Lizzy, if you have thoughts or opinions about the budget issue then I welcome you to speak up. It's kind of one of the key points of this thread. If you had thoughts/opinions personally about Dev or someone else in this thread, it's up to you to say them or keep quiet, I don't really care.

Also, to summarize, this is where we stand:

Me- In either way, prefers to have a budget.

Deadly- Possibly in, leaning against having a budget.

Hodgey- In either way, leaning towards having a budget.

Solly- In, wants a 1 billion dollar budget.

Dev- In, solidly against a budget of any kind.

Liz- In, no opinion on a budget yet.

Sharky- Possibly in, no budget.

You all agree this is accurate?

My opinion is that I will participate either way. Haven't done this draft before so don't know if having a budget is really a hinderance. With enough googling I am sure anything can be found, or at least an average taken using the most reputable sights.

My comment wasn't aimed at Dev, it was a general comment. As I messaged him.

Budget or no budget, I'd just like a decent turnout.

I had a thought. This won't make the anti budget crowd completely happy but it's kind of a middle ground. We all know that there are certain movies we love that have never been able to be selected because no one can find a budget for them. So what if we do this: Every drafter can use 2 50 million dollar wild cards. Meaning if you can't find a budget anywhere, you can spend 50 million and draft that movie. Thoughts?

Why though? Why not just let people draft whatever they want and at tge end of the day, if people don't like what was drafted, they won't vote for it.

Basically I agree with what Hodgey said here:

keeping it prevents people from drafting only blockbusters and sort of forces us to draft older movies that cost a lot less to make. Could provide some variety to the proceedings.

Look, I'm not trying to start a war here. I said I'll go with whatever the majority decides and I meant it. If that means no budget than that means no budget, that's fine. I just think that it adds a bit of strategy to this and allows for a wider variety of movies.

Why assign a dollar value to a WC pick? You could just have two slots that don't count against your budget. You can use it for a big budget flick or for a budget you can't find.

It's not like one person makes all their picks at a time, so it would be hard for anyone to pick all the blockbusters. And even if they did doesn't mean they will get the vote. There are a lot of blockbuster I never saw. I have not seen one full Indiana Jones movie. I watch Independence Day every time it is on. Doesn't mean that ID would get my vote depending what they are paired with..

You haven't seen one full Indy movie? How is that possible? I mean, you're clearly old enough to be in that target audience...

And I love Harrison Ford. Crazy right? And yes, nearly as old as you.

Folz—time to shit or get off the pot. The Wrestking Draft is a-moving full speed ahead so let's get rolling here.

[Sportsguy]

Since it doesn't look like anyone else is interested in signing up, I'll randomize a draft order once Sharky and Dead confirm whether they're in or not.

[L!zz~]

Can you give it till tomorrow? Trying to get my friend signed up for both

[Sportsguy]

No problem

[L!zz~]

Thank you.

Well OK then.

I don't know how much more definitive that could be.

[kimmieg1231]

No idea, but someone insisted I sign up for this.
