Have we done a toy draft?

So...is this sidekick thing excluding comic characters?

I hadn't considered it as excluding anything, but that would be up to whoever actually ran it, I suppose. I wasn't even figuring that "sidekick" would be rigidly defined, but rather that if people didn't buy some of your choices as sidekicks that would just work against you come voting time.

Have we done a toy draft?

Would that involve picking specific toys, or whole toy lines? For example, would you pick a specific version of Optimus Prime toy, or would you pick Transformers?

Hmm I'd probably say individual toys would be better as that allows for more choices.

Would different people be able to pick different versions of the same toy?

Hmmm that's a good question. I'd open that up for discussion

Not all of them, no. And in fact, thinking on it, I definitely can come up with enough awesome sidekicks to fill out several rosters (though theme may escape me), so yeah, that seems like a viable idea after all.

And it would allow somebody like Deadpool to go ahead and draft all comic book characters, while still leaving the option open to others, if they wished, to draft sidekicks from other media.

To my mind, you wouldn't even have to decide on some rigorous definition for "sidekick". If you think they are a sidekick, go ahead and draft them. If others don't agree with that designation that just means you may lose some votes. Might want to decide if we should limit it to fictional characters, though. Might be amusing to have a team with the likes of Art Garfunkel and Ed McMahon, but maybe we don't want to go there...

Man, a team with Art Garfunkel and Ed McMahon, etc. would get my vote.

Have we done a toy draft?

Yeah, back in the Primus days. I believe it was the draft that started the trend of naming yourself "Dr. Naysay" which I did.

What about a reboot draft where we just recast movies? lol

I'd also be down for this.

Have the parameters been defined for this Sidekicks draft? Is it ALL sidekicks or only comics?

[Mister Ed Horse of a Different Color Find all posts View Profile Close Mister Ed]

If it makes a difference, I'll probably skip it if it is only comics. I'll still vote, though.

[W.West Moderator Find all posts View Profile Close W.West]

ALL! Including comics.

If you're in that big a hurry, why not run it yourself?
