To all of you who will be moving on the round 2:
Take your time submitting your cards. I am flying back to Saskatoon Thursday morning and will be AWOL for most of the weekend. We’re moving our shit out to BC and I will be an angry sweaty mess for most of that time.
Post your steals in the threads and I’ll update the OP in the Draft Room at some point. Submit your cards to me by Monday and I’ll get Round 2 posted sometime after that when I can get back on my laptop for a few minutes. I probably won’t be online again until at least Tuesday unless I’m checking in from my phone and fuck posting polls on my phone.
Whoever already submitted stuff feel free to make tweaks if you want.
That is all. Be nice to PI while I’m gone. Or don’t, I’m not your mom.

I see we might have a tie or two.
In the event of a tie, get someone to post a vote that hasn’t yet to break it. No ties.

The primary fun in drafting IMO is cobbling together a roster you like that inspires you to write out even just a little bit of fan fiction. Fuck trying to draft with the exclusive purpose of advancing to the finals by trying to predict the whims and fancies of the voters.

My Round 2 card is in. Figured I might as well do it now since I didn't have anything else going on tonight and I'm likely to be busy over the next few days.
I'm happy enough with it. Also added a little bit of New Generation Wrestling-style frippery to spice things up. Sometimes I just can't help myself...

(That's how worried I am about facing the Shin juggernaut, lol) Shit im fucking screwed, PI's graphics put my ms paint jobs to shame. This is a rematch of last year's draft finals and PI is looking for REVENGE. Im working away on my card now, ill have it in by tonight for sure. So glad we had a Sunday to work on it. Having a blast getting my fan fic on today, i forgot how fun this shit is

To all the guys that lost in the first round thanks for signing up and sticking with this all the way through, this wouldnt be as cool without 16 competitors. I hope you guys are good sports and continue to vote in the rest of the tourny. everybody gave it everything they had and i felt like a few of you should have advanced. My advice if you want to make a run in this thing is to broaden your horizons and try to find a balance between what you like and what the voters like, if i only draftes guys i like it would be all shooters and dudes like New Jack and Sandman and id never win either. Mix it up sometimes, old school, new school, a little bit of everything something for everybody

And i got to give props to RT for putting me over in the first round, i think he was clearly handicapped a bit by having to devote the time to running this whole draft and getting all those polls up in a timely manner, on top of whatever else hes got going on with moving and shit. If the dude had the bandwidth to devote to these things hed clearly blow us all out of the water. When i won last year first thing i did was thank rt and wms for not signing up haha

I kind of like it when people get away from the norm and go gimmick. Everyone drafting the same ol same ol maybe the safe way to go, but it kind of takes some of the fun out of it. KITN draft has opened my eyes to a whole new world of talent.

Quit politicking for votes, shinobimusashi! You've already got mine anyway. Also... Ditto. I even made a graphic! (That's how worried I am about facing the Shin juggernaut, lol) Shit im fucking screwed, PI's graphics put my ms paint jobs to shame. This is a rematch of last year's draft finals and PI is looking for REVENGE. Im working away on my card now, ill have it in by tonight for sure. So glad we had a Sunday to work on it. Having a blast getting my fan fic on today, i forgot how fun this shit is My skills are not what they once might've been. I put together a rust-covered disaster as an overall show header. I'd originally wanted to make a banner for each match, but then quickly realized that I'm not and never will be zap. Also, I keep forgetting that I took RT's hijacked scraps to the finals last year. Despite having my own roster from the get go this year, I think I'm only a blip on your path to repeating (regardless of what card you put up). You're like the Penguins of '16-'17. You won't be denied.

KITN draft has opened my eyes to a whole new world of talent. I tried to go the gimmick route last time and it failed hard the second round. I think it could have worked with the right wrestlers though. I went totally random this time with plan and am about to fail hard again. Honestly I think some of it is luck with steals and matchups - whether or not your able to save some of the bigger matches.

Last time I went with a more diverse draft and weaker first round card saving my big guns for later rounds. Think I got two votes. This time I'm rolling a mid 80's gimmick. Attempting to focus on matches that I don't think have never happened. That people might want to see. I squeaked by in round 1. Hope I keep squeaking through round 2.

Hello I am still alive. Barely. We own too much stuff and my everything hurts.
If you haven’t sent your round 2 card in please do so. I’ll post the next round by Wednesday at the very latest. I might have all the cards already, I don’t know. I’ll check when I’m on my laptop tomorrow. If I have them all I’ll post it.
Whew. So tired. Moving is STUPID.

The 4th is on a Wednesday, so no long weekend as far as I'm aware... Lots of people are probably taking off work the days before, after, or both. Silly Canadian.

My boss is asking for volunteers to work 4th and I said yes. Mid-week holidays suck.

Round 2 is up! Polls will be open until Saturday night!
Use the weekend (not long if you aren't Canadian #sorrynotsorry) to throw up your steals and slap together your Final 4 card if you are one of the lucky ones to make it to the semis. Speaking of semis, I got one looking at these cards. Y'all are deserving of being in the Great Eight.
We'll get the Final Four underway sometime next week. I'm thinking Thursday night for a deadline? I can go sooner if you guys can get those cards done but I won't rush you. The deeper we go the harder it gets (that's what she said).
I'm working out of town next week and can get everything posted between jerk off sessions in my hotel room. You guys let me know what you think is fair for a deadline next week.

I'm glad we got a longer deadline for this round, I've got quite a bit done over the weekend but still got a lot to get done. I'll have my entry in either Tuesday night or Wednesday morning.

Alright well since The Show and Baker tied and we never got a tie-breaking vote, they'll both have to send in cards and the semi-finals match against UT will be a Triple Threat match. Show and Baker are at a handicap because they don't get to steal from each other, obviously. The other semi-finals match up is shinobimusashi vs PBGood luck to you all. I'll give you a couple extra days to get cards in considering the craziness. Try to have them in by Friday night please, so I can post them for the weekend.
