You're in a beautiful cabin in the woods with a gently murmuring stream close by. You spend your days fishing, communing with nature and truly enjoying the serenity.
At night, though, you find yourself wanting a little something to challenge your mind before you drift off to a quiet and peaceful sleep. There is no internet, there is no radio. There is a TV (nice 60" flat screen) but no broadcast/satellite/cable reception. There is a Blu-Ray player, however. You have the ability to obtain your 12 favorite films (never mind how you do it - details aren't important.
) Hence we have the "TDOS Cabin by the Lake Movie Draft"...
Once we have the requisite number of participants, we will decide the draft order by use of the number randomizer. Once the order is determined, each person will in turn pick the movie they want for their cabin. By the end of the draft, you must have at least one movie from each of the following decades: 60s and earlier, 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s, 10s. When you make your selection, you will also need to explain your pick. You are allowed to make your pick and then add your explanation at a later time to keep the draft going. All picks, however, must include some kind of write-up.
After the completion of 12 rounds, we will conduct the playoffs with Kingsfans.com members voting in each round until a ultimate winner is determined.
I am the commissioner. Registration, draft order, rule changes (if any), and any disputes/questions will be handled by me.
All movies must have been released in theaters. No made-for-TV, no Netflix, no Amazon, etc. Too many of those films just aren't available for everyone to view and it's hard to expect people to vote for a bunch of obscure films no one (except you) has seen. You cannot pick a trilogy as one selection. Each movie is stand-alone. In addition, you cannot pick a "director's cut" or other version of a movie if someone else has already selected a different version. You can pick a remake, however. NO PORN.
There is a time limit of 24 hours between picks. This becomes really important because of the worldwide distribution of our members. When you make your pick, it is up to you to send a PM (start a conversation) with the next person to draft so they know they're up. I will try to keep the board updated as quickly as possible. If the 24 hours expire, the pick goes to the next person. The missed pick may be made up, but only until your next pick comes around. At that point, the missed pick is forfeited. If you think you might be unable to post your pick in a timely manner, you can send it to another member of the board to post for you. It is then their responsibility to notify the person who is on deck. Make sure you check the lists of selected movies. If you pick a movie that has already been taken, your pick is forfeited. I reserve the right to replace any participant who misses more than two rounds. In the event that happens, the new person will be allowed to make catch-up selections to catch him/her up with everyone else.
The draft will be NON-SERPENTINE. This means if you get #6 in the first round, you will have #6 in each subsequent round.
No trades are allowed. Once you have selected a movie, it's yours for all eternity.
Now, let's see who wants to join!
