Derek B Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 Most Recent Draft TEW Data (BETA) - http:// http://www.sendspace.com/file/ricbeh TEW Draft Sheets - http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=pp783pHKITw_yQygTyEQhZg&hl=en Sheet 1 - Draft organised by round and promotion Sheet 2 - Available Boxes and Contents of boxes once revealed Sheet 3 - Easy to copy/paste list of draft picks (to be completed) THE RULES 24 promotions, all starting at 70 popularity in home region, 50 popularity in the rest of the promotion's home country. Promotions will also start with 50 prestige and $1,000,000 in the bank. 35 Rounds, serpentine draft. Meaning the last person to pick in the first round will pick first in the second round. The draft will take place in the Default Cornellverse data, with the start date set to January 2009. 1. Use http://www.random.org/sform.html to assign a random order for promotions picking. 2. Once a pick is made, the next person has 2 hours to make his selection. We will use time stamps on the posts. 3. Once the two hour time period elapses, and the next in line does not draft, then whoever is next in line can jump in and select. When you make your selection you are going to be required to copy and paste the draft board in your thread while making your post bold to stand out. 4. If someone is skipped for missing a selection, they can make their selection at anytime. 5. If you have been skipped three times then you will be automatically skipped for any future picks. Furthermore, I will begin looking for a replacement for you if this happens in order to ensure that the game keeps moving forward and the replacement does not lose out on potential picks. 6. If you submit a list to me, ranking wrestlers, and you are not online to make your pick, I will take the first person from that list who has not been selected for your pick (Granted that I am online to do so). Others may be able to fill this role as needed. 7. The first 10 rounds of workers selected will be on a set to written contracts. The remaining picks will be available on non-exclusive PPA contracts, to other promotions to draft. Any promotion choosing to draft a worker to 2 PPA contracts will get that worker on an exclusive PPA deal, assuming that no-one else has drafted them yet. Drafting a worker to 3 PPA contracts with the same promotion will turn the contract into a written contract. If three different promotions select a worker then the worker can no longer be picked by any other promotions. 8. Staff will count as part of your 35 draft picks. You can choose to sign in your first ten and have them exclusively or wait to share them. It is not required to draft staff (ie Referee's, Anoucners, Managers, Road Agents, Colour Commentators, Personalities) but is encouraged to at least get the minimum so the game is playable right away. 9. Mystery Boxes. There will be a total of 250 mystery boxes available to be drafted at any time, each one with a potential prize inside. When you pick these boxes you will immediately find out what is inside and be able to take whatever the appropriate action is in that situation. Examples of the contents of the boxes include. - TV Deal - PPV Deal - Development territory - Extra written contracts - Extra PPA contracts - Popularity Boost (For promotions OR Workers) - Popularity Drop (For promotions) - Skill Increase (for workers) - Gain/Lose Money - Gain/Lose Prestige - Empty Boxes The majority of the boxes contain prizes that will improve your promotion or workers, with some being more common than others. Development territories for example, are very rare while extra PPA contracts are more common. The mystery boxes are a way to make each promotion unique in this draft via a risk/reward strategy. You do not NEED to select any mystery boxes but by not selecting any boxes you may miss out on a wide range of benefits. Similarly, though less likely, not picking boxes may actually result in you being better off as other promotions could get largely negative results. 10. Trades are allowed and actively encouraged. All workers, staff and boxes are available to be traded in any way you see fit. Trades will not be completed unless all players involved have confirmed the trade to me, and if there is any doubt then my word is final. The best method would be via PM although the forum would be fine too. Once a trade is confirmed by both sides then it is final and cannot be undone. 11. In this draft you can pick workers from any area to join your promotion. Worker restrictions will be turned OFF. 12. Default Owners and Head Bookers from each promotion will be assigned by you from the roster of workers you have drafted. 