[Early_10]

Great first pick Homer. Exactly who we knew would go first. By the way, if you can't make it all week on that nic, just let me know who you are and we'll fill you in.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

I'm ready to go but I don't want to steal Early's spot if there's no time limit today.

You have my permission.

2 hours between picks and they're calling for her head already. Tough crowd.

How do you get "calling for her head" from the above posts?

I might exaggerate on occasion.

I never do. Never ever ever in my whole life.

I might be able to vouch for this if I hadn't spent $1500 to fly myself to Columbus specifically to visit you following your promise of Russian women flowing like wine, only to be abandoned after I asked you to buy the first beer.

 

[Early_10]

my apologies, I thought the no clock applied to the weekend.

It will but with any luck, we'll be nearly done by Friday and can work on a write up. Pretty sure we managed the actor draft in 5 days. The no clock today was to give everyone today to catch up on the rules/guidelines.

If there are only 4 bosses, and only 4 in-laws, how are all 12 people going to fill those categories?

 

[Killerclown]

well if there were only 4 that would be a problem.

 

[Smoo]

boss/supervisor (this must be boss of one of the 4 mains)

crazy family/in law (again of the 4 mains)

Are there, in fact, 12 possible choices in these two categories?

Thank you Smoo for your wonderful contributions. How would you have worded it? :takingnotes:

Yes, more than enough family members but I added inlaw so that a few more could be included. I'll be lienient if someone wants that to be a girl/boyfriend of the 3 mains (excluding Jerry since his gf is already a category).Boss/supervisor... I think we can get 12 from George alone.

 

[Killerclown]

without any digging I can think of 9 relatives and 9 bosses, so it will be easy to find another 3 with a couple more minutes of thinking.

 

[Killerclown]

forgot about inlaw, easy to get 12. And lots of possibilties for the bosses.

It's doable. More than doable if people are creative enough with it.

So you say that you may occasionally exaggerate, huh? I just don't see it...

I'll work on it.

This is where it starts getting interesting, eh?

 

[jwvdcw]

question: Is the "guest star" mean the actor/actress that guested or the character that was played?

 

[Killerclown]

Yes it does, harder to predict. I have two things I am targetting a 9, I hope one this is for me.

 

[jwvdcw]

another question: If someone/thing is drafted in one category, are they/it still eligible to be drafted under another category?

 

[mon]

another question: If someone/thing is drafted in one category, are they/it still eligible to be drafted under another category?

Good question. For example, many of the episodes are named after a certain item, food, shtick, etc. So, can someone choose the "[insert food item here] Episode", and then someone else choose that food item for the food item category?

 

[Killerclown]

I think you have to allow that, if you didn't it would eliminate 4 locations right away as well.

 

[Wooderson]

 

[The Dreaded Marco]

Norwood PM'd?

 

[Early_10]

question: Is the "guest star" mean the actor/actress that guested or the character that was played?

I suggest mentioning both since the voters will likely recognize one more than the other depending on the guest star. Things can be drafted in 2 categories in the example of episode vs food item or inanimate object but not in terms of drafting jerrys gf and then drafting the the same as guest star, kwim? We'll play it by air and I'll be as flexible with it as I can without allowing too much duplication.

[Smoo]

We'll play it by air

 

[Early_10]

We'll play it by air

ear?I'm sure you are well aware that my accent allows for air and ear to sound the same. Therefore, since I've never actually written that before (although I say it all the time) I have no idea which it is. Please educate me. And please give the origin of the phrase so I am sure to understand and absorb it's application.

All together now, "Thank you, Smoo."

"Play it by ear". Musical reference. You don't have the sheet music in front of you, so you do your best to remember how the tune is supposed to sound and sort of make it up as you go. Now a larger expression to indicate any kind of improvisation.

 

[ScottNorwood]

Frank Costanza

Sorry for the delay. I had no idea I was signed up.

 

[Killerclown]

very nice pick

Ok. Was gonna try and pull a fast one and draft Elaine as a gf.

Thank you Smoo for your wonderful contributions. How would you have worded it? :takingnotes:

It's not a question of wording, it's a question of possible.

I would never even ask this of another poster, but just since you're the resident grammar expert....Shouldn't it be "possibility" instead of "possible"?

That way lies madness...

 

[cosjobs]

I will pick very soon. I just checked in for the first time today.

And empty your inbox. TIA.

 

[cosjobs]

There are several possibilities here, but the most character of any character still available has to be that of J Peterman.

 

[Killerclown]

is that the pick then ?

 

[The Dreaded Marco]

Are F Costanza and Peterman being drafted as "characters" or "family" and "boss", respectively? I didn't see the designation in either post.

JMHO- I think you should specify how you intend to use them when you draft them, but I don't think it should be binding until the draft is over.

 

[ScottNorwood]

I don't have to decide "what" Frank Costanza is until the end. Sorry folks. Thems the breaks.

This sounds fine to me. Give the category but changes later arent a big deal.

Is that "how" it goes? Didn't know. Just asking.

Yes "it" is. No problem. I'm a veteran of these types of drafts.

hopefully things pick up tomorrow

Character, otherwise it would be an actor/actress draft. Just what I thought.

They're going to have to---the 30 min clock starts tomorrow.
