Official IRSL Thread

[Mr. Lothario]

Lothario, if you are maintaining this league, dont taint it by posting your draft choices or choices of those who you think will be going in any kind of round.

    The posted "hot draft prospects" are my opinion and the opinions of five other people. I asked various people (that is, not just KoS members) to make a list of the top twenty people who have signed up for the IRSL, and then I tallied votes. The people who recieved the most votes were the people I mentioned in the list. I am also continuing to take votes on this matter to refine the list.

    Besides which, the list was posted for the benefit of potential captains who have not played with many of the players in the IRSL. Lack of knowledge of the players should not doom a captain to building a weak team. The list was not intended as any sort of a serious ranking or anything. It is merely data for the captains and something which provides more of a sports-league feel for the people involved.

Also, another flaw that you made is that you named Captains in your draft picks...tsk tsk.

    We are still hoping to get more than ten potential captains so that there will be a choice. Some of the captain candidates may not become captains. Placing the captains in the draft choices seemed a sensible thing to do. Besides which, I'm working under the assumption that all the captains will be sharp enough to pick up on the obvious flaws in my list and adjust accordingly.

Also, here is a question for you douchebags: Who the hell picks first? In order for you to get a fair result, no one who is participating in the league can make this decision because it wouldnt be fair.

    Bondo is handling the random selection. I trust him to do it fairly, and so do many other people.

    With regard to Assassin's charges of potential high-level cheating and other assorted despicableness on my part, I am simply hoping that enough people have a positive opinion of my morals to be confident that I would not cheat my friends and colleagues for personal gain.

[Mr. Lothario]

    In response to the offers of webspace and HTML monkeying, thanks a lot.   Right now, though, we're just going to run the IRSL through this forum. It's simpler, easier, and it's a well-known place. Next season, we're hoping to make the IRSL bigger and better, and then we will probably build a web site to house it. So anybody who's still willing in a few months, we'll take you up on your offer. : )

[PsYcO aSsAsSiN]

*sigh* I just raised the possibility of things coming apart if it did look collusion was going on...you just have to make a system that everyone thinks is fair.

Dest: I am playing Devil's Advocate so you guys get all of the potential errors out of your system before you start.

Bondo: I meant the captains pulling numbers out of a hat, not you  

[Destructo]

Let's just let the boys do the work.

It will turn out fine, and names out of a hat are perfect.

And in regards to who picks first, i say draw the captians names out of a hat too.

I think that it was smart for Loth to post the top draft picks. It gives the capitains a good look at who his fellow Rs'er feel are good. I think that just adds to the excitement. And like Loth mentioned, it gives the captains a little help with ppl they have never played with.

[Mr. Lothario]

? ? Hot Draft Prospects

? ? This is a list of probable first- and second-round draft choices, based on some straw polls I conducted. They are presented here in no particular order. This list will be updated as more information comes in, until the day of the drafts on August 17th.

? ? Probable first-round picks:
? ? Destructo, Electronicjo, Nomad, Xoclipse, Rebel, Geek USA, Psyks, FarmerJeb, Tech N9ne, Silverblade, Capt. Anarchy, VooDoo

? ? Probable second-round picks:
? ? Night Hawk, Pyrex, Punisher, Silvio, Infection, Typhy, Robert

[†FiRE Infection]

Typhy for the second round if he's not a captain right?  Because I thought he was on the captain list and we still need one more.

[Typhy]

Hate to be arogant, but I'd put Silvio and I above Psyks and Jeb.

[Mr. Lothario]

    Like I said before, I'm just being sloppy and putting the people who got votes on the list. I'm not cross-checking it against the list of captains.

    In other news, hopefully we'll get more captains than we need (NUDGE, NUDGE CONTACT BONDO TO VOLUNTEER TO BE A CAPTAIN).

    Typhy, obviously you don't hate to be arrogant. ; ) Naw, don't worry. I'm no lover of false modesty either. The list is in no particular order, other than by votes.

[Bondo]

Yes, please volunteer to be captain or I'll have to force people to be.

What is this term modesty?  In other news I'm the best mg user in MoHAA.

[Typhy]

Okay, I take that back, I love to be arrogant. I don't quite understand the "Names out of a hat" system, could someone please explain it to me?

-Typhy

[Bondo]

Ok Typhy, let me dumb it down for you

I write names of captains on pieces of paper...stick said pieces of paper into hat...one by one draw papers randomly from hat...draft order is order I draw them out.

[Jeb]

typhy we gotta play on the same host sometime, i've got my ownage back. i still don't think that psysks is really good

[Geek USA]

hmmmm, id offer to make a webpage... but... id probobly get halfway done and call it quits because im lazy.

[Typhy]

Yes, I havn't seen you play in a long time Jeb, Thanks Bondo, thats what I thought, but I wasn't sure.

-Typhy

[Brain]

ok, i give
i cant be quiet any longer
when you you think i'm going to be picked(be honest now, not an ass about it)

[†FiRE Infection]

Brain I thought you were a captain?  If not who are the 10 captains and please don't tell me to look in the threads for Bondo's post as many have.  Also come on GR and stuff just to be on with us.  You don't have to play.

[Brain]

DOH!
i keep forgetting that

anyway, if i wasn't a captian, when do you think i would be picked?

[Mr. Lothario]

    Draft news:

    The draft is beginning earlier than scheduled in order to give the teams more time to play together before the season. The draft will begin this weekend.

    At present, the list of captains is as follows: Ben, Yoda, Mattster, Wombat, Capt. Anarchy, FarmerJeb, myself, Typhy, Brain, Geek USA. IF YOU WANT TO BE A CAPTAIN, LET BONDO KNOW ASAP! The list of captains will be finalized no later than Saturday evening.

    The order of picks will be chosen randomly by Bondo before the draft begins and it will be posted tomorrow in the draft thread which Bondo will create.

    The draft will be a list draft. Each captain will submit to Bondo a list of his top ten picks for the round. When your turn comes up, you get the top choice of yours who is available. There will be one round a day until the draft is completed. The draft will last four rounds until all forty players are drafted. The deadline for the first round draft submissions is Sunday evening. All current and potential captains should begin choosing their draft picks.

    DO NOT POST YOUR DRAFT PICKS! PM them to Bondo through the forum.

[Bondo]

As of now there are a couple of captains who have said that they will if they need to but would rather not, so everyone is still encouraged to put their name up for consideration so that these captains do not have to be so.

A further reminder, we ask that you do not pick clanmates to be on your team...the whole purpose of this is to be on a team with people from other clans and the reformation of the clans here would dampen that.  If members of your clan are left in the 3rd and 4th round, feel free to pick them, but I do not wish to see it in the first two.

[*Kilzo*:TK0:*DC1*]

Well Bondo, if there is an opening for a Captain spot, I would take the role. Please let me know asap so I can start thinking of a team. I have the name already, so let me know.
Thanks,

Kilzo
