Deadly Animal Draft (2 Viewers)

im back, so ill make my pick soon. nice pick with the blue whale. i was hoping he would slip due to its lack of killing power. quite frankly, im not sure what can kill it

 
Exactly. It's only defense is that its so damn big everything else avoids it.
Pretty good defense. This blue whale is only one part of an eight-member team. Not like 8 rival animals are going to have X number of hours it will take to sit and gnaw apart a 150-foot long whale, with 7 other animals doing their part.
 
much like my russian bride.
Frankly, your getting punished with that Russian Bride is like picking a Joe Horn type in the 3rd round and getting punished with Tony Gonzalez instead. Sure, you wouldn't have picked her that early, but at least you got the clearcut best Russian Bride (in a deathmatch)
 
The blue whale could be used effectively by giving his teammates something to hide behind and/or leap off of to attack.  Kind of like having a fortress.  A fossa or leaping cat would actually team with a blue whale quite nicely.This strategy probably will not work with a blue-ringed octopus and an arthritic polar bear, however.  Splat.  Thud.
Polar bear's a swimmer... I think he'd work well with the blue whale. Arthritis Shmarthritis... we've got plenty of Bufferin.I would like to get my hands on that fossa. But this is not my team.
Bufferin? Well, why don't you just give it a pair of nylons and aset of brass knuckles, eh? Bufferin.... if my Gorilla sees any of that going on, he's having a conversation with the ref. In sign language.
A ref's only role in a death match is checking pulses.

i agree. however the penalty of everyone knowing the pick i wanted is significant.

That's very true. The Fossa was a good pick. Still, your Russian Bride should have some kind of disorder, I think.
 
The killer whale is the blue whale's natural predator in the wild. Granted, they normally attack in packs, but one determined killer whale should be able to do the job, just more slowly. Given the type of combat for the deathmatch, it seems that pretty much anything with powerful enough jaws and a good set of teeth would eventually be able to overcome the weight/size advantage. It isn't like the blue whale will be fighting back as it gets chunks ripped out of it.
It is why I still say the sleeper of the draft is the Killer Whale. Besides everything else mentioned (weight, strength, TEETH, SPEED) it is smarter than just about all the beasts.I'm sure you've all seen the shots of Orca lunging out of the water, onto dry beach, only to take an unsuspecting, large seal to his death...by feeding on it like finger food. As Orca throws it around in the surf to teach his young to feed, keep in mind, this seal-puppet weighs more than many of your killers drafted before it.Orca rules. :angry: :boxing:
 
people disliked the white tiger pick, so its gone. no hard feelings. move on

I want to share. By e-mail I told JAA that Kovax was punished , mainly for entertainment value.I am GM of the Kovax franchise ... it hurts our squad they we are punished for 'entertainment' value.Just looking to keep things fair, you have a tough job as it is,JAAMy response:I am trying to introduce moral standards to the group. He mothed off in favor of minimal punishment, but when nut-cutting time came he backed off. He could have spared himself and Sandbagger with the proper decision. Hell, I even told himm the nam,e of the story I was going to base my decision on. He should have stood up nad done the right thing or kept his mouth shut. That's entertainment.[

 
ok, the commish has given the thumbs up, so here we go. i will go ahead and draft the White Bengal Tigertechnically, its a bengal tiger, but its white coat is a product of having 2 parents that carry a recessive gene. this is the same situation that causes the black leopard(picked #3 overall), which was allowed. ask Roy just how dangerous they are
are you kidding me? :thumbdown:

I must also raise my voice in protest... unless I can draft a blue polar bear next round!
 
Don't any of you read the news? Siegfried claims that the tiger sensed that Roy was having a stroke, and attempted to save him as he collapsed by grabbing him by the throat and dragging him offstage. Puncturing of the skin near the jugular was incidental and an unfortunate accident.

Before this question was asked, I had decided to permit either the White Bengal or a Liger, whoever had the eggs to grab one first. The Tiger category is now CLOSED.
 
