Las Vegas Monopoly Draft

I think it might be an idea to randomize everyone from where they are at right now , just so there's no obvious advantage as one side of the board.

yeah. Surprising that both Pele and Maradona are 1st round exits.

Best-Pele-Garrincha would be cheating though. I may have to fix the rolls :lol:

Meh, they are well-known bottlers, Nilton-Figueroa-Desailly-Cafu ate them for lunch not so long ago, with Zito keeping tabs on Di Stefano :D

Not really, you are wherever you ended up. If it's at the end of a "good section" that would have been of benefit in the prior round, maybe not as much in terms of the quality still available (some boxes still had it) but the breadth of options allowing for completing a side nicely with your last roll (5-6-7 come to mind).

Furthermore, you can chose whether you will play the next roll, so it's really about how quickly you can/can't get to a certain box. (I'm assuming here that even if you pass the next roll for picking purposes your position on the board DOES change @Edgar Allan Pillow )

I assumed it did but checked the rules and wasn't clear there. It makes no sense to pass or not otherwise, what would you base that decision on? Mystic Meg?

Yeah, that's why I asked about it earlier and Edgar explained in more detail. You move every turn, but pick only when you choose to (unless you've got box #13, then you lose a player anyway and it counts as a successful turn)

Ahhh I was thinking if you didn't take your first role you just stayed where you were.

What about if you land at box #1?

Relax and take a shit, wrap it up in newspaper, chuck it at Edgar if you lose in the next round.

Unless you are very unlucky with your roll, chances are you would have gone for a pass in that roll anyway.

If you are playing that turn, then it'll be a successful role with no picks for you. You'll only have 1 reinforcement opportunity there.

got it.

They actually have a paid service for that nowadays.

@Edgar Allan Pillow


I'm game in the first roll btw
 
So here we go...reinforcements.

Just to recap:
- Open pool (Reinforcement pool above + any undrafted players)
- There are 4 turns of which every manager has to play 2. Post in format below on which 2 rounds you want to play.
- Irrespective of whether you play or not you will move places around the board.
- Landing on 1 and 13 will be considered valid (if you're playing that roll) but you would miss/drop a player.

I'm on two 7s at the moment, so I assume I'd forego my chance at a free pick if I passed on Round One and ended up rolling a 3 or 7? If so, sign me up for Roll 1.

So if I pass the roll, does it still counts toward the Holier than thou (3 consecutive 7s/3s) rule ? @Edgar Allan Pillow

Nah, lucky strikes are done with initial drafting. Here's it's just what you roll. Playing roll 1?
 
Edgar Allan Pillow said:
No exclusions.
Click to expand...
May I ask the reason for the change? Thought the system of excluding first two rounds was pretty sound and would probably be a mainstay in most drafts as it has worked really well so far, especially in an all time one. Of course I'm not a part of this one anymore so this is nothing but me being curious.

Oh thats weird, thought thats why we marked what number we last rolled. Ok in that case I'll play the first roll.

I agree, it was fun to see all of the big 4 Maradona, Pele, Messi & Di Stefano getting out in the first round and not involved in the draft further. But more importantly I am not a fan of changing rules while the draft is in progress.

Not that I mind if I can land a Worldie during reinforcement.

Just too complex to manage. Many have dropped/been robbed their first picks, so their "first" pick currently is technically their 2nd or 3rd picks. So it becomes confusing to even define what the 'first' pick is. Just too much to be worth the trouble to define them.

I'm usually against it too, but in a new draft it becomes inevitable. This is quite a complex one to run and certain situations arise that needs to be handled without ruining the draft balance. The changes will be kept to minimum.

Cool, that make sense. Also I am in for roll 1, any chance I can get it now (Got a bit of free time at work) may be on PM.
