Possible Draft Idea
I was talking to another poster last night about something that's near and dear to my heart (well not really, but something that's good for a cheap laugh) . . . commercials.
Throwing out the idea for a TV commercial draft. Possibly different categories based on business, and then maybe a PSA.
Thoughts?

That would be interesting MQS - I don't know if I could be inventive enough for it but it would be fun to try.

Interesting. I was thinking about commercials too but thought it perhaps too limiting in itself. How about a youtube draft though compromising of some categories like commercials, sports moments, movie moments, tv moments, funny stuff, animals and things like that. There's loads of Youtube clips out there. Something like that could be fun and commercials could be part of that.

Rather than start a separate thread for every draft idea, I'm going to piggy-back on this one. I think a great one would be an architecture draft: favorite skyscraper, favorite bridge, favorite hotel, favorite public building, favorite park, favorite pre-20th century, etc. I'm not sure it would have as many GMs as some of the other drafts, but it could be great for a small crowd.
I should also add that I don't know a whole lot about architecture, but it seems like there are a number of people on here who do know a lot, and I love reading their opinions.

Never though of this one, sounds interesting.
I'm not a huge fan of commercials, I usually flip the channel
Next draft I was thinking of was famous people.
Political Leaders
Generals
Inventors
Medival
Philosophers
I dunno. I don't have many categories.

I like this one, you can also do sub categories like:
not from Earth
From Earth
team
Lamest (cause that could be an entire draft on its own)
woman
man
other
created by experiment gone wrong
Best Hero
Best Villain
introduced in different decades.

Sorry! Deep thinking, agonizing over picks, and yelling at others who took your choice is a prerequisite for all CP drafts.
Besides, are there even more than 100 superheroes?

for sure there has to be more than 100. Although there may be some people stuck with Robin. Maybe it could be Heroes/ Villains

By the way....

So I was thinking with the TV draft coming to an end it might be a good time to bump this thread. Does anyone have more ideas on what we make the next draft on?

You guys can certainly start any type of draft.
The superhero/villain/comic book character draft sounds fun but I don't have a clue about it. I wouldn't be able to commish something I have no clue about.
Someone should start a workshop thread and gather interest. I'll help anyway I can.

A draft idea I had was to have a "Stud" or "Hunks" draft, you know, basically like the Hottie draft, except drafting men instead of women. I don't know how many people would be interested though?
