Let's cap it at 14 entrants. How many picks a person? 14 rounds w/ 14 entrants would be 196 movies

12 picks each and no lurkers, please....let's make sure these are known 2+2 posters who at least have a record of visiting regularly and we know they will finish the draft.

13 posts in 7 years is impressive. Unfortunately I don't believe you'd be able to keep up with the pace of such a draft. And there are so many regs on here who would kill to be in on this.

I'd love to be in on this but I recognize that I'm not knowledgeable enough about '90s films and I also realize that most of the drafters will be and that I'll get steamrolled and won't enjoy it as I don't like "losing". So I'll be content to watch though!

Thought about it. I have my list already and if someone PMs me when it`s my turn I will post on time.

Will you guys let the right one in?

Spoiler:

You should let lurkers in imo, if they don't keep up they get skipped no big deal.

sorry, the whole point of a draft is to have discussions with people you mostly know....if you want to be in on stuff like this, stop lurking and start posting so we get to know you.

meh ): lurkers are cool, especially from 2003 . and these drafts may serve as a way to bring them out and post more.

I disagree. The Lounge is an exclusive destination.

---------------------

metaname2, TheCptCool & itsasexywaytoCRAI have all expressed interest in the 14th and final spot.

It is a tough spot -

metaname2, If you complete this draft you will be forced to make more posts in one week or so then you have made in 8 years. Are you aware of the commitment this draft takes?

TheCptcool will be out of town for the draft. Yet, they have already taken the time to write out their picks and promise they won't slow us down. I'm unsure if TheCptcool is aware that a lot of picks you have selected now, may not be around when it comes your turn. Also while traveling, you could be out of reach for a day+ at a time? That could severely slow the draft down. You can't really skip people in these drafts, especially in the early rounds.

itsasexywaytoCRAI, you expressed interest in other threads to join this draft. However, you signed up/confirmed in this thread last.

Crappy spot, to have to make this final cut.

Also, we still have not heard from a few of the 2000-2010 Drafters, and I always thought it would be correct to try and give them a spot in this draft.

First come for serve basis was/is probably not the best way to handle selecting entrants. Dominic has already expressed his thoughts and so has Hotdogfallacy, does anyone else participating have a say?

Draft format is looking like 14/15 entrants and 12 picks each. We will go serpentine style draft.

As soon as we decide on these final spot(s), I would like to press onward ASAP.

Next steps will be randomizing the draft order and making sure the spreadsheet is up to date.

Well, I would not volunteer if I wasn't willing to participate appropriately, but I don't want to take anyone's spot so I rescind my candidacy.

Ryan, go to Random.org and then to the list randomizer. Easy!

I think 15 spots is better than 14. 12*15 = 180 picks. I like to have 180 picks more than 168.

We can also create a rule, where we have a different time limit for CaptainCloud. He would have half the time to post.
I am fine with letting Cloud in.

I have written over 30 reviews, so I`m prepared. But no bad feelings if I can`t participate.
I`m also in an entire diff. time zone than most of you, so I don`t want to keep you waiting too long. It`s fine.

So both TheCpt and I can play? I like it.

Regarding my being late in here, well, I was sleeping to be honest. Soon as I saw it I signed up, and I will be quick with my picks.

Damn, looks like I've missed this.

If a spot opens up, or someone needs a co-owner or even someone just to bounce ideas off, I'm down!

Cheers.

I second LOL's participation in this draft. He's a good contributor.
