Sun Tzu Chinese...pre 2oth century ...Army Chief
|
Not a bad pick.
|
1.2 Julius Cesar, Leader/Ruler, Italy, pre-20th
|
just a heads up you guys should bold your picks with round and number, makes it easier to follow and know when you are up.
so for example 1.1-Sun Tzu Chinese...pre 2oth century ...Army Chief 1.2-Julius Cesar, Leader/Ruler, Italy, pre-20th |
The second restriction is a kick in the nuts.

You bastard. |
Larry, can you edit the draft order into the first post?
thanks |
Loving the first pick. I do think Julius Caesar is a bit overrated, though.
|
1.3 Alexander the Great, Army Chief, Greece, pre-20th
|
Love Alexander the Great. :D

I am so sorry..........BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!! |
Thanks

Nice pick Abe.
|
Added picks (and draft order) in the first post. I'll also add a breakdown by category so people will know what countries have been picked in each one.
|
thanks larry
|
God dammit.

Truly a great pick. I was just watching a special on the History Channel all about his philosophy. Enjoy paying that number 1 pick guaranteed money:) |
I just hope my top pick falls to me. :D

I'm not happy you pick before me here. :) |
It is interesting seeing which people choose military leaders first and or as there rulers as opposed to those who choose non-military leaders first or as their leaders.
|
next:)
|
I PM'ed Barkeep to let him know it's his turn. :)
|
I feel like Barkeep is going to take my pick.
|
Heya BK
|
I presume we won't make it to 1.8 before I get home and have a chance to get online in like 2 hours.

Hard telling. |

As soon as Barkeep makes his pick I will post mine then Izulde will do his I presume. |
I'm betting my pick is going to fall to Izulde, who is waiting for the same thing I am.

It's always nice to send in a list just in case. Sometimes a potential run can be missed by someone being gone for 45 minutes. If you know your top 2 or 3 for sure, no harm in sending it to larry. If you really need to see what other people pick, then I guess it's harder to justify. |
i have no idea what i'm going to pick yet. i haven't even started to think about making a list of my top overall, let alone by category - i just said i was in earlier today...didn't know that we were going to get things going in the middle of the day

Adam Smith Economist Great Britain Pre-20th
Your average person could name 3 economists, if they're lucky. Odds are Adam Smith, who kind of defined the academic theory of the field, would be one of them. |
I apologize for the hold-up, but when I had looked last there weren't many sign-ups.
|
And everyone's economic pick vanishes.
|
oooh BK with the sneaky pick
|
Brilliant pick BK. :)
|
Don't you fuck me, Izulde and Noop. :P
|
Give me a sec
|
ok - i just sent my top-pick to larry (well top pick and then a backup). if they're BOTH gone then you'll just have to wait
|
1.5 -Oil Fields of Saudi Arabia, Geographical Location, Saudi Arabia Pre-20th Century
The war machine must have oil. |
Posting my top pick now. Let me write it up.
|
...well. That was unexpected.

It's a risky pick. More then likely will cost me in the eyes of the voters. |
I was actually thinking of drafting a Pirate themed nation with Henry Morgan and the Sargasso Sea and Blackbeard and such. It would have been funny, but porbably not in the spirit of the draft.

1.6 Manfred "The Red Baron" von Richthofen - Air Marshal - Germany - 20th Century
Is there any greater or more well-known fighter pilot in the history of the world than The Red Baron? Certainly the best in World War I, with a confirmed 80 victories during the campaign and he showed leadership ability by commanding the famous Flying Circus. So masterful an air warrior, he was even highly respected and admired by the opposing Allies. |
Quote:
You know what I had him as a pick but I figured I was safe with that until the third round at least because leaders were in vogue. Good pick. |
Damn, I had him in my list too. BUT...
|
1.7 - Jesus Christ - Religious Leader - Israel - Pre-20th
|
Jesus Christ! Okay, yeah that pun had to be made. :D
Great pick CW. |
