Question Movie Character Draft

It’s go time!

We are drafting movie characters only. Any character ever to be on the big screen is eligible, but no TV/mini-series characters are. Characters can only be drafted once, even if they have been portrayed by various different people. There is no limit to how many times an actor/actress can be used, however.

How you decide to draft is completely up to you. There are no restrictions on what direction you take, so you can be as creative as you like. There will also be a vote at the end to decide who has the best draft.

This won’t require much time commitment, but you should try to keep up as best you can so as not to hold up the draft. If it's approaching your turn and you know you won’t be available, you should PM someone your pick.

Each pick you make should have some sort of write-up. You can make it as brief or as long as you like, but you should put something. Even just posting a youtube clip would suffice.

The most important part is to PM the next person up. Please try to remember that. We will set the time limit at 4 hours between picks before you are skipped. I won’t start the clock just yet, but if you see this thread and it’s your turn, you should still make your pick promptly.


We are doing 12 rounds in reverse-snake. This is the draft order:

1. SBlum
2. Jerrod Ankenman
3. Swiitch
4. Filthyvermin
5. Domer
6. Kioshk
7. DonkDonkDonkDonk
8. Vixticator
9. Diabolical
10. Thingyman
11. Ibavly
12. ShipItUp
13. DWetzel/Loosekanen

Spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/...WNReEZuOVBQdGc


Gogogogogogo!

Re: Movie Character Draft

Boooo. (At least we get two picks, so if we would argue about them we can just take both, I guess.)

I won't commence that #1 pick writeup though.

Re: Movie Character Draft

Yeah, I'd prefer to be last than the position I am. I hate being in the middle of these things.

Also, does anybody want to be a hero and make a spreadsheet?

Re: Movie Character Draft

Also, just for clarification, reverse snake = what?

ABABABAB (for who starts each round)

or

ABBABABA? (This is normally just a snake).


I don't know that having the #1 pick is super critical here.

Re: Movie Character Draft

Maybe it's just normal snake. All that AB **** is confusing me, but round 1 order is 1-13, round 2 is 13-1, round 3 is 1-13, etc, if that makes sense. Each end of the draft will be picking twice when it gets back to them.

OK, that's a normal snake. And probably a good choice (personal grumble notwithstanding).

I think I can probably work up a spreadsheet.

Re: Movie Character Draft

Spreadsheet: might be good to edit into OP or maybe a nice mod can do that.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/...WNReEZuOVBQdGc

I set up for 10 rounds -- we can add more later if necessary (just copy rounds 1-2 in for 11-12 at bottom).

Thanks DWetzel!

I'll get a mod to edit that into the OP.
