Rush Sykes Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 (edited) Myth actually had a decent idea. A CN draft. Ive given a little bit of thought to this and decided lets give it a shot. First thing we will need is to select 8 alliance leaders. If you would like to "coach" a draft alliance, let me know in this thread. I will select 8 "coaches" who will then , in a randomly determined order, draft an emperor for their alliance. Then draft 5 Gov members (positions irrespective, they will not be named, just 5 high gov members).... then they will draft 12 "members" after the gov. The draft will be conducted like a Fantasy Football draft. Last pick of one round is 1st pick of next round. Of course, on the off chance that I cannot get 8 "coaches", feel free to forget that I ever posted this. Players available to be drafted MUST have an existing nation today.

IYIyTh Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 Myth actually had a decent idea. You ruined the thread before you ended the first sentence. Also, I'd be down for drafting an alliance. Besides, of the actives who actually know people on the other side who would participate I'd know a fairly good amount of people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brehon Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 This is just for fun or are we talking about actually revamping alliances here?

Unknown Smurf Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 Put me on the list of those available to be drafted. As for coaches I'd suggest that you choose actual reputable/controversial alliance leaders (Xiph, Os, Crym, Ego, Ardus etc.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prodigal Moon Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 Oh this should be good. Maybe someone can even come up with a scoring system of some kind and allow for a fantasy CN season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzyzewskiville Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 I'd volunteer for this, but I honestly don't know who's still in CN well enough to be able to do this. And I also just don't know enough people in enough alliances around CN. You need people who come from a variety of different alliances so that you get a good sample of people across CN.

rsoxbronco1 Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 If it gets to the point where we're picking nations, anyone who doesn't take oyababy at #1 is objectively wrong and should not be allowed to run an island where he is the sole citizen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamthey Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 We are picking players, irrespective of nation size, nation stats or national ability. You made the thread so you make the rules, but I would say totally precluding grasp of game mechanics, nation stats, and war prowess may be eliminating important factors for a would be dream team. Clearly an important question for any would be coach is to what end would this group be directed? Perhaps I am rounding up the best possible cadre for an all out rogue fest on the neutrals, or maybe I merely want a group of active, competent, friends. Perhaps I misunderstood the premise, but I get the feeling that the above parameter reduces this to really just a popularity contest or a favorite's list. Simply put there is a distinction between who I want in my personal channel, and who I might want in an ideal alliance. Either way though, this should be interesting so kudos for making it and I'll be curious to track the progress. Also I await obligatory paper tiger alliance.

Krzyzewskiville Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 Also I await obligatory paper tiger alliance. There's way more than enough GW3-era Legionnaires out there to fill this 17-slot "alliance" with us. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IYIyTh Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 (edited) Nation stats are not important. For instance, I'm nation sitting a 130k ns nation. Am I effectively a better player because I now have control over a large nation? No. While not necessarily true for the exercise I think it should be implied that any idiot could operate a large nation as effective as oyb or anyone else for that matter provided even the tiniest bit of help and similar online presence. I think it would be interesting to have to select a defined set of Ministries and you would have to justify each pick for each position. Although -- one could easily do a tiered government because there are a few .gov who are relatively small in size and limit it to x amount over x ns, but that's getting way too complicated imo Edited March 22, 2013 by IYIyTh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master Hakai Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 I figured this was more of a political leadership type draft, which has little to do with NS. am i right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unknown Smurf Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 (edited) You should do it as if CN were resetting and people had the option to choose who to start their new alliance with; therefore current stats (NS or otherwise) wouldn't be a factor... just their intangibles. EDIT: Also yeah if you don't get to 8 I'll be a coach. Edited March 22, 2013 by Unknown Smurf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
