I also like how I asked if something was allowed, as if I wasn't the one making up the rules as we go along here. OF COURSE YOU CAN DRAFT HIM TO BE MURDERED! WHY NOT?

RIP KENNEY

Once we know who is dying, I'll be more than happy to write up their deaths. I have a few ideas as already for the off-season mishaps that will strike these poor schlubs down.

That goes for anything really. If you want to add stories pm them to me and I'll figure out how to add them. I know you can. It can be a random, ducklow just bought a squirrel statue to put in his locker or something. As long as they arent super awful I'll put them in

@Reel you better get in here, the WBL owners already killed one brotha and there is another on the chopping block (literally). Make a case for the salvation of DAVE KRAMER.

Relativity, my brother. The draft is being held in the December 2050, sending information through the wormhole to an alternate universe means time moves differently. That's the only reason the WBL works. How do you think these teams fly from Kabul to Buenos Aires and then to Moscow while playing 7 games a week?

Sorry @Rutgers Mike you've been skipped because you took too long and the fact that your tribute has already been killed before you even picked. You get to pick/murder after AMD

@Orlando you are up. 5 minutes on the clock.

Alright, I'm headed out to a wedding. So just finish the draft whenever you get a chance. I know @OU11 can barely contain his excitement to see who ends up in his clutches, so someone else can tell @doh to hurry up.

THANK YOU Dermott McHeshi
Scott is from Ontario? I was just there last week. That place blows.

That concludes the first annual hunger games draft. I hope you all enjoyed, I'm going to set a shortlist on the surviving members of this year's draft and give you a report at the all star break. At that point there will be some more shenanigans and we'll determine the winner of the donation award.

BUMPITY BUMP LIKE A TRAIN BABBY.

So we have made it to the all star break and it is time to determine who gets the highly coveted 2051 rigger 1st round draft pick! The pick is given as compensation to the player who gave away the "best" player. Obviously "best" is subjective, so I'm taking 3 things into account:

1. What has the player's performance been like? This is really the one objective measure I'm using and will therefore be the most heavily weighted.

2. Where was the player drafted? This indicates how desirable they were at the time of the HG draft. This also helps evaluate the prospects who either aren't ready for the WBL or were injured when picked, but were still highly desirable.

3. The relative disparity between what was given and what was received. If you gave up a great player and got a shithead, I think that makes you more deserving of receiving the comp pick, so this will be considered if players are close.

4. Discussion/campaigning/stumping. Make a case for why your tribute was the best. The stats only tell part of the story, so I want to hear from all of you1 What do you think of the tribute you gave up? How has the tribute you received performed?

Take a look at this summary table, but also feel free to click through the player links in the quoted post to examine the stats more thoroughly! Lets dial the immersion back up today and have a great discussion.

Here is my review of my tributes given/received.

Dave Kramer - I learned a lot about the desirability of certain positions during this draft. Going in, I thought Kramer would be a great tribute but he ended up being the 3rd best looking DH in a league where not many teams have openings at the DH position. In the end, @Orlando took pity on him and decided not to murder him, but to give him spot duty as a sub for his already great DH Henny 'Alchemist' Cotterell. Orlando has been rewarded by the OOTP gods for his bravery, because Kramer has put up respectable numbers in spot duty, while Cotterell is having his best season in years, thanks to his occasional rest breaks. I definitely do not deserve the #1 pick for this tribute, but I am pleased that he's had a minor contribution, given the fact that so many of the hunger games picks have been negatives for their teams. Next year I plan to take position into more heavy consideration when selecting a tribute.

Mike Ducklow - When I saw him I thought @bruin228 and @bruin had a good chance of winning if Ducklow went to the right team. He has played really well for me as DH. His batting average isn't very good, but he's playing in the rigger ballpark and he's getting on base a ton, given the low average. He's also hitting with great power, and is leading the riggers in HRs. His 0.9 WAR is by far the highest of any of the hunger games field players. I'd make the case that his status as a regular starter in the WBL with good performances makes him the #1 best hunger hunger games performer so far.

Vader's #1 selection status is a powerful argument, especially since his IR status is probably better performance than most of the other pitchers who were selected high :laughing:

I do wonder what would have happened if Dublin had selected Stawell instead and he joined the BABIP cheat lineup...

Herrera was crushing it in AAA, it's not my fault OU doesn't know how to utilize players within his org. He would have the Waffles closing in on a Shampship.
