Fantasy Draft II Chit Chat

[Valar Morghulis]

I may be inclined to agree with Danik

[Donald Trump]

How about a different theme every single time?


Shipowners
Kings
Pirates
Merchants


etc.

[Mack]

I dont really understand what this is. what is the competition? Most recognizable name I don't know

[Vane]

I am opposed to any restrictions on who can be drafted, especially the, to me nonsensical idea that previous winners or captains should not be eligible. For me, the whole point is to pick the best players, as perceived by the Captains, for the teams needs. The limiter should be the Captains choices, not if or how many times that player may have been chosen before.
Top players get chosen because they ARE top players : they have proved themselves in their chosen field and their presence will enhance ANY team. The variation comes from the Captains, deciding which fits best in their overall scheme, and why. The suspense is on seeing who has their first choices taken and how they change and adapt their team to compensate for that. Further suspense is on seeing who has broken into the top tiers, who is giving the top rank in each field a run for their money.
Let's not devalue the kudos of being drafted, or chosen as a team captain, by excluding those who have gone before : for then, it only means the current batch had no competition : everyone will, eventually, be a 'winner' and we will end up proving nothing more than that.

Well said, and has my vote.

[Haron]

I agree with Danik, too.

Good luck to the Captains! They have a difficult task, in my opinion...

[Shadowood]

Well said Danik!

Hope someday to have you as a "Captain" sir

[Stan Rogers]

Choosing players and adapting to your choices being scooped up by another is a very challenging and 'stressful" to a point similar to a battle. Never knowing if your next choice will be there when it comes your turn.

I was honored and happy to be chosen in the first round draft but to be honest, more happy that I can sit back and enjoy this draft and not feel like its a race or a war happening.

i am already exited again.

i also agree with Danik that the captains should be free to chose the best.
that said, for the next batch it would also be nice to have a professional jury to run a commentary and to give a final verdict next to the popular vote. something that is in conflict with the first statement

[Lefty]

Wait a minute. I thought we were picking in alphabetical order.

For a small fee, the Kraken would be happy to conduct a full Custard Test on each selection : this would provide a fair, frank and unbiased commentary, free from underhand manipulations, meaningless abuse and prejudiced influences : subject to the usual bribes, safe in the knowledge that corrupting the Kraken does not come cheap.
