D_V, as long as you keep us informed of what's going on, all will be well. It's just hella cool that you are doing this, so I'm sure no one will grumble about a few glitches.
No, I think we're all happy someone is leading a draft. Sure, it's taking longer than we initially scheduled, but it's just for fun anyways. Like rantipole said: just keep us updated on what's happening and we're all happy

This is a mess. I have all of your picks. But thats it. I lost all the packs. I have the original packs so, I will sort through this. It will be tomorrow that I will send out all of the packs. I am sorry for this long delay. I feel like a jackass right now. Stupid flash drives... I don't care if there is a meltdown in my town I am not leaving my house when I get home until I get these packs out.
Sorry for the lame delay,
Dv
Hey D_V if you need any help I have no problems giving my spot up to help you. Or if you wish I can help with 2 pods that I am not in. Just let me know.

Thanks goes out to DarkNightCavalier and XenoNinja
No, your group I ultra messed up. Like I sent Usman the wrong pack not once but twice, and I got back his new pick, and I will send put your groups packs tonight.
I'm gonna post all of my packs and picks, since I have those saved, as well as my deck. Then I guess people within the same pods can play each other to see how their draft went.
I think the discussion is more interesting than the playing though personally, since apparently, within all of the pods, no one picked the same cards from identical packs. I'd love the see the reasoning behind it.

This! I'm lousy at using MWS, so I'm more interested in the discussion. I'm really not sure I picked the best cards in my packs, so I'd like to think what everyone else did.
I would totally be up for playing, but I agree that the discussion is the huge payoff. It will be really interesting to compare and contrast styles.
D_V: When can we expect the next pack? It'd be nice to get these on a daily or bi-daily schedule. I'm less worried about frustration than people just losing interest and not checking, thus slowing down the process further.
So, I was going to send out packs yesterday and yeah my power went out go me!! We are having some snow in Washington and for us it is weird... So, some idiot hit my power line with their car.

Ok, so my internet is back up, but guess what I am going on vacation. I don't think I will have internet, so, in a week we will start this back up. But I want to make this very clear I will no longer be waiting 2-3 days for people to send me their packs, if I don't get your picks in a day of me sending them out, I will drop you. Now, I am still waiting on a couple of people right now, and you know who you are, I won't drop you on account of it being holiday seasons and you might also, be away from computers, but I come back and I still don't have your packs you will be dropped.
On a nicer note thank you for all of your patience, everyone, I have never done this before, so I guess there should have been a lot of mess ups, but I think I have this ironed out and we will be able to bang out the rest of the packs quickly when I come back.

When are you coming back? I would suggest you just wait to restart until after the new year. I know I'll be away from 12/31 until 1/3 and I imagine others will be unavailable for the holiday.
Won't dropping people cause problems for the pod? I wonder if just selecting a card at random for the slow people might be a better solution.
Thanks again for doing this. I'm looking forward to it getting going again.
I am going to follow rants advice and wait for the first of the year before I start up again actually the 3rd. I just got back last night and I have a lot of things that I need to take care of anyways. So, packs will come out on the third. I thought about randomizing the picks, but something like passing an Akroma for a Shock.... might come up.
Not really. If someone if blatantly in BR give him the Terminate over say Rewind. However, I would suggest that if a player misses >1 in a row or is a serial skipper to go random. Sometimes you just can't help it if you have a commitment and as we have been very patient with Death and packs being sent, maybe it should be reciprocated.
It might be a wise idea to just restart the draft with new sign ups. That way we can ensure that at least the people who are supposed to be drafting know that a draft is actually going on. I think all 3 pods were about 5 picks in so it's not a huge loss, and frankly I don't even remember what I was drafting anyway.
Well, with the way the pm system works, I would advise each drafter to save a copy of their pm so they know what they drafted. I myself bold my choice so it's easier to recognize for Death_Vampire and it's easier to tell for myself when I'm reviewing the packs.

I knew there were going to be challenges when we started this thing. Though we did learn some valuable information from this whole ordeal. We probably need to brainstorm for more ideas on how to smoothly run this whole thing without depending always on a few people (i.e. the host being busy, people dropping, etc).

I think the one person running three pods was an interesting idea, but it doesn't work unless the host is on a ton. I think three (or however many) pods with separate people running each one (they can participate in the other pod) would work. I'm also a big fan of clear message ship times and deadlines.
Cheers,

When can we expect more packs?
