FOFC Member Draft

[Franklinnoble]

I said "member"....

This is pretty self-explainatory. Just like picking teams for kickball in elementary school, we're going to have 10 people draft teams of other FOFC members.

The rules are:

1. First ten people to post their interest here do the drafting.
2. You don't have to draft yourself - it's assumed that you're on your own team already.
3. You can draft any FOFC member. Past or present.
4. Each pick will be rated at the end of every round. The criteria for rating picks will be determined later, and is open for some limited discussion - but I reserve the right to have the final say. I'm thinking we rate each pick on number of posts, overall recognition, community contribution, insightfulness, and publicity. More on these later...
5. There will be 4 rounds. That's 40 members - enough to include all the "f---ing elitists" and room for some fringe picks, but limited enough to "keep it real."
6. No trolling or whining, please. Have fun with it, but don't be a little b!tch.

[Noop]

I want to be drafted!!! I can confirm I will be drafted.

[rkmsuf]

I'm not drafting anyone else's member...no thanks...

[MacroGuru]

Count me in !!

[wig]

I want to draft!

Quick, someone register the name "Robotron"

[wig]

Dude needed 2 JOYSTICKS!

[Fritz]

this is another one of those bad ideas.

[wig]

I could get banned after this game. :)

[wig]

Actually, now that I think about it, I better not be in this draft.

:)

[korme]

I'm drafting!

[korme]

We could go 10 rounds or have say... 15-20 people.

40 members does not do enough justice to an FOFC draft.

[Franklinnoble]

Why not?

Anyhow... I'm declaring myself ineligible, so I can't draft, or be drafted.

[Samdari]

A warning: If not drafted, I am suing SkyDog for the damage it does to my psyche. I hear he carries around a really expensive cell phone.

[FargoFreez aka fof playa]

Anyone need/want an agent? Samdari? I'm a very good negotiator.

I promise to SHOW YOU THE..uggghhh....elitism.

[Coffee Warlord]

I want Afoci as my agent.

[FargoFreez aka fof playa]

I want Afoci as my agent.
No, you don't want that fucking prick. He can't even remember the names of the men you bang.

[tucker342]

[Suicane75]

I'm in, I don't see why everyone is so against this idea, we're all adults.

Fargo.... I'll hire you.... 25% of whatever I get good for you?

I hope to sign for at least 27 cents... so that gives you, roughly 7 cents. Cool?

[FargoFreez aka fof playa]

Just look at you! You're almost touching the rim! The rim for god's sake!!

http://www.zwire.com/local/z/zwire1132/zwire/images/mau.gif

With the way they pay a guy like Van Horn, just imagine how much the Knicks would pay for your services. I'd say 6 years, 70 million. And I'm not going any lower if this other league decides to pick you, the FOFC, or whatever it's called.

That's 17.5mil for me. Glad to be your agent, sir.

[The Afoci]

You all want Coffee. The man is a warlord and crazy as hell. Most people fight over land, oil, bithces and broads. But not this man, he is all about the coffee, the funny hate and trying to bring his second company down in about as many years. The man will bankrupt your team, but will provide you with numerous funny pictures and a story of women purchasing vibrators. Sadly no pictures because he will be too busy playing pocket pool with a chimp named barbara. Bushy tail.

I got nothing.

[Poli]

I am hiring The Afoci as my agent as well.

[GoldenEagle]

I have decided to skip college and declare myself elgible for the draft.

[Noop]

I am projected as a middle first round to early second pick. I hope I am picked as I will bring alot of misspelled words, bad grammar and work ethic.

[wig]

noop?

[The Afoci]

What can a man say about Ardent Enthusiast? Besides that he is in the Navy, was one time trapped on a boat with only men for what seemed like years... Now as much as that sounds like the story line to an upcoming gay porn film, it isn't. Well actually it may, but not one starring him. It would be unfair to everyone else I represent. Everyone knows you have to star in Donkey Porn and Midget Porn before moving up to Gay Porn. Even if you are in the Navy. Anywho, AE is a simple man from Bonne Terre. A man coming from a town which sounds like an injury one could recieve from gay porn should be drafted highly in this draft. As your draftee, he will forever be your slave. Rumor has it, this simple man was programmed by the government and is now some sort of electronics expert. He could probably build you a robot.

Here is five dollars.

[wig]

noop from the backside is poon.

