Do you see a way to fix this issue?BassNBrew said:

We can do a "Normal" draft :IBTL:
BassNBrew

Yes...after a player is stolen, reset the everyone's chance to steal him again to one opportunity. That way after Duckboy gets LT, everyone back to ARod would have another opportunity. If he's stolen again, then everyone gets another opportunity. Let owner's have the option to re-steal, hence no one is penalized for stealing LT early.

Does the fact that the middle guys can steal on both of their draft picks even out the fact that the ends can can only steal once per turn?BassNBrew said:

This makes sense. I will add it into the rules. I thinks its probably best if we start over with this new rule in place. Should we start over?

So if someone steals him from me, everyone gets another opportunity, including me? Not sure how to track that; just means that someone will take him in the 2nd, someone else in the 3rd, someone else in the 4th, etc. When do you stop stealing LT?
Fullback Fro
yesno
I know, I know. I had a feeling there was going to be some traiwrecking but I think when we iron out all the details this could make for one helluva fun draft when stragery really starts.

You only get a certain amount of steals. You could waste them all and never get him.
Fullback Fro
yesno
We could also chalk this up to nice idea but too hard to impliment?

5 times max per the rules.

But in theory here (if enough people used steals in the right places) Aaron could end with him at 20.16, correct? All the last few rounds likely will be then is steals of steals of steals.Good theory, and I think the way around that is to only be able to go back a max of 16 (as was proposed before) which eliminates some of the benefit of those of us on the ends.

Each person gets 5 steals, so all it takes (assuming no one else stolen) is each stealing in progression, plus reset, and that's only 1 steal each plus 4 or 5 extra.

I'm thinking the ideal strategy should be to draft guys who you think won't be stolen. At 1.1 Arod should select a guy who he feels is first round talent, but who's ADP is early second round. You want to draft players who won't be stolen. Eventually LT will look enticing because drafting him will give you the option of taking a player on the board once stolen and forcing your opposition to burn steals.

This is correct, and what I was looking at with Marvin in the 2nd (should have likely made the turn past everyone's stealability), then the opportunity to steal back anyone in the 2nd or 3rd. Effectively giving me my top pick in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc. Though I guess I could modify by picking my top 2nd in the 2nd, and just stealing whoever my next pick was (though that would burn steals way too quickly).If I were Aaron I would have chosen someone like the top WR or Gates (whoever you might think was a high second and unstealable), then stolen LT back at 2.16 when no one could touch him.Edit for typos

I just started a new thread with a modified set of rules for consideration.
Whatever we decide, we should make sure that everyone understands them, and restart this draft.
THIS IS A BRAND NEW DRAFT STYLE WE'RE PIONEERING. IT MAY REQUIRE A LITTLE PATIENCE AS THE KINKS ARE WORKED OUT!

Anyone for getting the band together?
Limit to three steals, maybe 3rd round reversal?
