Announcement: 2nd lion's board game coming soon!

[Grimreepah]

Works for me.

Now how are we going to work out the order and draft years?

Perhaps we could create a post with random numbers (where each number, or should I say year, is equally represented). Then we use a modification of the random allocation method previously described.

Does this make sense?

Alternatively we could choose our own good and bad drafts.

Random is best. I'd hate to kill my team before I had even started to pick players yet...

Good one.

Might need an independent person to do it though.

 

[Grimreepah]

Bugger it. I'll do it.

 

[Grimreepah]

The order is team 1 good, team 1 dud, team 2 good, team 2 bad, etc.

Results

Team 1: Good = 1999, Dud = 2004
Team 2: Good = 1996, Dud = 1997
Team 3: Good = 1998, Dud = 1995
Team 4: Good = 2002, Dud = 2003
Team 5: Good = 2000, Dud = 2001

Now to rank the 5 contestants...

Your link gives a new random number generation every time

I hadn't thought of that. Not that it matters.

 

[Warwick]

Ok good one. Now we need to rank the teams. How are we going to do that? Explain your system again Grim.

Team 5's dud draft in 2001. They aint gonna be happy.

Ideally an independent/neutral person should rank the teams (using joshhem's random number website).

 

[Warwick]

Well what if we go in alphabetical order for that random website:

Cozi (between 1-20)
Grimreepah (21-40)
joshhem (41-60)
toddy (61-80)
Warwick (81-100)

So a neutral person generates numbers between 1 and 100, they post the results on this page, and we determine the teams that way. Say for example the results were:

24 - Grim Team 1
82 - Warwick Team 2
16 - Cozi Team 3
43 - joshhem team 4
69 - toddy team 5

Ill find a neutral BigFooty poster, just a sec.

Yep. I was thinking numbers 1 to 5 instead of 1 to 100, but same thing. How many aliases do you currently use Warwick?

Just the three.

I've asked philhawk to view this page.

Ok phil if you are there can you please go to that random numbers site and generate an order of numbers 1-5 and post the results. It would be much appreciated! I don't trust Grimreepah.

http://www.random.org/sform.html

 

[Philhawk]

Righto, give me a second.

 

[Philhawk]

If you mean generating numbers between 1 - 5, then I got,

2
5
1
4
3

Is that what you meant, or did you want it between other numbers?

 

[Warwick]

That will do great. Thanks philhawk!! Much appreciated.

Ok the draft order is:

Team 1: Grimreepah
Team 2: Warwick
Team 3: Cozi
Team 4: toddy
Team 5: joshhem.

If i remember correctly, the existing players have the same teams from the last game. Maybe an omen.

Edit: I forgot about the draft years.

Team 1: Good = 1999, Dud = 2004
Team 2: Good = 1996, Dud = 1997
Team 3: Good = 1998, Dud = 1995
Team 4: Good = 2002, Dud = 2003
Team 5: Good = 2000, Dud = 2001

I'll get philhawk to do the same thing. We are in alphabetical order again:
1. Cozi
2. Grimreepah
3. joshhem
4. toddy
5. Warwick

and the order determines which set of draft years you get.

 

[Grimreepah]

I'll get philhawk to do the same thing.

Oh...

I had presumed team 1 would be team 1, team 2 = team 2, etc.

 

[joshhem]

Ok the draft order is:

Team 1: Grimreepah
Team 2: Warwick
Team 3: Cozi
Team 4: toddy
Team 5: joshhem.

um, Warwick how did you get that? It doesn't match up with alphabetical order and phil's numbers....

 

[Warwick]

Oh ok, i see. Then the final teams are:

Team 1: Grimreepah (gun draft = 1999, dud draft = 2004).
Team 2: Warwick (gun draft = 1996, dud draft = 1997).
Team 3: Cozi (gun draft = 1998, dud draft = 1995).
Team 4: toddy (gun draft = 2002, dud draft = 2003)
Team 5: joshhem (gun draft = 2000, dud draft = 2001).

Well we can't do much more until everyone gets on. I'll start the official thread now. Me and you can have our first picks anyway Grim. It might be harder to have all 5 on at the same time, so it may be scattered in parts.

 

[Warwick]

um, Warwick how did you get that? It doesn't match up with alphabetical order and phil's numbers....

Alphabetical order:
1. Cozi
2. Grimreepah
3. Joshhem
4. toddy
5. Warwick

Phil's numbers:
2
5
1
4
3

Therefore the order is:
1. Grimreepah (2)
2. Warwick (5)
3. Cozi (1)
4. toddy (4)
5. joshhem (3)

Does everyone follow?

 

[joshhem]

That's a bit backwards, but I guess you're the rules man...

 

[toddy]

Joshhem's price will go down now surely!

 

[Grimreepah]

Well I'm happy with the draw I have been given, but if anyone is uncomfortable with the process we can do it again.

 

[joshhem]

I'm happy - it's completely random

 

[Warwick]

What part are people confused about? (Don't mention the entire process).

I'm happy to do it again if needs be but it will be just as random the next time. Does anyone want it done again or are we happy to continue?

The order should be perfectly fair, it just continues to go: 1 2 3 4 5 5 4 3 2 1 until we finish. Therefore, team 5 gets their 2 picks before everyone else.

The drafts were decided by a random number cruncher, as was the draft order.

Btw, if you think this is tough, have a look at how the Adelaide board is playing their game. It just continues in order, ie. 1 2 3 4 5 1 2 3 4 5 1 2 3 4 5
