Izulde, then me, correct?

Yes.

Just got in, but I need to head out for a bit and then be back.

Edit: Ineligible pick

8.2 - Statue of Liberty, Manmade Structure, USA, Pre-20th

Argh, sorry. Missed that. *goes back to drawing board*

9.6 - Satoru Iwata - Economist - Japan - 20th Century

After the seeming collapse of Nintendo as a legitimate heavyweight in the television video game console market after the debacles with the N64 and the Gamecube, Iwata led Nintendo back to the forefront, riding this generation's hottest system, the Wii, which has proceeded to smash untold numbers of records.

Named one of Barron's top CEOs, his brilliance in understanding the economic climate and leading a storied company back to headliner prominence is an amazing accomplishment. Now he moves on from restoring Nintendo's luster to chartering the financial future for our nation.

9.7 Henry Morgan, Navy Chief, Jamaica, Pre-20th

One of the most notorious and successful privateers in the Carribbean, Morgan spent the bulk of his time operating out of Port Royale (where he was Governor for a time), carving up the Spanish Main.

He, unlike most pirates, actually retired very much alive.

Take that, whoever blocked the British Navy. :)

GAH!!!

not sure if we're stalled on me or not...if so I apologize. been dealing with computer problems all night - trying to get it all backed up so I can send it in for service on monday but everytime I go to create a disc image it starts taking forever n freezing

No worries. I think you are up since Coffee went last.

not sure what pick # I am in this round (on my phone right now), but don't want to hold this up any longer

9.8 - Themistocles, Naval Chief, Greece, Pre-20th century

Who's up?

Wondering if someone was going to take Themistocles

yep. he was 1/1a with Tirpitz. figured it'd be hard to pass by the guy who essentially won the naval battle that enabled the rise of Western civilization though

and FYI - if I've got to pick later in the day I'll have to do it from my phone, i'm about to wipe my HD's and get this laptop ready to send in to HP for service tomorrow morning

so i'd appreciate it if the person before me sent me a PM just so that pops up so that otherwise i can ignore the thread till tomorrow morning at work

Nice, two pikcs, boom boom

DAMN, THAT WAS MY NEXT PICK:(

9.11 Peter I The Great, Naval Commander-Russia, pre-20th century

"The father of the Russian Navy"

Wow, glad I took him over the pick I was planning for 10.3, wasn't sure which I should take first, but thought Hayek was the better choice to take first

Lathu m is around in the WW right now, so hopefully he'll pop on over in the next few

gimme a few

See?

10.1- Religous Leader- Joseph Smith- Pre 20th Century Founder of the Mormons

I like de Ruyter

Boom, Boom ,Boom. The picks fall!

Lathum didn;t choose a country for Smith

maybe he meant to pick whackoville?

I am sorry about this but I have a problem with Puerto Rico being considered a separate country.

Agreed

I totally missed it, but you are right.

agreed

They do compete separately at the Olympics.

Yep, if Scotland can't be considered a country, doesn't seem like Puerto Rico should be able to be either.

Sorry, but Puerto Rico is United States and cannot be used as a separate country.

Thanks for the updated draft list. Been a little busy today, but I'll try to get a full update on the first page tonight.

BTW, don't know if anyone noticed yet, but I have yet to pick any two people from the same country. I am going diverse!

Wow, I am getting old Puerto Rico is part of the States and Pluto isn't a planet anymore;( I chnaged it to St.Pat, religious leader.

smith should be in the US. And I agree, Puerto Rico is in the US. IMO the olympic argument doesn't fly since baseball isn't an olympic sport.

interesting pick

yea I figured I needed a 20th century leader. And I was going back and forth over 2 of them.
