Topic: Draft Towers

[Betty Blue]

I like those ideas.  One that's just come to my mind is, could we do something like a fantasy football scenario.  You get a budget and have to pick a team.  We assign prices to players and add weight to the biggest names to prevent people having too many of the top tier.

It would need some leg work on the player values etc.  But conceptually everyone could have the same player. If you want Pele, you can have Pele.  You just need to make your team value balance.  Just an idea not fully thought through, let me know what you think.

This draft might be of interest

Remind me how the sheep draft works please 

[Samie]

You DM a player(s) to whoever is runnnig the draft and wait 12 hours before the fucker decides to reveal the results and see who you got or didn't. Job done.

Here's a link to the original, which Saint Kopite ran -

Yeah recall that being great and agonising in equal measure.

Would definitely get involved in that.

That about sums up Sheep drafts. I wasn't originally in that draft, but I got an SOS call from Tom_B who had zero players after round 4. Helped him with a few picks then switched allegiances a few rounds later to replace another drafter who went AWOL. Both teams ended up in the final 

[Betty Blue]

Quick. Someone start a draft. Wrestling, Football, Superheroes, Super Ultimate Movies 10,000. ANYTHING.

[Samie]

Stop stealing my lines...but what he said.

[Samie]

Prof, Get the simulator up and running.

[Sheer Magnetism]

We still haven't done the 'Sub-7.0 on IMDb' movie draft. Just putting that out there.

[Prof]

How about this for an idea for a sheep style draft...

Every player has a number of chips they can use throughout the draft (maybe ten total).  Then, each round, you pick a player and place your chips with your selection.  Whoever bids the most chips with any player gets them.  Anyone missing keeps the chips. A tie and they keep the chips but no one gets the player (they go on the banned list).

E. G. Round X. Pick a current Liverpool player

Player A picks Salah with three chips
Player B picks Salah with two chips
Player C picks Trent with two chips
Player D picks VVD with two chips
Player E picks VVD with two chips

Result
Player A gets Salah and spends three chips
Player B blanks but keeps chips
Player C gets Trent spending two chips
Players D and E blank but keep chips with VVD going on banned list

Something like that.  Maybe 15 rounds of picks total.

[Prof]

Prof, Get the simulator up and running.

Something we could try just to test it out is we pick a few classic sides and play them off against each other.  E.g. Arsenal from their unbeaten season, our title winning team in 2020 etc.

First come first served, pick a side and I'll set them up.  Post an image of their lineup.

[Samie]

I'll pick first mate.

[Betty Blue]

I'll pick first mate.

Thought you were going to post your Roman Phalanx formation 

[Samie]

You could post it for me and we could have the two ends of the Samie spectrum as the test.

I'm 100% down for this btw

Only Brazil 1970 could beat that side.

Could just do this with the decade draft winners for now?

I won a Draft?! How did you access those teams so quickly!

Prof’s cricket simulator was great. Reading about WG Grace spanking Imran Khan for 6. Didn’t you then create teams with RAWK posters in there?

What do you expect me to be doing during work hours? Working?

Yes loved the cricket simulators, slowly scrolling reveal the happenings. Great fun

[Betty Blue]

Iron Anus has got this.

Ah the joys of lockdown

Yes, we had a Red Kop versus White Kop match, then a Rawk team versus some aliens that stole the skills of the best cricketers of all time (I may have watched Space Jam with the kids to inspire this idea).

This is the Red Kop v White Kop chat thread - well worth a nostalgic look back:

Good idea

I'll set these teams up and we can go from there

Please do Samie's Phalanx vs Brazil 70 as a bonus for the laughs too

Don't you worry, I'm on this one 

(I'm worried Vieira at 10 might be a beast though  )

Haha

Noticed Tostao will be playing for both team too 

[child-in-time]

Looks to me Samie has a thing for Tostao 

[Samie]

The Bobby Firmino of his day albeit with a bit more skill and being left footed.

Nice, just started to read that again having forgotten how it played out. 109 on day-boo for Big Dick Nick.

[Prof]

I'm trying to work out if I enjoyed it so much just because I was starved of sport during the first lockdown, or because the drama I felt was real 

The ashes at home is every four years isn't it?  Do we need a new 6 match series? 

[Samie]

I am the greatest wicketkeeper the universe has ever seen.

I'd be 100% in too

[Prof]

I've set all the teams up for the sim and created a league table and fixture list.  If someone wants to post the teams in the thread I've just created, that would be great.

First games to be run tomorrow
