I did not really like how the A-D type snake turned out when we ran it before. seemed D really got hosed. maybe we could do the old 3rd cycle warlords draft the one that had A as 1,5,12 to select draft positions then do a snake after positions have been choosen. or we could just randomly generate 1-4 for each team 3 times. then pick for draft positions. this way it is random but each team has a pick in the top 4 and a pick in the bottom 4.
I do prefer first selecting draft position then drafting snake. Because this seems to also help balance selections out for each teams preferences.

I mean either Strylian is incredibly crazy, or incredibly patient................ hahahaha Brek, you can't declare Enemy until the game starts so don't even try it here in this thread.

Seriously, I would happily be on a team. I have fought against The Painted Man so wouldn't mind teaming up with him or Dupont, or several of the others that I haven't had the pleasure to work with yet. Draugr has mentored me in the past and I would gladly work with him anytime. So basically I am in and open to whatever team I end up being on.

As the elder I have always had to look out for my little cousin. I had to protect him from that gang of 1st grade bullies. I was a bit ashamed because they where just a bunch of kindergarten girls. But hey if someone has a phobia of kindergarten girls who am I to judge.

I had to help him get on the bus every morning and night. Fortunately it was easy to find his bus because it was always the shortest one.

So dealing with Brek has just become second nature. Wink

Maybe Ry Vor could create 4 kingdom/region teams that he feels are equal. And we can randomly assign a team to each of them. The Captains can then decide who will play what in accordance to their masterful strategies. Just a thought.

Maybe with each team occupying an area around Stormgate. One has Triumvia, one Pelinor, one Nyvaria, and one the Diamond Coast.

I think you have the most experience of anyone in these types of games (or at least as much as anyone) so I say just go with whatever you think is fair. I think I can speak for PTRILEY and say whatever you guys decide will be fine with us.

But one thing I do ask is that we are crystal clear about the rules once the game starts. Communication, HC votes/issues, Allies, NAPs, Trading 100k X for 1 Y to non-ally, etc...

Here is a draft I came up with, seems fair - randomly assign a b c or d.

A 1 10 11
B 2 8 9
C 3 6 7
D 4 5 12

Do you start over after 12? Go backwards?

**Valuthor** · 08-01-2019, 04:02 PM

after 12 go backward was my thought when i put it together

I agree - also need to declare ally by a certain turn number.

My suggestions:
Communication- Within team obviously unlimited. External is public forum only and just every 3 turns.
HC- All ballots secret. If someone raises an open issue then someone post on the forum (even if it's outside normal days) and we all agree to not vote on it.
Allies- Only the 2 teammates can be allied and MUST be allied by a certain turn (Results 5?)
NAPs- NONE
Trades- Only between allies. No trading between teams.
