With Worlds over, we've started another Player Year (patent pending). At most of the major events, I held a mini draft. Briefly, you picked five affiliations/factions without copying a prior entry and if they were played, you got points.

This was different from the stockwatch in which you bought and sold affiliations/factions whose values went up and down as the Year progressed.

I am leaning towards running a stockwatch for this year, but wanted thoughts on the draft. The draft can be much shorter term and even if you come in partway you can still jump in at any time. Contrast that to the stockwatch which is a longer commitment but tracks through a longer period of time.

Let us know in the poll what your thoughts are for the draft and tell us why in the space below.

Regardless, they will remain Just for Funsies. No cash and/or prizes will be awarded.

Draft is better than stockwatch. I kinda stopped caring about the latter after awhile.

Yes to this... I like the drafts- short term, no worry about continuation. The stockwatch is more than I want to deal with remembering/following.

Buying and selling individual stocks is too hoppy, like an IPA.
