how are we handling time periods? everything is happening in 2014 or is this draft straddling different periods of time?

if we're doing the latter, let's say you draft Blah Blah corporation from like the 1700s and then you're stuck convincing everyone it made a gazillion dollars adjusted for inflation according to [insert stupid source]. those arguments seem like they might be terrible.

i was thinking present only. if they're not around anymore, that's kind of a good argument for why they shouldn't be drafted.

Solid theme, I'm not sure I have the time anyway, but I'd be in favour of anything goes, fictional, historic, etc.

I didn't really have in mind some "fantasy" type of thing. It was more like, you're Warren Buffett, except 100x richer. Or you're Vladimir Putin and you decide to nationalize everything make yourself president for life. What companies do you want to own to maximize your control over the world's most important assets, knowing you have 9 other competitors trying to do the same?

I'm in if the game isn't running super fast. I might be able to get in a couple rounds a day.

in, but will struggle with writeups while the NFL werewolf game is going. If this means I need to co-own thats fine. International knowledge would be more helpful than US knowledge from a co-owner.

Should definitely be regular snake as there isn't a huge difference between picks 1 and 10 in this draft.

I assume we aren't just doing sortbymarketcapwindraft, right?

That would be like letting yahoo draft your team automatically according to their default rankings. You aren't gonna win.
