That should be the objective. Make a team of the most obscure characters you possibly can.
That's too, easy, though. Anybody that's done a fair amount of reading could dredge up 7 characters most people have never heard of. There has to be some unifying element, some standard by which people can determine that one team full of people they've never heard of is better than another. The usual "I just think these guys are cooler", or "that's a clever theme you've put together there" standards don't work too well when nobody knows who anybody is...

I LOVE conspiracy theorists. They are like human versions of the cymbal clapping, dancing monkeys. No one takes them all that seriously and they get bored with them after about 10 minutes.
I'd love to make a team full of children's book characters for some draft. I'm in favor of any draft where I could reasonably do that.
I wouldn't expect to win, as a lot of people here have no kids, and probably would be (understandably) ignorant of any such characters outside the extremely well-known ones. I suppose I could have done that for the Star Trek draft. Probably too late to work up a second team, I suppose. (Plus who would want to have 13 teams in the draft pool?)
Well, I was planning on switching out my Star Trek Team halfway through the draft to something incredibly silly for no good reason, but I think we could probably talk Kuhan into letting us both have alt teams, and probably other people too.
Who are these "lot of other people you speake of? I think quite a large chunk or posters here read books. The last book you read thread is evidence of that. You'll just have to sit this one out. Or go read about 10 or so novels/books before the draft starts.
