Are you sure you didn't pick the gameboy version?

Since he didn't specify, he should be forced to take the crappiest version.

A good way to build a list of draftees is to go to gamerankings and select the best rated games w/ all consoles, top 200. That should give you some ideas.

Sure!

Let's say you drop your Fallout 3 pick (I can't believe you choose the PS3 version instead of the Xbox 360 one) and give it to me and JSRF is all yours.





*And yeah I know that by the rules I could still choose Fallout for the Xbox 360, but I just can't do it.

Maybe before the voting starts we can have a round of trades. As long as there are no uneven trades.

That is a very interesting idea. It is hard to say what an uneven trade would be though.

Yeah, there's no way to say what's uneven.

So, for the last day, how much are we going to wait for people to choose a pick?

Fallout 3 didn't have any multiplayer, and everything I read said it basically ran the same way on both systems. I had already used my other 360 pick on Oblivion, and knew I was going to choose a racer or a shooter.

I'm surprised no one has picked Vegas or GRAW.

What does everyone think about the idea of doing trades after the final picks?

I think it's a good idea. Maybe a couple of days to do trades.

Even trades are 1 for 1 or 2 for 2 etc. Otherwise you would have to drop extra games if you ended up with more than 10 or draft additional games to get you back up to 10.

Maybe once the draft is over, everyone can announce wether want to trade or not. Some will be completely satisfied with their lineup. Others may have second thoughts. The remaining people can then make their offers to the people willing to trade. If we do this it should be limited to just a couple of days I think. That way we can get right into the voting.

How are the head to head matchups determined? If this were NCAA basketball, a committee would determine seeding based on strength of scedule, record, etc. And then a bracket would be made from those seeds. I'm probably taking this way to serious. I'm a long time fantasy football fanatic.
