That is 7 people officially in, and I'll leave a spot open for El Rata since he said probably but hasn't confirmed or denied yet.

That would be 8. I'll cap it at 10, I think. So we'll try for a couple more posters then I'll generate an order and we'll begin shortly thereafter.

In:

ARC
Ray Horton
Hold'em 07

CPHoya
daniel10
Searix
Nicholasp27
El Rata

We got 9 people. I'll go ahead and generate the draft order then we'll start. If 1 more person wants to join before the first round ends they can be at the end of the draft.

We'll do ABAB order.

There were 9 items in your list. Here they are in random order:

Ray Horton
daniel10
ARC
CPHoya
Hold'em 07
dlk9s
Nicholasp27
Searix
El Rata

Timestamp: 2014-04-30 21:33:14 UTC

This is the order in which we'll draft. So Ray Horton can make his pick at any time. But he won't be officially on the clock until he's aware that he's up. After that I guess we'll do 3 hours per pick with a break in the middle of the night.

If anyone can make a spreadsheet that would be awesome. Link it itt, please. Make sure it's ABAB order through 9 rounds.

Rats. I was hoping I'd have beginner's luck and get the first pick. I fully expect my #1 to be taken before it's my turn.

Have fun!

Other than land, leader, and social reformist, it should be interesting to see what is valued where.

Go read it. It's fun. But it's been done. This thread is about bad stuff. You are IN but please stop trying to change this draft. Be in 100%.
Haha not trying to change anything, it's all good ARC -- looking forward to planning out death and destruction.

Thanks for the link to the other draft; I'll have to read that in full one day.

However from a quick spreadsheet view: Lolita and Mt Rushmore went before Einstein, SMH.

Dostoevsky is the only author who should go before Einstein. Lolita . . . eh. Great book but not close to Top 10 ever.

The Brothers Karamazov and The Glass Bead Game (Hesse) should be the 1st 2 pieces of literature taken IMO.

join voight and STA are IN. Please edit the spreadsheet.

Draft officially closed with 11 participants. That is plenty. I would have capped it at 10 but just got home and saw 2 people want in and didn't want to include john but exclude STA.

No more drafters, though. Sorry.

I assume your nation is fenced in, no in or out, otherwise the citizens could flee. No trade and no emigration.

daniel10,

I'm working on my write-up now. It will be brief as my selection speaks for itself, but just so you know if you want to get going on yours. Pick incoming...

Also, Co-Owners are NOT allowed. They do nothing but slow up drafts, which is the complete opposite of what they theoretically are intended to do. If you aren't here you are skipped and it's no big deal. We're having fun here. You make your pick ASAP when you get online. Thanks.

Round 1, Pick 1 in Death and Destruction Draft

Spoiler:


Spoiler:
THE PLAGUE, aka Black Death


Spoiler:
Simply the deadliest and most destructive force in human history. Killed a larger percentage of humanity more quickly than any naturally occurring agent in the world, the bacterium eventually known as yersenia pestis halted human progress for nearly two centuries.

Death on this large of a scale inevitably leads to social calamity, the likes of which brought an educated society (which mine will most certainly NOT be) to its knees:

Quote:
The aftermath of the plague created a series of religious, social, and economic upheavals, which had profound effects on the course of European history.
NSFW--seriously the only reason to look at this is a level of prurient interest in sickness that few possess outside of the participants of this draft (and I doubt even most of you can stomach it)

Spoiler:


Civilization Clubhouse

Virus/bacteria/disease/strain: The Plague (yersenia pestis)

some country's values heavily impacted by whether foreign trade is allowed (obv).

God dammit. I was literally just looking at that organe spread map right before clicking your spoiler.

Was hoping to get the plague at #3.

Great pick. It's not so much the massive amounts of death, it's the slow spread.

I'm not sure I even understand your question. I think john voight answered it, though. Forget about any idea of foreign trade.

It's not nearly as creative/funny as other possible options, and it's VORD may not be high, but the name/map combo can't be beat IMO.

Yup, that was the disease I was targeting. Figured it would go quickly.

Quick side-note:

If I'm on the clock tomorrow between 11:00 est and 5:00 est, skip me and I'll pick as soon as I can.
