2014 Forum Mock: Announcement Thread

[JO_75]

I'm doing it or one of the members of the Coco is doing it. ..... I'm not even rigging this one. I'm not a top 5 pick like I wanted to be and probably won't end up with the team I want lol........

 

What's the problem with me doing it? Just because I'm not apart of the Coco? I wouldn't rig it either, I'm in this for the fun of the game. I don't care when I pick my team.

[SecretAgentMan]

Definitely don't rig anything.  It defeats the purpose of randomizing the list.

If I rigged it you wouldn't be going as high as you are.....

 

 

So can you post the order or is the CoCo still deliberating?

We still have to wait.... I have to leave soon so I'll let the others discuss. I officially voted for the random #.... We have yet to hear the other members of the CoCo to vote.

There are still some who have not voted.

Well, that must mean I at least have pick number 31 lol.

[rmw10]

For potential time issues so the draft doesn't go on forever, what if everyone still posts their top 3 choices, and if they can't get their pick in, it defaults to that list so we can pick a team for them?  If the order is posted, hopefully everyone can choose a top 3 or even 5 of teams that would likely be available where they're picking.

[SecretAgentMan]

Hahaha. This is unbiased.... I'm trying to make it fair for everyone. 

 

But believe me, I'd be picking #1 or #2 overall if I rigged the list. I hate my spot lol

Seems like a good idea to me.

[JO_75]

Just so you guys know, if we decide on this random number draft, I have a Draft Order set as of now and can post the order as soon as we decide what we are doing.

[gabefergy]

So if we end up going random, do we still need to do a separate ravens lottery? It's worked into the randomization right?

[rmw10]

Yeah that's worked in.  If someone wants them, they can pick them.  At least that's my opinion.

Agreed. I don't know what masochist would want to deal with that cap though

[FreckleNate]

So if we do the top 3 default pick... how are we going to post them? In a forum or message a CoCo or what?

Like this.. 

1. Ravens

2. Steelers

3. Cowboys.......

I meant like are we going to make them public or should me message our top 3 to a CoCo?

[JO_75]

Well regardless random draw(which like I said I have a draft order set so I'm ready to post it once we decide what we are doing) or the top 3, should we do the Ravens separate and get them out of the way so the other 31 teams can be assigned via draft or top 3?

[rmw10]

I meant like are we going to make them public or should me message our top 3 to a CoCo?

 

I'd make it public.  I'm sure they don't need tons of PMs in their inboxes.

[FreckleNate]

I am fine with public I just didn't know if that could create some kind of advantage for those with earlier picks.

There's no point in doing them separately. The highest ordered person who wants them will get them. It will ultimately be the exact same principle as the random drawing.

[stm85]

Don't see why it would. They can pick who they want regardless if they know of who anyone else wants or not.

[rmw10]

And if we do decide to continue with the random, can we make the draft thread picks only with no discussion?  It will make it easier to see what teams are still available.

Hell to the freaking yeah... That's a new rule we made lol...

[rmw10]

Hell to the freaking yeah... That's a new rule we made lol...

 

Awesome.  I assume you'll have like a general discussion thread where we can lambast everyone who took the team we wanted? lol

[stm85]

Lol there is NOTHING new about that rule. People just don't follow it.

[SecretAgentMan]

*evil laugh*. Yes

[JO_75]

So what's the deal here? It seems we have agreed upon the random draw, so are we using my draft order I have set or no because I'm not a coco?

Let the CoCo deal with it, besides, I'm pretty sure SAM has an order anyway.

I already have it set. I set it 20 minutes ago. I offered to do so, and nobody seemed to have a problem with it.

[SecretAgentMan]

I already have it set. I set it 20 minutes ago. Why should he waste time doing it when I have a set list already?

Cause I've set mine since the idea came about. 

[JO_75]

Cause I've set mine since the idea came about. 

 

Since the idea? So which means you could have rigged it since your a coco. You would have a hidden agenda to give you an advantage or give an advantage to the other cocos. 

 

I'm not a coco, so I have no bias in this which was why I offered to do so.

It's cool that you're taking the time to help out but the idea of having a CoCo is so that we don't repeat last year where everyone was making decisions for the group at the spur of the moment. The point of the CoCo is to avoid that kind of chaos.
