 Draft starts here: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3640518&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=2#post430678384 Picks are being tabulated here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1NmNwtmVbt4UsWjCoDSUfeJx8CNkUbr7tE_KZlW0t4Z0/edit#gid=0 Alright so the MOVIE CHARACTER DRAFT is like any type of draft for any type of sport: you are trying to draft the BEST MOVIE CHARACTERS. How you define best is up to you. The point is to draft great characters, make other people mad that you stole their pick, ridicule other people's picks, and the usual draft repartee. Go hog wild. There will be 10 drafters or teams of drafters drafting for 8 rounds in snake format (ABC CBA ABC CBA etc.). 80 movie characters drafted in total. Can extend the number of rounds if people are into it. At the end of the draft, you can do an optional write-up on the team that you have forged. For shits and giggles, we'll also do a secret vote at the end, and one team will be crowned the winner. You cannot vote for your own team. Draft order will be randomized after we get 10 sign-ups. You can team up with other people if you want....maximum team size of 3. ===================== Here are our 10 teams: Arkane Team Airbud jimcunningham Gatts scary ghost dog penismightier Sex Haver 40000 Vargo JoeRules TrixRabbi And the draft order is....  Frackie Robinson, RandallODim, and Spatula City entered in the first round for a total of 13 teams...they're in spots 11, 12, and 13. We're doing snake, so we reverse it in the 2nd round. So I'll draft first, etc. Reminder of the rules: Arkane posted:
For your picks, please put it in bold and include a write-up/picture/jiff/youtube/some sort of flavor about why your pick is awesome. Any dumbasses can just draft random poo poo, the key is the write-ups. If you don't have time, make your pick and do the write-up later. As a for instance of a write-up, something like the below is adequate. quote:Round 1, Pick 1 of the History Draft Arkane fucked around with this message at 04:35 on Jun 8, 2014 |

What is the draft for? An imaginary football team? What skills are we looking for?

The only purpose of the draft is drafting great movie characters & having fun with it. Nothing more. However you define great is up to you. If you want to build some theme around what you're drafting, then go for it. The lack of sign-ups so far is kinda lame. If people don't want to participate, then it's whatevs...but this'll be fun. If you've watched a shitload of movies as I am sure many of us have, then sign up

To each his own...I've done a handful of drafts on other sites for all sorts of wacky stuff, and they've always been great/funny/fun. Just trying to inject something new here on CD. If nobody is interested, nbd.

You have to come up with a rough plot outline involving the characters in your roster. You would want to make sure you can fill all the different "positions" like: Hero/Antihero Second Bannana Mentor Bad Guy Lesser Bad Guy Woman

Black Bones posted:I draft the entire fellowship of the ring, but I wanna swap out Boromir for Ctpn James T. Kirk, is that allowed? No you can only swap Boromir for Faramir, or other character played by either Sean Bean or David Wenham. (Take the narrator from 300. He's your best bet. The dad from Silent Hill. He wasn't doing anything in his movie so he can focus on the game.)

For instance, if we were doing a historical people draft...the #1 overall pick might be Jesus and the #2 overall maybe Julius Caesar or George Washington or Karl Marx or whatever. If we were doing a TV character draft, the #1 pick might be Walter White with Omar from The Wire #2 or Homer Simpson or something. It's just a free-for-all with no rules or singular goal...draft who you think is the best and argue over it. Then at the end, vote for the best one.

Surely it would be Augustus Caesar, and not Julius.  Edit: Sign me up for your draft.

TrixRabbi posted:- The Alchemist (The Holy Mountain) You pick Lincoln but not the one that's a badass vampire hunter? I'm going to go with the basketball team idea that was posted above. Point Guard: Teen Wolf - He's short but strong as hell and can handle the ball. Can still dunk due to being a werewolf. Shooting Guard: Legolas - He's a pussy but he'd probably never miss a shot and would never get tired. Small Forward: Snake Plissken - He'll be pissed off the whole game and not much of a team player but if you need to make one shot to save your life he's probably the guy. Power Forward: James Bond - I have no idea if he can play basketball but I'm sure he would help the team somehow, he's James loving Bond. And the Connery version is built like a power forward Center: Predator - The paint would be his hunting ground.

drat I realized I hosed up by not just throwing Michael Jordan in there. He's the only guy I can think of that wouldn't hesitate to get right up in Predator's face and tell him he should have helped on a double-team.

Hm if I was drafting a football team from movie characters it would look something like this -Brett Favre (there's something about Mary) -Deion Sanders (Celtic pride) -Nordberg (the naked gun) -President Camacho (idiocracy) -chubbs (happy Gilmore) -Byron Williams (mars attacks!) -Mongo (blazing saddles) -Lawrence Taylor (the waterboy) -Michael Oher (the blind side) -Frost (from dusk till dawn) -Moses Hightower (Police Academy) -guy who comes in at the last minute to sub for an injured Nordberg so they don't forfeit but has to find his resolve and overcome his lack of confidence first: Superman (superman) Coach: mike ditka (kicking and screaming) They would all play both sides of the ball because they're fictional movie characters
