check your in-box

Apathetic Lurker · 05-12-2009, 02:29 PM

Sun Tzu Chinese...pre 2oth century ...Army Chief

Coffee Warlord · 05-12-2009, 02:30 PM

Not a bad pick.

Surtt · 05-12-2009, 02:30 PM

1.2 Julius Cesar, Leader/Ruler, Italy, pre-20th

Lathum · 05-12-2009, 02:32 PM

just a heads up you guys should bold your picks with round and number, makes it easier to follow and know when you are up.

so for example

1.1-Sun Tzu Chinese...pre 2oth century ...Army Chief

1.2-Julius Cesar, Leader/Ruler, Italy, pre-20th

Noop · 05-12-2009, 02:33 PM

The second restriction is a kick in the nuts.

Larry, can you edit the draft order into the first post?

thanks

Izulde · 05-12-2009, 02:50 PM

Loving the first pick. I do think Julius Caesar is a bit overrated, though.

Abe Sargent · 05-12-2009, 02:50 PM

1.3 Alexander the Great, Army Chief, Greece, pre-20th

Izulde · 05-12-2009, 02:50 PM

Love Alexander the Great.

Nice pick Abe.

larrymcg421 · 05-12-2009, 02:52 PM

Added picks (and draft order) in the first post. I'll also add a breakdown by category so people will know what countries have been picked in each one.

Abe Sargent · 05-12-2009, 02:54 PM

thanks larry

Coffee Warlord · 05-12-2009, 02:57 PM

Truly a great pick. I was just watching a special on the History Channel all about his philosophy. Enjoy paying that number 1 pick guaranteed money

Izulde · 05-12-2009, 03:07 PM

I just hope my top pick falls to me.

I'm not happy you pick before me here.

Galaril · 05-12-2009, 03:16 PM

It is interesting seeing which people choose military leaders first and or as there rulers as opposed to those who choose non-military leaders first or as their leaders.

Galaril · 05-12-2009, 03:29 PM

Izulde · 05-12-2009, 03:32 PM

I PM'ed Barkeep to let him know it's his turn.

Noop · 05-12-2009, 03:38 PM

I feel like Barkeep is going to take my pick.

Abe Sargent · 05-12-2009, 03:38 PM

Heya BK

DaddyTorgo · 05-12-2009, 03:40 PM

I presume we won't make it to 1.8 before I get home and have a chance to get online in like 2 hours.

As soon as Barkeep makes his pick I will post mine then Izulde will do his I presume.

Coffee Warlord · 05-12-2009, 03:43 PM

I'm betting my pick is going to fall to Izulde, who is waiting for the same thing I am.

It's always nice to send in a list just in case. Sometimes a potential run can be missed by someone being gone for 45 minutes. If you know your top 2 or 3 for sure, no harm in sending it to larry. If you really need to see what other people pick, then I guess it's harder to justify.

DaddyTorgo · 05-12-2009, 03:55 PM

i have no idea what i'm going to pick yet. i haven't even started to think about making a list of my top overall, let alone by category - i just said i was in earlier today...didn't know that we were going to get things going in the middle of the day

Barkeep49 · 05-12-2009, 03:56 PM

Adam Smith Economist Great Britain Pre-20th

Your average person could name 3 economists, if they're lucky. Odds are Adam Smith, who kind of defined the academic theory of the field, would be one of them.

Barkeep49 · 05-12-2009, 03:56 PM

I apologize for the hold-up, but when I had looked last there weren't many sign-ups.

Coffee Warlord · 05-12-2009, 03:57 PM

And everyone's economic pick vanishes.

DaddyTorgo · 05-12-2009, 03:58 PM

oooh BK with the sneaky pick

Izulde · 05-12-2009, 04:00 PM

Brilliant pick BK.

Coffee Warlord · 05-12-2009, 04:00 PM

Don't you fuck me, Izulde and Noop. :P

Noop · 05-12-2009, 04:01 PM

Give me a sec

DaddyTorgo · 05-12-2009, 04:02 PM

ok - i just sent my top-pick to larry (well top pick and then a backup). if they're BOTH gone then you'll just have to wait

Noop · 05-12-2009, 04:03 PM

1.5 -Oil Fields of Saudi Arabia, Geographical Location, Saudi Arabia Pre-20th Century

The war machine must have oil.

Izulde · 05-12-2009, 04:03 PM

Posting my top pick now. Let me write it up.

Coffee Warlord · 05-12-2009, 04:04 PM

...well. That was unexpected.

Noop · 05-12-2009, 04:06 PM

It's a risky pick. More then likely will cost me in the eyes of the voters.

Abe Sargent · 05-12-2009, 04:06 PM

I was actually thinking of drafting a Pirate themed nation with Henry Morgan and the Sargasso Sea and Blackbeard and such. It would have been funny, but porbably not in the spirit of the draft.

Izulde · 05-12-2009, 04:07 PM

1.6 Manfred "The Red Baron" von Richthofen - Air Marshal - Germany - 20th Century

Is there any greater or more well-known fighter pilot in the history of the world than The Red Baron? Certainly the best in World War I, with a confirmed 80 victories during the campaign and he showed leadership ability by commanding the famous Flying Circus. So masterful an air warrior, he was even highly respected and admired by the opposing Allies.

You know what I had him as a pick but I figured I was safe with that until the third round at least because leaders were in vogue. Good pick.

Coffee Warlord · 05-12-2009, 04:11 PM

Damn, I had him in my list too. BUT...

Coffee Warlord · 05-12-2009, 04:14 PM

1.7 - Jesus Christ - Religious Leader - Israel - Pre-20th

Izulde · 05-12-2009, 04:16 PM

Jesus Christ! Okay, yeah that pun had to be made.

Great pick CW.
