Barkeep49 · 06-08-2011, 10:39 PM

With that I believe DeTox is on the clock. As mentioned above if you can't be around please PM me a list of people who you'd like to draft and I will be happy to draft in your absence. I will also post any accompanying commentary should you wish.

DeToxRox · 06-08-2011, 11:03 PM

Okay, one second.

DeToxRox · 06-08-2011, 11:22 PM

Not gonna lie, still confused a bit by the rules so if this isn't correct please tell me. I figure after I see a few more picks I'll get it.

1.1 - George Costanza, Television character
Created by Larry David, Modern Day

Probably the best television character over the last twenty years. I am probably hurting myself going so current but fuck it. He's an icon.

Lathum · 06-08-2011, 11:25 PM

my understanding is no one can take another Larry David creation

DeToxRox · 06-08-2011, 11:27 PM

That's what I believe too.

I am already realizing how hard this is going to get.

Danny · 06-08-2011, 11:32 PM

1.2 Darth Vader, Villian
Cold War Creation

Danny · 06-08-2011, 11:33 PM

No more George Lucas

Lathum · 06-08-2011, 11:37 PM

Was going to take Vader

Lathum · 06-08-2011, 11:38 PM

1.3- Harry Potter

JK Rowling

Female Creator

Lathum · 06-08-2011, 11:40 PM

I doubt Wade is awake, looks like we will be stalled until morning

Danny · 06-08-2011, 11:41 PM

me too, but I am just as happy with Harry Potter. Easily the most iconic literary character of the last 50 years. And honestly, maybe ever.

DeToxRox · 06-08-2011, 11:45 PM

I've never seen a single Star Wars. Obviously I know about the films but I was pretty much plugged into taking Costanza from the beginning. Vader never crossed my mind.

CrimsonFox · 06-09-2011, 04:34 AM

Shia Lebeouf!

(Have fun guys, sorry I missed this as it looks fun but I'll come back to vote at the end.)

So much for taking the Soup Nazi as villain then.

I had to google the 1.1 pick...

Good guess there, I had been asleep for like 3 hours

.

I wasn't prepared to be ready first thing, didn't know we'd roll so fast.

Let me get settled in at work and then I'll make my pick.

Based on your PM I'm guessing you want him in the Child Character Type?

Lathum - this needs a character type:

Quote:

Movie Character
Literary Character
Television Character
Play/Musical/Operatic (Live Performance) Character
Comic/Animated Character
Computer/Video Game Character
Hero
Villain
Female Character
Child Character

spleen1015 · 06-09-2011, 07:15 AM

Harry Potter would have been my #1 pick. You can't get any better than that and you take care of the Female Creator category with huge character.

Barkeep49 · 06-09-2011, 07:24 AM

I think Darth Vader is a great pick and agree with spleen that Harry Potter's a wonderful character especially because do you get to finish out a tough character type.

As a huge Seinfeld fan I won't argue George, but wonder if he was the right 1.1

3ric · 06-09-2011, 07:47 AM

Agree with Barkeep, I think George was a reach at 1.1... Vader and HP would have been better choices there. Come to think of it, there is at least one more Star Wars character that would have been worthy.

Lathum · 06-09-2011, 08:03 AM

Yeah. Harry as a child

wade moore · 06-09-2011, 08:21 AM

1.4 - Superman - Comic/Animated Character - Multiple Person Creator [Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster]

Superman is THE original comic book super hero. Without him, we may not have comic book super heroes today. He transcends comics and is a worldwide superstar character across multiple mediums, but comics is where he was - born in Action Comics #1.

wade moore · 06-09-2011, 08:23 AM

Dola: Pretty excited because I would have taken Superman at 1.1

spleen1015 · 06-09-2011, 08:26 AM

1.5 - Robin Hood - Hero - Unknown/Anonymous Creator

This may be too early, but I think this Creator category is going to be a little tough later on, so I went this way now.

Barkeep49 · 06-09-2011, 08:28 AM

I think there are a lot of great characters out there hence my curiosity to see how a draft would turn out. I'll be curious to see how it plays out in later rounds. Already we've lost some iconic characters with the George Lucas characters off the board.

Hood was on my list of 3 that I was debating between at 1.4. I think he's a solid, solid pick.

wade moore · 06-09-2011, 08:35 AM

Barkeep: Did Mustang give you a list last night? I know he said he'd have to basically totally work from a list.

He did not.

Mustang · 06-09-2011, 08:39 AM

crap guys. I did not think we were starting this morning otherwise I would have a list..

Mustang · 06-09-2011, 08:46 AM

Sherlock Holmes - 19th Century - Literary

Hope I did that right

I'll cobble together something to send a list.

Just have to identify a creator, which I'm sure is Arthur Conan Doyle in this case. Sherlock seems like a clear 1st round pick.

A note to Mustang and others putting together a list:
I will accept simple conditional picks as opposed to simply a ranked list, if you desire.

