These things take time.

I have been part of one of these in football where we drafted every position and used players from all of history. 32 teams x 25 players = 800 picks.

We only have 40 😉

Epic idea!

What happens when the teams are done? There’s no way to be able to battle each other intentionally ☹

How these threads work (based on other Forums, like for sports) is I make a Matchup Thread with the teams detailed (lineup, banner, team bonuses, etc.) with a poll. The poll is open to the entire community to vote on who they think would win in a head-to-head match.

It’s in the OP, right under the draft order, I redrew the list for Banners. Have to redraw because of an even amount of rounds for the Troops. If I used the same list, then the players higher up in the original draft order would have an unfair advantage (having 3 rounds in their favour compared to 2 for the players at the bottom of the order).

Same rules as before, once one is taken you cannot choose it again.

Sorry @Studs, i know you want me to pick some other troop, but he doesn’t fit well with Celestasia 😉

So here is my choice.

With our second pick, Royal Fire is proud to select, from Whitehelm:

**Mercy**!

@PowerPlay, your turn!

Power Play knows the next troop he wants to put in the team and holds the card in his muzzle. It’s Alastair.

@actreal is next up.

What’s this? @actreal’s Bone Dragon is using its archlich powers to summon a teammate.

Emerald tentacles rise from a smoking pentagram inscribed on the earth, it’s a…

**Green Slime**!

@Shiratori, you’re up. I recommend not feeling rushed by the flurry of picks that just happened. 🙂
