Since Hodgey pm'd me saying "Do this for all of us"and "I can't wait to draft Brooke Hogan again" (Note: Only one of those is true, you can figure out which) here we go. For the most part, keeping a majority of the categories we used last time:

3 TV
3 Movie
3 Music
2 Wrestlers
1 Athlete
1 Porn
1 Pair of Sisters
2 MILF (Any Age)
1 Foreigner (Non North American)
2 Models
1 Media Member or Sportscaster
1 Reality TV (Survivor, Big Brother, etc)
3 Wildcard slots

Now, there were 3 categories that potentially cost me a win last time No one liked and/or were creeped out by, so I'm eliminating the Barely legal, phone sex and fictional character categories. I'm leaning toward adding a cougar category (45+, regardless of whether they have kids or not) but willing to take suggestions on that and how to fill the other two categories. Who's in and who has ideas?

So is the point of this that they have to be females that you think are hoes? Or is it just females you find attractive? Are you creating a harem, or by ho are you refering to the garden tool and drafting a farming commune. Do they have to be female, can I draft male ho's if I so choose. Help me out here, I've never seen/particpated in a ho down, so I'm somewhat lost as to whether or not I would want to participate, or what the criteria I would need to be looking at when voting rolls around.

I'm in.

Why is the MILF category 40+? Isn't a doable 25 year old a MILF?

Also, dibs on not drafting Brooke.

Solly's in via YID YIM.

If you're adding a cougar category, there's no need for there to be an age limit on the MILF category. I'd bump up the main three slots as well (movies, tv, and music) to 3, I think.

[Doug]

I was being serious, what is the ho-down? Can anybody help me out. Is it literally just drafting women you find hot? Is there something more to it? Are there other criteria that I would need to consider when making picks if I were to participate.

[Stu]

Not too keen on Politics/Royalty, as I remembered it was a real struggle last time to find candidates, and I suspect all the same women will be picked this year, just not all by the same people.
Doesn't Wrestler have too much overlap with Athlete and TV as well?
Why 45+ for cougars? I've never seen a specific age applied to the term, just "older woman", so I'm inclined to think more like 40+.
Porn was also difficult kinda dumb last time with the fact you can't post nude pictures.

1 Foreigner (Foreign born to the posters' country they currently live in)

May I suggest this be amended to "non-North American"? If you're american and pick a Canadian, you're a lazy fucker. If you're Canadian or otherwise and pick an american, it's kinda pointless with regards to the majority of participants.

[Sportsguy]

Doug, while I'd like to say it's something more worthwhile and noble than that, you're right. It Is basically just picking chicks we'd like to sleep with. Everyone else who's commented, I'm taking your suggestions under consideration. If we do get rid of the Politics/Royalty category (Which I'm in favor of keeping, by the way) , suggestions on what to replace it with?

[Stu]

Butterface?

[DevSop]

I remember last time I had ideas for some unique categories that would be fun. Sisters was one. I'll check the original ho-down thread to see what the others were.

[DevSop]

Ideally, this is what I'd do if you're set on 24:
3 TV, 3 Movie, 2 Music, 1 Triple Threat, 1 Sports, 2 Wrestlers, 1 Porn, 1 Politic/Royalty, 1 MILF, 1 18-21, 1 Cartoon/Video Game, 1 Reality TV Star, 1 Foreigner, 5 Utility

That's what I had suggested for the first one. I actually will shockingly agree that we don't need the barely legal category as those young women almost all fit in another category. The triple threat category was a stupid idea. And the cartoon/video game/fictional character was kinda pointless but a little fun. I wouldn't be opposed to keeping that. I also won't be opposed to dumping porn altogether as it's not a category that interests me all that much, but I'll go with the majority with that.

I'd consider making MILF without any age limit and then possibly adding new categories based on age, 30s/40s/50s etc. I wouldn't go above 50s. I really do want the sisters category this time though since its new and will be interesting to see who gets chosen after the first few major sisters I can think of.

Remember with every draft, while we want them to be fun we don't want them to just be lists and easy. Doing some research is part of what makes them interesting. We do need some unique categories to fit that.

Who hacked Sop's account?

I also could live without this one.

This would be my preference. Saves arbitrarily picking a MILF age and adds a few categories.

I really do want the sisters category this time though since its new and will be interesting to see who gets chosen after the first few major sisters I can think of.

So is this drafting both sisters as a set, or is it like the tag team situation in the wrestling draft -- take one and hope the other sticks around?

[DevSop]

You'd be taking the set and we'd be voting on the set.

[Doug]

OKay, I get the point now, people you want to fuck, got it.

I will be in, but only if pornstar is included as a category. Also, does it have to be female hoes? what if I want to take the Arquette that is really a man (not saying I would, just curious if guys that look like girls count).

[Byrntrigan]

I'm personally offended by this draft and all who participate in it.

and Sportsguy.

[Sportsguy]

I admit that I did kind of snake this from you, but we'd talked about this in the Next Showdown thread and you never said a word man.

[Doug]

You did not answer my question simmons, can I draft a tranny Yay or Nay. This is a Serious question man, I take my drafts SRSLY

I guess you can if you want Doug, I mean Hodgey took Brooke Hogan in the last one, just know that you probably wouldn't get any votes in the showdown portion.

[BC]

I did this last time and I haven't drafted in a while. So what the hell. I'm in.
