Excellen Browning Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 (edited) Hello everyone! It's been one and a half years since the latest SRW draft was started, and a day since I finished it. So, of course, it's time to start up a new one. My usual partner in crime, Wen Yang, has unfortunately not logged in for a year, and I've copied more or less his rule set, which he copied from me, so its all good.Rules:You start off with a fresh save file, New game+ is not allowed.The Banpresto Original unit (Including Vorlent) as well as the Archangel and Nadesico are free to use the entire gameEvery other unit has to be drafted to be used without penalty, though there will be a lot of exceptions to this. The penalty for using an undrafted unit is 4 turnsUndrafted units are allowed to persuade and sit their asses in a battleship. They are also allowed to cast skills like accel, zeal and enable(on themselves) if it keeps enemies from attacking them. All other skills are forbidden. They may not be used for support attacks or team attacks. They may also not be used for friendship, love, rivalry or command aura bonuses.There are exceptions to this and this comes into play with forced deployment. You are allowed the use of any and every forced unit who can't retreat into a battleship. This exception only lasts till they can retreat into a battleship. Also on the one beach episode map, you're allowed one free unit if you have no drafted units on the map. This exception lasts till reaching the unit deployment.This draft is for 4 peopleUNIT LIST:Nadesico:Aestivalis - AkitoAestivalis - HikaruAestivalis - RyokoAestivalis - IzumiAestivalis - GaiAestivalis - AkatsukiX-AestivalisMazinger:Mazinger Z > Mazinkaiser > Mazinkaiser KSGreat MazingerAphrodite A > Venus ABoss BorotMillion AlphaLonesome Supers:Combattler VVoltes VZeorymer > Great ZeorymerDancougar > Final DancougarTekkaman:Blue EarthTekkaman Blade + PegasSol Tekkaman 1Sol Tekkaman 2Tekkaman RapierBrainpowerd:Nakki BrainKant BrainBrain Child (Kanan)Brain Child (Higgins)Yu Brain > Nelly BrainHime BrainNanga BrainLasse BrainBaronzIiko BaronzSPT Layzner:Layzner > Mk.II > EnhancedBaybullBuldyGreimkaiserBloodykaiserGundam SEED:Strike GundamFreedom GundamJustice GundamBuster GundamDuel GundamMoebius ZeroSky Grasper 1Sky Grasper 2M1 AstrayStrike Rouge GundamEternalFull Metal Panic!:M9 Gernsback > ARX-7 Arbalest = Bonta-kunM9 Gernsback (Mao)M9 Gernsback (Kurz)G Gundam:Shining Gundam > God GundamRose GundamMaxter GundamDragon GundamBolt GundamRising GundamNobel GundamInput on random.org gave the following drafting order:1.

Balcerzak Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 I'm in, and can usually update the OP if you PM me and I'm not at work or something where I only can hop on for short snatches of activity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eclipse Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Time for INTELLIGENT questions, like what system is this on? (whether I actually join depends on a bajillion things) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Excellen Browning Posted June 16, 2016 Author Share Posted June 16, 2016 Both of these games are on the psp, and emulate well on PPSPP. There's also a menu/name translation out for both of them, if you care about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Excellen Browning Posted June 17, 2016 Author Share Posted June 17, 2016 Well, Camtech is in, which means we're now up to three players. I've also sent messages to a bunch of people, but they all turned it down. As it stands, I'm in doubt. I could change the draft to a 4 player, like the first. But that would make it a bit easy to be honest. Another option would be to switch to another game, that allows a challenging four player.

eclipse Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Huh. If you're still short by the end of next week, I'll give this a shot. Drafting blind is a good idea, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Excellen Browning Posted June 17, 2016 Author Share Posted June 17, 2016 Of course it is. Hell, that's what I did for half the srw drafts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellen Browning Posted June 18, 2016 Author Share Posted June 18, 2016 We're currently at 4 signups. I'm sort of doubtful we can get to six, even with eclipse's offer to join. We can do a Z2 superdraft with 5, or do another game with 4. If we're doing another one, I'm personally in favor of doing a gba draft, because I lost my ds, and nds emulation isn't something I enjoy. Do you guys have any opinions on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balcerzak Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 I'd give it just a little bit longer before feeling too pressed to make a decision. I've been too busy during the week to pester anybody about possibly joining, I might have to do some of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Excellen Browning Posted July 1, 2016 Author Share Posted July 1, 2016 Ok, so I've let this be for a while, and balzercak tried to recruit some other people for it, but we're still at four players plus an extra for a fifth. In my opinion a Z2 draft for 5 players makes things too easy, I'd like your opinions on what do do now. Mine is we switch to J and draft that.

Excellen Browning Posted July 5, 2016 Author Share Posted July 5, 2016 Alright, since it seems no one has an opinion about this, I've decided that this will be a SRW J draft. Which means the following participants: Me Camtech Shinkuma Balcerzak Input on random.org gives the following drafting order: 1. Balcerzak 2. Me 3. Shinkuma 4. Camtech I'll put the rules in the next post, balcerzak if you would edit them into the OP, it'd be much appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellen Browning Posted July 6, 2016 Author Share Posted July 6, 2016 While combattler might strictly be a better choice, I'll grab dancouga. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Excellen Browning Posted July 7, 2016 Author Share Posted July 7, 2016 Shinkuma hasn't been on SF in more than a week. For now, I'll draft for him, but if he doesn't show up within 24 hours, I'll be looking to replace him. So, eclipse and other folks, if you would like to confirm interest in taking Shin's spot, that'd be super. The first to react will get the spot, assuming Shin doesn't show up. If you're unhappy with the team you have up till that point, we can look into restarting the draft. Anyway, Shin will get Combatler V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eclipse Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Per PM, I'm willing to fill in. Is there a link to a wiki for this game, so I have a vague idea of what to expect? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
