The eUsa draft: Finger flingers crazy idea.

Day 3,276, 16:34 Published in USA USA by shadowber

Dear eUSA,

Like in the real usa we need to cut the bs. We all know that the same people are running everything whoever gets elected no matter what party they are in. In fact in recent eUSA elections there has been massive overlap if candidates choices for different positions. It's time to realize that the parties don't matter anymore. After all, many top players have realized this and routinely jump parties. Case in point is a recent gnilraps article (who has jumped more parties in the last year than I have ever been in) where he urges players to join him in the uswp so that they can experience the game differently or something.

So here's what I propose. We institute a draft/trade system where the top five parties get to draft the top eUSA players. This can work very well, and it will blur the lines and cause a general lessening of malfeasance in the eUSA.

The draft would work as follows.

Being that most things in erep work on a monthly basis, we'd have a monthly or by-monthly draft. We will start by the age of the players, so all the players over a certain (to be determined) level who started in 2009 will be in the first (December) draft and so on. Once we've reached the players who joined in 2016 we will lower the levels need and start over again.
Draftees will have to work out a contract with the parties who draft them, and will need to honor those contracts.
There are many details that need to be worked on, but the draft will be loosely modeled on major league sports drafts.

The trading system will also be loosely based on sports.

Another thing that will be needed to make this work is managers. These will be people with the exclusive job of drafting, writing up contracts, and working on trades. Managers will be left up to the party to decide on...
