It's been a while.

My plan is for everyone to draft 3 teams of 5(?) heroes and 3 teams of 5(?) villains.

I'm a fan of the mixed draft, but doing a pure hero or villain one with the other following later would be fine too. Sign up, make suggestions. New blood welcome.


Who's in:

Hodgey
Sop
Dougie
Mayhem
Gator
Dallas
Brad
Habsy

I suck at these, but what the hell. In

[DevSop]

You know I'm in. I'm not sure if I'd want them together or separate. I can be swayed but I'm leaning towards separate.

[Doug]

I'm in, and I vote for together, we have done that twice, and I enjoyed both of em that way, leads to nice duel sided hero/villain showdowns at the end as well.

[MayhemNX]

In, and I had more fun when we did them seperatly did one final showdown

[Deleted]

In.

I think my primary reason for preferring the combined hero/villain draft is the hero vs. villain final. It also makes the draft interesting because you can't just focus on heroes or villains. You have to keep mixing your picks up.

I'm fine going with individual drafts, though. Whatever the consensus is.

[Doug]

I'm with Fishy, I like the strategy of having to decide if taking the big villain is worth missing out on a hero or vice versa, plus you get the added bonus of when a character has been both, not knowing how the person is using them right away. It makes it a little less obvious on what peoples plans are.

For clarification, this is the comics-based draft, not all fictional heroes and villains. Thanks to Solly for pointing out that it wasn't clear.

Throw me in with the group preferring heroes and villains being drafted simultaneously.

[DevSop]

And we're still going with the dumb rule that Harley and X-23 and Firestar are not eligible?

Of course.

Why? Last time we had a rule that allowed them, and it worked out just fine. Look at the rules for last years draft, and you will see that we made a pretty workable rule that allowed them.

Edit to add:
I just looked it up, and it said this

"Characters from alternate media (i.e., television shows, movies, novels) that originated as comic books are eligible; all other television/movie/novel characters are not."

It worked last year, Hell, that's how I took Blackqualad with the first pick. Seems like it should just carry over to this year.

[The Canadian Content]

Forgot about that. Nice work, Dougie.

[Deleted]

Just giving this a little bump.

[The Canadian Content]

Anyone heard from Jobber lately? He's usually into this draft.

[The Canadian Content]

Also, Brad's in.

[ALL CAPS]

I am. I'm also all for allowing alternate media characters as long as they're in comic-specific universes. I'm also voting for a mixed draft for the reasons stated above.

[The Canadian Content]

Habsy is also in. That puts us at 8, which is a good number for these things.

I'll leave signups open until Thursday and post the draft order Friday.
