Nice one, normally I'd put up the next round order now but given we're so close to the Rumble it can wait till tomorrow

paulie21 · 28-01-2019 08:39AM

Pick made nearly sure neither have been in picked. Ruat PM’ed

Necro · 28-01-2019 09:21AM

Round 12 order up folks. Not posting times or anything just yet as the Rumble was only on last night.

I have them though if anyone wishes to verify them, just send me a PM

SlickRic · 28-01-2019 01:58PM

Pick made.
PM sent to Lord TSC.

Malenko is too good to turn down, and I may as well get Saturn as a bonus.

Lord TSC · 28-01-2019 03:46PM

Gotta run out for a bit but I'll get my pick up as soon as I get back

I don't know why I thought Malenko was already gone, great pick as is Sherri at this stage

Lord TSC · 28-01-2019 05:52PM

I'm making a pick I'm 95% sure qualify as a tag team cause they've been teaming together on Impact since August, according to the records I can find. But I don't really watch TNA so hope I'm reading it right :P

The main pick also runs under a few names, but I'm also 95% no one has picked him yet either.

Lord TSC · 28-01-2019 05:55PM

And done. Pentagon and Fenix.

The two have tagged together on Impact 9 times since July (as well as being current Impact champions) so they qualify, and no one else had them, yeah?

Necro · 28-01-2019 05:57PM

Yep, all good from a brief look Lord. I think DM_7 is the only one left to pick this round now.

:pac: We'd all deserve it too

DM_7 · 28-01-2019 06:37PM

At this stage I have no idea who is left or who to pick so I am picking almost at random!

Pick made anyway.

Necro · 28-01-2019 06:43PM

How many matches are folks planning on their cards this year? I've tentatively got I think 4 currently with plans for each. I'll likely add a fifth but I can't see me adding any more than that this year (which might be music to some people's ears given my penchant for a lot in the past :pac: )

I had not planned to go crazy with the number of matches this year and yet I am currently expecting around 8!

Already have all the needed participants for 5 planned ones as things stand. That said most of mine will be 1on1 bouts and im guessing given who you have on your roster and the low number 1 of yours might be a big faction war.

I have not started writing anything really still (despite the above perculating plans) and probably won't for another 2 weeks due to travelling over Chinese New Year but did mean to confirm the show limit this year so that I could pre plan to some extent. Was it 4 shows (could be 5 posts if a PPV was split over 2) or am I mis-remembering last years?

4 posts, use them how you like.

So as per beaker's example last year:
1 introductory post
1 show or feud highlight
2 for the PPV.

I don't mind other variations though as long as the four posts are adhered to.

As for the faction war.... I might be going in that direction :pac:

I have 6 matches planned at the minute depending on one future pick. Could easily change depending on who else I draft. I know I said before we started that I'd likely only be a PPV Card this year but I quite like some of the feuds I thought of a couple nights ago and mightn't be able to resist writing them.

As I said before the Rumble, the Draft seems to have rebooted my wrestling enthusiasm :P

JP Liz V1 · 29-01-2019 08:18PM

I'll try and get my pick up soon, Nattie was my top pick for this round

ShagNastii · 29-01-2019 08:23PM

Eh Liz I did a bit of a ninja edit 20 mins after my pick. Look again.

I hope this isn’t a problem for anyone who may have picked up on it.

Ha 20 mins.... more like an hour. Ha.

ShagNastii · 29-01-2019 09:03PM

Ah Beak I couldn’t claim anything as a “ninja edit” if I correctly admitted it took an hour.

I appreciate the edit but I have changed some plans now so picked the forgotten Rocker (underrated too) Marty Jannetty who despite what Heenan said did not throw himself through the window to escape HBK

Necro · 29-01-2019 10:38PM

That is quite the pick Alfred, I didn't release the longest incarnation of Doink teamed with Farooq back in WCW. Nicely researched, not sure if that pick has been made before.

Faarooq is a former World Champion so most years it wouldn't have been allowed anyway. Great pick though, especially with Bradshaw already on the roster.

Necro · 30-01-2019 11:04AM

I'll post round 13 up tonight as I'm away for most of tomorrow.

DM_7 · 30-01-2019 11:04AM

Round 13 already!

I know :eek:

Pace has slowed the last few days but it's not even Feb yet!

Bounty Hunter · 30-01-2019 11:12AM

loving the pace tbh even though I don't think I'll be ready to write for a while and had not expected to have to for ages given the writting process usually ends around Mania time!

Necro · 30-01-2019 11:13AM

Speaking of rounds, I said I'd ask the rest of you as I can't decide myself which would be preferable.

Do you guys want....

A) An average ordered Round 15 with a double pick stipulation

OR

Average ordered round 15 with a different stip, and a bonus round 16.

Opening it to the floor on what you would prefer
