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 7T -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. |

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 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.

After starting the draft, I thought of thinker and explorer, but we had already gone too far to change it.

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 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.

20th? I certainly thought of the Nile, but couldn't justify it as a 20th Century pick.
