THE FORUM DRAFT SERIES!

This will be the thread for the forum draft and uploading of replays...

for information on how the draft works, refer to the draft mode. Discussion of the mode is to be done in that thread.

This thread is only for the drafters and hosts.

Since this is only a beta, the draft report may not be useful later on. Anyway, kirby has kindly provided the draft #2 replay commentries already..

ELEMENT DRAFT PHRASE

Draft order:

1st pick: Kaini

2nd pick: DDRKirby(ISQ)

3rd pick: DevouringOne

4th pick: lesher

5th pick: lesher

6th pick: DevouringOne

7th pick: DDRKirby(ISQ)

8th pick: Kaini

9th pick: DevouringOne

10th pick: lesher

11th pick: Kaini

12th pick: DDRKirby(ISQ)

For your pick, pick a element and it's corresponding tier, for example, fire tier 3. You can pick higher tiers without needing the lower tiers to be drafted first. No repeats. Interest and extra pures must also be drafted if you wish to have either interest/extra pure available for summoning. I will not be adding either into the pool at the end. The tier is important. read the original draft thread for some explaination of the importance of specifying the tier.

3 picks only per player. 12 picks in TOTAL by all 4 players. Each player contributes 3 to make the final 12.

Kaini: 1st, 8th and 11th pick.

DDRKirby(ISQ): 2nd, 7th and 12th pick

lesher: 4th, 5th and 10th pick

DevouringOne: 3rd, 6th, 9th pick

please wait for your turn. ensure that the drafter who is before you has made his choice before you make yours. keep to the order above. to help others, include the pick number when making your choice. therefore, the first post by kaini should be something like

1st pick: fire tier3

second post by kirby would be something like

2nd pick: water tier3

and so on...

First drafter can take some time to think through before starting. Consider what towers have been removed. It may be good draft strategy to start with something like fire/water/earth tier3. Tier3s and tier2s usually make good choices for the first few picks.

Remember, some diplomacy is part of the draft. You could include comments about your choice of element picks to influence other players. Have fun!

First pick: Fire 2

Hehe because I want to name it Electricity Draft. Just kidding....

Fire has got some really nice towers like Flamethrower and Quaker

[dvdlesher]

1st pick is fire2, hmm..... Well, still doesn't mean anything for now...

[DDRKirby(ISQ)]

2nd pick: fire 1

(boring...)

[Kaini]

Fire 1...

But maybe we see Flamie and Quaker two in the game

Maybe pure fire?

[dvdlesher]

Or even maybe some electricity or corrosion perhaps?

[DDRKirby(ISQ)]

Fire 1...

But maybe we see Flamie and Quaker two in the game

Maybe pure fire?

you forget, flame is out!

i could have picked something more interesting but i did my pick this morning before class, I was damn tired...

[dvdlesher]

Where's DevouringOne...?

[holepercent]

Where's DevouringOne...?

Yes.. As a reminder to all drafters, please be committed to checking the draft frequently and not hold up the rest... maybe he needs someone to explain the rules to him..

[dvdlesher]

Huh? Are you sure...?

Well, looking at his profile, he's actually online yesterday (should be)..

But I don't know if he can go online today

[Guest DevouringOne]

I'm here... bet I haven't much time to read what I actually have to do now... but now I'll read and I will do what I must do.

[Guest DevouringOne]

LIGHT 1

P.S. Sry that I've wastes your time but I have to take care of my father he actally is very ill...

And thats the reason why I haven't replaied yet.

[jolin012]

you can say light and a tier. for example "light1" or "light3"

[Guest DevouringOne]

LOL so fast answer. That's unexpected like thunder

[dvdlesher]

Ooh,we got fire+light, that means something like "electricity"

Okay... My turn now...

Pick 4: Water Tier3

Pick 5: Nature Tier3

I hope nobody surprised, my choice is usually unusual

[DDRKirby(ISQ)]

FLNW? haha actually i haven't tried out this build that much in the new beta--nova+windstorm can't solo everything anymore...but hey, maybe electricity and ice can =P
