Grab Bag Draft Sign up/Interest - Puzzles and Other Games Forum

let's do a draft! it's been a while

10ish players/categories seems to be a good number

we can all choose a category each, or if you want to draft but not choose a category, i can pick multiple categories, or others can

i'd even do a heads up draft! if there is that little interest

There are 11 categories. The draft is 10 rounds. Do not submit a pick from your own category. Good luck!

Are you an underrated war criminal if your war crimes are underrated by the people at large, or, if you are actually a pretty cool person (despite the war crimes)

Im gunna go with:
"Thing that people think is awful but is actually really awesome"

Things that score well will be things where the difference between awful-actually good are largest
The write up will matter

i was thinking of people who are war criminals, but not really considered war criminals by most people

lol at "actually a pretty cool person"... like hitler loved dogs, and painting... what a great guy lmao... that's not what i was going for

I think my category will be Youtube channels, but I may change it if I think of something better.

Everyone picks the category that they will judge…it can be anything

So you post your category when you think of it

Then we do a draft and you draft one thing from every category but your own

Then you rank the picks for your category 1-n after draft is over

My category is best songs on youtube with less than a million views (it can't be some bootleg etc like a live recording - the spirit of this is that no version of this song on youtube has over 1 million views)

i think you totally should be able to draft your own category

i thought we all picked from all the categories, and then everyone judged, and ranked, every pick, no?
