Busy weekend, it seems.

Maple Leafs · 10-13-2007, 08:03 PM

Apparently NTNDeacon has inside info about something big that's going to happen tomorrow.

Mustang · 10-13-2007, 09:52 PM

Probably should have covered who would be around on the weekend or if we should have suspended for the weekend.

Indeed I did. I knew it was my mother's birthday. So needless to say, I was a little more disposed to spend time with her.

Give me a second and I will pick something.

ntndeacon · 10-14-2007, 05:17 PM

7.3 September 8, 1900 The Galveston Hurricane (Natural Disaster)

Good pick.

Mustang · 10-15-2007, 09:26 AM

If the next pick isn't made by Noon CST, let's keep going. Try to make a pick every 2 hours.

If you aren't going to be on for awhile, please send a list.

Maple Leafs · 10-15-2007, 09:31 AM

July 28, 1976 - The Tangshan earthquake demolishes the city of one million, killing at least 240,000 in the deadliest disaster of the 20th century (Natural Disaster)

Maple Leafs · 10-15-2007, 12:24 PM

Bump for Radii.

Radii · 10-15-2007, 12:30 PM

crap sorry. Picking soon.

Radii · 10-15-2007, 01:10 PM

EDIT: Pick was invalid. Whoops.

Barkeep49 · 10-15-2007, 01:14 PM

Nice pick Radii. That's certainly a famous moment and I hadn't thought about influential speeches really.

Radii · 10-15-2007, 01:17 PM

Thanks. I hadn't really thought about it either. I was looking for some other categories(I didn't really want to use potluck this early) and kept coming up empty and ran across some speeches and decided to take a look in that direction.

path12 · 10-15-2007, 03:22 PM

April 9, 1865 -- Lee surrenders to Grant at Appomattox Courthouse. (military)

Mustang · 10-15-2007, 03:50 PM

If my calculations are right, only one person needs November. Until I get the master list of picks done by person, not sure who that is but, feel free to post your last round pick.

Mustang · 10-15-2007, 03:52 PM

Email sent to Buc

I was going to say this was a steal, but it appears that, despite being in the 7th round, it is only the third military pick. If you're going to go America-Centric, I don't think you can underestimate the importance of the American Civil War. The prior two picks were both World War II, although there are picks related to other wars (Ferdinand, for instance) that have been slipped into other categories. So, now, instead of a steal, it may be early. It's very hard to say at this point. I'm sure blackout months and dates have really started to play a role.

Buccaneer · 10-15-2007, 06:41 PM

I'm here, I was off-site all afternoon.

Yes, I had the three Civil War events in mind and all three were in April. As I said, any one of them would have been as good as the other.

Buccaneer · 10-15-2007, 06:44 PM

One more thing, can you update what we have picked in the first post? I'm forgeting what categories I have left.

Buccaneer · 10-15-2007, 06:54 PM

Military Event: September 17, 1862 - Battle of Antietam, single bloodiest day in American History

I had four other dates I wanted before this one in other categories, but blackout dates killed them all. Figured I'd better grab this one while it was still available.

Buccaneer · 10-15-2007, 08:24 PM

Yeah, I looked up Nixon's resignation, Mt St Helens and Yorktown. Nope.

larrymcg421 · 10-15-2007, 08:26 PM

I think you'd missed a couple military picks. I already picked Confederate forces firing on Fort Sumter.

Neon_Chaos · 10-15-2007, 11:48 PM

June 18th, Neon Chaos took it awhile ago(Battle of Waterloo), so the 18th and 19th should be off the board. I only checked the list of dates and didn't run through the picks first to make sure it was free before I posted.

larrymcg421 · 10-16-2007, 09:48 AM

Don't wanna really be a bitch this late in the draft, but that's...kinda grey area, if you ask me. Troy and the stories surrounding it aren't exactly what I'd call historical fact.

path12 · 10-16-2007, 10:44 AM

Who's up? I'm confused looking over the past few posts.

Front page

All events must be historical proven to have occured on the date you provide or the consensus must be that they occured on said date.

But, if people have a problem I'll repick. This is for fun
