Letsbeef Crew Draft 2019 - Preliminary Thoughts

Whether it would be to accept a crew invite or at the very least be privy to what's going on, they'd need to be active. Of course, an admin/mod could alleviate this problem by forcefully placing draft picks in their perspective crews, but that could create a problem if people who haven't logged on or don't know what's going on end up logging in to find they're gone from their old crew and into a new one all of a sudden.

A more realistic system would be 6 crews, 4 members each probably. That way, draft picks mean a lot more because you're going to be much more particular about who you'd want in your crew. Also, 24 draft picks is much closer to reality, as we're sitting on about 30-35 active members.

The second is, this being such a good/great idea and with it being such a big undertaking, I believe EtH should be made mod. For obvious reasons, he would need the clearance and power to facilitate this kind of event. Although he can be a dick at times, and two-faced as hell, I've always known him to be a straight shooter and fair.

As far as a draft system, we could incorporate a points system. Each leader gets a total of 1000 points, and each member in the draft is given a value number based on records and titles.

Let's say Row is a leader, and each leader is given 1000 points.

RULE/Revan - SUPERMAX DEAL (1,000) - this would be someone's obvious pick, but they'd have to keep in mind that this draft is implemented so that BATTLES and BEEFS can take place. With rewards being included, always losing because of lack of active members could hurt your crew.
Rican - 650
Shodan - 600
Edgeworth - 420
Rieper - 400
Brayne D. - 300
Macc - 300
Hopps - 280
Saiyan - 280
KG - 260
Student - 200
Mizz Ammo - 140
2 Gucci - 100
Bnas - 5

(this doesn't reflect how I feel about each's skill level, just saiyan for context)

Each leader would have to carefully pick their members because, like pro sports, they are dealing with a cap system

For the draft it wouldn't be 60 members. A draft of 4 each or something would be how it goes down. But I think having a larger overall limit to members means we have an incentive to pick up and potentially teach new members to increase our chances in Illmania.

There is absolutely zero clearance I'd need for this. Everything is easily done in the forums.

I'm not sure about the points system as it's subjective. For example, no chance Id personally pick RULE, an inactive no show threat. But if you were a leader its clear youd want him, so all in all I think leaving it open to interpretation is better.

Looking at Apoc, KG and HVK are the only guys that'd be involved anyway. Ginge is active but did say he's done a few daus ago.
