Topic: The Journeyman Draft II - Marcus Bent edition - Discussion Thread

[Lastrador]

Bunch of pussies. 

[Lfsea]

In all honesty, does anyone really care about the voting anymore (not just this draft, but in general)? The best bit has always been the drafting and the discussion/arguments/fall-out    And in recent times voting has fallen off a cliff. I'd be perfectly happy us all nominating our 2 favourite teams and either the top two playing off in a final or even just deciding a winner that way.

That's probably a really good idea going forward for all the drafts, to be honest.

Henchoz and Kewell?

Doh! Still, not a bad side, full backs could be better though.

Good idea. Like you say, the best part is the actual drafting.

You fuckers ever going to start this thing?

You mean we now have to vote for a team we like instead of voting against the posters we don't like?! goodbye cruel draft world

I'll do a new thread on Monday we can all vote for our two favs, then have a final.

[Lfsea]

In all fairness, I don't think this one was to do with a lack of appetite or anything, we just got really unlucky with half a dozen having to jump ship at various points, which totally took the wind out of the sails.

[Klippity Klopp]

What's the best way of doing this?

A new thread where people vote on two best teams? (Can I do it where they only have two votes?)

A new thread where people just comment on the best two?

[tubby]

Don't think you can limit the amount of votes, just have to ask people to only vote for 2 teams.

You can actually. There's a box when setting up a poll which allows you to set how many votes each person can make. Obviously people can choose to vote for 1 instead of 2, but it stops people voting for 10 teams or whatever 

If we do a poll, are we accepting that everyone is going to vote for themselves as one of their two? Because there's no way that can be policed!

Maybe everyone can just comment below on the team they want & then I can add them all up at the end?

[tubby]

Yeah don't do a poll, just ask everyone involved to PM you their top two teams and they can't pick their own.  Then you can give us the results and we can actually see the voting for once and get mad at people who didn't vote for us.

That's a good shout.

[Klippity Klopp]

They might as well just comment below.

Then everyone can see who voted for who.  No need to PM me.

I'm doing the thread now.

But then people could see who is getting the most votes and then vote tactically.

Haha.

Well I have done it now.

Hopefully people vote honestly.
