Are the income events for only 1 turn? You pay 4 points for only 1 turn? If so, I think that needs to be adjusted.

Lots of good ideas. It would be easier to do a random draft, and I think more fun having people draft others. Not really sure who would be the leaders, maybe people throw their name in a pool, and let people vote. And the top 4 - 6 people would pick teams. I don't think their should be a limit on the size of the alliance...I think everyone should be picked.

I had to look up Eric Lindros. For others who don't know it's similar to Eli Manning not wanting to play for San Diego. I could see people being upset where they end up. We could do the auto draft like Mr Charcoal meantion. That would be taking a bit of the fun away I think.

Chevs what are other reasons it wouldn't work, besides people getting pissy about where they end up?

The bonus of doing it on team server is that you can have set 5 man teams, and the smaller teams require less organization. Larger would be fun too, but depends on interest.

It could be neat to have one Boxcar "alliance" for everyone in the draft, but then have member specific forums for each team. That way, everyone can still be together for discussing in the forums, but still have privacy. The other benefit would be that it could be set up once in boxcar and then only forum groups would need to be altered if there are continuing draft sets.


I understand were you are coming from. But you wouldn't be limited just to this server. Everyone is already playing with their friends. This would be a chance to meet new people and try a to change things up a bit. I thought about the team server, but it would be more fun with more people per alliance. A leader may be tempted to draft their friends, but if you really want to win, maybe now is your chance to try to find the best players.

Some thoughts.

- You sign up to be in the draft pool. I'm thinking only linked account allowed to sign up. Each person can write a 'draft profile' about their strengths, post their game profiles, etc. Other players can give their opinions on your 'draft profile'. However, you get to choose to use it or not.

- Not sure how many teams to let in. I would say maybe 4.....depending on interests. And no limit on size. Meaning every player is drafted from the pool. However after the actual set starts. Players aren't allowed to join. Players aren't allowed to switch tags or drop tags. However, you can be traded. Trades are always pending. Until both alliance leaders approve, and both members approve. (trades are all done in-game)

- I had mentioned that players aren't allowed to join after the set starts. However they can sign up. And if a player chose to delete themselves. The leader can sign a player from the after set starts pool.

- Not sure how the leaders are chosen. Maybe public vote or random? As far as the actual draft. The only thing I can think of. Is making it on a Saturday, and each leader has a max of 15 minutes to make their pick. Maybe less time, depending on the pool of players.

- As far as alliance pages. I'd say make generic pages in boxcar or somewhere. And this allows players to do all the interaction and vote on name....etc.

- Each set the process would repeat. Each set would be 2 months. After set ends the leader can post on each members 'draft profile' They can give you rations on waring/netgain/etc. And the better rating, the better your draft status for next set should be.

Correct. But the actually numbers would be based on interest. You could have 4 teams, or more.

IX had a draft one set, actually. The people who were drafted from FBI to EEVIL and vice versa were PISSED!

It was pretty fun, though. It was tough to get it all coordinated.


That is why the more I'm thinking about it, the better it would be on a new server. I have a lot of ideas on how to make it work successfully. But it would require work from EE Overlords.

I got to imagine this has been discussed before. What does everyone think about having a draft? It would only be by choice to participate.....obviously. Not sure if we would make new clans, or use existing ones. Maybe even make a new server for it....so it wouldn't disrupt current servers. (just what we all need, yet another country to play)

What Alliance would you like to see return and why. It doesn't have to be an alliance you were in, it can be one you always respected or maybe you want them back so you can go to war with them. Perhaps there is a couple alliances you would like to see return.