Better still, with all this commotion...TLEC, just post your 3rd choice (as pm'ed to me) and let's avoid the hoopla. I think its really a stronger selection anyway, and I am tired of the drama.

 
if this is going to cause dissention among a majority of the other drafters, i will change the pick. but i dont think its fair to distinguish between sub species. its up to you guys. i have another pick ready

The leopard pick was allowed because no one had drafted a leopard yet. This Bengal.... hmmm.... I'm a little confused.

Liger would've been my next pick. While I wouldn't classify it as a tiger, I bow to the will of the commish...

Good man, after reviewing the evidence presented by other members, I think I was in error, allowing you to make the pick. NEW RULE- no more pre-approvals before picking. I just do not have time to run the draft AND do the required research.
 
ok fine, i will change. no big deal. its all for fun anyway

Ill take the Asian Rhino

big, strong, tough and 2 rounds later than the white rhino. specific measurements can be found at the link. ill delete my previous pick

It would have been gone at the turn...

Good... if I can't have it, no-one can Mua-hah-hah!
 
Okay, going for some Land power--I will take the ever unpredictable BLACK BEAR link

Not the toughest bear on the block, but sneaky, devilish and will take out all the small little fighters that are coming on the draft board....

black bear's a good pick if you're fighting something hiding in a dumpster.

:rotflmao: I think almost everyone has witnessed the ferocity of the black bear at one point of their lives.
 
Laugh now all you want. We will see who is laughing as my bear is standingtriumphantly on top the crushed carcasses of your animals.....

the only way your bear is standing on top of crushed carcasses is if he thinks there's a candy bar at the bottom of the pile.

true, those chipmunk killers are a real value pick
 
Astonishingly, my timing does not suck.I will be reading over what I missed and prepping for my pick post-haste, so as soon as Fast Eddie makes his, I'll be ready to rock.

You are a fortunate man.PAGING Disco Stu PAGING

Are you prepared to make another replacement pick for FastEddie?

I give him 30 minutes and its yours. 1:30 ET.

 
Fast Eddie PMed me that his life is getting too crazy to keep up - so I'm going to help as much as possible

He gave me the green light for Jaguar and Blue Whale - but since those have been picked ... :wall:

- and in an effort to keep this thing rolling, I'll go ahead with the next pick without first asking Eddie.

Our team owns the most venomous creature in the ocean, so let's focus on that strength and choose another incredibly venomous creature...

Australian Eastern Brown Snake - Pseudonaja textilis

Pseudonaja textilis (Eastern brown snake) is the most toxic member of the genera and, at 12 times the toxicity of the Indian cobra Naja naja, it is the second most toxic land snake in Australia. However, due to the greater range, occurrence in urban areas and aggressive temperament, the eastern brown snake is the most dangerous and clinically important snake in Australia. The venom of the Eastern Brown snake is slow to produce effect, but once symptoms emerge they proceed with terrifying rapidity with death being sudden and unexpected.
 
I think if it is a small animal, then we should be allowed to draft a pack of them. I mean a kller bee does not strike fear in anyone, but a pack of killerbees is scary.The same thing for one piranha, but a pack is formitable....So I think the rules should be modified to allow animals that are smaller than a squirrel can be drafted as a pack.I mean what kind of battle would there be between a moose and one killer bee? The bee stings once and eviscerates himself--battle over...., but multiple stings could cause the moose to stampeed and run into a tree or off a cliff.The possibilities are endless.I've got my cheatsheets ready---when's the draft?? :D
Sounds great. When you put together a draft you should allow it, BUT NOT HERE. Single animals over one inch only.NEW RULE:Take note, this is important and I will re-post in the OP. If someone makes a pick that is against the stated rules (e.g., T Rex or 50 ants), I will not only replace their pick with some thing lame (like Bambi), but as a further penalty, I will also incapacitate one of their earlier pick... maybe a broken jaw for their hippo or sever hemerroids on their baboon... something really nasty and devistating.There are not that many rules and all the dunderheads that can't take the time to read them will PAY.
:rotflmao: excellent.
This post is cracking me up, now
