Debuts & Retirements draft

[Grumpy]

Wait, I'm last in both rounds? Geez, how is that fair? Going to be left with players who were more well known for their manly moustaches than their cricket achievements.

 

[jimmy101]

Sorry mate, it is a bit stiff but the first two rounds had already been drawn before you entered. From round three onward you'll be part of the RNG with everyone else.

 

[Grumpy]

Is it really that difficult to just add one more person and simply reverse the list for round 2? Just seems harsh because I was a late entry.

 

[jimmy101]

Agreed, it is harsh bro.

What I can do is offer to put you first in rounds 3 & 4, bypassing the RNG, which would even out this discrepancy.

However, if someone thinks this isn't good for the game please let me know.

just give the double pick, frig

 

[The Battlers Prince]

Awta double pick.

 

[jimmy101]

Ok, AZH timed out long ago so go ahead & pick twice Grumpy, you're up.

 

[Grumpy]

Right then. There is a very astonishing line of ATG batsmen one could follow in this draft. And to my surprise, judging by the earlier picks, no one seemed to have realised it. Until OverratedSanity made his pick. Lucky bastard. Has the pick of the round as far as I'm concerned.

Will have to see what I end up with. Have back tracked a lot of my favourite players from the more well known eras and it's given me a headache trying to pick a team like that. So will use a new method. Just pick from what's available and hope for the best down the line.

lol i literally chose a player i'd never heard of just so I could jump onto this line of ATG batsmen you're referring to

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Sorry for late.

George Giffen 1882- 1896
Clem Hill 1896- 1912

 

[OverratedSanity]

Sorry for late.

George Giffen 1882- 1896
Clem Hill 1896- 1912

Sneaky bastard. Missing picks intentionally and then getting a double pick next round can be a legit tactic here since you eliminate the uncertainty of your next pick. Not saying you're doing that, mind.

Caught

 

[OverratedSanity]

I knew it

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

I knew it

take the big man this round and AndrewB/jimmy will be in trouble in Round 3

 

[mr_mister]

in situations like this where the 3 people ahead of me are choosing from separate years to me, can I just make my pick whenever to avoid missing my choice?

 

[jimmy101]

Just wait Mr, the selections made by the people picking before you might affect who you actually end up picking.

Btw, well played Andy, I was totally gonna pick Hill myself.