Barkeep49 · 06-09-2011, 08:55 AM

Funny quote from Bill Simmons new website, Grantland.

Quote:

One thing sports have taught us is that almost anything can be improved by creating a scoring system and holding a draft. Try it. Assign point values and draft your coworkers before a meeting. Or family members before Thanksgiving dinner. I once participated in a celebrity DUI draft (Shia LaBeouf was a late-round steal).

wade moore · 06-09-2011, 09:01 AM

I was hoping Holmes would fall to 2.5, guess not.

Mustang · 06-09-2011, 09:02 AM

I have a short list sent to Barkeep.

Barkeep, I also sent you my work email so.. if you need to reach me you can.

spleen1015 · 06-09-2011, 09:04 AM

I figured Holmes would go pretty quickly. I didn't really target him for that reason.

wade moore · 06-09-2011, 09:05 AM

So far planning this draft has been one of my favorite so far - because I think the setup is very challenging.

Kudos to you barkeep, I think this is a GREAT setup.

Thanks. I felt from my experience in drafts that it's fun not only to come up with who to draft but also how to slot them and so I purposefully allowed for overlapping choices in both types as I think it adds a bit of drafting strategy.

larrymcg421 · 06-09-2011, 09:45 AM

Making my pick in a second...

larrymcg421 · 06-09-2011, 09:54 AM

1.7 Count Dracula (Creator: Bram Stoker) - Villain - 19th Century Creation

spleen1015 · 06-09-2011, 10:10 AM

I guess my hopes were too high for Dracula. He was doing to be my next pick.

Lathum · 06-09-2011, 10:36 AM

how long fo people have to make their picks and what hours are we sticking to?

Thoughts?

Lathum · 06-09-2011, 10:53 AM

I think 2 hours to make picks is reasonable. No reason not to submit a list if you know you will be away.

Hours I say 9-9 M-F EST. Just my 2 cents

spleen1015 · 06-09-2011, 10:56 AM

What happens if you don't pick within your time limit? This is only my 2nd one of these, so I don't remember how this was handled in the past.

You simply make your pick when you come back, but can't pick anyone who was picked in the interim.

Barkeep49 Coordinator Join Date: Jan 2001 Location: Not too far away	I think Darth Vader is a great pick and agree with spleen that Harry Potter's a wonderful character especially because do you get to finish out a tough character type. As a huge Seinfeld fan I won't argue George, but wonder if he was the right 1.1 Last edited by Barkeep49 : 06-09-2011 at 07:24 AM.

3ric College Starter Join Date: Dec 2000 Location: Sweden	Agree with Barkeep, I think George was a reach at 1.1... Vader and HP would have been better choices there. Come to think of it, there is at least one more Star Wars character that would have been worthy. __________________ San Diego Chargers (HFL) - Lappland Reindeers (WOOF) - Gothenburg Giants (IHOF) Indiana: A TCY VC - year 2044 - the longest running dynasty ever on FOFC!

As mentioned above if you can't be around please PM me a list of people who you'd like to draft and I will be happy to draft in your absence. I will also post any accompanying commentary should you wish.

DeToxRox Head Coach Join Date: Dec 2002 Location: Michigan	Not gonna lie, still confused a bit by the rules so if this isn't correct please tell me. I figure after I see a few more picks I'll get it. 1.1 - George Costanza, Television character Created by Larry David, Modern Day Probably the best television character over the last twenty years. I am probably hurting myself going so current but fuck it. He's an icon.

DeToxRox Head Coach Join Date: Dec 2002 Location: Michigan	I've never seen a single Star Wars. Obviously I know about the films but I was pretty much plugged into taking Costanza from the beginning. Vader never crossed my mind.

spleen1015 Coordinator Join Date: Sep 2003	Harry Potter would have been my #1 pick. You can't get any better than that and you take care of the Female Creator category with huge character.

06-09-2011, 08:03 AM	#26
Lathum Favored Bitch #1 Join Date: Dec 2001 Location: homeless in NJ	Yeah. Harry as a child

spleen1015 Coordinator Join Date: Sep 2003	1.5 - Robin Hood - Hero - Unknown/Anonymous Creator This may be too early, but I think this Creator category is going to be a little tough later on, so I went this way now.

Lathum Favored Bitch #1 Join Date: Dec 2001 Location: homeless in NJ	how long fo people have to make their picks and what hours are we sticking to?

06-09-2011, 10:53 AM	#48
Lathum Favored Bitch #1 Join Date: Dec 2001 Location: homeless in NJ	I think 2 hours to make picks is reasonable. No reason not to submit a list if you know you will be away. Hours I say 9-9 M-F EST. Just my 2 cents

06-09-2011, 10:56 AM	#49
spleen1015 Coordinator Join Date: Sep 2003	What happens if you don't pick within your time limit? This is only my 2nd one of these, so I don't remember how this was handled in the past.
