While waiting for other people to pick I sometimes have weird ideas pop into my head.
Weird Idea #1 - Instead of having a draft lottery and choosing closer to 1 or closer to 24, we could have a land run to see who gets to the best parcels of player first. After we have 24 runners, a guest starter would fire the virtual land run gun and everyone would ride their virtual horse to their virtual plots of land. I have said virtual enough. Whoever posts first gets to choose their draft slot. The second poster chooses next and so on. Maybe someone doesn't want the large section next to the virtual river. Maybe someone wants that small plot that's full of rocks and quicksand. (24th)
Weird idea #2 - Once we have 24 runners managers, everyone turns in a selection of which pick they want. Say, for example, if you are the only person who asks for pick #3 then you get pick #3. If five people ask for pick #1 then no one gets it and we move on to round 2. We come up with a clever way to settle ties. Maybe if five people want #1 and none of them gets it we do a lottery of those five people and assign them the five picks closest to the top of the draft that nobody bid on. Maybe those five managers end up with 4, 6, 9, 11 and 19. Who knows. I feel like I should have one more sentence.
