Off season draft game

[Danger in Texas]

What's Zac Dawson? Something like Duckworth & Lewis but for footy?

Criteria 4: Zac Dawson - which ever team has Zac Dawson gets 10 bonus points!

 

[Danger in Texas]

That would be awesome mate. Cheers!

No worries, mate

 

[Keystone agony]

Im ready to bid 400mill on Watson + Dangerfield (200 each)

 

[The Prosecutor]

I'm in if there's still a spot.

 

[Dwight Schrute]

So are we going to start this soon?

We need someone prepared to run it, which means listing the groups of players to bid on, taking bids via PM then updating winning bids/teams.

We are ready to go once someone volunteers.

We need1 more judge also but that won't stop us from starting.

Arnt that what mods are really for, bit piss poor we cant get someone to run it. I wouldve thought mods need to be on this board most days? surely they are the ones that try and make this board as good as it and enjoyable for others?

 

[SirJimi05]

There's not much to it but it's a personal choice. I'm sure they are busy enough doing the moderating.

In fairness, this doesn't exactly fall under regular mod duties, just cos us plebs want to run a laborious fantasy game, doesn't mean a mod has to run it/endasskiss

 

[Jade]

If it helps, I will give up my spot to run the comp and be a judge.

Judge isn't the issue, mate. We can fill that easily and have plenty of time to do so. Thanks anyway, man.

Did you miss the part where he said "run the comp"

 

[SirJimi05]

Ooh yes I did miss that part. My bad.

Only if you're sure Jade? Would be much appreciated!

By the way guys we have 24 hours to put our bids in!

Yeah happy to. Would look to start on Wednesday, so I have tomorrow to get prepared.

Its a pretty big ask.

Im guessing you have to come up with the 12 different players each day or two days.

Then your getting bids on every one of the 12 players from 10 different posters/coaches and determining who has the highest bid.

I guess once you get a template you might be alright. Like people should just copy the names and send in the bid next to the players they wish to bid on, leaving those blank that they dont wish to bid on.

Going to be a lot of work for Jade.
Is there anyway we could modify the game so it is run easier?

Could just do the draft game like last off-season.
All we would need is 2 threads. A discussion thread and an official picks thread.

 

[Jade]

It's not as much work as you think.

 

[monty1104]

Good, Wednesday start suits me As long as it isn't tomorrow IDGAF TBH.

This is a different game.

It shouldnt be too hard.

EXAMPLE (EACH PERSON SENDS THIS TO HIM WITH PRICES NEXT TO PLAYERS THEY BID FOR)
Jason Porplyzia 800k
Joel Patfull 1mill
Brock McLean 500k
Dane Swan 4 mill
Harry Taylor 2 mill
Adam Treolar
Nathan Jones 300k
Nathan Grima
Reece Conca 400k
Ben McEvoy 1mill
Adam Goodes 3mill
Jack Darling 800k

Than after the day to days he opens up the 10 team coaches/posters with 10 separate windows and writes down the winner of each, than posting in thread.

The new 12 players are than put up the same time as who gets which player(s) from the previous day(s)

Those are actually pretty tiring to run. I have confidence in Jade, he'll be fine

 

[Jade]

Just get a tenth team. The work is minimal for me.

 

[daz17]

Understand now. Thanks.

 

[Keystone agony]

Who keeps check of the salary? it it going to be the coaches themselves which i expect everyone is mature enough to do now or would people prefer it to be done by someone else, like Jade or is that too much (may be).

 

[Jade]

Was planning on doing that as well.

 

[Jade]

Guys trust me. I'm an analyst for my day job, and have software available to me which will make this a piece of piss.
