Official Great Works Draft (1 Viewer)

Tim - I'm cool with you staying on as commish for the duration. Always better to stay consistent when you have the opportunity to do so.

As for the Heavens and Earth pick as an invention, it doesn't meet the criteria we set forth requiring us knowing when it was created. Our best guess at the age of the Earth has a margin of error of hundreds of millions of years (current studies place it and 4.5-4.6 billion years old Link). For the same reason the wheel was nullified, this should be nullified.
Psh...it was created "in the beginning."

Working on some Mahi Mahi tacos. Homemade tortiallas. Salsa Verde. Guacamole. Safron rice and refried beans.I'm in over my head.
Homemade tortillas? :impressed:Mr. krista4 is making seafood risotto, and the smell is driving me mad.
My first attempt at the tortillas, so don't get impressed yet.Seafood risotto sounds good, especially if someone else is doing all that stirring.
I like grilled Mahi tacos with a salsa made of Mango, red onion, cilantro, fresh squeezed lime, sliced jalapeno, diced red pepper, salt and pepper .Pair with a good Gewurztraminer or a Vinho Verde for :thumbup:
 
I don't understand why people get so worked up over what someone posts on another board. I don't even understand why someone gets so worked up why anyone posts on this board. Well, except for El Floppo that guy is kind of a ####.

I would rather we replace Wikkid if he is going to quit. Pretty selfish thing to do to quit, I hope he changes his mind, but if not let's replace him. I don't care who judges the categories. Judging this draft in particularly is an impossible task and carries zero weight with me.

 
i'm out of the draft. for all intents & purposes, i'm out of the FFA.Borderline Personality Disorder (look it up) used to be an aberration, the armor of those incapable of creating positive feeling about themselves. now it is a lifestyle choice. there's a reason for that & one need look no farther than the face one shaves/tweezes in the morning. morality lies not in a church, decency not in a crusade. to have what we must to succeed as a society, each heart & soul must be defended and kept worthy of that defense. the first step in that vigilence is paying attention to one's surroundings to see where one can contribute, correct those who obstruct. the last is to invest enough of oneself to be of aid in the flow of human discourse. it's just as simple as that. we are herd animals - if the one who endangers the many is not isolated and, further, ostracized, the community comes under risk of attack, from without & within. in the last generation, the laissez-faire legacy of 60s openness & mellow has devolved into a code of selfishness & oblivion worthy of Ancient Rome. we have tended our personal & societal borders so poorly that most dont even know they exist or are supposed to exist. this is a way of woe.i'm a fat old man whose health indicators say that heart attack #4 is close at hand - i dont have much longer to worry about it. but you should - it is the dictate of being human to have always left the world better than you found it. your complacency can make this generation the first that didnt. Flysack has never offered these forums anything but "tude". when i told him, b4 the draft, that his act made him unworthy to be a judge of the GWD, he not only went ballistic on me (here & :e:lsewhere) but has apparently sought to be a disruptive influence since. i dont know how he found his way onto Team BL but, well that's BL's call. with his teammate otherwise engaged, Flysack spent his energy using the off-clock of the last 2 wkends jacking up the draft - not only holding up forever but coming on to announce that he didnt feel lie drafting right now. hence, my ultimatum. there's is no better evidence that the lil punk knew what he was doing than that he drafted almost immediately after i drew a line in the sand, not knowing which way the wind would blow.Turns out there was a doldrums the likes of which i havent seen since Mutiny on the Bounty (sorry for the spotlighting). Not only does this moral lassitude spit on what value i have tried to add to these boards, it makes me realize that i am drafting among people who are not fit to be arbiters of aesthetics. until there is as much will as taste behind your choices, you are merely customers. cant say i dont have genuine affection for a few of you, but you have forced the realization upon me that my time can be better spent. next time you wonder what wikkid would say about something, realise you've yourself to thank for not knowing. nufced.
So...um...did you report me?
That was me.... wait... who are you again?
 
It seems that most of the fun stuff happens on the weekends. I'm pretty sure I've read every post in this thread. I'm also pretty sure I have no idea what just happened.Meanwhile, I'm enjoying the thread as I did the others. And you guys are missing out on a huge value awesome to see structure at this point that I would take if I didn't have the monster theme going for me.
Wait... you have a theme? :thumbup:

I'd actually prefer no judging at all. I like the draft for the purpose of learning and fun, not for declaring a "winner". I expect most would disagree, though.I have asked Mr. krista4 if he'd be willing to judge songs or albums (since he has a light workload with only 20 short stories to judge), and he has agreed. Maybe he could take one and Hummus could take the other?

