Let's Make a Movie Rules/Draft

[Fnord]

This will be a snake draft format.  So, 1-10, 10-1, 1-10, 10-1, etc. 

RULES

1: You are drafting everything in current time. No dead people. No old people drafting them as younger.

2. You are making a movie that will be released in 2014 or 2015.

3. Your creativity is the key. You can do a remake, a sequel or an original idea.

4. Once a person is picked for a position, they cannot be drafted for that same position.  For example, if Ben Affleck is drafted as an actor, he can still be drafted as a screenwriter or director. 

5. After the first five round, the actors/actresses will begin to get drafted. You do NOT have to draft them in any sort of order but you MUST have a Lead Actor, Supporting Actor, Cameo Actor and Breakout Actor in your movie.

6. We will have 11 rounds to draft actors. That should be enough. If you want to draft a movie like Movie 23 (which I heard sucks) and draft 20+ actors, then we will have a open pick-up/drop/trade round where you may add more actors to your movie if need be.  This will be open pick-ups with no order, so make sure you get the 11 you want in the first 10 rounds. Also, if you don't need 11, just post "PASS" so the next person can pick.

7. If there's an actor you want, you can negotiate trading picks like other drafts.

8. There will be a deadline of 24 hours per pick, so please pick promptly. If you miss your pick, then you just miss it so pay attention.

9. When I use the term Actor, I use it as both Actors and Actresses. You CAN have ladies in your movie.

10. At the end of the draft, you will have 72 hours to post your more synopsis. It can be as long or short as you'd like it. Remember, you're trying to get people to vote for your movie as the best, so make it good.  Make sure to point out who your 4 key positions are: Lead Actor, Supporting Actor, Cameo Actor and Breakout Actor. 

11. I was going to have "genre" as a drafting category, but I figured we'd all do whatever genre we want to make it more fun. Plus there aren't enough genres out there for all of us to get one we'd like. Maybe next time I'll limit the genres.

12. I'm going to apply a "3 Strikes" rule.  If you miss 3 picks, you will be out.

This is the first time that I've done this, so bear with me. With might have to flip a switch or two if I forgot something.
