  Yes.However everyone would have to get the some voice comms and I would suggest TS.This way they only have one on their system.

Age = To Age? if so, long time no see, and if people will actually do PVP on this dyna, im there.

(Oh, did I mention I need 2 leaders btw?)

Did you read my post in this mess...

Ready to be a leader with this draft stuff again, as long as the rules clearly spell out (NO TRADING) what can and can't occur in the time between the signup and draft, and what can happen post-draft but pre-signup.

Yep

You'd be one Leader, I need two
I mean I suppose you could run both sides but...
I haven't posted on the actual draft yet as I'm not sure what needs to be done.
Personally I'd like to thrwo everyone's name into the proverbial hat and just randomnly assign people to a side
Then voice coms etc comes into it and of course people would have to trust me..  :P

And I have no problem with VT or TS and can run both simutaniously. Also have RW(outdated now) and BC(probably outdated), as well as Sidewinder.

Yes... and if running both comms is viable I'd do that also.

I think it's a great way to get to know each other.  There are pilots normally flying Coalition I'd love to wing with.

OK here's (kinda) the big one

I'd like to do a blind draft- neither leader actually knowing who they would get until it's done.
Heh, now here's the fun part... does everyone trust me to do this

I personally think that if you do a blind draft, you would need to communicate the exact method of HOW you are going to do your blind draft.   Spell it out VERY specifically, then show the current list of players to be drafted (I'm sure you might have to do this several times as new pilots get interested).   Then and only then, do I think that the majority of pilots will be comfortable with the draft.   I know I can't speak for the majority, but that is my opinion and preference.

Personally I would like a draft system where we all get together and get drunk, then throw darts at Hexx. The part of his body you hit will determine the team you fly for. Him being such a small target should make it quite challenging.

I would like to see the draft idea tried out; I had a blast on The KBF server flying against my buddies as a Hydran; I think mixing everyone up to fight with their regular "enemies" and against their regular "allies" could really make a positive impact on our community.

  :o

I know I said I'd consider all ideas but.. uhmm the travel expenses would simply be too much fpr me to ask
of all of you..otherwise I'm good with Corbo's idea.

Actually my idea of a blind draft would simply be to assign all the signed up players a number and have the two leaders
pick by numbers.
Get Pesty to write one of his super locked with encryption sheet that could be unlocked after the draft was done.
No trades.

 Sign me up. Hopefully I'll get to play more this time than the amount of time I did for GW5.

I'd love to play in a draft server, and Mirror Mirror is a perfect setup to try it out in.  And yes, Hexx, I trust you to be fair in whatever method you use to admin the draft.

<joking>
Certainly there should be no trades, but there are some old card game rules I'd like to see.  In several classic compettive card games, both sides are allowed to pass to their opponent two or three cards that they don't want.  Could we do that?  There are a few pilots I'd like to make sure are in my sites and not on my wings.  They so have it coming.
