Sign-ups!

Group leaders have been selected and we're ready to go. If you would like to participate in this upcoming draft debate, sign up in the comments!

There are two ways to participate - as a DRAFTER, or an OBSERVER. If you are a DRAFTER, you will be assigned to one of the drafting groups and will work with that group to try and achieve victory. If you are an OBSERVER, you won't be able to provide input, but you will instead see all the picks as they are made, with my commentary, and be able to discuss the picks with other observers and myself.

Late sign-ups will be allowed; if you come in partway through, no problem, I can assign you to a group midstream, but this is the place to ensure you're there from the start.

Post in the comments below to sign up and indicate whether you want to be a DRAFTER or an OBSERVER. Also put your username in the post. I know that it shows your username anyway above your comment, but the site erases posts that contain exactly the same text, so we just want to make sure that no one gets lost in the shuffle.

Good hunting!

This article is a follow-up to Next Daily Draft Debate - New Format! The next article in this series is 3DM Draft Debate - Get your Group Here!

This is a post to just keep track of this topic.
Lets go people we need people to fill out our teams!

Dallie says... #2

I would appreciate an Observer spot.

June 19, 2013 2:29 a.m.

DeckBuilder345 says... #3

@ Dallie you don't want to throw you 2 cents into the discussion and try to secure victory? Can get a lot of good insight by arguing with people about possible picks. up to you but figured i would at least encourage people to take the plunge.

June 19, 2013 2:31 a.m.

Supersun says... #4

Can I get a Drafter slot?

(Also a reminder, if you make a post that is exactly the same as someone else previously you will overwrite the previous post so if you try to get into a group, but your post isn't unique enough it may be lost by someone else making the same post as you did)

June 19, 2013 2:34 a.m.

KrazyCaley says... #5

Good reminder, Supersun. Added to the original post a little note that should help avoid that problem.

June 19, 2013 2:39 a.m.

Goody says... #6

Tl;dr, don't just post "drafter" or "observer".

Also, just letting everyone know, my team will win, and the other teams are garbage. If you give me some cards, I'll let you in my team

KrazyCaley says... #7

Bribery is not allowed, except on me. It will be ignored, but it IS allowed.

June 19, 2013 2:43 a.m.

Dallie says... #8

@DeckBuilder345: I am currently not a very good drafter, and have wished for a while to get better. I think being part of the observer group would help me improve my drafting abilities. I do think it would be fun to snatch a victory, but I'm even more of a "let's see how everyone does"-kind of guy. So Observing would be nice for me :)

I thought you'd be a fan of Bribery , KrazyCaley, it's blue!

June 19, 2013 2:46 a.m.

KrazyCaley says... #11

@Goody And it's allowed on me because MY DECKS DON'T HAVE CREATURES, HAHAHAHAHA

June 19, 2013 2:56 a.m.

Sign me up! I'll be a drafting team member, shining the light of reason into the chaos of .. erm... well, chaos, I guess.

Man, it's too early for metaphors..

RussischerZar says... #22

@KrazyCaley: Wouldn't it be better if people that signed up as drafters already stated their timezone in this thread?

June 19, 2013 7:46 a.m.

zaddos says... #23

EST, but I would like to be on the team that would rather pick a board wipe over an aura.

June 19, 2013 7:53 a.m.

KrazyCaley says... #24

@RussischerZar - Probably would have been a better idea. I'll just stick with the original plan, having come this far with it.

I would like to be a drafter.

@KrazyCaley, In the event that there are too many drafters, I wouldn't mind it if you made me an observer instead. I'd prefer to be a drafter, but all I really want to do is participate.

shuflw says... #46

observer - 0b$3r>3r

2nd vote for drafting the way the block was designed to be drafted. last draft seemed pointless.

June 19, 2013 11:51 a.m.

apt142 says... #47

GoldGhost012: Basically, the way this one will work is that site members will split into teams. There will be a pilot for each team. (At this point the team leads/pilots have already been chosen.)

The teams will represent each of 8 players at a draft. And for every pick that would normally come to a player in a draft, that pick comes before that team. The team will then debate the merits of each card and select one to go in their draft deck before passing the pack on. The pilots will tally votes.

When it is all done the pilots will then take the decks created in this process and will have a tourney against each other to see who wins.

On each team there will be people who can observe and not comment as well as those that will be active debaters/voters. That's what we are choosing now. Who would like to participate and what role they would like to play.