:)

[The Afoci]

noop from the backside is poon.

:)

If I was his agent, Noop from the backside would be at least $50.

[The Afoci]

I am hiring The Afoci as my agent as well.

I need a new agent.

I didn't know this draft invovled females. I guess your stock will drop a bunch with decision skills like this...

;)

[Blade6119]

its going to kill my self-esteem if im not drafted...

[The Afoci]

its going to kill my self-esteem if im not drafted...

Sounds like you need a good agent...

[Blade6119]

what you got to offer me?

[The Afoci]

what you got to offer me?

Have you ever had dealings with a draft that involved yourself? I didn't think so. Now, if you are what I think you are, a midget donkey rider from the Southwest who has a huge desire for all foods containing kidney beans, I can do a bunch. Other than that, people seem to like me or mention me. Come to me and you will get publicity. Good or bad...

[Blade6119]

ill follow ardent into your partnership. Hopefully whoever runs this takes into account how active i am in other forums, as im not the big dog in general discussion in any form.

[Airhog]

I would like to draft some kids. I could always use some fresh blood for my deathsports.

[Coffee Warlord]

I'm very pleased with Afoci thus far as my agent. In fact, I've decided to up his percentage from .01% to .05%, and doubling his llama tribute. He's earned it.

[Airhog]

Since it would be a conflict of interest, I would like to represent you AE. Im here to tell you that anything less than sex with The Afoci, Subby, or Marmel is not an offer you should take.

[Coffee Warlord]

Ehm, I'm currently looking for different representation. :)

I am considering Coffee Warlord, WSUCougar, and Mizzourah. However, I will field any offers.

I offer you a guaranteed 1st overall pick.

[Blade6119]

uh-oh afoci...if he leaves, i might have to leave too...goota stick with my Missouri brothers...

[Airhog]

You mean to say I should take offers for sex?
Yes, but only from these three people. Anything less would be a travesty of men.

[Airhog]

You can't beat the ham-fisted cunt!

[The Afoci]

As long as I still have Coffee. And if AE and you both sign with Coffee, it is the same as signing with me. My reach in the dealings of FOFC Members is far reaching. The llamas CW gives you are the same llamas I give him. If you want the sloppy seconds on llamas be my guest...

[Blade6119]

im not signing with CW until i get a good feel...i dont want to fall under your trap afoci

[The Afoci]

I got Clarett. Right now, we aren't sure we are going to be in the FOFC draft. We are considering trying the Hot Chick thing first, followed by video game character. I believe that he was a severely undervalued player in NCAA 2004 and should have been drafted already. Hopefully signing with me will let bring that to be.

[Airhog]

Sign with me, the gay agent!

[The Afoci]

im not signing with CW until i get a good feel...i dont want to fall under your trap afoci

You may get a feel, but good feels don't come free. I guess if you had a good agent, you would know that.

[Coffee Warlord]

Attention potential drafters.

As AE's new agent, I must say, pick AE, or I shall come to your house, set you on fire, have sex with your wife, eat your dog, steal your beer, and smoke your cigarettes

[The Afoci]

Attention potential drafters.

As AE's new agent, I must say, pick AE, or I shall come to your house, set you on fire, have sex with your wife, eat your dog, steal your beer, and smoke your cigarettes

This is the exact reason to draft CW first. The man is dedicated. You also don't wish to anger me. I know have connections in the animal kingdom.

[Franklinnoble]

I have no idea who's actually drafting here... not that it seems to matter.

[Coffee Warlord]

This is the buildup to the grand event, man! This is FAR more important than the actual draft.

[Noop]

Wow The Afoci is....gay I'm only worth 50 from the back? *Tightens his booty* *Runs away from this thread*

[The Afoci]

Wow The Afoci is....gay I'm only worth 50 from the back? *Tightens his booty* *Runs away from this thread*

I am not gay. Well not that gay, but this isn't about me. I was just trying to get you paid for the acts you would be doing for free with a different agent.

[Noop]

I refute that statement you just made! I am not a homo I believe I should sue for slander (but I settle for getting picked in the first round:))

[The Afoci]

I refute that statement you just made! I am not a homo I believe I should sue for slander (but I settle for getting picked in the first round:))

That is a good angle. We will get you drafted really high if we stick together in a completely nonsexual way...

[cincyreds]

I will holdout if I am drafted.

