FOFC Member Draft

[Franklinnoble]

Well, since we're still waiting for more team owners to start drafting, let's rate the #1 overall pick:

The Afoci

A bold selection to get the draft started. Here's how our panel of experts (that would be myself, a stapler, and a half eaten Baby Ruth candy bar) rate this pick:

Number of posts: Well over 3,600. Respectable, but not Kickstand-esque. We'll call this a 7
Overall recognition: He's visible enough to be known on most of the forums - even over in Hattrick. Definately a 9
Community contribution: He gets points for good humor and dynasty contributions, but this category is typically reserved for guys who do big things like moderate a forum or write utilites, etc. So, basically, he's got nothing. 4
Insightfulness: I'm sure animal lovers consider his work a must-read. This one's a 6
Publicity: I don't know about you, but I always want to read threads he's posting in. He's like one of those lunatics that runs around in the street wearing a lime green leotard while carrying on a conversation with a chinchilla wearing nylons; you can't help but look. 10

Overall Score: 36

I got nothing.

The fans love my grammar... there is nothing wrong with it. I wanted to be drafted number one, guess you missed that boat The Afoci(how do you pronouce that?) Increase the pot and we can talk.

Now you are speaking my language. I promise you the use of chipmonks in what could be considered group love...

A sack of herbs is on the way...

Should we be concerned that you are not only our agent, but also the first pick in this draft?

And should be worried that Shorty is the only official owner in this draft?

Just wondering.

[The Afoci]

Coffee Warlord is a complete poster on the board. When it comes to the FranklinNoble breakdown, CW should provide you with numerous points. At 2600 post, he is contributor that cannot be denied. The man is well known for his pic with a hat. His recognition is through the roof. Not only that, he has taken down two companies in as many years. Give or take. Not only that, at well over 7'6", 953 lbs with 3% body fat, this man runs the 40 in well under three seconds. But 40 feet really isn't that far...

Coming tomorrow or later tonight, the breakdown of Noop, The Herd and John Galt.

Think of the publicity I can bring being the first overall pick. That is all coming to you baby!

[Poli]

I shall declare myself ineligible for the remaining of the draft, and make the 2nd selection (assuming there will 10 "owners", this may take a while) of the Member draft.

I select terpkristin, better known as TK in the HT forum.

I would have went with the Warlord, however, there are 2 issues:

1. The Afoci is his agent.

2. TK is a female. CW is not.

[Blade6119]

If i take over an owner spot, can i still get drafted?

[Poli]

No, you are either an owner or draftee.

[Blade6119]

Ah well...i better pick before they are all gone...

With the third pick in the draft, i will select:

Quicksand...the man is a legend around here and #1 poster(though half his got deleted)...he is a master of running games, and his posts are always helpful, insightful, or make a strong point. Who else will pick?

[Poli]

That's 3 out of the 10 teams.

[Franklinnoble]

And with the second overall pick of the draft, ardent enthusiast selects:

terpkristen

Terpkristen?!? Wow... I mean, wow. That's either a Wilt Chamberlain pick or a Doug Christie pick... Either he's trying to get some, or he already is, and he wants to keep getting it... or he's just being a nice guy and we can take that at face value. Anyhow, here's our expert analysis:

Number of posts: I dunno. Somebody look this up for me. I'm guessing we'll rate this a 4
Overall recognition: Practically unheard of outside the Hattrick forum. Sorry, but this has to be a 3
Community contribution: I'm assuming she must be making some contribution, at least to AE. 4
Insightfulness: She's solid when it comes to what she does post about. We'll call it a 9
Publicity: Ahh, the great equalizer. Let's face it, she's a woman, and all it would take is one bikini photo to make her very, very popular.10

Overall Score: 31

[Coffee Warlord]

What is this shit? I'm getting HATED! Afoci! Do SOMETHING!

[Franklinnoble]

With the third overall pick, Blade6119 selects:

QuikSand

Definately worthy of a top 3 pick, and maybe should have gone higher. Here's our rating:

Number of posts: Come on... he's lost more posts than most of us will ever make. 10
Overall recognition: He's everywhere, just about... although I don't think he does Hattrick. Do we hold that against him? Maybe just a little bit...9
Community contribution: Not only are his posts numerous, they're usually purposeful. And who doesn't like the puzzles? His strategic contributions to the FOF players here have been substantial. 9
Insightfulness: I've never seen him post anything stupid, and some of his stuff is genius. 9
Publicity: One of the respected elders of the board. 10

Overall Score: 47

It is overly obvious that this is a scheme against the greatness that is CW. Allow the haters and nonebelievers fill their squads full of pansies. We will bring the titles in.

[Franklinnoble]

I dunno... Mel Kiper's Hair says that CW has Ryan Leaf written all over him...

Oh ho. It's on now.

[Senator]

Publicity: One of the respected elders of the board.

