Rumblers League New Purchases Thread

[Sharkerbob]

Pretty sure next week is the break, since this is week 9, right?

You should get the 13 points on Sunday, so you can buy stuff next week, during the break.

Unless the break is intended to not have any purchases going on either...? In which case, you wouldn't get the points until the next Sunday, and you make your purchases during Week 10.

I don't know how this usually goes, though, I assumed the break week had purchases. If not, best to stick with tradition.

This week is a normal week.

Next week, as you correctly say, we do a mid-season draft with mid-season credits, which is the way we've always done it.

Will that begin in time to add purchases to teams and have those purchases available for the Week 10 fights?

Yes, these are all discussions we've had already.

You get credits this very Sunday, like sharker has just reminded us, and then the draft will be finished by Wednesday, as per the arrangements we made for this draft a few weeks back.

We never get to this stage of the season without a plan in place for the mid-season draft.

I have always made sure of that whilst I was fully in charge, and I wouldn't have let things get this far if plans hadn't already been made this time around.

Remember though folks, if you have something in mind to buy that you can afford now, you are best off buying it before tomorrow's draft because the order changes and you might miss out.

Munch hasn't said whether he was buying, even though he was up first, so we're well past his turn.

[KJ Stewart]

A quick calculation tells me we've been on this week's purchases for 19 hours, which would mean we've reached me, but I'm not buying, so we're actually all the way down to Mandy.

Therefore, if anyone wants to buy normally before tomorrow's draft starts with the extra credits, we've got a situation where it's a free-for-all.

Until the draft starts, ANYONE can currently pop up and buy with their current credits.

Sharker, what time are we starting with the draft tomorrow?

Note: Draft order tomorrow is...

Randy Mandy
KJ Stewart
Darth Drizzle
Stigma Rex & Estrecca
Tami
Cleric of Hell's Brigade
Bobisbeast & Vycesyn
The MunchKING

And the draft will run up until Wednesday to ensure that newly drafted characters and items are in place for the start of the 2nd half of the season.

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

Just to confirm, as I got a bit confused, when we get our extra credits, can I use them AND my already acquired credits at the same time? Or should I go ahead and post my regular credit purchaes now, since it's a free for all time?

Tomorrow is a draft.

While you can combine your current credits with the credits you get tomorrow, you will have to buy everything tomorrow 1 at a time.

So if you can afford some items/characters that you want now, do it. But at this moment in time, you can only use the credits you have i.e. not the 13 you will get tomorrow.

[Tami]

Tell me when I get my 13 credits, then l'll buy. If I just have 7 I'd rather hold off.

Coolio.

Thanks, KJ. :)

As stated, tomorrow.

I don't know how sharker wants to do things, or when he wants to start it, but when it starts, I would suggest a 1 hour window for each individual turn, and then it becomes 5 minutes after 24 hours, so completion by Wednesday is achieved.

It's not like it's a full draft, so it's not asking much for people to be around for their pick really.

[The MunchKING]

Munch hasn't said whether he was buying, even though he was up first, so we're well past his turn.

Well that's cause I was confused about people saying it's week nine and we're not coming up on the midseason. As I stated before, I'll be using my points at the midseason draft.

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

Yellow Lantern Corpse Disc (9)

For Magneto, please.

[KJ Stewart]

You know, given that everyone's turn has actually long passed, we're well within our rights to just start the draft early.

So, what I'm now going to do is take the initiative and open the draft.

I've added 13 credits to everyone's total on the site. And now RANDY MANDY can begin the draft.

Let's say we were going to start the draft at 4pm (GMT) tomorrow (which is 20 and a half hours away), what we can do until then is give everyone 5 hours to make their pick up until that point (which makes up for the fact we've opened it early), then at 4pm GMT we can knock it down to 2 hours for a full 24 hours, then it becomes 5 minutes.

So, Mandy, start the draft. You have 3 hours to make your first draft pick.

Remember, there is now an additional "10" slot available.

Randy Mandy (0 credits)
KJ Stewart (1 credit)
Darth Drizzle (16 credits)
Stigma Rex & Estrecca (0 credits)
Tami (2 credits)
Cleric of Hell's Brigade (18 credits)
Bobisbeast & Vycesyn (23 credits)
The MunchKING (0 credits)

P.S. We'll just do it in this thread, as it isn't that much bigger than a normal purchase week.

[Randy Mandy]

Well, I think that my picks are firsts.

Xemnu (Marvel) 7
Acme Iron Glue (Looney Tunes) 1
Mobius Chair (DC) 10

It's actually 1 pick at a time, but luckily it was also your turn in the normal purchasing just before it, so I think we can let it go.

For me, Perrikus (Marvel) for 10 credits.

Darth to go.
