This really should be about the exercise and not how easy it will be for others to judge how we did. If we want to do twenty rounds, lets do twenty rounds. Who cares if it is too hard for others vote? Heck, I'm fine with skipping the voting entirely if that's a big hangup.
BTW, I'm holding off on the draft order until I get more feedback on the number of rounds everyone wants to do. Since we all signed up for twenty, I'm inclined to stick with that but if there is overwhelming desire to shorten it, I'll comply.
I think what I'm going to do is just ask each person to state their preference for 12, 16 or 20 rounds (or don't care) with their first pick. Majority rules. In the event of a tie, we'll stick with 20.

For me, nothing I've ever seen has compared to The Wire. It only ran for 5 seasons, but each season was so complex and rich that 5 seasons felt right. The transformation of the multitude of characters and of the viewer themselves (at least in my own experience) create a television experience like no other.
Confession - I don't quite understand the trade system in drafts (never done Fantasy Football league or anything of the sort). I understand draft boards and all that, but trades - can someone give me a quick summation of it?
Considering you've found the need to respond to my threads as if you are threatened by me I offer you some peace my confused counterpart. May you find peace in your restless soul.

Really, all you are doing is trying to get enough value in return to switch places. It's harder to explain in a draft like this because generally we won't be trading actual shows, just draft positions, and there's really no analytical measurement to who "wins" - we aren't taking Nielsen ratings or anything into account.
From the trade that JD and I executed, it appears as if he really wanted The Wire. But I had the #1 pick, so he had to do something to entice me to trade. So he gave up two picks where he obviously does not benefit in order to give me an incentive to trade the first pick to him.

To add to this...in a snake draft, the first pick overall has to wait for everyone else to pick twice before they get their second pick. In a draft with 20 teams, that means the 1st pick overall has to wait 38 picks before they get another pick. Pick number 20 has to wait 19 picks before their first pick, but they get the second pick right away. So the person who picks last gets the advantage of being the first person to pick twice. So if you have an earlier first round pick, but you think the person/movie/whatever won't be chosen until later in the round, you can trade picks with someone to get a better pick in the second round.
No when you get into real football it all gets way more complicated because you can trade players for future draft picks and a million other things. A very common example is a team will trade an expensive superstar player for future draft picks. They are willing to take a short term sacrifice in order to improve their teams long term future success. The team on the other end of this trade is doing the opposite. They think this superstar can bring them to the superbowl this year so they are willing to sacrifice the future draft picks for immediate success.
