BBM Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 (edited) So, this draft is partially inspired by CR-S01's FE8 Round-Robin draft, in that players do not know the identity of the unit they pick, and must choose based off character descriptions that are provided. However, there are some differences. First off, this if FE7, not FE8. Secondly, the Round-Robin element has been removed. And finally, the character descriptions are much more gameplay related. Drafting: 1. This draft is for 5 players. 2. Hector, Marcus, Wil, Merlinus, Ninian/Nils, and Athos are free for all to use. 3. Bartre and Karla will be described and drafted as one unit. 4. Geitz and Wallace will be described and drafted as one unit. 5. Marcus is banned after Chapter 16. 6. The game will be played on Hector Normal Mode, skipping Lyn Mode. Rules: 1. Undrafted units may recruit characters, rescue undrafted units and NPCs, trade, visit Shops and Armories, and dig up items in the desert. 2. Undrafted units may not do anything not listed above, including but not limited to meatshielding, building Supports, opening Doors or Chests, talking to Fargus in Chapter 17x, or Seizing Castles in Chapter 25. 3. All Gaiden Chapters except 19xx, 23x and 28x are required to be visited. 23x and 28x may be visited at the player's discretion, and don't count towards the total turncount up to 20 turns taken per chapter. 4. Other units may do as they please without penalty. 6. Undrafted units will be banned. Penalties: 1. Undrafted units have a 4 turn penalty, per unit per chapter. Exceptions: 1. Meatshielding is allowed for Chapter 13x. 2. Lyn, Kent, and Sain are free for Chapter 16. 2. Is prepromoted. (Geitz/Wallace) 3. Can use more than one type of weapon. (Pent) 4.

Baldrick Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 (edited) I want to be hit, but I still haven't started the last FE7 draft I joined. I might not get to the end of my list for a while, so I probably shouldn't. If anyone wants me to be the Mark to their Lyn, though, I'd be happy to oblige.

Sunwoo Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Uh, I just realized that I'm not going to be here later today. I'll be heading back to my university. :/ If you guys don't want to wait for me all day during drafting, just let Cam have my spot. If you want to wait for me, I'll see you all tomorrow.

If this were a normal draft I could just do that, but with all these hints I'd actually want to sit down and think about who all these units are ... Aw, screw it. I have my Olympics FE8 draft to do anyway. Just let Cam have my spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT075 Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 you sure? i actually had a different idea for fe8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The clues range from fairly obvious to vague as hell (gaining a weapon type on promotion means that you're not Dart/Guy/archer/thief).

Sunwoo Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 you sure? I'm sure. I probably shouldn't have signed up for this one in the first place. :P The clues range from fairly obvious to vague as hell (gaining a weapon type on promotion means that you're not Dart/Guy/archer/thief). Hahaha, exactly. They're good enough hints, but have the possibility of screwing you over if you guess wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBM Posted August 13, 2012 Author Share Posted August 13, 2012 (edited) Okay, first off, Paperblade messaged me with some questions about the hints because he wanted to figure the characters out (but he didn't want to actually play, the jerk), so here are the answers, to help everyone out in their guesses: 3. Do staves count as weapons?- Yes 6. Does this include Con?- Yes 6. Is this inclusive? ie can a stat = 10- No 8. Does Lyn Mode count (this is only relevant to Rath)?- No 9. Do staves count as weapons?- Yes 11. Does this include units that show up as enemies in a map before they're recruited (such as Dart), in cutscenes (such as Jaffar)?- Yes 11. Does Lyn Mode count?- No 13. Does this mean "cannot ever have a mount?"- Yes 15. Does Lyn Mode count?- No 16. Does Lyn Mode count?- No 19. Does this include classes that have no playable female counterpart but includes data for the female class (such as Nomad Trooper, - Yes 20. Do units that show up as NPCs before they're playable count (ie Eliwood)?- Yes 20. Does Lyn Mode count?- No 22. Does this count prepromos?- No 31. Does this include commands that aren't available in Hector Mode (ie Lyn and Eliwood can Seize in their respective modes)?- No 31. Does this factor in that Cleric/Troubadour cannot use Attack?- No 34. Is this limited to just Hector Mode recruitments?- Yes 34. Does this include people who are recruited via village?- Yes 36. Does this include HHM boosts (yes, this matters for Guy vs. Karel)?- No 36. Do ties count?- No (the winner should be clearly ahead) The most important things are that Staves count as weapons, LM does not count for factoring in base stats, and HNM only is assumed. And the Drafting Order is.... 1. Camtech 2. Nuxl 3. Eclipse 4. Kopfjager 5. Second Pronoun Drafting can now begin! Also, for my amusement, I'd like everybody to say who they think they're picking when they pick someone. So for example, if someone picked 2, they might think it was Sain, and they'd say that. Also, you guys can send your picking lists to me if you won't be here, since I'm impartial. Edited August 13, 2012 by BigBangMeteor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT075 Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 #4 is obviously [redacted] i'd be a scrub and choose "can fly" but it's probably some fucker like vaida so let's go with "#16 - loses AS from one of their starting weapons" because of a hunch also i'll leave a list with whoever because it's nearly midnight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
