Wacky ODI Draft

[JOJOXI]

I'll go with Shaun Pollock and I'll use the skip card to skip Line and Length, Pothas and Ataraxia please.

@Himannv

 

[Himannv]

I think I get skipped with that one.

 

[JOJOXI]

3. SKIP: After making a selection, a player may nominate 3 players to skip their selection for that round (giving them 2 selections in the next round). This card could only be played if the nominated players are in the same round as the player using the card. (ie if there were only 2 selections remaining in the round, the card should not be played.)

@Himannv - my understanding reading this was it was just the 3 nominated players who get skipped and you are therefore next.

@Line and Length

 

[Himannv]

Mike Hussey then.

 

[JOJOXI]

@Michaelf7777777

 

[Line and Length]

Round 4
Honestbharani
JOJOXI
Pothas - SKIPPED
ataraxia - SKIPPED
Himannv
Line & Length - SKIPPED
Michaelf7777777
SillyCowCorner1

 

[Line and Length]

Just @Michaelf7777777 and @SillyCowCorner1 to complete Round 4.
Random numbers generated for Round 5.

Round 5
Line & Length + Skipped replacement
Himannv
Michaelf7777777
JOJOXI
Pothas + Skipped replacement
SillyCowCorner1
honestbharanni
ataraxia + Skipped replacement

The generator seems to favour Himannv and is unkind to hb.

ataraxia will be busy at the end of the round. 2 selections plus the first pick for Round 6.

 

[Himannv]

I have this secret agreement with the owners of the random number generator tool. Whenever the word Himannv is entered in it, it gives some extra precedence. But don't tell anyone, it's the only reason I'm successful in life.

Waqar Younis

FREE-for-ALL

Michael Bevan

I had a much simpler thought. It is @Red_Ink_Squid s magic.

 

[honestbharani]

Curtly Ambrose

 

[Pothas]

Rohit Sharma

 

[Himannv]

Umm, whose turn is it?

 

[Himannv]

Oh right. Pick when you're on.

Umm, I'll take Sanath Jayasuriya.

 

[Himannv]

So what happens to the order of picks after this?

 

[Line and Length]

FREE-for-ALL: After making a selection, a player may rule the next 5 selections be made in free-for-all fashion (ie first in first selection) and the free-for-all is to be completed within 12 hours. This card is designed to be used if players feel the draft is going too slowly. No other cards can be played during a free-for-all.

Michael called the Free-for-All and the next five picks, in original order were: SillyCowCorner1, Line & Length, Himannv, Michael and JOJOXI.

The selections made by honestbharani and Pothas are ineligible so Ambrose and Sharma are still available.

Michael and JOJOXI have made their selections. Himannv can either stick with Jayasuriya or to change to Ambrose or Sharma. I'm taking Richard Hadlee leaving Himannv to clarify his pick and @SillyCowCorner1 to complete the Free-for-All. Then it is @Pothas when SCC1 has picked or is timed out.

Nasty (but smart) play of the Free-for-All Michael. It frustrated my plans.

@SillyCowCorner1 you have about 9 hours remaining since Michael called his Free-for-All.

 

[Pothas]

free-for-all not really matching its definition is it...

 

[Line and Length]

It was, as defined, a free-for-all for the next 5 selections. There had to be a parameter otherwise it could be an unlimited free-for-all which would severely disadvantage those in different time zones.
