Thread: Cigar Draft V

  1. #1

    Default Cigar Draft V

    The Godfathers of Cigar Drafts ricmac25 & gatorsmg at Cigar Snobs came up with this idea and I want to run with it here.

    This is a pass of sorts but done in a fantasy football draft style.

    # of participants
    You just need to be a CigarSmokers member in good standing. I will allow as many people who what to play join!

    # of sticks to play
    5 sticks. Lets make this one $2 and up sticks. If you have any question about a stick post it and if no one says anything with in two days then it's good to go.

    How it will work
    Everyone playing will submit 5 sticks to the draft. These sticks should be posted in the draft thread that will be started (Please wait two days before sending sticks for review. If no one says anything then mail away.). All sticks will be mailed to me along with $4.60 ,cash is fine, (?$ for our Canada BOTL's. Books are heavy. I would need to look into this.) to help with my shipping costs back to each participant. Once all sticks have been received I will post a list of all cigars in the draft. We will make our selections just as in a fantasy football draft ie: if there are five players each player chooses any one stick per turn in this order 1,2,3,4,5,5,4,3,2,1 etc. I will put all of the participants names in a hat and draw them one at a time, the 1st drawn being first to pick in the draft and so on. After each selection is made it will be posted in the thread and the next person will make their selection. We will set some sort of time limit on this so it doesn't take forever to complete our draft. Once everyone has selected their 5 sticks and the draft is completed I will mail each player their selections.

    So it's basically a pass but instead of taking your turn and then seeing something you would have liked to try pop up later when it's too late you get to see ALL of the possibilities up front. Of course the hard part is deciding which sticks are a "priority for you".


    Time Table
    This is open to change as needed.
    All sticks must be received by May 23, 2008.
    The draft will start May 27 at 8:00 am and run until finished. I hope by May 30. Once done I will mail them out hopefully that day if not then the next. If you can not be on-line during the picking time please PM me a list of all the cigars in the order you want to pick. When your turn comes up I will pick the first available cigar from your list for you. This is only if you aren't going to be around the time of the picking.

    Oh, man. The last one was fun. I'd like in if you are not limiting it to first timers. I'll post a list of sticks later.

    This is open to everyone in good standing. I just dropped the price of sticks down to get some of the new guys involved. This is a great way to get involved for the new guys as the risk is nil.

    Chris, you know I'm in. Don't act like you haven't done this before though, you've brought the draft "up here" before you sly dog.

    This is a great opportunity guys. But, make sure you understand etiquette. If you put in a bunch of dog rockets, you only take dog rockets out. I wouldn't feel the need to say anything, but Taz broke the recent streak of no asshats.

    BigMacFU isn't quite right here. As for sticks just put in stuff that you really like others most likely will too. Plus all sticks have to be posted before being sent for 2 days. If something isn't right someone will say something just don't take it as a dig. Remember this is a draft and not a pass. This isn't value for value. If your thinking that your going to put in $50 worth of sticks in and get $50 back you might but you also might get lower of higher depending on how the draft goes. This really isn't about the value of the sticks. It's about doing something with other BOTL's and getting the chance to try something new. Also this is a great way for new guys to get involved.

    PS. Taz just needs to read the rules to see if he can play.

    I've got lots of laundry quarters ready to go, don't you worry. Maybe this time I'll spend the extra money to send all 4.60 in pennies

    Chris is right, I made the statement stronger than it needed to be. The draft is a different animal. But, the spirit of being a BOTL still exists and as he said if anything is wrong we'll let you know.

    Man, I'm all paranoid since the taz move in Roham's Pass; haven't seen anything like that on this board in quite a while. We've had plenty of ass-hats, but no moochers for a long time. Sorry about that Chris.

    I'm a little more comfortable now that Diesel has cleared some things up. The LAST thing I would want to do is for anyone to feel I shortchanged them. I'm new, so I'm a bit cautious. I would like in on this to maybe try some new stuff and possibly establish some more trading cred.

    I will post my puts later on this evening.

    Thanks, DG, for opening this up for some newbies!

    Go to the World Wide Peace Pass to see his posts. Perfect example of what to not do. Then he assured all that he'd fix it if need be. This was around 3 weeks ago - no sign of him since.

    . . . which is a sentiment shared by most folks, whether new to a board or not. Unfortunately, taz doesn't seem to really care one way or the other.
