Apathetic Lurker 05-12-2009 02:29 PM

Sun Tzu Chinese...pre 2oth century ...Army Chief

Coffee Warlord 05-12-2009 02:30 PM

Not a bad pick.

Surtt 05-12-2009 02:30 PM

1.2 Julius Cesar, Leader/Ruler, Italy, pre-20th

Lathum 05-12-2009 02:32 PM

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

Noop 05-12-2009 02:33 PM

The second restriction is a kick in the nuts.

You bastard.

Lathum 05-12-2009 02:41 PM

Larry, can you edit the draft order into the first post?

thanks

Izulde 05-12-2009 02:50 PM

Loving the first pick. I do think Julius Caesar is a bit overrated, though.

Abe Sargent 05-12-2009 02:50 PM

1.3 Alexander the Great, Army Chief, Greece, pre-20th

Izulde 05-12-2009 02:50 PM

Love Alexander the Great. :D

Thanks

Noop 05-12-2009 02:52 PM

Nice pick Abe.

larrymcg421 05-12-2009 02:52 PM

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.

Abe Sargent 05-12-2009 02:54 PM

thanks larry

Coffee Warlord 05-12-2009 02:57 PM

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:)

Izulde 05-12-2009 03:07 PM

I just hope my top pick falls to me. :D

I'm not happy you pick before me here. :)

Galaril 05-12-2009 03:16 PM

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.

Galaril 05-12-2009 03:29 PM

next:)

Izulde 05-12-2009 03:32 PM

I PM'ed Barkeep to let him know it's his turn. :)

Noop 05-12-2009 03:38 PM

I feel like Barkeep is going to take my pick.

Abe Sargent 05-12-2009 03:38 PM

Heya BK

DaddyTorgo 05-12-2009 03:40 PM

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.

As soon as Barkeep makes his pick I will post mine then Izulde will do his I presume.

Coffee Warlord 05-12-2009 03:43 PM

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.

DaddyTorgo 05-12-2009 03:55 PM

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

Barkeep49 05-12-2009 03:56 PM

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.

Barkeep49 05-12-2009 03:56 PM

I apologize for the hold-up, but when I had looked last there weren't many sign-ups.

Coffee Warlord 05-12-2009 03:57 PM

And everyone's economic pick vanishes.

DaddyTorgo 05-12-2009 03:58 PM

oooh BK with the sneaky pick

Izulde 05-12-2009 04:00 PM

Brilliant pick BK. :)

Coffee Warlord 05-12-2009 04:00 PM

Don't you fuck me, Izulde and Noop. :P

Noop 05-12-2009 04:01 PM

Give me a sec

DaddyTorgo 05-12-2009 04:02 PM

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

Noop 05-12-2009 04:03 PM

1.5 -Oil Fields of Saudi Arabia, Geographical Location, Saudi Arabia Pre-20th Century

The war machine must have oil.

Izulde 05-12-2009 04:03 PM

Posting my top pick now. Let me write it up.

Coffee Warlord 05-12-2009 04:04 PM

...well. That was unexpected.

Noop 05-12-2009 04:06 PM

It's a risky pick. More then likely will cost me in the eyes of the voters.

Abe Sargent 05-12-2009 04:06 PM

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.

Izulde 05-12-2009 04:07 PM

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.

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.

Coffee Warlord 05-12-2009 04:11 PM

Damn, I had him in my list too. BUT...

Coffee Warlord 05-12-2009 04:14 PM

1.7 - Jesus Christ - Religious Leader - Israel - Pre-20th

Izulde 05-12-2009 04:16 PM

Jesus Christ! Okay, yeah that pun had to be made. :D

Great pick CW.
