    I'm also thinking about making the Villain Draft 3 a bit different, and certainly done a bit more interestingly, some of them I'll save for when they happen.
    One thing that I am thinking of doing is seeing about instead of having the drafting phase take a week, we try and get it done in a single night by trying to get as many people together for it at once. Something like how your typical fantasy sport drafts go.
    That'll count me out, then, unless I have a proxy. I can't possibly be on for a live drafting event at night.

      Yeah, that's the issue with it.
      I'm thinking of other ways to do it as well. Possibly an alert system of some kind, or we do a group email thing since most people have access to email throughout the day it seems. Something along those lines.
      I just want to get a feel for what you guys want to do.

        Sadly, I ONLY have access to e-mail at home. My work e-mail got screwed up a while back when they changed something on my system, and apparently getting it working isn't a priority.

        But there really isn't any reason my bizarre foibles need to be taken into consideration. Whatever works best for most people is obviously the way to go. If I can somehow make it work, I will, if not, I won't.

        Frankly, though, I'm all for shortening the actual drafting portion. If everybody just PMs you picks (and alternates) in advance, the only time any issues would arise with just speeding through the process would be when somebody's picks were all already taken.

          Well, again these are just thoughts. The drafting phase has always bothered me with how slow they are, but at the same time we could just do it the way it's been done.

            It seems like one of the reasons they end up being so slow is the fact that people aren't REQUIRED to send in a list of picks in advance. Having to wait an HOUR while somebody is "on the clock" really eats up the time.

              The drafting portion is always the best! What with all the suspense. And now, with the new hour between picks and suggested to send in advance, the drafting portion is done in 4 days (And four is only because of two rounds a day.) It's better than the 24-48 hours of old.

                Yeah, I'll probably stick with that.
                My other ideas on the other hand are something I think everyone will enjoy so much more.

                  Hmm, I'm thinking of doing a cast your own comicbook film draft, but first I'd need to know if anyone would join. (I'll proberbly make the thread and sign ups in the middle of Calebs draft like the avengers did, then start the rounds once Calebs vilian draft ends.

                    If the draft suggestion you made gets picked are you required to host it?
                    If so the 15 Minutes thread prove that I am not very good at keeping up on things lol. Any of the usual suspects wanna volunteer to organize mine. I will work with ya too.
                    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.

                      You did 15 minutes just fine for the first month and a half. Plenty of time to run a draft.



                      But I'll run it if you really can't.


                      Or Primus. He's gotten a 3-draft break haha

                        I could also run a draft.

                          So, would everyone say this is correct?
                          Currently Running: Villain Draft 3, Hero Draft 3
                          Up next: Avengers Draft
                          In the Wings: Cartoon Draft

                          I ask because personally, I think it's good if we do two drafts at the same time, or at least run them near enough next to each other. I also wouldn't mind going a bit more back to our roots and do another Male and Female Hottie draft, and would love to run those after the Avengers Draft and Cartoon Draft finish out. (Or, if I get bored enough waiting, I may start them when the Villain Draft ends.)

                            Yea that all looks good. I'd like to do a Male and/or Female hottie draft. (be a part of it not run it)

                                I was thinking the cartoon character one.
