To Prove that Seth Rocks Even EXP Drafts

[BBM]

So this draft is created especially to prove to SB and CR that Seth, if draftable, would be firstpick even in EXP drafts. As such, he is draftable, and I get firstpick. In addition, CR and SB are auto-signed up, but we need one more drafter.

Drafting:

1. This draft is for 4 players.

2. Eirika/Ephraim, Orson, Tethys, Ross, and Myrrh are free for all to use.

3. Seth is draftable.

4. The game will be played on Hard 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, and opening Doors or Chests.

3. Skirmishes/use of the Tower or Ruins is disallowed. Skirmishes that are blocking your path may be activated and immediately fled from.

4. Visiting the arena is strictly prohibited. You can stand or lollygag all over the arena all you want, but under no circumstances are you to enter the arena.

5. All drafted units must be recruited.

6. BBM gets firstpick.

Penalties:

1. Undrafted units have a 4 turn penalty, per unit per chapter.

Exceptions:

1. Vanessa may be used to Rescue Ross in Chapter 2 even if she is undrafted.

2. Ewan and Amelia may be leveled to 10/1 in the Tower Of Valni, however their trainee levels do not count towards your EXP total (regardless of whether you leveled them up in tower or not).

(This next paragraph was written by Refa for the first FE8 EXP draft, so I will be stealing it and making slight changes so it'll be relevant to this draft)

(this next paragraph was written by Elieson for a similar draft for FE7, so I will be stealing it and making slight changes so it'll be relevant to FE8)

Now, how do you figure out your grade at the end of this draft, you ask? Well, I'll tell you!

The object is to gain as many levels as possible. I.e., Eirika starts at Lv. 1. You level her up to Lv. 20, then promote her, and level her up to Lv. 20. From Lv. 1 - 20 is +19 levels, then Lv 20/1 - 20/20 is another 19, so Eirika can contribute up to 38 levels towards your final number. All your units combined gained levels may be represented at "TL".

Seth joins at XX/1, so if you raise him to XX/15, he will contribute 14 levels to your total score. Units promoted at an earlier level, such as Marisa promoting at Lv. 10, then going to 20 will provide you with 24 levels to your total (Base Lv. 5 - Lv. 10 = 5 levels, then 10/1 - 10/20 = 19 levels. 4+19=24)And how about your turn count?

You could just take forever and fart your way through the game. Well, you have a timer. Complete the game in 175 turns, and you can rest easy. For every 5 turns over the alloted 175, you take a ((TC - 160)/5) approach to add to your total levels gained. For every 5 turns under 175, you receive a bonus +1 to your score, and -1 for evey 5 turns over 175. Represent your turn count as "TC".

So the formula for coming up with your score is: TL - ((TC - 175)/5) = Total Score

[spoiler=Example of scoring]

Are you a bit confused. That's ok. I've provided an example, so you can see how it works.

So, if you gained 150 levels and finish on 150 turns, then;150 - ((150 - 175)/5) = 150 - (-25/5) = 150 - (-5) = 150 + (5) = 155.

See how it works? Good.

1. BigBangMeteor- Seth, Artur, Gerik, Kyle, Natasha, Innes, Syrene

2. Serious Bananas- Franz, Tana, Saleh, Joshua, Duessel, Ewan, Marisa

3. Cam- Vanessa, Garcia, Neimi, Forde, Amelia, Moulder, Knoll

4. Shinori- Gilliam, Lute, Cormag, Colm, Dozla, L'Arachel, Rennac

[CT075]

[Ciarre]

i don't

[BBM]

comeooooooooooooon

or this draft is declared bull and seth is declared best EXP draft firstpick

[Ciarre]

let someone else take my spot

[MacLovin]

In.

If Harpoon can do an Exp draft with Seth and get a good score, then Seth is good for exp drafts.

[Baldrick]

But you'd have the non-Seth team.

Not a signup, even though there's no room anyway.

[BBM]

No offence Sharpy, but as I actually AM trying to prove a point here, I'd really like it if everybody finished, and you have a reputation of not finishing drafts. If CR really doesn't want to do it (you're a bad person CR), I'd prefer someone else does it.

[Shinori]

I will join this. If there is a spot still needed anyway.

[BBM]

Okay, so I got firstpick, and then the order among everybody else was randomized. The order was:

1. BBM

2. SB

3. Cam

4. Shinori

I pick Ewan Seth.

[charlie_]

Franz is probably better at getting exp, and I've never had him before, so I'll take him.

[CT075]

Are you trying to be an ass on purpose, Rein? I left to eat, and then there was an internet failure in my area for the last three hours. I get that you don't approve of the ruleset- but it is what it is, and anyone who signed up for the draft knew that it would be unfair in that sense.

I pick Artur and Gerik.

[Shinori]

Now we wait for SB and Cam.

[CT075]

oh fuck i have SB's picks

SB takes Saleh

I want neimi

[Shinori]

oh fuck i have SB's picks

SB takes Saleh

I want neimi

FUCK YOU CAM DON'T DO THAT. DONT YOU TAKE MY FAVORITE CHARACTER T_T

[Elieson]

I love that my math and explanation with the word fart is still being used :3

good luck drafters! Enjoy those potential 19 points that Seth can provide for you ~

[riariadne]

Are you trying to be an ass on purpose, Rein?

sort of. don't take me so seriously :p
