I'm actually a bit nervous now. Unexpected! Had an idea of the type of roster I wanted....but it was quite specific...

I wouldn't be too concerned, being last this round means you'll essentially get a double pick

Round 2 order will be reverse order as per previous years.

Question is will there be another stip....

Well I know who I want

As do but I’m now working out my 3rd and 4th after the stip reveal. TBH I wouldn’t worry about getting a low number this round as it means a top pick when the stip is lifted, might actually be preferable to a middle pick both times and waiting to see who takes your planned pick, (the feckers) that’s why I plan in advance these days for early rounds.

Also do you want me to make the picks thread a sticky? Some miss stickied threads on their phones but its usually helpful so people find the thread easier and see who's go it is. Remember to pm the person after you when you pick folks

Yeah if you wouldn't mind BH. As I said above I've PMed Slick anyways so he should be around soon hopefully. I'm pretty sure on who I want as well tbh, couple of options rolling around in my head but fairly sure on one in particular. Just hoping Ric doesn't take them :pac:

Best part of the draft imo. Always have option B, C, D, E and all the other letters of the alphabet to go with your first ideas :pac:

beakerjoe

Ive opinion b, its got nothing on option a though

Mr. Guappa

I've had one name in mind for a while now (since last year's ended pretty much!) for a pretty specific idea. Haven't even thought about an alternative, but I'm pretty worried now!

ShagNastii

Do we need to tweak the tag team rule of 3 months? It’s often an issue.

Mr. Guappa

Presumably anyone else looking to participate can still join and take the next slot at end of the first round?

I'm happy enough to leave it given that less players are involved but if it's something the majority want we can alter it.

Necro

Correct, yeah if we get any extras they just go in at the end of this round. After that I think I'll just close it.

Yeah the hope would be, less players = more options = more established teams available and less of a need to take barely eligible teams.

Good shout.

Necro

Yay I got my number one choice. PM on the way beaker.

Necro

:pac: Funny enough I was considering drafting 'The Man' beaker but I went in a different direction

Great pick, can easily build a roster around her these days!

SlickRic

I strongly considered Becky. Delighted she went so soon.

Necro

Yeah I was pretty confident she'd be a round 1 choice this year given her rise. IIRC it's the first time ever I think a female has gone in round 1.

Bounty Hunter

Knew Becky would go early but even still thought she may slip by this round despite considering her due to the reduced number of pickers.

I have no plans... I feel really left behind! Must try and figure something out soon!

tbh the plans will come with your first pick or two, there can be storylines you had in mind last year etc but until you get your characters no point even setting up your feds ring. Really not expecting 1 pick to drop to me already

Just Alfie left to break your heart if Brad taking DB wasn't the one that did....

Necro

I have a vague outline of what I want to do and a list of guys I want as priority. Then I have a back up list of guys as well, and a tertiary list just in case :pac:

Bounty Hunter

Nah, you know how it goes, the guy 2 before you only takes your 2nd choice pick :pac:

daithi1989

Must actually go back and read my entry from last year - might get inspiration from that!

beakerjoe

Taker gone, someone I had an idea for if he slipped through to round 2.

There one feud Id love to do with him.

Alfred Borden

Pick made. Sorry about the delay all!

Bounty Hunter

Thank you Suadi Oil money

Necro

:pac: I wondered if someone would go that route and BAM - Undertaker and HBK go one after the other.

Mr. Guappa

Damn it!!! Undertaker was the one I wanted. Not a clue who I'll go for now.

ShagNastii

Crap. I’d had Lesnar pencilled as my first dib.

Gimme 20 mins I’ll have my pick up

DM_7

The draft pull is strong...

Am I too late to join up? I would be happy to pick last is round two as well as round one...

daithi1989

Dont have any issue with you joining, but dont think you should have to pick last both rounds!

Jump on in - it'll be reverse order next round so last in this, first in the next.

I would like to join up so but insist I pick last in second round. Effectively getting a double pick by joining up late would not be fair on those already signed up.

I don't mind either way, if you're happy to do so that's fine by me. But I'm also grand with order staying as is, makes no difference from my perspective (apart from the average order rounds, but that's a good thing for you I guess )

I'm happy for you to take last spot in this round and first in next, don't see why you should be disadvantaged.

I will go with the picking last option in each round if that is okay?

That's fine with me, as long as you're okay with it!

ShagNastii

Pick made. Will PM Liz.

daithi1989

Just when I had a list... My top pick goes! Damn you Shag!

beakerjoe

DM7, cop on and pick first next round.

DM_7

beakerjoe wrote: »

I can if that is fair and least fuss. I just didn't want to step in late and then get an advantage.

Necro

Ok so DM I'm just gonna leave the order as is with you at the bottom of this round and top of round 2. I don't think anyone minds at all with the late sign up. Appreciate the gesture though, but it's all a bit of fun so imo it doesn't matter that you were late to the party.

Hope everyone's happy with that

daithi1989

Pick up and DM sent. Will jazz pick up in the AM when I get to work.

Had Reigns on my list too; happy with my pick though! Not sure what I'll do with him yet, but should be fun to work with....wonder if I'm any good at writing Rap Lyrics...

Mr. Guappa

I have a query regarding my pick so I've PM'd Necro. I won't be back online until the morning, so my pick will have to wait until then.

Necro

Round 2 is up with stips, in case of a late night, RAW induced flurry

Stipulations as per the thread:


Double Stipulation: Round Order from Rd. 1 has been reversed AND no wrestler born in the United States of America is permitted to be drafted in this round.

As long as you're better than this guy....



You'll be grand :pac:

daithi1989

Well that stip for R2 kinda messes up what I had planned!