This is a great way to learn how to draft! I would highly recommend joining in if you are in the slightest bit interested in this process.

What can I do if I don't want to get a MTGO account? Nothing?

June 19, 2013 2:29 p.m.

apt142 says... #62

Only the pilots/team leads need MTGO. The rest of us will be participating via this website.

June 19, 2013 2:33 p.m.

Matsi883 says... #63

Then I'm in as an observer. I live on the East Coast of the US, and I'm not free all day (as I'm sure most of us are).

June 19, 2013 3:19 p.m.

erabel says... #64

I don't have too much experience in drafting, so I'd rather be an Observer than give input.

As per Ian's request, I'm here to sign up for his team.

SwiftDeath says... #83

I would like a drafter spot but is there any requirements to do so? I dont have MTGO but i am on Tappedout daily.

SwiftDeath

June 20, 2013 12:40 a.m.

KrazyCaley says... #84

@SwiftDeath - There are no requirements for just participating other than to sign up here. Only leaders need the MTGO account.

June 20, 2013 12:43 a.m.

For the sake of objective fairness, I'd rather the teams were randomized as much as possible. If I know a bunch of people in my group are already buddies, then it's going to be really hard to talk them out of a mob mentality pick.

That and what if they're just soooo baaaaad?

June 20, 2013 12:44 a.m.

mossflower says... #86

I think mainly randomizing it is what KrazyCaley wants to do (the obvious exception being timezones). I was kidding when I said wanted to be on DeckBuilder345's group. ....Then again, I did recently find DjinnjerVitis's name.... Team RUG could have totally been a thing. 0_0

June 20, 2013 1:13 a.m.

SwiftDeath says... #87

changed my mind thought about it and i would rather be an observer. not enough overall drafting experience to feel i would do whatever team im matched with justice.

June 20, 2013 1:17 a.m.

KrazyCaley says... #88

@landgrafb - I am accommodating some special requests that have good reasons, but otherwise, it's being randomly assigned.

June 20, 2013 1:39 a.m.

I'd love to be a part of the draft debate if I can.

June 20, 2013 2:28 a.m.

I, TheHorse, would be interested in signing up as a drafter. Assuming this happens before the 27th I should be free any time.

June 20, 2013 2:52 a.m.

Timekeeper says... #91

I'd like to be drafted, sir. No sir, I'm not enlisting but I'd like to be drafted. Yes, I'm aware that's confusing, but I would appreciate it if you went ahead and respected my wishes. I'm sure I wouldn't be to difficult to accommodate.

And now for something completely the same: Timekeeper = Drafter.

June 20, 2013 3:11 a.m.

TiredTofu says... #92

I'll draft the shit out of this. Let's DO THIS.

TiredTofu = Drafter

June 20, 2013 3:22 a.m.

Draugo says... #93

Sure I'd like to participate as a DRAFTER. Debating one draft pick at a time and seeing other peoples reasons for picking certain card from a pack is what makes DDD fun.

June 20, 2013 3:24 a.m.

Draugo says... #94

And of course I missed the part of putting your username in the post so here it is:
Draugo = Drafter

June 20, 2013 3:25 a.m.

CardMinnow says... #95

Sign me up as an observer, I would draft, but I'm starting a new job on Monday, and would likely be less that useful since I haven't worked full time in almost 2 years now.

Thanks for organizing this thing KrazyCaley, looks like its gonna be a lot of fun.

-CardMinnow

June 20, 2013 3:32 a.m.

Since it seems like everyone is doing this.

June 20, 2013 3:42 p.m.

landot says... #104

@NickyTwoShoes -- my understanding is that the actual drafting will start on June 23; we have to have teams prepared and communication among teams set up before then.

Also, be thinking of awesome team names! Be warned that I will push my team to have either frogs, terrible puns, or both in the team name. :-p Can't wait to find out who I'll be working with . . . and who we'll be smashing into small, if friendly, pieces.

June 20, 2013 4:34 p.m.

Mmm...team names. That seems a must. Team RonBurgundy reserved!

June 20, 2013 4:41 p.m.

mirosith25 says... #106

Maybe this is to late but I would love to get in as an observer! I'm new to Tappedout but love MTG and think this would be a good way to start becoming familiar with the Tappedout community!

June 27, 2013 8:55 p.m.

KrazyCaley says... #114

@RedSoxFanKy - Never too late to sign up! You should now be able to view the observer area here: http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/3dm-ddd-observer-area/
