No biggie i havent actually done any research yet. Im going to jeffrey winger it

[wade moore]

Oh, and the dice are killing us placing a West Coaster at 1.1 . No harm no foul, but bad dice rolls for sure.

[Grover]

Winging is the way I'm going

[Chief Rum]

Okay, coming up with my pick. Sorry for being on the West Coast, guys! lol

[Chief Rum]

1.1 Batman --Science/Gadgets, Comic Book (Bob Kane--artist, Bill Kane--writer)

[Chief Rum]

I edited to add the dashed line in my selection above to separate the character name/choice from the other info.

[larrymcg421]

From his list, hoopsguy selects:

1.2 - Superman, Protector, 20th Century (Jerry Siegel)

[Chief Rum]

It's amazing how difficult a choice this was. Not only am I not all that well-versed in the comic book superhero world (from which I figure a number of characters will be used in this draft), but just the wealth of characters and information was immense and very hard to navigate.

I had many considerations. Do I go with the most powerful character I can think of, thinking of team versus team conflict? Do I go with the most popular character I can think of, because in the end this draft will come down to a popularity contest? Do I go with the character who is the best choice in a scarce category, like drafting a C or a SS higher in a baseball draft? What category do I select if my choice applies to many?

I ended up going with the popularity option. Batman is generally considered the 2nd most popular comic book character of all time, from what I have found anyway. Combine with the coming movie in the very popular series by Nolan, I thought he was the best fit, going popular.

Batman is not even technically a superhero in that he has no innate superpowers. He is instead just a guy with a lot of money and intelligence and drive. Because of his knowledge of science and his heavy use of gadgetry, I am hopeful I am not stretching him too much by placing him in the Science/Gadgets section. I felt that would be a more difficult category to fill.

I could have put Batman in a number of different source categories, and went with Comic Book, for the reason that that is his original source and because I felt that for me it is a pretty limiting category, as I don't really read comic books. I realize for those that do, the Comic Book category will be a wealthy source material.

I don't know which between the artist and writer is most responsible for creating Batman so I have included both. As I have heard of neither (no doubt they are both well accomplished in the comic book realm, but of that I am ignorant), I wasn't too concerned about having them unavailable to me going forward.

[Chief Rum]

Good choice by hoops. Superman was the superhero generally placed at the top of the most popular lists, and only one I found consistently ahead of Batman.

[wade moore]

I think this was a pretty obvious 1/2 punch. Curious where it goes from here.

[Danny]

If would could get PM's when we are up that would be cool!

[Danny]

Wow, I feel like picking 3rd in the Odom / Durant year

[The Jackal]

I think you mean Oden. Odom is actually a useful player.

[The Jackal]

Have new hires at work today so there will be a couple of periods about an hour long where I can't check, but other than that I'll be here.

[Danny]

I have my pick, just deciding which category to place him / her under

[Danny]

1.3 Jesus of Nazareth, Leader, Pre 19th century (Real)

[The Jackal]

For clarification, can we only use a real person once, or unlimited?

[The Jackal]

Eh, I think I get it from the rules, so now that Danny has used a real person in leader, we can't use anymore real leaders.

[Grover]

Originally Posted by The Jackal

I think we can still use one, just not fitting those categories as Jesus would be a Creator.

[The Jackal]

Hmm, I'm still not super clear on it then. Sorry, work is distracting my brain.

[wade moore]

What he's saying is that now a real person can't be used by Danny at all and not by the rest of us in the leader category.

I think he slipped that second part in, I don't remember that being there before.

[The Jackal]

That makes sense to me.

What he's saying is that now a real person can't be used by Danny at all and not by the rest of us in the leader category.

I think he slipped that second part in, I don't remember that being there before.

Yes I did, I didnt read the rule that said to post creator

[Grover]

1.4 Spider-Man, Protector, 20th Century (Stan Lee)

[Danny]

Though obviously not everyone agrees on his creator, I'm going with real

[Danny]

Such inside the box thinking with picks 1, 2 and 4!

[TRO]

Batman was the clear 1. He beats Superman head to head, so it is a no contest really.

Oh, I thought about Jesus. I also thought about putting him in as Mythology/Folklore and creator as Anonymous, just to piss off the Bible thumper crowd.

But in the end, Jesus doesn't have all the cool toys Batman has.

Well, I meant that larry slid in the "creator can't be used in that category by anyone" bit fwiw. I could be wrong though.

I just wasn't going to do someone like Jesus - it comes up in every one of these drafts and is always polarizing.

I'll provide longer bios/rationale stuff around picks when I'm home tonight.

I'm sure it will be polarizing in the voting, but I plan to send some mass emails to local church groups with this site and voting instructions when it is time for that.

The creator limitation for drafter and category was in there from the beginning. I wanted to have some strategic limitations, but didn't want to completely cancel out too many people, so I decided against a creator being eliminated for the entire draft.

However, the creators are not limited by the subcategories. So for example Seigel is now eliminated for Protector, but not for 20th Century.

I can never participate in these drafts because I'm not even smart enough to understand the rules.

[Danny]

I wish Izulde was playing too. He always has a unique way of picking that makes things interesting.

I think it's a good rule fwiw, I just didn't notice it before (the 2nd part of it).
