The primary form of art in the world today is video (movies, tv, etc...). Hitchcock is considered one of if not the best and most influential in this form of art.

I read your justification then, I just don't agree that Hitchcock fits in a draft with only 12 artists from across all history. There were better 20th century artists and better USA artists and both to grab.

I'd say he was the best choice for 20th century/USA/film available. Probably top three internationally.

Well at the point i took galbraith there weren't really a lot of other economists left - Marx was gone, as was the UK. Frankly I wasn't about a "name recognition" pick or I would have gone Greenspan or I guess Friedman, but Galbraith was a much more "cerebral" pick.
Don't worry - I'll provide summaries of all my picks for the voters.

Just remember I have the internet and oil. That pretty much makes me an economic giant as well as a military power. Also the decision to make peace was courtesy of King Solomon and King David.

You'll be needing to use that money and resources to purchase advanced technology and cultural improvements from the People's Republic of Coffee. Einstein's work doesn't come cheap, and your people will enjoy spiritual learning and culture courtesy of Christ and Shakespeare. |

There is no advance tech without Oil. Enjoy sending those messages on foot or horse. I am the Oil barron and I also control the information.

Anthony Fokker built advanced weapons of war with some lumber, a machine gun, and a few lengths of canvas. Imagine what he'll cook up with Einstein's ideas. Then comes Rommel and Morgan unleashing the whoop ass.

Yeah, you'll all have space programs and oil fields after I conquer your asses with Alexander the Great and Musahi Miyamoto. Miyamoto wrote one of the enduring military strategy works of all time, in addition to being a poet, artist, and the greatest warrior of all time.
Plus, just wait until you see my ruler/leader....

Actually, I don;t think Charlemagne was a bad choice for r/l. I just thought he was maybe a round too early, but not bad. I can;t criticize you too much.

One thing I've learned in this draft. It's REALLY hard to predict who/what people do and do not think of. There were several picks I thought I was totally safe stashing away, and several utterly obvious ones that I couldn't believe fell so deep. I actually agree he was prolly a round or 2 early, but I was getting a little punchy by round 4 with some of the picks. Last edited by Coffee Warlord : 05-20-2009 at 03:08 PM. |

There's a man-made structure I don't want to take but I feel almost compelled to take. And then one that I really want to take but I don't think would get as much love, although in the "Noop-style" it'd be much better as a piece of my nation.

Aristotle is 2400 years old, he has invented time travel, and has utilized the power of the sun and water to power our entire country at a rate 100x more efficient and powerful than what exists in the world today.
