I'm not really around at all in the evenings, if we could do this during the day on a work day I can take part though.

OK, start Monday morning?

That works for me!

Like I say, each round can just roll along as people make their suggestions. We could even go earlier and start Thursday if people are ready.

Struggling with the sport/simulation category as I don't really play either genre, thinking of picking a pinball game as it would loosely fit into the sim genre.

Looking forward to seeing this play out! I've started listening to the Back Page podcast which have done a similar draft setup a few times and I think it's a cool setup!

Can we pick anything for Wildcard?

From that year, yep.

You may not get your choice if someone takes it earlier. Be prepared to switch up your selections depending on the draft order.

Is anyone against starting the draft tomorrow morning? It doesn't have to all be complete in a short space of time, people may need to be patient if others aren't around to take their turn.

Fine by me!

Fine

The draft is made and the order is as follows

Qikx
Ironhide
Tomous
Drumstick

We go forwards through this in round 1 and then backwards in round 2. This means Drummy gets two consecutive picks at the end of round 1 and the beginning of round 2 and Qikx will get two picks at the end of round 2 and the beginning of round 3. I'll prompt who's turn it is next. Start your engines and away we go!

I am ready.

Are we starting with the metacritic round?

You can draft any category in any order, it's entirely up to you. If you think the good stuff in that category will go early then go for that one. If there was only one decent sports game in the whole year then take that.

This first one could be a bit of a learning experience but hopefully it'll become more clear as we progress.
