In an attempt to have some fun and show that gamers can adapt this draft is being set up to help all the fanboys here that would like to participate in it to broaden their horizons. You have to throw away your old allegiance and when you are drafted to your new team devote every ounce of your fanboy being to them. If you currently defend one company constantly and troll threads of your evil archnemesis your role will be suddenly reversed.

Just try to remember it's all in good fun and everyone should be able to walk away with some new perspectives.

Rules Rules who's got the Rules

ABSOLUTE ULTIMATE RULE - YOU DO NOT PICK WHO YOU GO TO! ONLY POST WHO YOU ARE CURRENTLY A FANBOY IF YOU WANT TO PARTICIPATE!

1.) Only those posting in this thread that they want to join will be allowed in. This is not forced and participation only. End date for posting of intent to participate will be on Friday Jan 20th at the stroke of midnight (pacific time for those lagging behind us cool eastern time people).

2.) Post your intent and also post your current alegiance. We don't really care if you think your unbias just pick the one you think you lean most towards. And don't cheat, we have daviddayton's uber alegiance list to double check. I will update the list daily with current people.

3.) This all or nothing, the time frame is up in the air but I was thinking of about a month? At least till the next convention like the Sony confrence to get full impact of this. You have to be fully devoted to your new allegiance. No back stabbing, hedging or being nice. No bannable offenses, be smart, but don't be a wussy either. Embrace your new team....they are all you got!

4.) 3 strike rule in effect, any infractions against your "team" can and will be reported and will be judged by the 3 team captains. Third infraction and you are booted off your team and out of the game.

5.) Captains will be chosen on Saturday in a combined vote write in (pm) vote. Choose who you would like to see as captains for each team out of those players and the most votes wins. From there starting on sunday those captains will choose one person a day to draft to their teams till everyone is drafted. Microsoft team gets first pick, then Nintendo and then lastly Sony.

6.) No cash prizes, there may be MVP awards handed out for bragging rights. Just the satisfaction that your team was the most hardcore fanboyish.

7.) Be absolutely sure you want to do this. All or nothing, if you don't think you can go against your own personal bias then don't waste our time. Ask yourself if you are funky enough to be drafted. Are you? ARE YOU?

Also, something that would be awesome and help is once the draft is over if the mods could tag those people with their new allegiances. Just a modest proposal.

*feel free to advise, this is all new and a team effort

I'm Nintendo and I want to go to the Phantom camp.

You don't pick who you go to. And no Phantom, just the big three.

:lol :lol :lol

Fucking awesome. I'm in. Put me down for Nintendo, coming off the "lucid dream" that was Microsoft.

Wait you were MS? This is tricky because you already stated you have no more allegience to them. I will put you down as coming from MS then so we can at least accomplish one good thing from this and find you a new home.

My name is Phoenix Dark, and I love Nintendo.

Bullshit. Do you want to participate? I will put you down for Sony then if you do.

If I don't get voted captain, I might backstab. Is that wrong? :D

It's an infraction and you would be kicked off your team, so yea.

PEOPLE YOU CANNOT PICK THE TEAMS YOU GO TO, HENCE THE WORD DRAFT!


If you want to participate state that you do and who you CURRENTLY are a fanboy of.
 
Count me in...

Nintendo Fanboy Squad +1


TyMe 4 a RevOlUT1on.





EDIT: Upon further investigation I'll probably not be attending any conferences or conventions, I'm just simply devoting my entire being to team Nintendo.

Just for clearification.
 
This was talked about in #ga, and this was by far the stupidest idea you guys have come up collectively.

I'm going to create a new league, with two teams. Team Banned and Team Not Banned.

Sorry. Didn't see that I wasn't supposed to ask to go somewhere. That bolded stuff at the top was not there at the beginning right.

It's ok, the OP will be in constant flux to keep people informed.

I'm hardcore Nintendo, though I'll learn to support whoever takes me. I work well with others. I have been known to kill, eat, and urinate upon the innocent. I take up little cap room, and want my contract to be based on incentives. I run a 4.1 40. I own nearly all consoles. I love Advance Wars, Tales, and Madden.

Awesome :lol

Sell youself to become a first round pick

It's so true
 
Ohh.. I thought this was something else when I read the title. I was thinking we were going to see a list of like the top 5 fanboys on GAF for each console. Like a list (its gaf we love them lists) of your top 5 fanboys on each system. Which would be cool actually. Then someone could tally up everyone's votes and then we could have a final list... maybe then a Tag under your name showing where you ranked (if you did). ie: #3 Nintendo fanboy with a link back to the thread.

Woulda been funny to see.

Only if you don't want to have fun or are too hung up on your biases to participate.

And for the record that whole Pedophile thing and detective work on myspace from a couple days ago in OT was a worse idea. :)
 
Nooo!
All Nintendo fans should refrain from joining this game, because then Nintendo would have all its regular fanboys and 1/3 of the MS/Sony fanboys that participated here.
Nintendo would be unbeatable at GAF like the DS in Japan!

That said, I'm Acrylamid and I'm a Nintendo fan... count me in.

once the draft is over
When will this be?
I don't think I can handle betraying Iwata for too long... or Gahiggidy, for that matter. :(

Another question: Maintaining an Xbox360-GCN comparison chart for the Media Create Hardware Sales threads isn't considered pro-Nintendo bias is it? Because I would like to continue that.
 
Count me in, according to that list I'm currently a Nintard (I had a hard time choosing between MS/Sony/Nintendo but gave the nudge to Nintendo just for Zelda). Be prepared to back up your claims with HARD evidence !

Yes I know, I am laughing that someone actually went to check every person's post count and made a pie chart of it

lol

Hey, it was a slow month, and I was learning how to use Open Office's graphing system.
 
DCharlie said:
i'm in ! I'm down as a sony hater i guess, so i guess "!= Sony"

Just for sake then say, Nintendo I guess.

Probably a month tops. Middle of feb.

You can maintain sales threads, just do no show bias against your current team.
 
Well, let's see, I guess I've been playing my DS a lot lately, even more than my PC or PS2, which puts me at Nintendo I guess. But if I were honest, I'd say it's a pretty even split between Nintendo and Sony for me -- however, if I were to choose, I'd go with the big N.

Hey guys, I'm on Team GOD DAMN THE GAMING FORUM IS FUCKING USELESS. No fat chicks.



:lol :lol :lol the offtopic forum is a joke. threads about "what curry should i use tonight"? :lol get the fuck outta here
 
citrus lump said:
It seems everyone is picking Nintendo. This'll be awfully lopsided. :lol

You don't pick anything but tell us what your current allegience is. You are drafted into your new fanboy allegience and have no choice where you go.

I am pretty disappointed though in how much the Sony Horde and X-bots are wussing out and unable to give up their allegience for at most a month. tsk tsk
