Not sure picking someone who wrote a book called "On Jews And Their Lies" would have been a good Civil Rights pick. |

it was 100% because of the religious aspect of things and not the racial though. he was concerned that they wouldn't be saved |
I woke up just now and rushed here, fearing that I had been on the clock for a while, holding everything up, but that fear appears to have been misplaced

Yeah, me too. I guess this is how we all pass the time at a paid jobs:) |
lol nope
|
Damnd, Noop was actually here 30 minutes ago too.
|
Did someone PM him?
|
It's my pick?

Here's another for those who prefer rock over techno |
8.8 Saint Augustine - Religious Leader - Algeria- Pre20th Century
I want to put Italy instead of Algeria(I copied the wrong word and pasted real quick) but I don't want anyone to cry foul. So I will wait until Larry allows me to change it. |
What country?
|
Huh, you know I never knew he was from Algeria until now.
|
Hmm I copied the wrong thing but I don't want anyone to cry foul.

8.9 Yi Sun-sin Naval Chief Korea Pre-20th
His ability to hold off the superior Japanese forces is legendary. |
8.10 Sigmund Freud, Scientist, Austria, 20th
|
8.11 Vincent van Gogh, Artist, Netherlands, Pre-20th
|

I am impressed some one else other than me actually knew how great this guy was. In korea he is a legend like Washington here. |
Yay, Apathetic Lurker is here!
|
So it seems its my double yet again...
Karl Doenitz Naval Germany 20th...subs subs subs..... who better and what better to protect our shiny next pick, British Isles..geographical england 20th century |

|
oops..that was my old set...oh well. I wont moan too much
|
Quote:
Yes, his name is often brought up as a asian comparison to Britain's Admiral Nelson so he sure is worthy of the pick. |
9.2 Panama Canal, Man made Structure, Panama, Post-20th
|
9.3 Miyamoto Musashi, Athelete, Japan, Pre20th
I had this guy targeted for this pick for a while. He is the perfect complement to Alexander the Great. I have a general who never lost a battle and a warrior who never lost a battle. The greatest warrior of all time. |
Quote:
Great pick, he is who I was targetting for that spot. |
If it gets to me, I'll be around later this evening.
|
BK was here but then he left. :(
|
Did you send him a PM?
|
Sorry. I thought we were moving away from me. Pick shortly.

fuck you...i was going to take Tirpitz with my next pick - now i'll have to go to my backup naval chief :rant: |
Quote:
fuck you also - this was also on my list to take next |
Ok. This kind of messes with my division of 20th and Pre-20th and I had planned on picking some modern despot in this category. But I can't stand to see my back-up Lawmaker sit on the board any longer, when I think he'd be such an excellent ruler.
9.4 Sulieman the Magnificent Turkey Ruler/Leader Pre-20th Century He led the Ottomans to their greatest heights and it was no coincidence. |
Quote:
Who? the grand admiral of Paraguay's navy? |
Oh no...I've got a solid backup. Otherwise I would have taken Tirpitz earlier. Actually I have a couple solid backups.
|
Quote:
You blocked another Ruler/Leader I had ready. Heh |
Noops is up right?
|
Aye
|
9.5 - Xiao Gang - Economist - China - 20th Century

Scotland is part of UK, which has already been picked in that cat. |
Quote:
Yeah I just saw that you didn't let David Hume stand because I was going to argue I can use Andrew Carnegie here but I will change. What about my Saint Augustine pick? Can I change it to Italy? |
Andrew Carnegie built a library in New Zealand can I use that as a country instead? He does have a connection there...
|
I am heading out in about 30 mins so if I can get a quick reply...

Way life goes |
I've made a ruling on a pick that hasn't been made yet that covers some of the same ground. I approved that pick, but not this one. I'm just mentioning that so we don't have a big stink when the pick is made.
The library isn't enough to claim a connection, I'm afraid. If it was like the main thing he was known for (see: Hitchcock's US films), then I could let it go, but otherwise, any businessman could be selected for doing anything in another country. |
Off to dinner
|
Changed.

Finally, after 10 years here, someone is happy to see me show up...lol Oh..and my first "fuck you"..hehe |
