Clause-Mystery-Choice Draft Thread 2014

[harsh.ag]

Bagapath, there be dragons yet... I promise to all of you, the last part is going to be the most fun

 

[harsh.ag]

And I owe you an apology. In the first mystery box, when you selected Jessop by mistake, I should have allowed you to have a pick of the two unselected choices at the end if you so desired. Just didn't strike me because I am an idiot

 

[watson]

The OP said 4 Clauses, 4 Mystery Boxes, and 3 Choices - so we should try and stick to that.

Since Choice and Clause are roughly of equal value (if you know what I mean) then have them next for rounds 9 and 10.

The Mystery Box round (with lots of different options) should be last as it really doesn't matter so much where you come in the order. Especially if there two or more possible Mystery players per selection.

I think that's fairest to be honest.

 

[harsh.ag]

Can't have 3 choices dude.

How do you make it fair? The order will affect it too much.

 

[weeman27bob]

I'm happy to do whatever.

 

[watson]

Can't have 3 choices dude.

How do you make it fair? The order will affect it too much.

As I said, you assume Choice and Clause to be of equal weight. Therefore, Round 9 is Choice, and the reverse order for round 10 is clause. That way we stick to the OP.

I can't think why anyone would be unhappy with;

R9 = choice
R10 = clause
R11 = mystery (lots of options with 2 or more mystery players per option to make it fair)

 

[harsh.ag]

Although I see your point, choices are ATG players, and clauses may not be so (esp the last ones)

 

[watson]

We have had 3 Clause, 3 Mystery, and 2 choice so far haven't we?

 

[harsh.ag]

We have had 3 Clause, 3 Mystery, and 2 choice so far haven't we?

Yup.

 

[watson]

Although I see your point, choices are ATG players, and clauses may not be so (esp the last ones)

Depends on the Clause and how broad it is (eg. 'Pick a player from the 1990s')

Also, the order is randomly generated so you can only blame God (or Quantum Physics) if you don't like it.

don't say sorry. you can still give me that choice. I can decide even now.

 

[harsh.ag]

Don't see how.

Without giving you an advantage, that is.

 

[Red]

Have a choice to finish. Just randomise it. It'll work ok cos most ppl will need to fill different roles. And don't worry if it's not exactly fair, it'll be ok.

 

[harsh.ag]

Okay I am going by Watson. Choice in Round IX. Clause Round X. Mystery Box Round XI (which will have adequate WK choices)

 

[bagapath]

Don't see how.

Without giving you an advantage, that is.

Well... I tried....
