IPL 2011 Draft

[Howe_zat]

Six hours a go, it seems.

 

[Somerset]

Order was posted in the middle of the night NZT and I've had uni today so apologies for being slow to make my selection. I'll go with Virender Sehwag.

 

[Himannv]

You can go with me if you like, Sam.

(Welcome aboard the SS Failure.)

Great.

 

[kingkallis]

Cevno, Blakus, GingerFurball - next 3

 

[Athlai]

Maybe we should make the time limit a bit harsher next round just to make sure we get our teams in before the first match?

 

[kingkallis]

Time limit is going to be an issue and thats why we went for the Auction system on OCC and completed 112 players in 8 hours. ( 2 sessions of 3 & 5 hours )

Trouble is, without partners 6 hours is pretty hard to stick to so making it any tighter is going to be really hard.

Will we be able to pick 150 players in 5 days?

 

[Athlai]

Force players into partnerships imo.

 

[kingkallis]

This is what I advice in that case :

1. SomerMax ( Somerset & Maximus0723 )
2. CevnoBlakus ( Cevno & Blakus )
3. KingDaemon ( Kigkallis & Daemon )
4. Morphlai ( M0rphin3 & Athlai )
5. HoweSam ( Howe_zat & Himmanv )
6. GingerBob ( weeman27bob & GingerFurball )
7. Marcussbiscuits ( Marcuss & Xander )
8. BlazeMarc ( Blaze_18 & marc71178 )

Everyone agrees?

 

[Himannv]

If its down to 8 teams, the rounds may have to be setup differently. The previous setup works well mainly with 12 teams and 12 picks.

 

[kingkallis]

Shall we go for random ones with reversed order for 2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th, 10th and 12th?

 

[Himannv]

Sounds alright. Depends on whether everyone else is good with the teams.

 

[Athlai]

I'd like to say that my partner is a ****ing gun personally.

 

[marc71178]

In 2 minds about that. Blaze was awesome at the predictions, but average in the world cup draft (although we could always blame smalishah for that )

Seeing as I was clearly the brains behind MarcFAN I'm sure I can carry him, and since he can't pick Lara then I guess we'll be OK to pair up.

 

[weeman27bob]

Gingerbob couldn't sound like a more socially awkward character.

 

[Blaze 18]

! I'm cool with pairing up with Marc. Let's do this!

And KK, could you put up the full list of players?

 

[Blakus]

So I'm partnered with cevno?. If we need to get the draft moving then I don't mind that at all.

The question is are we called Cevnus or Blakno? (I prefer Cevnus)

Also are we restarting the timer or can I pick now?

 

[Furball]

Gingerbob couldn't sound like a more socially awkward character.

Doesn't help that you can't count either.

 

[Daemon]

Can we be Kallismon? I use flamethrower
