Whoops. Um I might be able to get mine in by tomorrow but if not then y'all can forget about me. Damn

Go ahead and take a shot at it if you've almost got everything assembled.

And draft has ended! The time for making adjustments to your team is gone.

If there's anyone left who was in the midst of assembling their team, I may make an exception so they can toss their team in.

Orrrr we wait til everyone who's joining is confirmed and have selected their teams within the given confines and people can spend those points as they fit (sticking with the +10 rule if anyone already has a person (or increasing that number to +20 or +30 or something like that to reduce the chance of teams all having Richard Linklater or somebody). Just a thought.

This would work.

And yes, if a +10 has already been added to a person, you add a further +10 to them, taking their cost up to 20. Then 30, etc.

Like, say, a fifth? So instead of having 300 for doing nothing, you have 60 points.

IDK man, do what feels right, but that sounds good to me

I say we'd only get a percent. To get all the points ... well then the best tactic would be to just get BEA members as your actors and finish with 0 points ... on top of the 300 you start with. I see giving partial value to unspent points, personally ...

I was actually thinking about this yesterday as well. I can't decide whether it would be fair to add our leftover points to the total we get throughout the game or not.

Opinions?

I see 😜 So it is about real oscars? If it is perhaps someone can choose mine so I can participate which I hope I can?

Hmm. this could be fair. it's basically a handicap. You're taking more chances picking underdogs, so it makes sense that it'd pay off in some way

Okay, I think five days is long enough to wait. Here's the draft for a film this year which I'm calling...

Behold the Turtle!

In an homage to the B-movies of yesteryear (though some say a blatant attempt to do a knockoff of Interstellar), a spaceship from the near future named 'U.S.S. Jhereko' is sent out on an expedition to find a future home for mankind. Electrical problems cause the ship to crash land on a distant planet where all the animals are tiny. Except, strangely enough, all the ones that want to kill humans.

As the valiant crew flees, they stumble across a seemingly wise and understanding turtle that stands three stories tall. It shields them from the horrible monsters that strike from every side, on this strange mysterious planet they've named "Meccalecca"

All throughout this, the valiant crew learn many important lessons about, I don't know, humanity and stuff.
