    it's like if the two lists were:

    DMT
    Heye
    Ken
    Diablo

    and the numbers were
    4
    1
    2
    3
    5

    one way would say
    feral = 4
    DMT = 1
    Heye = 2
    Ken = 3
    Diablo = 5

    That's how I always imagined it... but I don't think it's how johnny does it.

    He says...
    4th name is first so Ken #1
    1st name is second so Feral #2
    2nd name is third so DMT #3
    3rd name is fourth so Heye #4
    5th name is fifth so Diable #5

        OK, I'm glad we've established the order for the 1st 5. What about the rest of the list?

          I somehow ended up with the 6th, 10th, and 12th picks in the first round... also a compensatory #2 sandwich pick between the first and second round for finishing in the bottom 5 (stunningly an option DMT hadn't come up with yet).

          • Step 1: randomize names (A, B, C, D, and E)

            E
            D
            C
            A
            B

            Step 2: randomize numbers (1-5)

            4
            2
            1
            3
            5

            Then you match them up and get:

            E - 4
            D - 2
            C - 1
            A - 3
            B - 5


            So C picks 1st, D is 2nd, A is 3rd and so on.

                  right, but I don't think that's how it's actually done...

                  I think it's
                  4th name is first so A #1
                  2nd name is second so D #2
                  etc...

                    We need a poll to decide which way to do it...with a long discussion of which way disadvantages appropriate drafters

                      You mean Johhny just makes up an order and lies about the names and numbers, right ?

                        Like I said, two methods. Neither is subjectively better.

                        ETA: I see johnny uses the other method for VDs but I use this method when I've set draft orders.
                        If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.
