WWE Game XIV: Its Time To "Split": Discussion Thread

[Hammy]

What's wrong with Cowbell's idea? Do the draft now, but without stating which league is which. When the other game finishes (or straight away if D and Gnrfan are drawn together...), the league with the winner in becomes the Raw league.

That works, to be honest I got lost reading his idea and didn't get that out of it

Cheers dude, I'll post the line-ups for the leagues now in the drafting threads.

Its balanced out well, 3 "former" World Champions in each league.

I was dreading a major in-balance.

Alright nightrain, I'll try and roll with an explanation.

The entire WWE Roster is available at the start and people pick in the draft order, i.e. Cowbell gets first pick in his league.  Now the draft is a snake draft (i think thats the name), so it goes up, down and so on to balance the fairness of drafting order (it'll work itself out).  Anyway people will end up with teams of 5 wrestlers.  $120,000 in the bank as well so if they want they can bid on people who weren't picked up, or bid on wrestler who debut during the game.  Minimum bid is $20,000 and to win the bid you have to go 48 hours without anyone outbidding you.

As for the points scoring, wrestlers get points for matches, wins, title defences and other such things, the rules in full are at the top of each drafting thread, they look like so...

*If the person retains normally for 20 points they don't get these 5 as well as

A person get's injured, fired, released, quits, dies, flys away to Japan, Bolivia, D's House, it will cost you a trade to ditch them and in all cases, aside from death they will return to the draft list.

No more than 6 Trades all game ($120,000)

DRAFTING PROCESS FOR DEBUTANTS AND THOSE ON THE DRAFT LIST

Everyone has to be bid for and to win that bid, 48 hours has to pass by without anyone outbidding you, minimum bids for all is $20,000.

The most you can bid assuming you haven't used any trades is $120,000.  When you bid for someone you state who you will drop if you win the wrestler, then when the 48 hours have passed the switch happens automatically.

If one person bids all their $120,000 and someone wants to outbid them they have to use points as well (This only happens when the $120,000 is involved). 

If someone bids you cannot bid the same you have to bid an increased amount of at last an extra $1,000 unless they have bid $120,000 in which case you bid that and points to.

Anyone who debuts during the drafting process will just be added to the list, timing's a **** 

Swaps are illegal.

You cannot drop you No.1 or 2 Draft picks, unless, they are injured, fired, suspended, or vanish off tv for 3 weeks or more.

We don't do Beer Drinking Contests, Boxing Matches, Masterlock Challenges, MMA Matches, Diva Dodgeball or any other non wrestling events/contests, we do WRESTLING matches.

You can draft as many new guys as you can afford.

You bid for someone, you can't withdraw the bid.

"If" by some miracle the game ends in a tie, we'll have a week of overtime, covering RAW/Smackdown/ECW/Superstars/Impact/And if there is one that week even a PPV, and whoever is ahead at the end of the week wins, if it's still a draw we have another week of Sudden Death overtime 'til a week eventually ends with someone ahead.

Game runs from January 1st to Wrestlemania.
