The Second RedCafe Sheep Draft
- Thread starter Skizzo
- Start date
Is that a dick move? Does it help or hurt me? Does it depend on how I rate you team? I'm genuinely lost.
No no no. Feel free to ban whomever you like, you won't hear a word from me. It's just part of the game and the rules, nothing you can do about it.
Read up on the past few pages, there's a good anto post on the dynamics of this round, might help you out.
Long story short, originally every team was going to randomly get a non sheep player injured. There were complaints that doing it randomly was unfair. So I was going to pick one. That was unfair.
So now all managers got paired up to injure a player on another team. A team you won't be facing in the first round. Some people have decided to do it properly and injure a non sheep player. Some have decided to try some "gentleman's agreement" where they injure a sheep on each others team.
Thanks. I sent in a pick based on Anto's explanation.
I'd vote for any collusion to be banned. A loan round with offers out in the open would be cool, but backroom deals should be out.
Joga, I hit you where I thought you had less depth to cover, you know, like a bastard would, but your team is well constructed and I think you'll be fine. I also thought you had lost Littbarski already, but since you haven't, you should really survive it. You've already submitted, so that hint should be fine to say, I think.

Sure thing, NP.
I got a deal worked worked out with MJJ, as when we did, there was no indication that this was frowned upon.
Also I don't get why anyone wouldn't injure sheep. Surely you don't want to weaken someone who you are guaranteed to not play in the first round?!

It's a sheep draft. Sheep haven't been replaced at any other point, or by any other event, during the draft.
Besides, "deals" and agreements between managers in drafts is always frowned upon and discouraged. Unfortunately, you two clearly aren't the only ones who thought that would be a good idea.
This is why I specifically asked if there is any chance that I'll be facing MJJ in the first round. I might have chosen differently if I was equally likely to draw anyone in the first round.
Anyways, it's the first time I'm playing this so I didn't know the etiquette. My pick won't change though, there's no way I want to make things easier for MJJs opponent (with the number of sheep he has already). If he wants he pick someone else to injure on my team, he's free to do so
Alternatively, you could make a rule to injure only non sheep players, and then make everyone vote for an injury on every team. Most votes on any particular player injures him. In case of ties, roll a dice. No possibility of collusion and you have your dose of fun and drama

That would take too long. I was hoping this would be done quickly so we could move on to the games.
And the suggestion that I get any joy from this kind of drama...I'm offended
@Skizzo PM coming your way.
In lieu of all the collusion, drama, and general tom foolery in this draft so far...I decided (possibly against my better judgement) to forget about this and do the draw. Finalized teams are in the OP. No Injuries. Reinforcements will be made in a snake draft format, based on the amount of sheep picks so far in the teams.
first round matches incoming shortly.
@antohan will be very disappointed that you've all escaped this unpunished btw.

is that fifa or pro evo?
Fifa I think...although what's going on exactly, I couldn't tell you
Figure out a time that works for you. Will hopefully get these started this week. No more than 2 a day.
Tuesday - Tuesday would be ideal if you guys can make it work.
And if you have any complaints about the draw or match ups...feck off

I'm sure there will be a few who will say:
So that Giggs chap was pretty good right?
You can tell plenty of deals have been going on. . I mean is Vieri really the best player from jogas side.. and same could be said for a few others.
@harms when can you play?
So, Landa vs Zanetti
You just seem to be partnered with MJJ, who is just about the only manager out there for whom removing his sheep is probably the best strategy. Him removing one off you doesn't seem right to me though.
Not really. I just confirmed what I've said all along. These girls aren't ready for an anto sheep draft. Maybe in a year or two and by then I would have probably licensed most of my better ideas.
Revenge for Bergkamp and Ruggeri @sajeev?
Will they throw the game to join the team they belonged in @MDFC Manager ?
the first thing that came to my mind
