OK, starting Monday picks will be accepted at 12 PM EST. I'll update the rules on page 1 after the picks start.

Another selection of mine gone. I can't see any of my original list lasting past round 4.

yep, this was my round 2 selection. Picking in the middle of the round is going to be the death of me I think.

There's no set draft order. Anyone can draft 1st in a round if they're the 1st to post after 11 AM.

Does anyone not want to move the draft time to 12 PM EST because it conflicts with the music draft or for any other reason?

just wanting to verify that the drafting starts in about 10 minutes, correct?

The only other reason I could see would be daylight savings time starts.

Maybe make this draft begin at 1PM Eastern time beginning Monday?

I would be for that. Although, I think this time is great as well.

round 2: Mario Kart 64 - Nintendo 64

My second round pick:

Knights of the Old Republic-XBOX

Halo - Xbox

Round 2 Pick

Dreamcast - Chu Chu Rocket

Super Metroid - SNES

Tecmo Super Bowl (NES)

Final Fantasy III - SNES

I don't have a problem with changing the times, but how about later in the afternoon so that it doesn't conflict with peoples lunch hours?

Grand Theft Auto San Andreas Xbox

1 PM EST doesn't work for me, and if it's noon I won't be able to make prompt rulings. So it's either 11 AM EST or 2 PM EST; let me know what preferable.

orangecrush are you trying to corner the market on side-scrollers?

i was hoping that would slip to round 3, (Super Metroid)

i would rather 11am time personally.

Only the good ones. All of my top SNES RPGs are gone. I think this will be much harder for me than the music draft.

Are handheld titles allowed?

Yes

Yes

2. Mike Tyson's Punch Out

Round 2:

Super Mario World (SNES)

Metroid Prime GCN

^^^^ Argh!

dammit dj longfellow!!!

:D (People took my picks away....and I have a few more that I'm hoping ride to the next couple of rounds)

2) Super Smash Brothers - N64

Round 2: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time / Master Quest -gcn ( if this is not a compilation) if not then Metal Gear solid 3:Snake Eater -ps2

^^^^^^^^^^^Good question.

At first I was going to rule it an expansion pack, but then it's for a different system so it isn't. But the hook of the game is 2 versions of OoT, and since you're not clearly supposed to play one or the other I'm going to rule it ineligible.

Hogan's Alley - NES

There's a game I haven't thought about in years.

You can't pick any more NES games.

Contra - NES

2nd Round:
River City Ransom - NES

One more question. Are we limited to US based releases only?

I was thinking about that after Final Fantasy II went, as in if I should specify it's the US #2. My ruling is that no on current generation platforms, yes on older ones. So it has to be a system available in the U.S. but not Gamecube, PS2, XBox, or anything portable.

Is today's round still at 11 EST? Also, I noticed my round 2 pick didn't get added to the main page. I had Mario Kart 64.
