In all honesty I think I hate tappedout for this. I'm out for tonight, I can't handle building my deck this way.

Yeah I changed the timer so the second round we had like 500sec total for the whole draft. Much better. The actual drafting phase is better imo, but the deck building on TappedOut is not as good.

Hey goons, get in #goonvitational, and let's see if we can't get a draft happening on the fly!

Calling all players, I will be running a draft Monday night at 9pm EST. We should be able to get 2 pods, so whoever wants to be here to claim Champion for the first round, now is the time. This will mainly be a practice stage, getting used to organizing all the people and matches. Hopefully it will go well and we work out any kinks. The IRC is #goonvitational on synirc. Does anyone know a program that I can get to put people into brackets and make a pairing system thing?

Mikujin posted:Depends on how you want to do the pairings and match-ups. Single-elimination rounds, Swiss or some variant thereupon, or something else entirely? Hmm, I actually did not think of that. I think Swiss would be more conducive to getting better and learning.

drafts.in does seating/pairing for the first round automatically, it tells you who your opponent is after deck construction/downloading is complete. You'd still need a program or to do it by hand for round 2-3. Also 9pm+ est being the only times sucks for euros

EVIR Gibson posted:Isn't seating when drafting also related to the first pairings? Yup. But as mentioned, drafts.in does the initial pairing for you. If it didn't, just match against the player 4 seats away from you.

Alternatively, I am available all day tomorrow! If some euro goons/other shift work goons with time off tomorrow want to draft, I'll help put something together! I'll re-visit the thread and IRC channels tomorrow!

Posting from work to say that I'll be around all day tomorrow, and I'll be popping into both #mtgoon and #goonvitational (as well as threads!) to recruit folks for drafting tomorrow. I'll start one campaign in the early afternoon to try and offer some fun to any Euro-Goons who want to partake, as well as guys who don't have early day work obligations. Then I'll be around in the evening to do much more of the same for everyone else! Times should be around 1-2PM EST and around 8PM EST respectively, with definite room for movement depending on interest!

Thanks for the drafting all, but I'm thinking I will have to drop out for the rest since it looks like there are a bunch of people pissed off there are players that can't complete games quickly.

Hey goons, sorry for the later-than-planned arrival! That said, let's get some drafting going! What do I need? If you don't already have it, go grab Cockatrice over at the Woogerworks website - they're the guys keeping Cockatrice up and running right now! You can also find an up-to-date file list there if you already have Cockatrice but just need an update! So this drafting thing, how do we do it? At least for now, all drafting we do will be done on drafts.in. It provides a simple, easy to use interface, as well as the ability to export decklists right from the draft. In addition, it does provide hash codes for the deck export. While it's all well and good to use these, it's understandable that you might forget to put a card main deck, or (as happens a lot) forget to add lands before you export your decklist. As such, we ultimately use the Goon Code of HonorTM when doing these drafts. Ok, cool, how do I get in on it? Just drop a line in the thread here, or better yet, join us in #goonvitational on synirc. Right now we're putting in a strong effort to co-ordinate these drafts, but if we can build the crowd we'd hope to, then it's not too farfetched to imagine on-the-fly drafts picking up just because we have to people to do it! Having said all that, it's currently about 2:00PM EST. Ideally, we'll get a draft off the ground within the hour to better accommodate Euro-goons. However, if we do not have the numbers we need this afternoon, it will sadly be delayed.  .But fret not, goons! I will also be organizing another later this evening, between 7:00-8:00PM EST, that any and all may join in on! That's all good, let's get some limited fun happening!

Managed to get an afternoon game going! Only had a 7-man table, but things still went pretty smooth! Players (using IRC tags, sorry if they don't match forums ID!)
Standings ended up like this:
Everything went really smooth once we got going, and everyone seemed to enjoy their matches. We'll be trying to set up another draft tonight between 8PM-9PM EST. If you'd like to get in on the action, drop me a line here, or in #goonvitational! The more the merrier.

Just a heads up, our evening draft seems to be going along smoothly. There seems to be some interest in doing a "late" draft tonight from several goons, and I'd totally be down for running another. Our current draft is about to head into round 3, so it should wrap up in 30-45 minutes (give or take). If you're down for a draft later, drop by here or in the #goonvitational channel! Results to follow this when I can!

Another successful round of drafting. Ranmilia took this one down though. Standings and ranking are up Here. Some sick decks got pulled this time around, and a few guys just rolled through some matchups with nut draws every time! E: Looks like we're going to try and get another round going! Join us in #goonvitational if you're interested!
