it was 100% because of the religious aspect of things and not the racial though. he was concerned that they wouldn't be saved

Abe Sargent · 05-16-2009, 10:24 AM

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

DaddyTorgo · 05-16-2009, 10:31 AM

Abe Sargent · 05-16-2009, 10:33 AM

Damnd, Noop was actually here 30 minutes ago too.

Danny · 05-16-2009, 10:38 AM

Noop · 05-16-2009, 11:39 AM

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.

Abe Sargent · 05-16-2009, 11:40 AM

What country?

Abe Sargent · 05-16-2009, 11:46 AM

Huh, you know I never knew he was from Algeria until now.

Noop · 05-16-2009, 11:49 AM

Hmm I copied the wrong thing but I don't want anyone to cry foul.

Barkeep49 · 05-16-2009, 01:56 PM

8.9 Yi Sun-sin Naval Chief Korea Pre-20th

His ability to hold off the superior Japanese forces is legendary.

Abe Sargent · 05-16-2009, 02:00 PM

8.10 Sigmund Freud, Scientist, Austria, 20th

Surtt · 05-16-2009, 02:06 PM

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.

Abe Sargent · 05-16-2009, 02:25 PM

Yay, Apathetic Lurker is here!

Apathetic Lurker · 05-16-2009, 02:26 PM

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

I will admit that I didn't before the start of this draft. But as I did my research his name always came up, and often as the best. I feel to have the possible best pick in a category, at the end of the 8th round, is worth the tradeoff in the lack of name recognition.

Apathetic Lurker · 05-16-2009, 02:29 PM

oops..that was my old set...oh well. I wont moan too much

Yes, his name is often brought up as a asian comparison to Britain's Admiral Nelson so he sure is worthy of the pick.

Surtt · 05-16-2009, 02:43 PM

9.2 Panama Canal, Man made Structure, Panama, Post-20th

Abe Sargent · 05-16-2009, 02:46 PM

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.

Great pick, he is who I was targetting for that spot.

Coffee Warlord · 05-16-2009, 03:10 PM

If it gets to me, I'll be around later this evening.

Abe Sargent · 05-16-2009, 03:54 PM

BK was here but then he left.

Danny · 05-16-2009, 03:54 PM

Did you send him a PM?

Barkeep49 · 05-16-2009, 03:56 PM

Sorry. I thought we were moving away from me. Pick shortly.

Barkeep49 · 05-16-2009, 04:02 PM

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.

Who? the grand admiral of Paraguay's navy?

DaddyTorgo · 05-16-2009, 04:08 PM

Oh no...I've got a solid backup. Otherwise I would have taken Tirpitz earlier. Actually I have a couple solid backups.

You blocked another Ruler/Leader I had ready. Heh

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?

Noop · 05-16-2009, 04:54 PM

Andrew Carnegie built a library in New Zealand can I use that as a country instead? He does have a connection there...

Noop · 05-16-2009, 04:58 PM

I am heading out in about 30 mins so if I can get a quick reply...

Way life goes

larrymcg421 · 05-16-2009, 05:02 PM

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.

Abe Sargent · 05-16-2009, 05:02 PM

Off to dinner

Noop · 05-16-2009, 05:12 PM
