Tallyrand is solid

I got mine ready

6.10 John Locke, Justice Minister, UK, Pre20th

I don't even have any names left for my air chief, justice minister or economist. I'll have to do more research or get creative :)

I'm now running into the Pre/Post limit wall.

Tallyrand was a good pick. One of the two or three diplomats I was considering.

It's tough which is why I made sure to go 4 post and only 2 pre so far.

I need to do a list of what I have left and where I hope to use what era's or i'm going to get myself in a bind

To help, I printed out a list of the categories, then wrote down the eras I except to take with each. Then I wrote down 2-5 names for each list from that era. I also wrote down my ideal round number for each category. Then I have a nice draft list to use.

what is the plan for the weekend?

I'd hope we'd continue to move forward, albeit at a slower pace.

that's what I just did, and I'm pretty sure I know where I'm going with my next 2 picks i hope

Alright, I have one of my next two picks, hopefully he lasts.

surtt picks:

6.11 Lech Walesa, Civil Rights Activist, Poland, 20th Century

Apathetic Lurker picks:

6.12 En Hedu' Anna, Artist, Iraq, pre-20th century

7.1 Ibn al-haytham, Scientist, Iraq, Pre-20th century

surtt picks:

7.2 Billy Bishop, Air Chief, Canada, 20th Century

Great great pick. I wish I had thought of him as I'd have definitely taken him over Tallyrand. Well done!

Abe and Barkeep are here so if they pick and then larry has a list for Noop or Noop picks, I'll be here for a little bit longer to make mine.

Nice, lets get a run going!

I am here too so we might be able to get a good run going.

I've gotta go but Larry's got my list.

I pm'd Abe.

Both my picks are ready to go!

I have a brief meeting in 15 minutes, but I'm around to pick once I return.

7.3 Sergey Korolyov, Air Chief, Ukraine, 20th


Sergey was the genius behind Sputnik and Vostok. He was the head designer and it was his vision that led to the great Soviet successes despite lagging behind the US in several keys areas of technology. His death in the mid 60's was the beginning of the downward turn for the Soviets. He was also the unofficial manager and organizer of the Soviet Space Program from behind the scenes.

1st post updated through the first 6 rounds. I also added a list for each participant so you can track your timeline count and categories you still need to pick.

thanks larry

Barkeep on the clock now, yes?

Yeah, I sent him a pm

I checked his list, but all of them are taken.

Looks like no one is in major trouble with the timeline yet. By my count, everyone either has a 3-3 or 4-2 balance.

So it looks like we are stuck again. BK.

You SOB!

I thought she would slip through!

Sounds like a couple of y'all got owned. :D

hehe

I'm here for a few more minutes if there's a Noop pick.

Let's go Noop!

Noop sent me a pick, but didn't list a country,a nd the pick has multiple potential countries, so we'll have to wait for him.

Boo!

Bah.

Arghh!

you could just post it so that people can keep going - everybody else may be looking at a different category...

Just use your expert opinion ;)

Yeah and then we can stop when someone wants to pick from that same category!

exactly. might be a category everyone in between has picked in, or doesn't want to pick in yet...or was thinking of a totally different part of the world...

FWIW, the pick I was going to take Noop can't so maybe we could progress that far?

Just a thought. :)

Agree.

Sending larry writeup for my pick in case Noop isn't back before I have to leave.
