Is DraftSim busted?
TappedOut forum

I'm doing a draft between me and three other players, but the decks keep switching between only two players, or not at all. I set it to 4 slots, no bots. Am I doing something wrong or is the sim busted at the moment?

This sounds like a problem my friends and I have been having ever since we started drafting on here a few weeks ago. If we had a draft with 6 players, it seemed like players 1, 3, and 5 would share 3 packs and 2, 4, and 6 would share 3 packs instead of the whole table passing around all 6 packs. A similar thing happened when we had 8, half the table got 4 packs, the other half got the other 4. It didn't seem to matter if we had bots or not. It did seem to fix itself if we unselected the option for players to choose their own seat. My guess is that there's something wrong with that option. We were drafting cube and tried a few different cubes with the same results.

Whenever I hosted the draft for about two weeks, I turned it on (seemed like there was no reason not to). The draft would not work properly according to what I described. I'd then get someone else to host the draft and it would all of a sudden work (my assumption is that they didn't check the select seat option, though I don't recall). After doing a successful draft last week, I went back and tried a quick test run without select seat selected and it worked as expected.

yeaGO Just now getting around to this. Doing a quick draft of 6 players (5 of which are bots), it looks like it was behaving correctly. I didn't see an option to have the players select seats though.

python2048 yes in pursuit of a bug fix we revoked that feature for now. Is it required for your group?

yeaGO Not at all. It was more of a "if people can choose their seats, why not" type of thing.
