HDC Horror Movie Draft Discussion & Sign Up Thread
 
HDC HORROR MOVIE DRAFT

Rules For Sign-Ups


- If you wish to participate in the horror draft please reply in this thread notifying that you wish to be on the draft.

- Once 8 or more members have signed up for the draft they will be placed in the other they will make their draft picks in.

Rules For Drafting

- Starting with #1 each player will choose a film when it is their turn in this format:

Movie Title (Year) Director

- Once the last player has selected their movie it will end the round and that same player will select again for the next round and the drafting order will go in reverse from the previous round. For example, the player who chooses first in round 1 will choose last in round 2 but then choose first in round 3.

- Each player will be given 12 hours to make their choice once it is their turn. If you miss your turn you will be skipped. If you miss 3 turns you will be removed from the game.

- If you think it might become your turn when you are unable to login and make your pick for a round you may PM your pick to someone on the forum to post your pick on your behalf.

- If you are the last to choose in a round you will still be given 12 hours for each round. If you miss the first round you will then be given the 12 hours for the next round but may only choose for the current round.

- For anyone who misses round you may make up the rounds you missed after round 10 of drafting in the order in which you missed.

Voting Rules

- Once drafting is complete all players will be broken into matches of 2 where the members of the forum will vote on the films on a scale of 1-5 or by leaving a n/a if you have not seen a film.

- Each film that is drafted will have a link (if applicable) in a separate thread for your convenience so you may catch up and vote more accurately.

- If the match is yours do not vote in it.

May I join?

Morningriser 11-10-2015 02:12 PM

yeah, anyone can join

DeadbeatAtDawn 11-10-2015 02:33 PM

I just want to say one thing..I never pick popular mainstream movies. I never win these. I don't care about winning. : ) I pick films as recs. Maybe one or two of my opponents will see something different or be interested in my choices...that's what I like. If I can introduce you to something new, I win. I don't care if I have all H/S. It's fine. I love the drafting process and I love seeing themes someone may choose and getting to know what films everyone adores. It may sound stupid but this is what I do. : )

Morningriser 11-10-2015 02:47 PM

same thing with me. A lot of my picks people hadn't seen either. This time as someone picks a film I will look for it online and see if I can find a place they can watch it legally and then link it to a thread here on the forum.

Morningriser 11-10-2015 02:48 PM

Come on guys, we need 4 more to get it started.

Sculpt 11-10-2015 03:30 PM

I'll play.

Say, why do we need to list the director? I would think name & year is suffice to avoid confusing 2 films. You know... that you're aware of, in the history of horror films, has there ever been 2 films with the exact same name, to be released the same year?

As host, what's your opinion on how to rate a film if someone saw part of a film?

I think there may have been 3 or 4 movies I hadn't seen from the last draft. And that's including all of the lists. I'm old, I've watched horror since I was 5, and when I haven't seen one,my curiosity won't allow it to go unwatched for long. I say, BRING THAT SHIT!!!

I guess it isn't necessary but it just helps with better referencing the films. I would prefer to keep it as it is because there are sometimes multiple films with the same name and for some people listing the year alone could confuse them.

Morningriser 11-10-2015 03:48 PM

we still need 3 people so come on guys sign up!

DeadbeatAtDawn 11-10-2015 08:23 PM

The director is a big part of the film. If there is a film I'm interested in, I wanna get to know the director, look up his filmography.

roshiq 11-10-2015 09:03 PM

Love this drafting thing. I'm in. ::cool::

hammerfan 11-11-2015 01:40 AM

OK, I'll give it a shot

Morningriser 11-11-2015 02:31 AM

awesome guys! ok we need 1 more

Repo'd 11-11-2015 02:33 AM

YES!!! One more to go! One more to go! USA! USA!!

^?? ::confused::

hammerfan 11-11-2015 02:34 AM

Can I also state that there will be NO arguing/fighting in this thread. If you need to argue, take it to the private message tool. Any argument/fight posts will be deleted.

^^ The force is strong with this one.


I second the civility!

Morningriser 11-11-2015 02:45 AM

I third this notion. Last game fell apart due to people leaving the forum or other nonsense so lets have a good clean game.

Now lets get 1 more and LETS GET IT ON!

Roiffalo 11-11-2015 03:19 AM

Can I call backsies? ::big grin:: ::embarrassment::

I'd like to try again if you'll have me. Back on the horse right?

Morningriser 11-11-2015 07:41 AM

Of course Roi, you know you can play!

I will set everything up and we can start drafting later.

Morningriser 11-11-2015 08:24 AM

Ok everything is set! We will begin today at 4om EST with Repo'd going first.

Repo'd 11-11-2015 09:21 AM

Sweet! I'm off this afternoon so I'll be posting my pick promptly at 4.

I am, however, still holding out hope that we'll get two more signups and we'll be ten!

No matter the numbers, good luck to all!

Morningriser 11-11-2015 10:24 AM

I think horcrux blocked me but I have tried reaching out to him a few times to let him know it was all just frustration and misunderstandings before and I would love for him to join in. And yeah drafts with a lot of people are awesome. Too bad we couldn't get 16 players.

I haven't even seen him on since the spat. Last post I read that he made though said he was going to block you, buddy. If he wants to act his age don't waste your time on him.

hammerfan 11-11-2015 11:41 AM

He's been on today.

Morningriser 11-11-2015 12:08 PM

Nice choice Repo!

Sculpt it is your turn.

::big grin:: Yeah, to the surprise of no one.

Roiffalo 11-11-2015 12:11 PM

Toooooootally didn't see that pick coming, Repo. ::big grin:: *respects*

Roi, hope you don't mind, I edited the rest of your post. Getting rid of anything that doesn't have to do with the game. Hammerfan

Not at all, hun. Roi

I swear to God, I thought about taking something else for like a half a second.::big grin:: But then...::love::

Repo'd 11-11-2015 12:16 PM

I think Hammer asked that any feuding be done in PM, guys. Show the lady the respect she is due.

Peace.

FYI, all of the bullshit posts are going to be deleted right now.

And, all of the posts that don't have anything to do with the game have been deleted. I won't give warning next time. Next time I'm just deleting them.

No worries. I like being a moderator ::devil::

Repo'd 11-11-2015 12:29 PM

Alright, thanks hammer! Looks better in here already.

My prediction for Sculpts first pick is… Babe, Pig in the City. It's a little bit of a long shot, but that dog in the wheelchair…damn it scares me just thinking about it.
