    Forum Games does sound appropriate right? This what we've got anyway. What about 10 rounds? As far as the serpentine, that's the only way to handicap picks and value.

    Pick twice (once more), Desolation, you are the final competitor! Commence the second round of ten!

    And the third with:

    Forgive me for the questions, but it's easier to play a game properly when you understand the rules and goal.

    I don't think it's been said yet what we're doing with our picks once the draft is over, so how are you defining value? As far as the serpentine order of choosing, I get the reasoning, but not the reason, if you know what I mean.

    Yes but probably the world's most beloved poet is the top pick, given that he also was a reputable vigilante swordsman in his youth, as well as an esteemed drinking partner.

    See you kind of set your own value.

    Do I have to wait for the others above me to go?

    If not, I'll take Walt Whitman for the second round.

    I'll take Judy Blume if nobody grabs her before my turn.

    Wait I am sorry - but I am compleatly confused. Would it not be better to start from the begining with some actual rules and scope of the game. I mean, how is one meant to win?

    I think we're just turning the pages for now, and the plot will reveal itself eventually.

    And Stewed is right, you're up. Papayahed has already chosen, so the next three after you are Gilliatt, Pierre, and me. I already know who my next three picks will be.
