Also yes, it does umm, get a group of people who tend to feel one way to continue to feel that way.

dids, it sounds really involved. why don't we just do a thread where we all post our ignore lists and see where it takes us?

This is a really gutless way to avoid screening for quality candidates and/or making a tough decision.

Btw semi random but I came up in the modforum

I can't make people post gooder. I can just punish those for sucking the life out of here.

i don't think an OOT draft is a good idea, for many reasons.

i wasn't really impressed off the bat and they seemed like a colossal waste of time, but after you start comparing rosters it gets interesting. and funny.

+1 to draft, you'll need to make sure the OP is really concise and straight forward, SE has done like ten thousand drafts and every reg there knows the rules but OOT doesn't do these shenanigans often. Rules need to be enforced and warnings/small infractions given out to those that break rules if we ever want to do something similar to this again.

T36,

If you want to expand on your thoughts and shoot me a PM or something, fire away.

As I'm thinking about this more seriously- I'm seeing lots of pros and cons. The biggest con being that OOT's big enough that you'll have pretty massive S/N ratio in terms of the picks vs discussion of the picks.

I see no downsides to an OOT draft, I would love to lurk it.

OOT poster draft thread would be funny, but are there really enough qualified drafters who would want to participate? I certainly wouldn't, and am already mad about falling into the second round.

Third?

Fourth?

C'mon!

I don't think there would be a lack of qualified drafters, I do wonder if there's a lack of people both qualified and interested. I guess as a preliminary exercise, post in this thread if you're interested in actually being a team "owner" and not just watching the firestorm from the sidelines. If we don't find enough of those, then we know not to try.

I assume that anybody qualified is reading this thread, so don't need/want to make an actual thread about it, seems fair?

i'd enjoy reading a draft but i would not want to be a drafter. i also suspect that it wouldn't be taken as seriously as in SE. those guys seem to run a different draft every three days and really throw themselves into it. although that is def super lame and geeky, it does make for good reading.

A PUBLIC BATHROOM CONUNDRUM!

Bathroom is in an office building I am delivering to. I enter to take a leak and stall A is the only area occupied. While in the middle of Operation Relieve Falcon at the urinal the unknown random in stall A lets out a soft grunt and a couple of noisy ass blasts. It takes all my worldly powers not to start laughing out loud at this guy while I'm wizzing right next to him. How bad is it if I just start laughing?
