Reality-Monopoly Draft

[harms]

The worst possible box. The only good thing about it is that I'm the first one there.

 

[Edgar Allan Pillow]

@Moby You rolled a 7 and move to Box 14.

I've updated the threadmark. @harms @Enigma_87 need your help on the picture.

@RedTiger

I'm so glad that the ladder changed. I thought I had to pick somebody who played with RedTiger's pick (won a 2nd division). Instead I got a United legend

JACKPOT ROUND #1

Guess which player will P-Nut pick in this round. Submit before P-Nut makes his pick.
@P-Nut0712 Guess who harms will pick in this round. Submit before harms makes his pick.

If multiple winners, earliest submission will win the prize. Or I may randomize. Depends.

Prize:

"Drag You Down" Card.

Card gives the option to override all box criteria to Card Players's (Jackpot winner) choice. Card Player can has choice between criteria in boxes 1, 8, 15 & 22 for this card. Only applies for round next to when card is played.

Example:

Manager A wins the card.
Manager A plays the card in Round 4. It take effect in Round 5. He chooses Box 8 as the override criteria.
All managers get their R5 roles as normal, You move to new boxes but none of box criteria applies. Everyone has to follow Box 8 (including the card player).

 

[Ecstatic]

Great.

The pool of decent players for Low Liga box is so limited that we might have a winner.

Edit: sent

 

[harms]

@P-Nut0712 got lucky

 

[Šjor Bepo]

you should randomize, everyone should have a equal chance....except of maybe skizzo and pat.

I like your thinking. Maybe you'll get lucky this draft.

 

[green_smiley]

Box 7 is the worst

 

[P-Nut]

@P-Nut0712 got lucky

I'm struggling like mad to find a player young enough that you'd pick.

 

[RedTiger]

I'm struggling like mad to find a player young enough that you'd pick.

feck the youngest (not literally!) and go with the best.

 

[P-Nut]

feck the youngest (not literally!) and go with the best.

Harms has got the youth category though so they've gotta be young. There's the obvious one but I'm not sure.

 

[P-Nut]

@Chesterlestreet if you've decided your pick could you send it me so I can move on as I've made my mind up and you being in the same box are the only one likely to pick them.

 

[Chesterlestreet]

@Chesterlestreet if you've decided your pick could you send it me so I can move on as I've made my mind up and you being in the same box are the only one likely to pick them.

Move on to what? You don't know the next category.

 

[oneniltothearsenal]

Harms has got the youth category though so they've gotta be young. There's the obvious one but I'm not sure.

We just lucky @Damien isn't drafting, he likes 'em young as they come!

 

[P-Nut]

Move on to what? You don't know the next category.

A different pick.

 

[oneniltothearsenal]

Move on to what? You don't know the next category.

I think he means locking his pick in with EAP because EAP's jackpot round is based all around P-Nut's pick so if you pick his first choice and he isn't online it slows things down

Always send a backup. Or several.

Can't have too many backups.

Anyway, I'm up next so it's moot.

But on general principle, I'm obviously not going to inform anyone of my intentions unless the latter actually benefits me (whether directly or indirectly) - it's a game, after all.

BOX 13: LOW LIGA (Spanish, never played for Real or Barca)

Could've gone with this or that here, but I'll settle for a player I like and haven't drafted before (kind of a theme, at least I'll try to avoid previously drafted players unless I absolutely have to go for one...or I have forgotten that I drafted the fecker, which could easily happen): One of the better midfielders of the early 00s, Rubén Baraja.

@Chesterlestreet nice pick. One I had in mind for that criteria if I happened upon it.

Enjoyed reading more about him and watching some highlights as we championed his case in a prior draft.
