People, but that can create problems when you are sitting in the Irc channel (#Draft4you on Solidirc.com) waiting for more people to show up (it seems as though you are always stuck with either 5 or 7 people)
Based on personal experience, I can say that while its real people, most netdrafters dont know what they are doing anyway.- xRECKONERx

I could be in, depending on the time we do it.One time, back in 'nam, Sudo was set upon by an entire squadron of charlies. He challenged them all to a game of Pictionary, which he won resoundingly. The charlies were forced to not only surrender the skirmish, but also their world-famous chili recipe, which Sudo sold to Texas for a hefty profit. Sudo is a master of diplomacy.- xRECKONERx

EDIT: Also, if you get bored, post your Zombie decklist, I'd love to see what you've come up with so far.
I'll do this when I get home (I'm kind of at my boss's house dicking around with the new company laptop right now). chamber took at look at it and laughed at me for having Endless Ranks of the Dead but I <3 my ERotD!
probably doing my first draft tonight. This is the only game shop that has a late draft (11PM) as opposed to one at 6:30-7:00PM. any last minute tips? I'm nervous as shitgreen shirt thursdays- bv310

Don't overcommit to a colour or colours too early, look for a cohesive plan, draft based on strength and not rarity. Don't forget to try and get some removal.
When I draft, I usually pick the best card from pack 1 and build with it, unless I see nothing useful in that colour by pick 3 or 4.
In DKA/INN/INN, tribal drafting can work, but it can also be really hard if someone else tries it. Don't underestimate things like Feed the Pack, those outright win games.
And for the love of god, don't talk while you're drafting. Yeah, it's fucking fantastic that you pulled a Snapcaster pack 3 or a Sorin pack 1, but the rest of the table doesn't need to know. (/petpeeve)- xRECKONERx

A decent rule of thumb is to just snap-take any card worth enough money to pay for your draft.(11:04:10 PM) senspizzaline: That's actually my bold prediction for the year
(11:04:19 PM) senspizzaline: Miami finishes 2nd in the AFCE.

Oh they're usually worth it, even if you just splash for them, but don't JUST take them because they're expensive (This is also assuming you want to win rather than break even money-wise).
Also, don't forget that hate-drafting (picking a card you don't want to see against you) is an entirely viable tactic, even if it'll get you hated by the rest of your table. Don't do it if it'll hurt your deck, but if it's late in the draft and the rest of the pack is useless to you, then you take that Bloodline Keeper so no one else gets it.
P-EDIT: I agree with Sens, to a point. Taking a Snapcaster Mage in a late pack is entirely correct, since you just paid for your night.- xRECKONERx

Yeah... I'm thinking I'll follow a rough listing of LSV's roundup of DKA-INN-INN drafts.
From the top down:
UW Fliers
WB Humans
RB Vampires
RG Werewolves
These are what I’d consider the Tier 1 archetypes, which doesn’t mean that they are always better than the others, but that they are better more of the time. There exists a nut version of every deck, but it’s pretty hard to go wrong while drafting one of these combinations; they are open more often, and better when they are open.
To me, this says "Go for white if it's open." Is that fair? I hear white is pretty stronk in the current format.green shirt thursdays- FaerieLord

Evasion.
Thinks like sorin/liliana/garruk should almost always make your deck. You winmill slam them anyway for the money (or, at least I do) but you can almost always fine room in your deck for a card with that kind of power level.tout comprendre c'est tout pardonner - Thestatusquo