[Blade]

Doubt I will get drafted...they never send scouts up here to Canada...

:D

[Coffee Warlord]

That is a good angle. We will get you drafted really high if we stick together in a completely nonsexual way...

Better make sure he isn't drafted ahead of me. I'm a golden god.

[MikeVic]

Umm.. so is this draft taking place or not? :D

[Poli]

Attention potential drafters.

As AE's new agent, I must say, pick AE, or I shall come to your house, set you on fire, have sex with your wife, eat your dog, steal your beer, and smoke your cigarettes

Not necessarily in that order, either.

I'm a great walk on QB. Look at my stats. I'm clearly worthy.

[Franklinnoble]

Umm.. so is this draft taking place or not? :D

I need ten people to draft teams. Therefore, the next ten people who post a single reply to this thread that reads "Dean Houston has a trout in his rectum." will be the franchise owners doing the drafting. I'll then randomly assign the draft order, and the agents can pimp their clients until the draft actually starts.

[Poli]

If there is a double reply, does that disqualify you?

[Franklinnoble]

If there is a double reply, does that disqualify you?

No, but obviously, you can only have one franchise. As I said earlier, by owning a franchise, you're automatically a member of it. This takes some of the fun out of being drafted, but I think that's a reasonable sacrifice to make in order to be one of the guys doing the drafting.

[The Afoci]

Better make sure he isn't drafted ahead of me. I'm a golden god.

You are my best client...

It is not the size of your member it is the way you wiggle it.

[The_herd]

I also wouldn't feel comfortable with an agent, especially Afoci, handling my "member".

[Poli]

Ahem, where's my profile, CW?

[John Galt]

Worst . . . Draft . . . Ever.

It is nice to see your new agent helping you out. You can come back begging anytime...

I bet that will change if I can get you drafted in the top 10. Just a small fee...

[John Galt]

I'm hear to announce that The Afoci is my agent.

Of course, there will never actually be a draft, but he is my agent.

[GoldenEagle]

GoldenEagle should be drafted in the first round and get a huge contract. GoldenEagle only talks the top agents. GoldenEagle is so damn good, GoldenEagle thinks that GolenEagle should get a huge singing bonus. GoldenEagle thinks everyone should know how much pressure comes with refering to GoldenEagle in third person.

[korme]

I select The Afoci with the first pick, first overall, because he is all that is great.

Oh yeah, I just started the draft. I couldn't wait any longer.

[The Afoci]

This is the kind of stuff first round picks are made of. As Shorty's self-appointed agent, I promise this will not be a wasted pick.

[Franklinnoble]

Worst . . . Draft . . . Ever.

:)

Nothing was ever made better by cheap shots from the peanut gallery.

It seems the fundamental problem is that everyone wants to be drafted, and nobody wants to do the drafting.

[Noop]

Shorty how can u pass on me?

[korme]

Noop your stock has dropped, your 100 word keyboard dash has gotten slower in the past workouts, and no one backspaces better than The Afoci.

[The Afoci]

Noop, sadly your skills have diminished after your paper rock scissors battle with Glengoyne. I learned backspacing on the mean streets of Fargo. Nothing you could do there.

[Noop]

Dang it Shorty I had a hurt finger!! Come man my last few posted before the injury have been great I have shown flashes of the old Noop. Oh well I guess I have to hope for a good free agent deal since no one else is going to draft me. Fuck Glengoyne!!!! The beef is not dead motherfucker.

[Coffee Warlord]

Ahem, where's my profile, CW?

You need no profile. You're That Damn Good.

[Noop]

Can I get a profile? And I mean non racial please....

I heard italics and bold text increase the risk of injury.

Can I be your agent?

[Noop]

Can I be your agent?
Hmm what is it that you offer?

[The_herd]

I'm considering having Master P represent me. If not, I hear Snoop Dogg is interested in being an agent. I will not consider Scott Boras though, I would rather be on this forum than holding out waiting for a better offer from some place like the .400 or OOTP fourms.

Sorry Afoci, I need name power, although I must say your list of clients is impressive, so I may be interested soon. I just need to weigh my options.

[The Afoci]

Hmm what is it that you offer?

I can give you a nonracial profile. I will do all the behind the scenes negotiations to ensure you are picked in the ideal spot for you. I will handle all scandals that may arise around you and would even be willing to help you out with grammar. ;)

And most importantly,

I got nothing.

Yes. Then place your cars keys in my hand along with the deed to your house. Transaction complete.

[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

Welcome to the team.

Coming soon, the benifits of selecting from Team The Afoci.

[John Galt]

Welcome to the team.

Coming soon, the benifits of selecting from Team The Afoci.

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.

[The Afoci]

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.

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]

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

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

[The Afoci]

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

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.

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

[Coffee Warlord]

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?

[Franklinnoble]

Oh ho. It's on now.

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

[Franklinnoble]

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

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

[Coffee Warlord]

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

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.

[Franklinnoble]

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!


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]

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

[Kodos]

With the fourth overall pick, Airhog selects:

Kodos

Number of posts: Over 4,100. Half of them polls, but that's all good. 8

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

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

I have clearly been undervalued here.

[corbes]

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

I have clearly been undervalued here.

I don't know nothin' about instellar travel, but I am an interstellar ace.

[SplitPersonality1]

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... :)

[Noop]

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. :)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?

[Fonzie]

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

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

;)

That would be so sweet...

My man fonzie! That was a great one!

[SirFozzie]

Is this where I say "Fucking Elitists!!!"?

Just checking...

[Franklinnoble]

Is this where I say "Fucking Elitists!!!"?

Just checking...

Sure... but you're hurting your chances of being an early round draft pick by popping off like some sort of locker room cancer.

[korme]

With the 2nd pick of Shorty3281, 1st round, 6th overall:

mckerney

No one is such an inconsiderate, sarcastic bastard like ole' kerney is. Welcome aboard.

[Poli]

Ah heck, let's just make it Round 2. We'll never find 10 teams. :)

My 2nd round choice is punkin. Who just registered today. Happy birthday, Punkin!

[Blade6119]

hey ardent...your out of order with the draft...shorty just went and now is jeeber, the airhog, me, you, and whoever went first

[Poli]

Hey Blade, Shorty went first, picking The Afoci. Since he went first, and now has since went again, I figure, forget the snake draft, let's just keep moving. What the hay, it's not like we're moving in some organized manner.

I'm disappointed, you should know Shorty went first. :)

[Airhog]

Pick number 8 of the draft, 3rd pick of the second round. I select

Drumroll please.....

Marmel

Anyone that sounds like a spread for toast is a sure thing. We should really be able to kick some ass with a pick like this.

[Poli]

Ok, Airhogger, I know you picked fourth in the 1st. It is theoretically, his turn. Unless, of course, the two of you had similar records during the regular season. If that's the case, this makes perfect sense.

[JeeberD]

Dammit! I wanted Marmel... :(

[General Mike]

I think I need an agent :(

[illinifan999]

Illinifan is dissapointed he hasn't been picked yet. Illnifan knows he can bring it in the league. Illinifan believes that the teams are out to get him. He believes they are too amazed at his skills. Illinifan aslo believes that even though he might be short he could take anyone. Illinifan will not be a cancer like the other picks. Illinifan will be a star unlike the other picks. Illinifan says he should be picked.

[The_herd]

2nd round and I haven't been picked yet....I'm already looking at Clinton Portis money, at best. I can't live on that...I have mouths to feed people!

[Blade6119]

im soo lost as to the order...am i up?

[Poli]

You wouldn't have drafted Marmel, anyway. :)

[Noop]

*Is waiting in the green room*

[Blade6119]

All right...i didnt want marmel, so ill let him keep him just because im feeling nice today. But for the record airhog, if you go behind my back in the draft again im going to have to crazy kung-fu like all over your ass!

With the third pick in the second round the Blade Bombers draft JeeberD....he is now the reigning post champion and the most annoying member ever with his crazy antics. And who doesnt remember the threadkiller thread that he practically took over and carried alone. It takes one hell of a poster to keper alive a thread about killing threads.

[Blade6119]

dola, he also has the best post average in FOFC!

[Pumpy Tudors]

I need to make myself draft eligible next year, as I think I'm going to fail Pokemon Training, and I'll probably be academically ineligible to play in the Solecismic 8 next quarter. :(

[JeeberD]

I thought that drafters couldn't be draftee's?

[Poli]

You can't. He has to draft someone else.

Dang you, Blade6119, get it together!

[Blade6119]

im a sorry and sad person...give me a minute...

[Poli]

I bet JeeberD is fumbling through his draft notes right now. :)

[JeeberD]

Oh, I've got my eye on a certain someone already... :)

[Poli]

Hands off, mister!

[JeeberD]

But I had herd that you sailor boys liked that sort of thing...

[Poli]

Only at sea, only at sea. When we're in port it's a different matter.

[Blade6119]

Alright...due to excessive restrictions by some up-tight other owners my team will re-pick.

With the second third pick in the second round, we pick Frogman. He is one of the top posters(top 10), and the top poster in the HT forum. He is the forum mod and arguably the most contributional member to the HT forum. He has mastered the art of excel spreadsheet, and has spread his knowledge to the rest of the community. He is also a brand new father, and our top foreign poster. Welcome to the team Frogman.

[Poli]

Draft selections so far:

Shorty3281: The Afoci, Mckerney

AE: terpkristin, punkin

Blade6119: Quiksand, Frogman

Airhog: Kodos, Marmel

JeeberD: SkyDog. Next pick.

[illinifan999]

Pfft, illinifan killed Blade in a hattrick match. He had to resort to using pressing in an attempt to beat illinifan. But illinifan came out with a victory as usual. Illinifan would also like to give The Afoci the choice of representin' illinifan. Illinifan will be a playa!

[Blade6119]

if im not mistaken dan, my star magnificient keeper was injured in the league match 3 days prior(and you still only won 2-1)...hence having to throw in my back-up solid...and my best midfielder was out of form. Give me three to four weeks for my keeper to get back and in form, and ill destroy you.

[Poli]

If it was the magnificent keeper you were missing, then you probably mean,

"I'll shut you out" rather than, "I'll destroy you." :)

[korme]

illinifan has been declared ineligble for the FOFC member draft for pledging an uncomprehensible allegiance to Illinois. As you all know, that is one of the worst BIG10 schools, and no one participating in the FOFC draft can be associated with said University.

[Poli]

Dang it. We'll need a rules verification to prove this. Wow.

Wow shorty...that was beautiful...brought a tear to my eye...Illinois is really the suckiest school ever built.

[illinifan999]

Illinifan would like to point out that Cincinnati is a school full of problem childs. It is a school filled with NCAA rules violations written all over it. Not only is it a crappy school, it has crappy players. And illinifan would like to point out that Mizzou is even worse. BELMONT?!

[JeeberD]

Hmmm, can't say I concur. UTEP's amazing head basketball coach was an assistant at Illinois when we hired him away. If it weren't for Billy G, the basketball program would surely still be floundering...

[korme]

AND THE TWISTS CONTINUE!

MWAHAH!

[Blade6119]

UTEP has a basketball program?;) Dont hate me Jeeber!

[JeeberD]

With the final pick in the second round of the FOFC Member Draft, Team JeeberD selects...

Fritz

'Nuff said.

[JeeberD]

BADMINTON!!!!!!!

[korme]

With the first pick in the 3rd round, 15th overall, Team Shorty selects:

Maple Leafs. His boyish good looks and charm make him a steal in the 3rd round. Tremendous upside.

[Poli]

Draft selections so far:

Shorty3281: The Afoci, Mckerney, Maple Leaf

AE: terpkristin, punkin, my pick.

Blade6119: Quiksand, Frogman

Blade6119: Quiksand, Frogman, next pick.

Airhog: Kodos, Marmel

JeeberD: SkyDog, Fritz.

[korme]

Maple Leafs is plural.

[korme]

He represents all Leafs in the world.

[JeeberD]

All maple leafs, maybe...

[Poli]

I thought he was single, I mean, cingular. I mean singular, or some junk.

[Poli]

Corrected draft selections so far:

Shorty3281: The Afoci, Mckerney, Maple Leafs

AE: terpkristin, punkin, Hulsey.

Blade6119: Quiksand, Frogman, next pick.

Airhog: Kodos, Marmel

JeeberD: SkyDog, Fritz.

[Poli]

We'll probably be done here for a while, after Blade6119 picks here, since Airhog is missing. Ah, it was fun while it lasted. :)

[Blade6119]

With the third pick in the third round, I draft Illinifan. This pick fills a need on thw squad. He will be expected to immediately step in to the crucial role of team bitch. Since i am his new owner, he must now become a Mizzou fan and accept the fact his team blows. He must also allow me to kill him repeatedly in AA and tell everyone at BDK how bad he is. Thank you for your patience

[JeeberD]

Airhog! Where hast thou gone?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

[Poli]

JeeberD: SkyDog, Fritz.


Thus, a new age is born. The Afoci had a client drafted.

[JeeberD]

Huzzah!

[Poli]

He, uh, disappeared, or something.

[Airhog]

sorry for the delay here folks...let me see with my third pick I must choose.....

this is really a tough choice, but I think im going to go with...

SUBBY

Every team needs a gay man or in our case several gay men.

[Blade6119]

Jeeber!

[Airhog]

I guess I will hang around a few minutes and see if it makes it back around to me.

[Poli]

It should, it seems we're all here.

[JeeberD]

With the last pick of round three, Team JeeberD selects...

Chief Rum

If you don't like the pick, I'll sick him on ya and have him drown you in words...

[illinifan999]

With the third pick in the third round, I draft Illinifan. This pick fills a need on thw squad. He will be expected to immediately step in to the crucial role of team bitch. Since i am his new owner, he must now become a Mizzou fan and accept the fact his team blows. He must also allow me to kill him repeatedly in AA and tell everyone at BDK how bad he is. Thank you for your patience
Illinifan is going to hold out until his contrat is upgraded from team bitch to team bitche(s). Thank you.

[korme]

With the the 4th 1st pick of a round I have in which this is the 4th round, I select at 16th overall, 4th overall on my team and certainly not 4th overall in spirit, MattJones4Heisman.

No other man has made me coin a real man's name (Matt Jones) into a username that no one knows about except us at FOFC.

Me, for example: Dude, Matt Jones For Heisman is a pimp.
Friends: Huh?
Me: Uhh yeah, I think he might win the Heisman.

[John Galt]

Where's The Afoci - he promised me top ten and it is the 4th round!?!?! Worst . . . agent . . . ever.

[Poli]

Yes, indeed you are sucking. Truth is, The Afoci has yet to call me, IM me, or PM me to try and pimp any of his, well, "members".

[mckerney]

Welcome to the team, ardentrules. This FOFC member, I might add, is not me. :)

Shorty already drafted me (thank you by the way, it's quite an honor to join you and The Afoci so early). Though if we're drafting each multiple account seperately I'm pretty sure every owner can draft me. Anyone seen Calzone around?

[Easy Mac]

I would like to draft my member.

[mckerney]

Crapt. The truth comes out. It was you?? I guess I'm still up. *scampers away to draft someone else*

Sends Coffee Warlord to curse mckerney for this situation.

Current draft selections:

Shorty3281: The Afoci, Mckerney, Maple Leafs, MattJones4Heisman,

AE: terpkristin, punkin, Hulsey. next pick.

Blade6119: Quiksand, Frogman, illinifan999.

Airhog: Kodos, Marmel, Subby.

JeeberD: SkyDog, Fritz, Chief Rum.


You could've still drafted me... :(

[Poli]

*Looks for rule book. Doesn't find one.*

Fine, ardentrules, it is!

Current draft selections:

Shorty3281: The Afoci, Mckerney, Maple Leafs, MattJones4Heisman,

Airhog: Kodos, Marmel, Subby.

JeeberD: SkyDog, Fritz, Chief Rum.

[Chief Rum]

I think ardententhusiast must think this is a high-low game.

Thanks for drafting me, Jeeber. What does that get me anyway? :)

CR

[Blade6119]

With my next pick, i take Shorty. I hereby have completed the coolness trifecta(me, illini, and shorty), and will now rule the world with our amazing U-20 powers!

[The_herd]

With my next pick, i take Shorty. I hereby have completed the coolness trifecta(me, illini, and shorty), and will now rule the world with our amazing U-20 powers!

Ummm, can't pick him either. :(

[JeeberD]

Good lord son! How many times do we have to tell you that YOU CAN'T DRAFT DRAFTERS!

You, AE, Shorty, Airhog, and myself (and maybe Franklin also) are all OFF LIMITS.

[Blade6119]

hmmm...i dont seem to grasp that concept...

[Blade6119]

I now pick Ardent Entusiast! He is my Missouri brother and also a navy pansie boy. I win again!

[Blade6119]

dola, i will actually pick WSU Cougar. he is the game master here at FOFC, and also a solid leader. He has set-up many things here at FOFC, and also has helped many members. He is also a Pac-10 fan, but i think i can forgive him.

[Silver Owl]

The dark horse of the draft needs an agent. I need someone to get me a fair deal, not the last dollar.

My stats:

1) First ever winner of Sab's Playoff Pick 'Em Game (thats gotta count for something)

2) Run a 4.5 - 40 (should 4 1/2 minutes be 4.5 or 4.30? )

3) 300 lb bench press (30 lbs 10 times)

4) <100 posts - ok that just means that i'm not a troublemaker. I learn, not teach.

5) I can help a team with my wisdom, hence the name Silver Owl.

Any qualified agents may respond,
Thank you.

[Airhog]

hmm there are still plenty of great members out there, not to be confused with those of you that have a great member.

I am surprised this person wasnt drafted earlier. He is arguably one of the greatest posters to ever grace this board with his presence. Very few people have left their mark upon this board moreso then this man or child. With the 19th pick overall, and the 3rd pick in the 4th round, I give you none other then the one, the only, the great legend...


Hornsmaniac

His is cocky enough to be a legend on the field, and funny enough to be a legend off.

[Airhog]

I can only hope that we draft more then the original 4 rounds. The idea was to have 40 picks, since their is 5 of us picking, I hope we can do 10 rounds now.

[Franklinnoble]

Yeah, I think ten rounds would be fun. Not sure I can really keep up with rating all these picks, though. I say we just draft away, and then I'll post a poll when it's done that people can vote on.

[JeeberD]

I think Airhog should be automatically disqualified for his last pick. Good god...

With the final pick in the fourth round, Team JeeberD selects...

bbor

Every team need a fucking loony Canadian. He was my Threadkiller buddy, he's a huge Taco Bell fan, plus I understand that he actually contributes to both HT and hockey threads (not that I actually read either of those things)...

[JeeberD]

Yeah, I think ten rounds would be fun. Not sure I can really keep up with rating all these picks, though. I say we just draft away, and then I'll post a poll when it's done that people can vote on.


NO! You must post rating of all the picks, dammit!!!

[korme]

To fill out our starting lineup, Team Shorts selects Neuqua, the fine young man from Parts Unknown.

He smells pretty.

[Poli]

With the 2nd pick of the 5th round, I draft: HerRealName.

[TargetPractice6]

I see how it is, AE.

[Poli]

I second the motion. I want ratings on ALL picks, dang it!

[JeeberD]

How much you wanna bet that HerRealName is also mckerney...

[Poli]

I see how it is, AE.


This is fun. Now if there were just more people on the board that I knew in real life, this would be even better!

[Franklinnoble]

NO! You must post rating of all the picks, dammit!!!

Eh, go have another drink and shag a steer, you whiny Texan...
;)

[Poli]

How much you wanna bet that HerRealName is also mckerney...

I promise to attempt to die laughing if it's true. I hadn't thought about it. :)

[Poli]

Eh, go have another drink and shag a steer, you whiny Texan...
;)

Note to self: Don't tell Franklinenoble where I was born.

[Blade6119]

Well, just so he shuts the hell up ill take Target Practice 6...he is the current U-20 coach for team USA in HT(i know a really good 17 year old defender...PM me;) ) He is also an annoying Kentucky boy(Kentucky, Keeping it in the family for 100 years). Hopefully he will now buy all my players(i got a magnificient keeper...you know you want him), and proceed to make me the next U-20 coach!

[mckerney]

NO! You must post rating of all the picks, dammit!!!

Best draft so far is a toss up between Shorty and Ardent, though there's still a chance for the rest of you to pick one of me.

[wade moore]

hmmm... i know i'm in trouble to be picked when i haven't posted in almost a year, lost 2,000 posts, and the person running this i've never even heard of! ;)

[Airhog]

Pick number 5 for me, and pick number 22 in the draft. Quite a few egos have yet to be stroked. And I have no intention of stroking The Afoci's ego. I refuse to act like a golden llama. There are just so many juicy picks out there this is going to be a tough one. And I do have one of the most star studded teams out there.

This person needs no introduction, a man of class and great stature. He strove to play the devils advocate, which is quite fitting, given his status as a lawyer. Some people hate him, and some people really hate him. That is why we are very happy to select as our next pick...

John Galt

The man who's last name sounds like a medical condition. We hope he can do many things for our organization of secret ninja's