Shouldn't this hurt him in this youth movement on FOFC?

I'm sorry... I meant to say Tony Mandarich... or was that Todd Marinovich? I can't remember exactly.

That's like saying you'd take Daunte Culpeper in an all-time draft over Joe Montana. You should know better.

[Coffee Warlord]

That's it. I didn't wish to do this, but you have forced me to unleash the most powerful of all CW Curses.

May you be mounted by a diseased yak!

[Poli]

I rule.

Even a diseased yak won't want anything to do with the rash I'm sporting right now.

[Airhog]

with the fourth pick of the first round, I have decided to choose......

Kodos

I think he will make a great addition to our team. You can't go wrong with an alien here, and we are certain he can shake and bake with all of those tentacles. Besides he can probably tackle someone from 3 feet away.

[korme]

Hmm. Can I pick again yet?

I see tremendous upside all over this place.

[korme]

I can't elaborate, but WSUCougar is in the Top Bestest Picks Of the Community board that I have and narrowed down to an uncountable number.

[Poli]

Calm down, Shorty. Ten teams. You have to wait. Convince 6 more people to choose someone. Or create 6 log ins.

[JeeberD]

Shoot, why not. With the fifth selection of the first round, team JeeberD selects SkyDog. Not only is he the beloved mod and underwear model, but he posts great Dynasties and contributes stratagy-wise to the forum. His only downside is that he's a Threadkiller Hater...

[Airhog]

jeeberD: you have the fifth pick, I had the fourth pick.

I think you made a mistake drafting skydog so early, he was a late first-rounder at best.

[Blade6119]

i dont think you are right...is say hes above Kodos, your pick...

[The Afoci]

John Galt---1500 post that are mostly logical. That excludes all Yankee posts... The mans humor is second to none, as he is one of the biggest Big Lebowski fans ever. Plus I heard he is a Nihilist.

The Herd---1600 posts and a Former North Dakotan. That is a very big positive. I am also fairly sure the man is in the military and has to ability to kill you if you don't pick him.

Noop--- This would be like adopting a grammatically challenge kid. He comes with a beef already, and some say he has a beefcake option. He is full of smiley's and at one time was consider bonafide. He's bonafide.

[Airhog]

is it just me or did you make no sense with that reply?


I think this just further hurts your chances of having a winning team

[Blade6119]

so far i have the highest rated team

[Franklinnoble]

With the fourth overall pick, Airhog selects:

Kodos

Not the pick I expected - we had him as a late first rounder.

Number of posts: Over 4,100. Half of them polls, but that's all good. 8
Overall recognition: Well known for his cameo appearances on a FOX sitcom.8
Community contribution: He's actually cut down on the number of polls he posts - that's a contribution to the community. 7
Insightfulness: You can't put a number on the value of an alien perspective, but we're doing it anyway. 7
Publicity: Another respected elder, but maybe for an alien, he's not that old. 9

Overall Score: 39

[Franklinnoble]

With the fifth overall pick, JeeberD selects:

SkyDog

We think that there must be some off-the-field problems that dropped SkyDog as far as number 5, because the early projection had him no lower than 3rd. Here's the rating:

Number of posts: Over 5,700 - but he could give himself as many as he likes. 9
Overall recognition: No contest. He's the H.N.I.C. 10
Community contribution: Again, no contest. 10
Insightfulness: Sorry, but you're losing points for being a thread-killer hater, and for killing the QOTM. 6
Publicity: He can throw you in the penalty box whenever he likes, and he looks good in a patriotic speedo. 10

Overall Score: 45

[Blade6119]

want to just go with 10 teams?

Everyone who has mastered instellar travel, please raise their hand.

I have clearly been undervalued here.

Best line in this thread. You need to put that in your sig somehow.

[Vince]

For the record, Quik does do Hattrick too. Chesapeake Cheapshots, to be exact. Just thought I'd chime in

[Qwikshot]

Pfffft!

I holdout.

[Kodos]

It would've been better if I had spelled "interstellar" correctly...

Your suppose to let them draft me before telling them of my grammar errors... your a bad agent. I am still a bonafide cornerback I have recieve the ok to start getting in shape for next season. The cast comes off in a few days I believe... So on pure potential I am worth a first round pick.... dont regret this chance of a lifetime folks....

Actually, I think I did give you too low of a score for community contribution. I had forgotten that you're the "Golden Scribes" boy. So, give yourself another point or two. Or whatever. It's not like these scores really mean anything, unless you're under the impression that we're all going to get together and play a modified rules version of Advanced Dungeons and Dragons with our FOFC draftees, in which case JeeberD's level 45 SkyDog might have a distinct advantage over Airhog's level 39 Kodos.

[Noble_Platypus]

Quicksand scored a 47. Does that make him the grand wizard and master of the flaming dagger?

It would seem AE reached on this one because he was "drafting to fill a need."

That would be so sweet...
