Reality-Monopoly Draft

Do you mean his decision was influenced by the rolls of the other managers?

No. Whether it did or didn't is irrelevant anyway. The point is he shouldn't have had access to them. People have to stop fecking about skipping the process.
 
What I meant is that you'd have 4 more picks to decide on which out of the 4 boxes he could use to get the most damage.

But yeah, agree on the rolls, if P-nut made his pick straight away he could've avoided losing Goofy.

Either way I'll let you guys iron it out.

Rules on cards affecting a next round are always that you have to decide before the next round begins, not before your turn finishes. You may be mixing up round and turn here (I do often enough!).
 
He probably didn't mention that bit because you had four possible options. My understanding of the mechanics is you drop WC/CL/Skizzo/Pat and repick from the category you picked that player in but without falling foul of the drop condition (i.e. WC/CL/Skizzo/Pat).

Having second thoughts about using this? ;)

Not at all :) my replacement pick remains the same. Someone new for me!

Yeah, I was wondering what non-Fergie United player had won a WC other than Stiles (and Charlton). Couldn't think of anyone worth picking up really.

Box 22: National Loser - Drop any one of your player(s) who has won the World Cup. You can replace him with the same box criteria used for picking of the dropped player...just make sure he's not a WC winner
 
i was questioning whether the latter part was relevant since it wasn't mentioned when I asked. Since it was a penalty card as opposed to the box, I didn't know if Edgar was keeping it somewhat relaxed as to just pick a replacement from the same box without the WC clause.

For all those boxes it says «but make sure he hasn't...»

Seems pretty clear cut. You replace the player with someone from the dropped player's box who is «clean» w/regard to the drop criterion.

Exactly
 
I picked him so if he is dropped, it also thins out the category a little bit.

Which knowing my luck I'll be back there against next round or two :lol:

It's a think category either way in an all time sense :D

Essentially you will also have to pick a somewhat uninspiring player yourself this round.

The Pat box is the best for you as you don't lose a player I think.

I was just running through the roster to check the damage. Boy, that's nasty, particularly on @Pat_Mustard

So evil.
 
I'll pick once Edgar comes on and clears it up. I want to know if I can use the default criteria or not as that will obviously affect who I drop.

Too late to change the kind of card before the next round.

I have no idea what's happening here. We drop a World Cup winner, then we pick someone from the box we picked up that WC winner in? If so, I'm fairly okay with it, as Vierchowod is my sacrificial lamb and I've got McGrath now anyway.
 
In the spirit of the rules, a choice made publicly (pick or card) can't be withdrew.
 
Drop Blanc pick Deschamps

Can't update the list

@P-Nut0712 new board.
 
Good. To make sure everybody has understood this (pretty sample) rule.

NOBODY CAN TAKE A WC WINNER IN THIS ROUND >>> Deschamps can't be picked for instance

The case of P-Nut0712 who has 2 WC Winners

Option A: he removes Ronaldinho (wanderer) to be replaced by a player box wanderer
Option B: he removes Blanc (big trio)to be replaced by a player who fits the box big trio criteria

No one is withdrawing anything. I specifically chose that category for a reason, so no need to change it.

Enigmas has tried to change your mind by suggesting the pat box :lol:

I'm immune to mind games :D

Read: too stupid to pick up on them :lol:

I went with the WC one since it effects the most managers, but leaves some managers who I've already dropped players relatively unscathed. Lots of moving parts in my decision :D

You are not following. I was wondering why Skizzo cared about the non-WC limitation as he has non-SAF United to contend with. I.e. doesn't affect him at all.

Ah, of course... I instantly thought Brehme and the second division criterion.
 
Publishing rolls is just a facilitation to improve speed. It'll not affect the game Dynamics.
Should not. In this case will not is incorrect, quite clearly.

Can always PM rolls individually to non powercard holding players who have picked, but before doing it in public it should be confirmed no cards will be in play.
 
Do I have to pick from the default criteria again? When I picked kopke the board didn't apply

Yeah agree on that.

PM all non card holders that have already picked is alright so they can research and move on with the process but not affect the mechanics.

You sure? Try pick from the no pool list!

I deliberately picked Mr. Awesome on the basis he would be great for keepers but also acted as insurance against your choices (his box is great).

cheers for that
 
This really ain't that complicated.

Drop a WC winner if you have one and replace him with a non-WC winner who qualifies for the same box.

If you don't have a WC winner, you pick from the default pool.

Given that 15 managers already submitted their 4th pick when I decided to publish the list of 15 rolls at the request of prath, I think you make noise for nothing in this case.

Sure, it won't happen again.
