The rules are as follows:
1. When it's your turn (and not earlier, there's no calling dibs), you pick one character from any given television series; live-action or animated, American or otherwise. Made-for-TV-movies, talk shows, awards shows and reality shows are off-limits. We have to draw the line somewhere. Wrestling "characters" (i.e. Hulk Hogan, The Ultimate Warrior, etc) count.
2. This is a snaking draft, which means that the first player picks one character, then the second, third, fourth, whatever each pick one character. The last one on the list (fearless in this case) picks two characters, then it's the second-to-last's turn, and it goes back all the way to player one (West in this case), who picks two, and then it's forward again. If you have no idea what I'm saying, look at one of the older drafts from a while back.
3. We draft until everyone has five characters. There can be a theme that connects all of your characters, but it's not mandatory. Once every player has five characters, we have a Knockout Round, which means that we'll have little polls that determine whose team is the greatest. This doesn't mean "Team A would defeat Team B in a fight". If you think that Team B is more awesome than Team A, then vote for Team B.
4. Every character can only be drafted once, even if he was in different TV series within the same continuity. If, however, the franchise was rebooted at some point, all different versions are fair game, as are different characters within the same continuity.
Notice that different actors don't necessarily mean different versions. However, in a case such as The Doctor in Doctor Who, he counts.
5. If there is any doubt if the character exists (or was in the show mentioned), the player drafting said character can refer to en.wikipedia.org or www.imdb.com to prove that everything is alright. If your film isn't listed there (or if it's listed as a different medium like movie or video game), it's not valid.
6. Every player can enter only once, and vote only once. Creating duplicate forum accounts to rig the ballot is strictly forbidden.
7. Once it's your turn, you have 8 (eight) hours to make your pick (or picks, if you're at the beginning or end of the list). Your time starts with the post of the player preceding you (or in West's first round, NOW). If your time is up, you can still draft a character, but you risk that the player after you snatches that character away from you. Suggestion: If you already know that you won't be able to make it in time, send your pick (a backup or two would not be unwise) to a forum member you trust, so that they can pick for you. This forum member can be another player of this game, but you risk that they will steal your pick (or that they had the same character in mind even before you sent them your list).
8. The winner gets bragging rights and the satisfaction of having beaten the other players.
9. If enough people want it, we will have a lightning round after round 5 where you can switch any ONE of your characters for another one. Trades can be made and re-drafts can be done... I'll have to work out the logistics, but yeah...
