Well people, it’s that magical time of the month where I start gathering you together and we all play “Duck, Duck, Goose”! As usual, the start date is the first of the month, specifically _ **Wednesday, June 1st, 2016** _. The Draft should take about a week at most, so you will need to be active for that first week as much as possible. There will be fun changes and amendments to the whole game, as there will be every new Series. Rules/Regulations/Guidelines will be posted in the next week. * * * **Prizes confirmed:** _1st Place:_ **8 Arcane Traitstones of a single type, player’s choice** _2nd Place:_ **5 Arcane Traitstones of a single type, player’s choice** _3rd Place:_ **3 Arcane Traitstones of a single type, player’s choice** _Participation (not including 1st, 2nd & 3rd):_ **1 Arcane Traitstone, player’s choice** * * * **Automatic Invitations:** @Bobomb - _ **Accepted** _ @DonBoba - _ **Regretfully Declined** _ @Machiknight - _ **Accepted** _ @Studs - _ **Accepted** _ There are **13** available spots. If demand is high, a lottery will be held. * * * **Staff:** _Commissioner:_ @TaliaParks ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/2X/6/67c4282e1250fbf839aa16fbd06a0cb6bcc64208.png) _Deputy Commissioner:_ @Shiratori ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/2X/a/a56f5c4df6fe96e0f80140a830b95995f5d3d75d.png) _Media Manager:_ @Tacet ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/2X/5/5eae5c1c581de5c8291b5d5c5bac6f27729f2040.png) _Graphic Editor:_ @yonizaf ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/2X/9/9b346591a374c805589b108260ce9f8f7a24cb38.png) * * * **How to Apply:** [Private Message](http://community.gemsofwar.com/users/TaliaParks) the Commissioner, or respond in this thread * * * ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/2X/e/e28533b7b9e21e9681ec515e6013c4b39c34ed7e.png) ---

Hmm I wonder if a newbie like me can stand up against the titans who have participated so far 😮 ---

Sure you can @Ozball, everyone has been new at one point or another. If you can build a good team, especially if you like to build “unusual” teams, then the Series is for you! EDIT: Plus, where else can you get free Arcane(s) of your personal choice? 😉 ---

Random thought I’ve been meaning to ask for a while now in regards to the series: Hero/Weapons are not up for drafting are they? ---

I suppose I should mention I’d like to accept the invitation? ---

> [@Ozball](#): > > Hero/Weapons are not up for drafting are they? There will be a Series in the future where the Hero will play with the same stats, but different, unique weapons (a weapon will only be drafted once). > [@Machiknight](#): > > I suppose I should mention I’d like to accept the invitation? Excellent, added your confirmation to the OP. Welcome back @Machiknight! ---

No not yet. There would have to be a discussion about how to handle that. Or what @TaliaParks said above. ---

Everyone welcome my Deputy Commissioner to the party, @Shiratori! Don’t worry, he’s not allowed to participate. 😉 ---

Like I said, I wanted something less stressful. You know how hard it was to be in trade mode nonstop? ---

Well technically the offer stands if you want a freebie and take a break for a month. Way less stress I’m certain ---

In contrast I’ve been watching Fantasy Drafts for 14 days now (give or take a couple days). I have no idea how stressful it is! 😃 ---

It’s only stressful if you are hyper-competitive like @Shiratori and I are. I hate losing, so, so, so very much. ---
