Darros Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Yo, I remember like it was yesterday when this forum had absolute surges of activity all the time. Drafts would be just filled constantly and it'd be all we ever talked about, but it feels like it's just absolutely been a nonfactor lately. Is the interest just gone or did people's backlogs catch up to them? I guess I'm just asking, why has everyone stopped with drafting?

Quintessence Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 (edited) I don't know. In my case, semestre and MK8. edit: but I'm going to finish them Edited August 25, 2014 by Quintessence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Marth Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 (edited) What kills drafting for me is that I'll enter a draft and start doing the draft for the first couple of chapters and then realize that nobody else is participating. It kind of kills the competitive factor of a draft and I lose interest in it very quickly. I can't remember the last time I was in a draft that everyone was actually participating in at the same time with a decent pace. The reason behind this is most likely that everyone has so much experience in the games that you can predict who is going to win just based off of what units they have, which also ruins part of the competition. But that's just the nature of drafting. Edited August 25, 2014 by Oakland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT075 Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 I'm slowly being crushed under the weight of my backlog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Horace Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 I honestly stopped caring about winning a long time ago, and just tried to draft girl around teams. But yeah they were just played so much interest died I guess. I still find them fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elieson Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 I just got tired of being crushed by Horace (except that one time) and never getting the opportunity to draft a flier in GBA!FE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shin Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Drafting loses its edge when Horace isn't around to try and beat. I think I still hold the best victory record, 2 wins and 2 draws too pro... the six or seven losses don't count! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwordofAeons Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 I'm still following the forum, but lately XCOM: Long War and a shiny new copy of Awakening have been devouring my free time. I've got a couple of ideas I'd like to try hosting at some point, and could probably be strongarmed into participating in one sooner. It's not like there's been new hosts who failed to find enough players; I'm not too concerned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metalsnowman3 Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Oh this is in the fire emblem draft section derp. Anyways depending on what game you do I might join if its relatively casual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psych Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 I like the drafting more than the actual playing for low turn count so I usually can't be bothered to finish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that's just the nature of drafting. I know I have that FE6 draft to finish still. Originally, I had time back in mid-june to start it. It goes like 2 weeks without interest before the drafting finally starts, but that was during a time when I was already busy. Since then it has only gotten worse with school starting up, working two jobs, and learning a ton of new stuff for one of the jobs. But yeah, I blame real life inconveniences.

Jedi Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Job Corps and various other things kinda murdered my chance to sit down and draft when I have other things to play as well as loads of friends here who want to play various things.

Junkhead Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Drafting was so fun, lol. I'm getting back to it. THanks for the heads up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MancerNecro Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Hey, I don't mind drafting for FE7 and FE8 if anyone is going to start a draft. I don't mind helping to revive the drafting board and getting players back to drafting again. I stilll have two drafts to complete but I don't think they will take too long. Drafters in my second draft have also lost interest in it so far so I'm not sure if I will even complete it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
