Official Great Works Draft (2 Viewers)

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.)

Unless he was joking, I think MFB is taking on Compositions.

I have no problem doing it. :(

I do. Misfit Blondes, we have had our disagreements but I have no objection to you as a drafter. Unfortunately, there is more than one person here who were strongly disatisfied with you as a judge in the World's Greatest Draft, complained to me then, and have expressed their concerns with you even involved in this draft. I overrode their concerns when you joined up as a drafter, but I fear having you as a judge would immediately bring back controversy that we really can't afford at this time if we're going to continue. So I am rejecting your offer.

 

[timschochet]

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.

I'll take over WP's team!

I don't know who you are. Sorry, but we really need to limit this to someone that most people around here know and trust. Is there anyone to vouch for you?

 

[timschochet]

Misfit Blondes, thank you for changing your pick.

Feel free to tell me how great my selection is. :(

It's an excellent novel, one of my favorites.

I wouldn't mind rolling the dice on some new blood. What's the worst that could happen?

 

[TidesofWar]

What are you having tonight?

I have reservations at Blue Water Cafe in Vancouver in about 3 and a half hours. I am in the process of cultivating hunger by sipping cold Bud Light :(

Working on getting a "well respected drafter" to vouch for me.

No one had any complaints with my rankings of the composers

I'm sure it had to do with the fact that I have classical training in music and have played for and with members of the Toronto Symphony Orchestra and know the composers and their works inside and out.

This is true and I forgot about this, actually. Let's find two other drafters who are good with you judging this category and I will agree.

 

[furleybaby]

WTF is this guy? He can't take over a team I've already claimed!

Tim said you were out. Stop acting like a brat, it's my team.

This is not exactly vouching for someone, and the answer is, plenty. Is there anyone here who knows Furleybaby and is willing to vouch for him?

Based on his credentials, I don't think we could find a better one.All in!

[timschochet]

OK, MisfitBlondes, based on your experience and the other drafters who have spoken up, I will put my own reservations aside. You are now the compositions judge. Hope you have a positive opinion of Eine Klien Nachtmusic!

 

[Big Rocks]

If you need someone to replace the wikkidguy, I'll volunteer.

 

[timschochet]

If you need someone to replace the wikkidguy, I'll volunteer.

Thank you, Big Rocks. You are accepted. I'll update you in the OP; you can make a pick for the 29th round whenever you choose.

whole lotta serious business going on in this thread

I missed some serious silly today.

Are shorts OK?

 

[Uncle Humuna]

I have an idea.

It might suck, but it's still an idea.

We all take turns drafting for pissah's team.

But, you can only draft in a category which your team already has filled.

We just go in order, so Fennis would make Wikkid's next pick, but could only select either Short Story, Philosophical/Political Idea, Scientific Discovery, Sculpture, Documentary, Sports Record or Political Document.

Rodg12 would then do Wikkid's next round selection within a category that he has already filled.

If you don't have a category filled that Pissah has an empty slot in, the next drafter on the list would make the pick.

OR

we could just get Big Rocks to take his spot!!!

[flysack]

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.

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.

Agree with Tim. I may be in it for learning new stuff, the the judging is the carrot at the end of the stick. It keeps us moving forward. Let's not get all crazy and stop keeping score at the little league game.

 

[Mr. Littlejeans]

I would just like to say that I might be the worst possible replacement for WikkidPissah, and in no way should I be considered as a replacement. I'll pick fights, I'll make non-sensical picks, I'll PM people goatse pics for no reason, and I'll just generally cause as much trouble as possible. Oh, and then I'll threaten the :e: goons with bannings if they don't stuff the ballot box enough for me to win.

I just want to be upfront here.

29.09 The Theory of Plate Tectonics, Scientific Discovery

I was waiting for someone to take this all draft, since it's my personal favorite scientific discovery. So i'll take it right now while I do some research later on for the other categories.

Am still an advocate for the final rankings being decided similarly to the NFL Pro Bowl - 1/3 Judge, 1/3 Drafters, 1/3 FFA

We'll go with whatever the consensus is. I don't want to have another FFA poll, though. First of all, it takes too long, and there's too many shenanigans. Also, and this is from a selfish perspective, there are enough people who for whatever reason dislike me in the FFA that I haven't got a chance of getting out of the first round.At the moment I'm in favor of leaving it completely up to the judges.

Tim, Hummazummah's idea is damn good. this thang has been long, and is only nearly halfway done. we need a fulfilling judging and one person's list isn't good enough. too biased for one, and too quick. lets hear what everyone has to say.

No FFA voting. 1/2 of Team Fennis puts her foot down on that. People have already indicated they'll be in for more shenanigans.Judges + drafters is good enough. Or just judges.

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...

Seems like there were a lotta ch-ch-cha-changes.

No need to read through everything...wikkid quit, and it's El Floppo's fault.

Let me clarify that if the FFA is included, it would be through rankings, and only through PMs (to verify no shenanigans). Maybe even invite only.

Meh, but then we'd have 100 pages of fighting about who gets an invite. 1/2 of Team Fennis (that's me ) still votes no.

 

[flysack]

I want to state that I'm still angry about BobbyLayne not supporting me in my ibarfight. If you can't count on your teammates to get your back, who can you count on?

I'm calling a team meeting. There will be a kangaroo court. Fines will be issued. I don't want to give anything away, but Bobby will posting as "GoatseeFan#1" for the next week.

Bank on it.