13. Changing a worker's active roles. As we are advancing the game by 1 year with whatever ideas we have, I will be allowing each player the chance to change 1 retired wrestler OR 1 on hiatus wrestler OR 1 left the business wrestler each, back into an active worker. Their stats will not be changed however, only their preferred role and wrestling style. EDIT: This ability can be traded if you wish to do so. Additional Information and Clarification 14. All the contract information is being set to the following guidelines: - Random Expiry date - Alignment set to default, whatever the worker is better at. - Gimmick set to databse default to match alignment. - Gimmick rating of B - Momentum set to random This is pretty much what the default Cornellverse has for all it's workers too, so I can't imagine there will be any problems with that. If anyone wants (for whatever reason) to add Creative Control into any of their contracts, then you can. Though I can't imagine why you'd want to. 15. You can select anyone you have drafted to be your owner/booker when the time comes, but a person can only own one promotion in the game and book one promotion in the game (1 of each). So if you haven't drafted your owner/booker to a written deal then when you draft them to a PPA deal you should probably announce that you are making them your owner/booker in order to avoid them being stolen from under you. First come, first served is the policy here. 16. All title will begin with a default prestige level appropriate to their level. Main event titles will be set to 80 prestige, all midcard titles will be set to 50 prestige and all low level titles will be set to 20 prestige. 17. All events will be set to have a default event importance of "normal". All promotions are entitled to elevate the prestige of any 1 events by two levels (up to Highly Regarded) or any 2 events up by one level (up to Above Average). This can't be traded to other promotions. DRAFT ORDER 13. Dark Cadence (NEPW, USA) 6. Dross (NHPW, Japan) 22. rv1990 (CWA, Canada) 9. Comradebot (EWA V2.0, Europe) 19. Hyde Hill (UWF, UK) 8.

Derek B Posted January 3, 2009 Author Posted January 3, 2009 In order to help get this draft started, drafting can begin immediately. However, to ensure that everyone has fair warning of the draft beginning I will be sending PMs to everyone involved with links to this thread and the spreadsheets. No-one will be skipped until the draft officially begins at 17:00 January 6th (GMT) or 12:00 January 6th (EST). But any picks made before that point are still binding and cannot be changed. Here are the first two rounds of draft picks for those that wish to begin selecting now... 13. Dark Cadence (NEPW, USA) - On the clock until 14:00 EST on January 6th 6.

Dross Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 looks like I get my guy this time! Just to clarify Derek: You can chose as many boxes as you want to? If so, I'll pick all the boxes! *g* Also, does 'at any time' mean that it doesn't have to be your turn?
Derek B Posted January 3, 2009 Author Posted January 3, 2009 looks like I get my guy this time! Just to clarify Derek: You can chose as many boxes as you want to? If so, I'll pick all the boxes! *g* Also, does 'at any time' mean that it doesn't have to be your turn? If you want to pick only boxes, then feel free to do so. I knew someone would want to give that a try, but remember... not everything you will find in boxes will help you. You can only draft when it's your own turn, obviously, but the contents of the boxes can be used at any time if they say you can. You'll see what I mean when you start to see what is in them, which is all I can really say about them just now.
Phantom Stranger Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 Hoo, boy, this should be interesting. Two or three of my preferred options are guaranteed to be gone by the time it gets to me.
Nedew Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 Hoo, boy, this should be interesting. Two or three of my preferred options are guaranteed to be gone by the time it gets to me. Likewise. This should be interesting
Stennick Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 And now with the sixth overall pick the draft war room begins. Much like my St. Louis Rams we need to use this first draft pick to get a franchise player.
Dark Cadence Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 Drafting begins now? NEPW Drafts Tommy Cornell.
Kobe1724 Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 Has anyone with the 1st pick ever NOT taken tommy?

Phantom Stranger Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 Has anyone with the 1st pick ever NOT taken tommy? I wouldn't have, being as I'm working Japan. In Europe, in the USA, there are few guys with the same level of talent and overness.
Dark Cadence Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 Has anyone with the 1st pick ever NOT taken tommy? I had a few others I was looking at, but Tommy had the most upsides.
Derek B Posted January 3, 2009 Author Posted January 3, 2009 Tommy really is one of the most obvious choices, simply through overness in some regions and a combo of overness and skill in others. Even if I were in Japan running a women's promotion, I'd still have picked Tommy first and used him as a bargaining chip to get some extra contracts from someone else. Only now am I realising the level of competition for some of the key workers I want and it's making me a very sad panda indeed.
