2nd option. There's no need to rush it - and the pros are bigger, not least that you end up with more functional teams.
No bother. You're the boss so whatever you reckonIt would be 24 hours but if everyone sends their picks the round will be over.
For that, the issue will be once you send your pick you can't change it so just be a little more careful but I think we can do that if that means saving loads of time.
For example if all are online we can finish a round in a few hours as well.
You run into different timezone problems and such, not least with the mod himself.2nd for me too i'd say. No way of speeding the thing up a bit? 24hrs a pick seems a bit much
I wouldn't really go there Aldo, bound to result in truckloads being online and bitching about someone who isn't, which is fair enough if they have other things to do (including sleeping). Daily set deadline and reporting back and each to their own managing accordingly.It would be 24 hours but if everyone sends their picks the round will be over.

What I really like about it beyond pros and cons is the mindfeck that it must be to be sitting there having to make a second or third stage pick and not having the faintest idea what the other feckers already picked2nd option sounds brilliant.
True.I wouldn't really go there Aldo, bound to result in truckloads being online and bitching about someone who isn't, which is fair enough if they have other things to do (including sleeping). Daily set deadline and reporting back and each to their own managing accordingly.
Wait, so when I pick my 2nd choice, I don't know what everyone else picked with their 1st choice, all I know is that my pick failed and is banned now?What I really like about it beyond pros and cons is the mindfcuk that it must be to be sitting there having to make a second or third stage pick and not having the faintest idea what the other fcukers already picked
There are a few brilliant cases where someone in the third stage decides to go for a really obvious, probably top 1-3 choice, and gets it because everyone has avoided it due to being so obvious. Balls of steel!
It would take the mind-feck aspect away. Plus, it'd be a more comprehensive (and dull) job for the umpire to sort of 16 X 3 picks, I'd imagine.Wait, so when I pick my 2nd choice, I don't know what everyone else picked with their 1st choice, all I know is that my pick failed and is banned now?
If so, why exactly do we need 3 days? Then everyone can just submit 3 players from the start? Then every round is finished after 24 hours?
You will know how many "passed" in their first attempt, which means they got their pick. So yeah you would know how many are left.If i had to pick again, would I know how many others have to pick again or is it all completely blind until we've finished the round?
Say we have 5 players.Wait, so when I pick my 2nd choice, I don't know what everyone else picked with their 1st choice, all I know is that my pick failed and is banned now?

He probably bans our picks with his 1st and 2nd choice and then he picks the one he wants with his 3rd and we're all fecked .This game is tailor made for Antohan. He'll pick all the guys the rest of us havn't the balls to pick, and will probably have some probability statistical analysis chart done on the rest of us to work out who we're all likely to go for each round.
Exactly, much like WW. Some are more or less active, have other things showing up... but everyone knows they need to check lynch and slaughter.True.
The ideal and stable method is have a 24 hour cycle. It would usually be around 6-8 PM in the evening UK Time, which I guess suits most of us here.
So I do know who the others picked in the first attempt? Then of course it makes sense, maybe I misunderstood Anto then.Say we have 5 players.
2 get their pick in first attempt, three don't. Then you will be told those two passed. And you will need to resend as your second attempt. You can't send all three together because what if your second preference was blocked in the first attempt by two others?
Deliberate blocks, yes!He probably bans our picks with his 1st and 2nd choice and then he picks the one he wants with his 3rd and we're all fcuked .
You won't know who others got. You will just be told they got their pick.So I do know who the others picked in the first attempt? Then of course it makes sense, maybe I misunderstood Anto then.
Firstly, because you wouldn't know the banned ones (which could be quite a few as you will likely have a lot more players and blocks).Wait, so when I pick my 2nd choice, I don't know what everyone else picked with their 1st choice, all I know is that my pick failed and is banned now?

Read my example again and focus on the parts where I say what the mod reports back, that's all the info you have, i.e., who is through, who isn't, and which players have been banned as a result of a block (that list starts getting huge pretty quickly as it includes anyone ever doubled up on).If i had to pick again, would I know how many others have to pick again or is it all completely blind until we've finished the round?
Yeah, I actually settled on that as my strategy! Will get a few sheep here and there, but who gives a feck? My only problem is I don't really want a star-studded team so need to weigh it up every turn: the team I want or pissing everyone offHe probably bans our picks with his 1st and 2nd choice and then he picks the one he wants with his 3rd and we're all fcuked .

You are told two passed but not who they picked. That's part of the mindfeck, did they pick the one who was your second choice? Did they pick the obvious ones? Or did they go through because they played safe?So I do know who the others picked in the first attempt? Then of course it makes sense, maybe I misunderstood Anto then.
Ffs. 1 pass in the first round . That draft will be a bloodbath.
See? First turn and you can already narrow down Aldo's identity to one of two.
