Premiership unique bidder game (quicker this one)

    Because I'm still bored...

    This game should go much quicker.

    We'll start with just 5 players and if it works well, we can start a new game later with more. First five to reply get to play.

    How it works:

    I am the host, so I don't play. When I announce the start of the round, you PM me with your chosen 11 players (keep a formation in mind). The players that you have chosen and that nobody else has chosen, go into your team. So if you say Ronaldo, there is a fair chance that someone else will pick him too, and neither of you will get him. Once I have received all your PMs, I will post the results of the players you have 'bought'. Then we have another round; you PM me with whatever players you want to fill your remaining spaces. Again, if the player is already picked, you don't get them.

    Importantly, there is a timelimit, so be sharp and don't go offline, or you're out. Also, i'll cut the game after a number of rounds, so if there is two of you left and you both keep picking Ronaldo and refuse to back down, you'll end up with 10 players on your team.

    So, whoever wants to play - say now.

    PM sent. Just to clarify, if more than one person picks say Ronaldo in round one, can he ever be picked again? as in once they're gone they're gone for every future round?


  • Users Awaiting Email Confirmation Posts: 15,001 ✭✭✭✭Pepe LeFrits


    At the mo you can pick a player again but if people keep picking the same player i may add a limit to the number of times you can do it.
