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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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?

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

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.
