<p>Oh I was way off Uncrewed lol I was thinking of a couple of vets who actually can still go.</p><p> </p><p>

Sorry mike - in my defence my midcard policy is to go for youth and Dunne has good Star Quality and excellent skills for a 24 yo. I was shocked he hadn't been picked up whilst I slept which is why I took a few minutes to pick because I was checking the spreadsheet to make sure he hadn't been taken.</p>

This draft is implementing a home nation based quota. Too many times we see a number 1 draft pick of a Japanese icon with no pop in America being picked by a performance fed and screwing up the Japanese scene. That can still happen but not to so much effect. For all workers drafted, 80% need to be eligible to work in your home country with restrictions on. <strong>For the first 10 rounds, only workers eligible to work in your home region can be drafted by yourself.</strong> In game after the draft however, restrictions will be turned off to allow for that 20% to move freely as well as anyone else.</p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> I've ran the numbers.

I don't mind, I picked as australia once and said when I joined I would break that rule but could justify every pick, and kinda did. People work here all the time but the mod doesn't always reflect that. With Destiny, it's odd but it doesn't bother me, he will likely pay in popularity in game.

<p>Wait so I'm confused I have a couple questions about the draft.</p><p> </p><p>

1. Do Tag Teams come as a package or singular draft picks?</p><p>

2. If one were to pick Australia would the home nation rule apply or be less harsh, like allowing 40% of the picks be able to not work in the area?</p><p>

3. How do the mystery boxes work, in terms of whats in them?</p><p>

4. Are workers outside of the business available to be drafted?</p><p>

5. How does the 1st rule work?</p><p> </p><p>

These drafts seem really interesting and I might join one in future, If anyone could answer my questions that'd be great.</p>

Rules are there for a reason. But as I did notice and didn't point it out so as not to be that guy, I guess I played myself, as its far too late to make a fuss about now. Clearly the rule isn't very important if no one bothers to point out its being broken. <img alt=":)" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Some of the regions have very few workers active, with Australia and Europe essentially not having their own well-rounded talent pool.</p>

In Destiny's defence - New Day, Slater & Rhyno & the Revival are all picks made in the 1st 10 rnds and whilst the New Day might go 1st round the others are probably normally a bit later. Even Uncrewed who is going all tag team probably wasn't taking those 2 teams too early.

<p>It irked me a bit too. I had Daniel Bryan (as American Dragon) all set as my #1 pick since I was working off an old roster set. Once I made the pick, I re-upped the October data and was surprised to see he wasn’t available in Mexico anymore. Uncrewed took him at #1 overall last draft in Mexico.</p><p> </p><p>

You can even see it in my post of that pick in a “never mind, he’s not available in Mexico” comment before picking dragon lee. Around round 6, I was praying Charlotte, Lesnar and The Rock would make it to round 11 so I could pick them, but waited until round 11.</p><p> </p><p>

That said, to alphas point, it’s not like Destiny chose Okada or someone with huge pop in only 1 region with those spots, so in the end it’s whatever to me.</p>

<p>(Very) quick look at each roster after 16+ rounds</p><p> </p><p>

Destiny: KO + New Day + Revival + Asuka = interesting roster set, will see how it plays in the British scene</p><p>

Alpha: Strong drafting as always. Did me a favor by drafting Dos Caras so he and Caristico aren't submarining my backstage. High potential for global push with high pop guys in various areas</p><p>

Mike: Canadians who can go and hosses galore. Like the mix</p><p>

Southside: Embracing the entertainment side of Lucha Libre. How do the Rock and other outsiders fit with Lucha?</p><p>

Dr_A: Japanese Juniors and other flippy guys. Io Shirai was a beast pick</p><p>

No_legs: AJ, Cena, Orton, and a bunch of indy darlings</p><p>

Tardelli: WWE Network + Jeff Jarrett and a ton of backstage folks. Interesting mix</p><p>

Kijar: Maybe the ring will be a trampoline? Love the flippy guys he's picked</p><p>

Diamond: Embracing the good ole days of TNA</p><p>

Uncrewed: Needs Teddy Long "That's a Tag Team Match player"</p>

<p><strong>@hitman</strong></p><p> </p><p>

Yeah, i had to draft my backstage staff early since i dont have that many good people able working in australia. </p><p> </p><p>

I know that i can draft people which normally cant work in australia but i dont want to. I like the challenge!</p><p> </p><p>

Lets have a quick look so far.</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Owner and Booker:</strong> Jeff Jarrett</p><p>

<strong>Announcer:</strong> Nigel McGuinness </p><p>

<strong>Colour:</strong> Corey Graves</p><p>

<strong>Head Ref: </strong>John Cone</p><p>

<strong>Head RA:</strong> Steve Corino</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Personality: </strong>Steve Austin </p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Male Roster:</strong> CM Punk, Cesaro, Drew Galloway, Roderick Strong, Christopher Daniels, Minoru Suzuki, Michael Elgin</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Female Roster:</strong> Emma, Natti Neidhart, Toni Storm, Jessie McKay, KC Cassidy</p><p>

</p><p><strong>

Broadcaster:</strong> (WWE) DINGO Network</p><p> </p><p>

Now im going to fill up the male and female roster with a bunch of talent, maybe some local guys. So far im happy with my draft, knowing that i wont play a role in the company wars.</p>

<p>I'm off to bed for the night, here is my shortlist:</p><p> </p><p>

1) TM-61 (Nick Miller & Shane Thorne)</p><p>

2) Paul London & Brian Kendrick</p><p>

3) OI4K (Jake Crist & Dave Crist)</p><p>

4) Shawn Michaels (OWNER/BOOKER)</p><p>

5) Tom Phillips</p><p>

6) Chael Sonnen</p><p>

7) Brian Hebner</p><p> </p><p>

If one member of the team is already drafted, don't pick them. Just move down to the next item on the shortlist.</p>

Apologies Uncrewed but Mikey is next up on my list so 1/2 of The Mighty Don't Kneel will be gone before it gets to you - sorry <img alt=":eek:" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/eek.png.0e09df00fa222c85760b9bc1700b5405.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />
