Mr. Penis, there is 0 to understand. Draft whatever characters you want. You can go well known, you can go obscure, you can do whatever. Debating whether your pick was awesome or terrible is what makes drafts enjoyable.

There is not going to be a battle royale at the end. If you want to draft characters with the assumption that you're going to fight the rest of the teams, okay, a little weird, but you're good. Just make sure you elaborate the reasons you picked your character (however short or long you want to do it).

It's a round by round draft, and we're going 1 pick at a time. So we'll have a #1 overall pick, then #2 overall pick, etc. Draft order will be random once we fill out the teams.

It'll probably take a few days depending on how fast people pick. People that are signed up gotta check the thread every once in a while and PM people to let them know their turn is up.

Sorry if that wasn't clear...if anyone wants to out, no worries.

And the draft order is....



We're doing snake, so we reverse it in the 2nd round. So I'll draft first, etc.

If a couple more people want to join, just request to be in, and we'll add you to the end of round 1.

Reminder of the rules:

Arkane posted:

  • PLEASE DO NOT DISCUSS UNDRAFTED CHARACTERS. You'll be tempted to do it, but try to avoid it.
  • Has to be a character from something that was shown in a movie theater; no miniseries or television movies.
  • Can be any type of "character" however loosely defined. Addendum: but something that is an actual character, not a location or a mood or an idea or some bullshit like that.
  • You get the character from all sequels/prequels/whatever even if the actor changed.
  • YOU MUST CHECK THE THREAD. You will have 8 hours, give or take, to make your pick or you're skipped (1am to 9am EST does not count in the 8 hours).
  • Everybody has PMs, so please do the courtesy of letting the next person after you know that it is their turn.

Draft starts now. Gatts is up.

For your picks, please put it in bold and include a write-up/picture/jiff/youtube/some sort of flavor about why your pick is awesome. Any dumbasses can just draft random poo poo, the key is the write-ups. If you don't have time, make your pick and do the write-up later. As a for instance of a write-up, something like the below is adequate.

quote:

Round 1, Pick 1 of the History Draft

I pick George Washington. Because America.

With the first pick of the Movie Character Draft - The Celestial pick...

Financier: Tony Stark, Iron Man



The mastermind and architect of the Avengers, the futurist, philanthropist and technocrat, the man who pushes his world forward, Tony Stark is the cornerstone to Team Celestial. He has the resources, the vision, the connections, the capacity to bring this team together. He is no slouch in the field either as Iron Man possessing the heart of a hero. He is man at his peak and can stand amongst Gods and outwit them too.



"Mr. Stark! April O'Neil, reporter for News Channel 6. What is your reaction to being drafted first pick by the Celestial?!"

Nah no positions. Draft whomever or whatever.

If you want to do your own theme (build a "team" for some purpose or draft for a movie that combines all of your characters, whatevs), you can do whatever you want.

Also as a rule clarification, the choice has to be a legit character. Can't draft locations like New York City or lolPandora or an inanimate object like a spaceship or some other vehicle. Other than that, no limitations. The character does not have to appear in the movie.

No doubt there have been films shot that way, but gonna limit this to animate characters to keep it in the spirit of a sports-type draft.

He said no. Has to be person.

That being said...

Oh that's a good pick, Cotton. JoeRules Production gets a 5 tool potential MVP in Spadowski. When he was needed he was there to pick up the slack and carried UHF on his back. He is a genuine good guy with heart and was in demand. A real game changer with unlimited energy.

I asked specifically for my pick. I had originally intended on drafting New York City (Die Hard with a Vengeance) as my #1 pick... and may or may not have considered drafting Enron (The Smartest Guys in the Room) later on.
