Also, I thought that we could start throwing out a few suggestions for the next draft. My suggestion, since it will be a new year, is to build a team of characters based around a particular time period. So maybe you choose World War II and all of your characters have to have either been created during World War II or they have to have primarily operated during that period of time.

That actually sounds like fun

Glad you like the idea. I was just trying to think of something that could be quick, fun, and have something to do with the new year.

I hope that the rest of your holiday season goes well man.

That's good. We are going to be spending Christmas with my girlfriend's family since my grandfather passed away this year and he was the closest family that I had. It's bittersweet for me because it's hard to get into the holidays without him but her parents have always been so good to me that it makes up for the lack of the rest of my family.

Bumping for ideas!! Troy gave me an idea on facebook but i forget what it was..

How about a team of 7 members on one comic universe who we intend to send to another comic universe? If we want to extend the draft, then we pick 7 members to replace the original 7. So if you picked 7 DC characters to send to Marvel, you would have to pick 7 Marvel characters to send to DC.

I also want to resubmit my idea for picking an era that your characters either have to be from or were created in just so we have some options.

Thanks guys but which idea are you talking about and what was Troy's idea?! :smt017

So 7 DC characters we want in the marvel u, and vice versa.

So not really a team, but a team.

I like it.

I want to do the Seven Switching draft, there is one Marvel Character that I have always wanted to be on a certain team in the DCU so that will be my first pick if I am able to get him.

I suggested to Erik that we do an all Alternates Draft, by that I mean pick a current team like the Justice League and pick alternate versions of the characters on that team to create a new team. Not like the other Alternate draft we did where if you picked Superman you would then pick Hyperion for example, but in this draft if you picked Superman you have to pick someone like Red Son Superman for example.

Ah, so we would open the draft to alternate universes then? That would be a fun draft to do too. :smt026

Can I pick villains? There is a villain I want in the Marvel U.

Yeah thats why I wanted to do that one because we would have to pick characters that we were normally not allowed to pick.

Oh, I forgot to mention that I will be going to California next week on vacation. We haven't been able to have a proper memorial service for my grandfather yet because most of the family lives on the west coast, so this was the best time to get everyone together. If you guys want to start the draft, I will have my mobile so I can participate but I won't be able to post micros.
