (I really enjoyed reading through that one in the last couple of days). Just wanted to mention that in my opinion the defining aspect of "Mensch ärgere dich nicht" is that you can "kick" someone out (I am not sure of the correct word here). So I wonder if that is going to be part of the rules here to make it a bit harder for you lot :p

Question would be how to actually do it. I guess mechanically it would not be an issue, draft order is also the order people will be moved in. If anyone ends up on a tile that is occupied *something* would happen. I guess the normal "go back to the start" would not really be a fun mechanic because people would just have to pick from the same pool over and over again. Maybe just put them back by a couple of tiles or back to the beginning of the section?
One other idea I had was letting the kicking player choose from the kicked players pool.
I think that might increase the meltdown potential a bit :D But don't mind me too much, I was just intrigued about the format, don't want to interfere with anything :)

Okay now it is slowly getting old :lol: If it keeps you from worrying: I don't think I will participate in any of these drafts anytime soon since on the one hand I don't know shit and on the other I need to write my dissertation and should not even be looking at this right now :nervous:

Of my two reasons the latter one is the more important one though. I have a shitton of work to do and am already distracting myself too much. I was/am toying with the idea of AMing in case anyone is interested but you have to know what you are in for :wenger: I am sitting in my office all day every day right now, so I would be available a lot but don't expect me to know anything about stuff that did not happen this century :lol:

Ludo draft thread will be up once we have a full roster, and the semi final matches are underway/completed.
I think you could start after the QF's are done.

I think semis/finals have more participation when active draft is running since more are online.

A never-nude? I thought he just liked cut-offs.
@Pat_Mustard @Enigma_87 either of you interested in the Ludo draft?
I'm supposed to be teaming up with @Šjor Bepo for this one mate and we have revolutionary plans afoot*, but if no-one else comes forward then I'll go solo to make up the numbers.

*some theme or other that will doom us to a first round exit

If someone wants an AM with little knowledge and a post limit I would offer myself up :wenger: I think I would find it interesting to see one of these drafts a little more up close and what I lack in knowledge I should at least be able to make up in PC time and on-time pick postings :lol:
