Danny · 05-13-2009, 04:00 PM

I'm ready with my pick

ntndeacon · 05-13-2009, 04:01 PM

3.9-Theodore Roosevelt-Chief Diplomat-U.S.-20th century

Lathum · 05-13-2009, 04:01 PM

Coffee Warlord · 05-13-2009, 04:02 PM

....Damn.

Danny · 05-13-2009, 04:04 PM

3.10 Aristotle, Scientist - Pre 20th Century, Greece

He was the first scientist and pretty much everything that came after what based on his work or scientific principles.

Meh. I think there were better US choices. Kissinger, for example

I don't think so... a lot of math and science comes from the ancient Egyptians. Just saying...

ntndeacon · 05-13-2009, 04:09 PM

my reason for picking him was basically he stopped a war. The Russo Japanese war was stopped due to his diplomacy and earned him a Nobel Peace Prize in the midst.

I know. I didn't figure it was for his Big Stick diplomacy

not horrible. but there are a lot of good greek picks. Please remember to put in your country though. Some of our picks won;t be that obvious.

+1

I was debating between Bismarck and Kissinger.

Abe Sargent · 05-13-2009, 04:12 PM

I was going to take Kissinger if Marco Polo had been taken.

Lathum · 05-13-2009, 04:13 PM

I'm ready once Galaril goes.

God help him if he steals my pick

Lathum · 05-13-2009, 04:22 PM

so there's nothing worse then when you have a pick, and you are amazed it fell and there is one guy ahead of you and he takes forever.

Galaril · 05-13-2009, 04:23 PM

3.11 Ben Franklin, Scientist - America, Pre 20th Century

It can always be worse.
He could take it.

Abe Sargent · 05-13-2009, 04:23 PM

Yup, totally agree

Noop · 05-13-2009, 04:24 PM

I think Lathum's choice was taken.

Galaril · 05-13-2009, 04:25 PM

Lathum · 05-13-2009, 04:25 PM

I like the Ben Franklin pick but I would have put him as diplomat.

I think taking Einstein not as American was a mistake. It allowed a good scientist to hit the board from America, and this is the consequence.

Agreed. I was surprised he wasn't taken as American.

Izulde · 05-13-2009, 04:27 PM

I thought about JPJ, but I didn't know if he actually did anything or whether it was just the one fight.

Lathum · 05-13-2009, 04:27 PM

4.1-Army Chief- William Wallace- Scotland- Pre 20th century

I am sure you meant U.K Latham as Scotland is not a country.

Barkeep49 · 05-13-2009, 04:29 PM

I like Franklin as a scientist, but agree with those who suggest he makes a better diplomat.

Lathum · 05-13-2009, 04:30 PM

I thought there was some ruling about this last night that made it Scotland

Galaril · 05-13-2009, 04:31 PM

Like Karl Marx, I think he does double duty and is a good pick, especially with the American bias in the voters.

Barkeep49 · 05-13-2009, 04:31 PM

Frankly I considered Nimitz as my American Navy presence, being 20th century and all.

Abe Sargent · 05-13-2009, 04:32 PM

Okay Galaril - amaze us!

Abe Sargent · 05-13-2009, 04:33 PM

I fear we would have 10 or 12 founding fathers on the list and there was not that much talent there, but we revere them. Luckily, we've largely stayed away. I would've shot someone for taking Washington as their army chief, for example.

Galaril · 05-13-2009, 04:34 PM

One minute.

Abe Sargent · 05-13-2009, 04:35 PM

larry - do we have a ruling on Scotland for Wallace?

Galaril · 05-13-2009, 04:37 PM

4.2 John Stewart Mills, England, Civil Rights Leader/Father of Utilitarianism - Pre 20th Century

Abe Sargent · 05-13-2009, 04:38 PM

Damn Galaril, cockblocked my pick in round 4
