VIDEO GAME DRAFT signup thread

IT HAPPENS.

With Nick's OK (including this thread being in the main forum), we're finally going to kick this puppy off.

I've been appointed commish, so if you have any questions, you can post them here ALONG with your signup information.

Quite simply, I just need your name and the email address I can reach at you at most often ( in case I need to notify you that your pick is at hand or something):

Micah Robinson
Micah@chud.com

Just like that. Nice and simple.

This is open to the first 25 people who want to sign up for it. If we get more, I'll make allowances for them as I see fit.

Although I will need some information as to what exactly this is. I have browsed some of the draft forums before but was never involved.

Before you sign-up, it would help to know what the CHUD draft is. Reference can be found in the draft/top 10 list forum.
Links are very useful. wink

Q: What is the CHUD Video Game Draft and how does it work?
A: It is like ANY draft. A select number of particpants each have a turn in a round. The order of who gets to go is pre-determined by the Commish, and that order stays the same for every round. So if I say you get the 3rd pick, you get to pick 3rd every round, unless you want to trade your pick to someone else.

Trades are only allowed after the 5th round. There are 10 rounds in total.

So what are we picking? Videogames. Any system. Any era. If it's a game, it's eligible. Even import games.

The only stipulations are that you CANNOT pick entire franchises like Final Fantasy, NOR can you pick the exact same game if it's on another platform (e.g. if BloodRayne on Xbox gets picked, you cannot pick the PS2 version). That also means if the arcade version of a game gets picked, it is GONE. No home versions are eligible after that.

If you pick a game that is a remake of a past game (e.g. Metroid Fusion is almost identical to Super Metroid on the Super Nintendo), I'll make judgment calls on an individual basis as to whether I will allow them or not.

I'm also reserving the right to make judgment calls on Street Fighter 2 games. There is a difference between say Street fighter 2 Alpha and SF2 EX, but I won't allow splitting hairs to the point where people are picking Street Fighter 2 Turbo Championship when it's virtually the same game as Street Fighter 2.

As I said...I'll have to make judgment calls from time to time, and the commish's word goes. If you have a problem with something I decree, then Private Message me, and we'll discuss it.

I'll also be participating, but rest assured like past commishs who participated (Nick), I won't be playing favorites (even to myself). As far as the order, it'll be randomly decided, so don't whine if I'm high up in the order.

Once we have all the participants, you'll be given a pre-determined time to pick.

If you have any other questions, post them here along with your signup info or Private Message me.

Will we be taking weekends off?

Am I allowed to make concave the head of whomever picks Mary Kate and Ashley's Shopping Adventure before me?

Yup...weekends are NO DRAFT time. Too much confusion ensues when we allow picks during that period.

So to summarize: NO DRAFTING ON THE WEEKENDS. This is a weekday draft only. Some people only can access CHUD at work M-F, so it's better for everyone this way.

Sounds like fun....thanks to Laugharn (in the other forum) and Micah for explaining it.....
