To kinda link on with Abe's picks per round I thought Iwould toss in my view as well.
Best Picks per round: Round 1: Izulde The Red Baron. A strong pick in perhaps the weekest category Round 2: Danny -Gandhi. There were several very solid picks here, this is slightly above a couple others Round 3:Coffee Warlord-Shakespeare. in a basically pre 20th century round snAagging the best writer was a good get here. Round 4:Izulde-Hammurabi. This went in a different direction than I expected and started several picks dealing with creating codes of law Round 5:surrt-Churchill. a very solid diplomat and a steal in this round. Round 6:Izulde --Gallileo another round with several close together at the top, where the one named eeked out a place over several other worthy contestants Round 7:DT -Metternich. A good pick in a round with a lot of average picks filling up categories. Round 8:Barkeep Yin sun-sin. This was a barely one again. I actually had another wrote down before I changed it. Round 9:Barkeep-Suliman. A great pick at a crowded position Round 10:Coffee Warlord: Dunant Perhaps this is because Ihad him pegged as who Iwanted, that Isaw this a a great grab in a quickly narrowing field of suspects Round 11:Abe: Michelangelo. I thought it was a brilliant pick at the time and after looking at others picked that round it still apears to be so. There are a couple of my picks I thought about putting in there. but it would have only been a couple. |
Slooooooooooowwwwwwww
|
Did anyone PM Barkeep?
|
He hasn;t logged on since 1:00 this afternoon
|
Is there a "You Took Too Long" rule?
|
this draft has been fun but I think there were 2 to many catergories
|
I wish the rule was you can pick two of the same category except different eras.
i.e. Leader: George Washington Pre 20th Ronald Reagen 20th Both American. |

I vote if he does not select by 900 am tomorrow he be passed and his pick go to the end of the round. |
I think we should just NFL Draft rule it. If it goes after a certain ;length of time, the draft goes on, but if you show back up, you can make your pick immediately.

I think if I were to run this on another board, I'd drop the two non-people categories and add one: thinker. That's it though. |
Quote:
Isn't it covered already by philosopher more or less? |
we didn't have a philosopher category
|
After starting the draft, I thought of thinker and explorer, but we had already gone too far to change it.
|
those would have been better than the non people categories Ithink.
|
I tried folding explorer into naval category, but I don't think that was a good pick. :/

Sorry you disagree. I thought of Locke but decided since it was for Civil rights and not philosopher I liked Mills better. It certainly does not appear to be that egregious of a choice IMHO. |
I have BK's profile up and I refresh it every couple of hours in its tab.
|
what categories does he have left? can we get in a couple picks while waiting for him that way?
|
I like Barkeep I think work has him swamped however we might need to go NFL on him and keep passing him until he arrives.
|
I agree, it's been 22 hours since he last checked in. NFL him, and when he comes back, he can immediately make picks, but in the meantime, the draft continues.
|
eh - i say give him 24 hours - has anyone IM'd him?
|
i just sent him an IM - he's only been idle 26 minutes there so let's give him one last shot hmm?
|
American Heartland - US 20th Century
Never has so much food been grown per acre. |
Sorry about my tardiness. I simply hadn't had time to check the board. Sorry again, hate to have slowed things down for so long.
|
This Noop now, or the other direction?
|
I think it is Abe
|
12.9 btw
|
12.10 The Nile, Geographical Location, Egypt, 20th
|
20th? I certainly thought of the Nile, but couldn't justify it as a 20th Century pick.
|
Even in this century, its impact in the culture of the area has been significant.
|
12.11 Justinian I, Justice Minister, Turkey, Pre-20
|
far better as pre-20th but still a good pick - coulda gone with the canal or the aswan high dam imho as better 20th c picks
|
Just wait until I cross breed my amazon rain forest species into a team of flawless insect/animal soldiers.

I had the second post in the thread, so I edited my sign up post to show the picks by category than Larry posted a couple pages back.
