fwiw - I think both ways of doing it are good games, just different. I probably would have made the show get eliminated, but like I said there is interesting strategy here as well.

As does expanding to all shows, not just sitcom family shows. It seems to no longer be just sitcoms, and not be only "family" shows. Basically you can pick from any tv show that ever aired and the only thing that can be blocked is an actor/actress/voice artist.

I had thought of lasie, but then thinking about the specifics of the game I decided lassie wasn't a comedy so I left him off my list. I did think of a pet though and I'm doubting anyone else thinks of this one but I'll have to wait and see.

This got changed from a "Sitcom" draft to a "Television Family" draft before we started drafting. Comedy is irrelevant imo at this point.

Hmmm....I think the contrary actually. I don't look at Theo as a risk at all, but more of a "hedging your bet" type guy. One of the things I discussed with my wife was whether to draft on pure entertainment value, pure icon status, or general cohesiveness. I'm still a little undecided on which way to go. |

dola, and if it's not a sitcom family draft, then Cliff Huxtable definitely isn't the first choice for Dad.

I disagree. There are far better fathers out there in dramas. I think we need to pause for a moment and let Dr. Sak clarify this. Looking at the picks, I think most players thought this was sitcom only. How else would you pick Homer Simpson over XXXX? Or Stewie over XXXXX? My two cents, but I think that most people still thought this was sitcoms only. |

The title of the thread was. I can't really defend the situation here, but you can't change it at this point, I don't think. No matter what a group gets punished, and I don't think it should be the one that was paying attention to all the posts over the ones that just skimmed. Personally I think Dr. Sak should have been more iron fisted and stuck to his original intentions (but you guys know I'm a jerk ), and barring that he should have updated the first post, but, ohwell. We are where we are and this draft will still be a lot of fun.

I really dont see what the issue is here.
If someone wants to pick a charecture from ER fuck it and let them. The voters will sort it out. |

I think the issue is more that some thought they were limited to Sitcom characters because of the original premise, but Dr. Sak opened it up to non-Sitcoms at some point. They were picking from a more limited list than the rest of us.

Personally, I'm going to use characters from all genres of TV to make an awesome sitcom family.

It's a little odd that one of the guys complaining about us not sticking to a strict "sitcoms only!" rule used the #2 overall pick on a character who's not from a traditional sitcom.

It will still be fun, and I'm not too worried about it since Sak is nice enough to run this for us. I would have preferred it was just sitcoms to make it more challenging, I might still stick to that with my own picks anyway. |

2-3 Montgomery Burns/Bad Guy - This was a tough one. The Simpsons offers up so many avenues, but I felt it was best used in Villains, since sitcoms have so few. This also eliminates a few "out there" late choices for other categories, since the voice actor, Harry Shearer, does many other side voices on the Simpsons.

Picks so far. I have to say that I went back to page 2 of the thread and saw where Dr. Sak opened it up to all genres of television. I think the later picks got that but the beginning ones didn't. Needless to say, I don't have a problem with the draft so far but I also could understand anyone who has a problem with it being expanded beyond sitcoms due to the first post. |

I'm sticking with the sitcom theme. If the voters don't like it, tough.

I remembered scanning the discussions on the sitcom discussion and thought to myself "How the f are we even discussing if a show like ER is a sitcom??"
I glossed over it and didn't think much of it. Ah well.. that is my bad.

I think many if not most were not aware of the change. Still, I guess it doesn't matter. I'll likely be sticking with just sitcoms myself. The voters can decide in the end.

I missed the change as well. I looked back in the thread, and didn't see a post where it said we were abandoning sitcoms. I saw some where he said he didn't want only family-based sitcoms to be in the pool, rather sitcoms in general as the pool.

I started out wanting it to be a sitcom draft then Wade went off about how sitcoms are 30 minute shows. I didn't want someone to pick a character from say "The Office" as one example, where another poster has a shit fit because The Office is sometimes an hour. So I took away the sitcom thinking that it could be from shows that are an hour just so that there wasn't that argument.
Honestly I just wanted this to be a fun draft. I love TV, a lot of people here do too so I thought it would be a fun idea. Now I am remembering why I dont like these things. |

Lol. I love these things to death but the one thing from previous drafts is that it has to be clear and unambiguous. Still doesn't prevent anyone from pulling an Imagine but while voters have the final say, it has to be clear to the participants in order to have the interest to continue. |

Rules question: Is "wildcard" meant to be a free slot that lets you double up in one category, or is it meant to be somebody who doesn't fit neatly into any of the existing categories?

This is why we can't do fun things.
Goddamn it people, why do some folks have to make a simple thing so damn complicated. The first two lines of the original post laid out in very clear terms what this was supposed to be: Quote:
The bolded parts are pretty damn simple and clear. A draft based off of sitcoms. The categories to draft were family members/friends/enemies/pets. Nowhere did it say only 30 minute sitcoms, nowhere did it say "limited to family based sitcoms".

As long as the voters know it's not a sitcom draft, i'm fine with that. I specifically shifted my strategy when the label was changed.

What we were referring to is that I guess on page 2 it was changed to all of television and not just sitcoms. I missed the whole arguing about 30m vs 60m shows, but I guess the result of that was the change. |
