Oooh. This is getting tense. I have my sights firmly set on one female talent, but both spongey and gimmick are ahead of me and they both have to pick their lassies. I have a funny feeling I'm going to be glued to boards tomorrow at work.

I know what you mean, I have my sights firmly set on one Miz but I have a feeling somebody might pick him ahead of me out of spite. Tense

RebelRockChick

Made my final pick

Gimmick is up next

Tricity Bendix

Drat. I'm heading out tonight so I'll have to wait until tomorrow to find out whether or not gimmick has stolen my chosen femme.

Yay, I'm back..

gimmick

Thing was, I was trying to do my pick from about 4.10, but my bastard computer at work went on a major go slow, and it took me the bones of an hour to submit my pick.

Tricity Bendix

Well, I've made my pick... and its for your own good.

Mr.Nice Guy

Nice pick at this late stage, callaway. Next up is orestes.

orestes

My last pick is up, sorry there's no vids and stuff

i got banned from the board for 5 days andi didnt even miss my go.


This game is going oh so very slow

Mr.Nice Guy

It has been a slow one alright which doesn't bode well for the weekend but hopefully Furious-Red will be about soon.

Bounty Hunter

atleast this is the last round where there will be an order then everyone will have a week (or whatever timeframe is decided) to post their summary of their roster & PPV card/build type thing. 90% of that can be written now tbh and half of the drafters are already finished making their picks so could possibly have theirs ready to post when this round ends. i.e the delays should be almost over and nobody can really complain about the next round of non drafts as they have loads of preperation/posting time not 24hours to pick and post.

If anyone still needs a female roster member, seing as its the last round and you will only get 1 so no feud is possible id like to suggest someone pick


an she is eligable because:
In mid-2002, García briefly "feuded" with rival announcer Howard Finkel after Finkel left her to be decimated by Three Minute Warning,
culminating in an "evening gown versus tuxedo match" that Garcia won with the assistance of Stacy Keibler and Trish Stratus

Bounty Hunter

Ive again pm'd my pick to MNG as im going out soon and dont want t, so if Furious red is or isnt on its my go in atleast 2hrs and hopefully once MNG hasnt also gone out my pic will be posted. Coincidentally MNG is then next so micheal etc it might be worth checking if your able to post tonight.o hold things up

Furious-Red

just made my pick there. sorry for taking so long.

Bounty Hunter

ignore the PM again then MNG as ive 30mins before i go out.... ill post now

edit: done final pick and my roster is made

Mr.Nice Guy

My last pick made (sniff). Over to michael.

michael.etc...

Good pick MNG. Suits your roster. Mine's up too.

Since i'm done, i thought i'd suggest someone i was going to pick (but he didn't fit in well in the end, i went for more fliers on the undercard), to anyone who may have use for him..
Masato Tanaka...?

Mr.Nice Guy

KKV's two hours away from missing his pick.

Lets hope he gets on . Now to go read MNG post in the HHH /Cena Thread. Im sure its incredibly positive towards hunter

Wow.. didnt even realise it was my go


Picked.. Daivari..


What exactly are we doing next?

I assumed its just write up a card for an event, and give a brief outline why you chose those matches?

We're going to outline our plans for our rosters, the feuds we'll have, who we'll have as our champions, who we'll push strongly etc. We'll use cards to showcase our main feuds. You can read about it in my sig. I'll explain it in more detail once the round is over.

You don't have a sig


And ok. ill just wait until the round is over and then watch my roster fall apart.

No...

That's really weird because it shows up for me...

I wonder is that the same for everyone? You can find the bit on my sig from page 60 of this thread:

http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=56550820&postcount=897

I'll expand on it at the end of the round so everyone will hopefully know what's going to happen. :cool:

Some computers have sigs automatically turned off from the beginning, same as avatars. You can turn them on in your profile on boards

Minto

I bet KKV has sigs turned off! Go to your user CP and its somewhere in there dude!

Poor Bubs.....I'm gonna make my pick now


EDIT:Just Made My Pick

Bounty Hunter

poor bubs indeed he's had his fingers crossed for days for that one.

Minto

Come on Bubs, get over the miz and make your damn pick!

Mr.Nice Guy

Ouch that's a heartbreaker for Bubs! :eek:

Bubs101

Dave that's just ridiculous. I was going to have him win my money in the bank and cash it in on the same night, now I have to re-think absolutely everything. Not cool.

Minto

Just made my pick! Now to come up with something for them!

ec18

how can you pick both of them? Do they count as a tag team?

Bounty Hunter

I wouldent have thought they counted as a tag team but meh

Minto

They have tagged together, people expect to see them together. Doesn't that satisfy the two criteria we've had in the past?

michael.etc...

^^^

I see your point, but it's quite the stretch. There's no way they can be considered a tag team. That's like considering Val Venis and Trish a tag team, because they were in a couple mixed tags while she was his valet.

Dan Severn was a good pick bubs.

Bounty Hunter

only 1 more pick to go!

suppose for anyone who is unsure now might be a good time to decide exactley what the next round entails for the people who arent sure (ive most of mine written up when i was previously waiting to make a pick) so that people can then start describing their roster/card/whatever then when the final pick is made

gimmick

I say do it in a new thread, as this one has become a tad too big. Got mine pretty much written up. Just need to bulk it out a tad.

Anyway, with the roster I have, how can I fail???;)

Bounty Hunter

id say do the Roster descriptions etc in the other thread and leave this one for discussion, look at the soccer forum there is a 2000 post thread on Gareth Barry's possible move to Liverpool... this thread isnt too big

Mr.Nice Guy

OK I just made dez's pick for him. I wasn't sure if Corino counted but I see he was on WWE's books briefly a year ago and wrestled a few times for them.

Minto's pick did seem a bit dubious to me but I'd be willing to allow it as it technically counts under our criteria.

I've PM'd Fozzy to ask him to change the name of the picks thread to one for our rosters. That way we can stick our rosters in there and leave this thread for discussion.

I'd be in favour of a 5 day limit initially which could rise to 7 days if necessary.

People could feel free to post their rosters tonight if they are ready as soon as the other thread is altered.

I'll maybe post the rules we discussed a few rounds back in the other thread to make it easy for people to follow. Hopefully it will run smooth anyway. (Fingers crossed)

How is voting going to work?

After we reach the deadline and hopefully have everyone's rosters, people can PM me their top 5 rosters (not their own one!) and I'll tally them up and announce them as soon as I have them all.

I was thinking it would work like this:

Number one = 10 points
Number two = 7 points
Number three = 5 points
Number four = 3 points
Number five = 1 point

I'd then publish the winner and afterwards which way everyone voted.

Vince135792003

Cool, that works.

Bounty Hunter

that sounds good to me I was worried when it was only 3 votes as it could be very hard to pick between some rosters and i didnt really want to see some end up with 0 for example when maybe they would have been most peoples 4th choice.

think im almost ready to post mine too, bit wary of being first though

Bubs101

I'll probably work mine out tommorow or the day afterwards. Not having the Miz or Elizabeth has put me in a dodgy dodgy spot.

Just one question MNG, can we mention other talent as long as they never actually feature in our programme?

Mr.Nice Guy

I would say no. The aim is to see what you can make out of your own group of wrestlers rather than bringing up other talent.

I think I'll try and post my roster ideas tonight. It might make it easier for everyone else to see how it will work.

I've posted the rules on the other thread so everyone can reference what we need to do.

As I said before, when querying a particular roster everyone please do so once so that we don't see things spiral into arguments. We'll see if we can keep it civil enough.
