Rules:
Step 1. Find your name. That is the order you choose in.
Step 2. When it’s your turn, “Call” ONE hero in the comments. (Anybody from all of literature, but you can’t have somebody who is already picked!
Who will you pick? After this round, everybody will have one hero, and draft round 2 will start. At the end of 7 drafts, everybody will have a group of 7 heroes to bring. Yes, trades are permitted.Don’t worry about obsessively monitoring this thing. If you don’t call your hero in 24 hours, we’ll skip you.
• No picking out of order. Once the woman above you has chosen, it’s your turn. (Not before!)
• Trades are permitted, but be clear about announcing the results in the comments or email so your host doesn’t have to play sleuth.
• If it’s your turn and we don’t hear from you for 24 hours (Yeah, like we’re patient enough to wait 24 hours snort) sorry, you’re skipped. But you can email your host ahead of time with your pick.
• Latecomers: SORRY, we wish everybody could play, but there has now been a moratorium placed on add-ons, due to the record-keeping nightmare this will soon become.
ROUND 2: Hosted at Sarai’s as soon as this round is over. It could be a day or two. And the order will be reversed! Bridget, you will be first. There will be 6 or 7 rounds! We’ll each have 6 or 7 heroes to bring!
ROUND 3: Hosted at lisabea’s
ROUND 4: Hosted at MaryKate’s
ROUND 5: Hosted at Christine’s
ROUND 6: Hosted at Katie(babs) & Kristie(J)’s
That 24 hours rule luckily didn’t get tested.
I know – we’re so stinking impatient! haha! Oops – looks like I need to update Round 3 before 4 comes along!