Stennick Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 I wouldn't have taken Tommy if I had the first pick. I think guys like Gilmore are just as solid to take.
Nedew Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 My choices I'd imagine won't be seen as particularly orthodox, but then again neither is my promotion. You'll see
rv1990 Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 With the 3rd pick the Canadian Wrestling Association select Dan Stone Jr. Dark Cadence (NEPW, USA) - Tommy Cornell Dross (NHPW, Japan) - Yoshimi Mushashibo rv1990 (CWA, Canada) - Dan Stone Jr. Comradebot (EWA V2.0, Europe) On the clock until 14:00 EST on January 6th Hyde Hill (UWF, UK) Stennick (DCW, USA) Mary E Winstead Fan (TWE, USA) Arrows (EW, UK) Nedew (BAP, Japan) Apupunchao (TLF, Mexico) Imarevenant (SouthernCW, USA) GBAsalmon (LSW, USA) sabataged (SuperiorCW, Canada) Derek B (J-Pro, Japan) Azzmartin (GWC, USA) FINisher (WWA, USA) ZMAN (PWR, USA Self (MLC, Canada) Kobe1824 (IPW, USA) Alec Burkhardt (GC, Australia) Phantom Stranger (AK37, Japan) The Shape (un-named promotion, USA) Kainlock (MCLL, Mexico) That 1 Dude (ELL, Mexico) That 1 Dude (ELL, Mexico) Kainlock (MCLL, Mexico) The Shape (un-named promotion, USA) Phantom Stranger (AK37, Japan) Alec Burkhardt (GC, Australia) Kobe1824 (IPW, USA) Self (MLC, Canada) ZMAN (PWR, USA) FINisher (WWA, USA) Azzmartin (GWC, USA) Derek B (J-Pro, Japan) sabataged (SuperiorCW, Canada) GBAsalmon (LSW, USA) Imarevenant (SouthernCW, USA) Apupunchao (TLF, Mexico) Nedew (BAP, Japan) Arrows (EW, UK) Mary E Winstead Fan (TWE, USA) Stennick (DCW, USA) Hyde Hill (UWF, UK) Comradebot (EWA V2.0, Europe) rv1990 (CWA, Canada) Dross (NHPW, Japan) Dark Cadence (NEPW, USA)
Hyde Hill Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 Well Tommy was my number 1 too being UK but in US id maybe gone for McFly as has more overness altough he cant entertain.
Self Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 There were only 3 potential Number 1 Draft Picks in my book, and they're now all taken. I might have gone for someone different, just to be, well, different (can you say 'Black Mark' Calvin Dark?) but I'd just be screwing myself over.
Comradebot Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 Interesting... I'll take... Hell. Well, since Tommy is gone, I'll have to go with the second (maybe third?) most over man in Europe: Louis Figo Manico! Pain From Spain baby!
Stennick Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 I need to come up with a top 25 list for my war room, I think I'll do that now.
Derek B Posted January 4, 2009 Author Posted January 4, 2009 Interesting... I'll take... Hell. Well, since Tommy is gone, I'll have to go with the second (maybe third?) most over man in Europe: Louis Figo Manico! Pain From Spain baby! Just so that we are clear, I assume this means you will be using your one chance to bring someone back from retirement/hiatus/leaving the business on Manico? He begins the 2008 data On Hiatus, so I guess you are wanting him changed back to an active wrestler.
Comradebot Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 Just so that we are clear, I assume this means you will be using your one chance to bring someone back from retirement/hiatus/leaving the business on Manico? He begins the 2008 data On Hiatus, so I guess you are wanting him changed back to an active wrestler. Well... yeah! Besides, he usually comes off of hiatus before 2009 anyways. Think he did in my EWA game, actually. I just remember I'd JUST hit Regional when he did, and it was like a gift from the wrestling gods.
Hyde Hill Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 Grrr hard one as I really wanted tommy and trying to get a trade with Cadence going. But He wants McFly plus Remo/Gilmore dont see that happening so drafting Jef Nova and making him an active wrestler again.