ZOMG! I made salsa verde nachos!!! We should totally compare salsa verde recipes!
Someday I will murder you
Can I have the recipe instead?
* 1 1/2 lb tomatillos * 1/2 cup chopped red onion * 1/2 cup cilantro leaves * 1 Tbsp fresh lime juice * 1 cup blood of the non believers * 1/4 teaspoon sugar * 2 Jalapeño peppers * Salt to taste
 
So, I don't know if rodg or tim is in charge now, but I think we have to take care of a little business, yes? From what I know of wikkid, there is no chance that he will come back. I know most of us wish he would change his mind, but I put the chances of that at -0%. That's right--negative zero percent; that's how low the chances are.

Unless we want to disband the draft entirely (which I can't imagine we do, but I throw that out there only because this was wikkid's baby), we need to get new judges for songs, albums, and compositions. And we should decided what to do with wikkid's team--have someone else take it over for the balance or just leave it out (I'd vote for the latter).

Whatcha think?

ETA: And Hummus, I think you're up.
Technically it's still Tim because we're not through round 30 yet, but I can go ahead and provide my input. I like your idea of just finishing this puppy with 19 teams and leaving wikkid's team as is. Uncle Humuna, since I remember you judging the musical peformers category in the WGD and doing a good job of it, I was wondering if you would be willing to pick up 1 or even all of the categories wikkid was supposed to judge? Any one else willing to judge one?
Unless someone else really wants to take 1 of them (or pissah decides to come back or at least stay on as music judge), I'd be willing to take over all 3 . . .eta -> (Assuming he doesn't return - which I REALLY hope he does), I would vote for someone taking over Pissah's team. IMHO, it's one of the top ones, and it would be a shame for it to be left incomplete. :thumbup:

You take 'em. I only pressed Mr. krista4 into service to lighten the burden.

Didn't get to your post before I replied to this one.If Ollie is willing to, I think it'd be great to have someone not in the draft doing the judging

(plus he's obviously knows his ####, so he'd be perfect . . . other than the obvious proximity advantages (and willingness) in regards to potential bribes of one sort or another . . . NO CHEATING!)

Team Fennis does not agree to the no cheating clause.

OK, sounds good. Would you prefer songs or albums? I'm sure he doesn't care.

How are the tacos?? How did you do the fish?? Did you see my mango salsa recipe?

I'll let him pick.He can have both if he wants.I think it would be great if he did.(Does he not want compositions? If not, I'll take it - unless someone else is really looking forward to doing it).

OK, he says albums. He also said, "Pity the fool who chose Pink Floyd." :thumbup: He is a bit of a music snob, you know.

1. Misfit Blondes, thank you for changing your pick.

2. Oliver Humanzee will be our Albums judge. Uncle Humuna, you will do compositions and songs. (I hope you don't think Eine Kleine Nachtmusic is not a real composition, but that's besides the point.)

3. If someone who is not currently a drafter wants to take over WP's team, they can volunteer to do so. Otherwise we will remain at 19.

4. Unfortunately, we also need a judge for acting, as Mad Sweeney has informed me he is quitting for reasons he asked me not to divulge here.

5. Rodg, I will stay as Commissioner as I wrote. However, there is still the issue of me being gone June 17-28. Either we need to suspend the draft for those 11 days, or I would like you to start a new thread around that time and agree to be acting commissioner while I am gone. I do not want this thread to be running while I am gone because there will be no way to update the OP's. Let me know if you want to take over for that time, otherwise, we will suspend.

:( This is the only reason I'm involved. Besides giving TidesofWar a stroke. ;)
Are there others in favor of this? I'm still on board with doing away with judging altogether.
No, I disagree. I think category judging makes things twice as interesting.

I can do acting performance, too, but would step aside if ToW or anyone else might want to do it instead.

I appreciate your eagerness. However, because you have also been eager to ridicule me in the past, as well as this draft, I think this would be a volatile situation, and therefore I must regretfully decline your kind offer.
