The Great American Draft II- Categories Set; 1st round set (1 Viewer)

[FUBAR]

Sorry guys, let's start the clock tomorrow- 1 hr per pick, 10 am to 7pm est. no clock on weekends

yikes. if we can make that a set time (such as 1st pick set to go at 10, 2nd in the 1100 hour, etc), cool. If not there's going to be a lot of skipped picks.

 

[timschochet]

Well pretty much a wasted day, guess BobbyLayne isn't around.

But anyhow the clock starts tomorrow.

 

[Mister CIA]

While we are waiting, I implore everyone vote for Hillary, else the dream of Greatest Billionaire Draft will die on the vine.

 

[PIK95]

 

[Doug B]

 

[PIK95]

Maybe next year.

 

[FUBAR]

nothing personal against Bobby, but we can probably skip him. Or wait the next twenty minutes, whatever.

 

[timschochet]

Yeah, skip BL. Pik95 you're up.

Please PM the next person after you're done. I will be too busy today to monitor this thread, sorry.

 

[PIK95]

With the 1.3 pick in catagory 29 "The most recognized but nobody knows their name." I will go with...Jonathan Goldsmith.

I will give him a proper writeup in a bit.

 

[timschochet]

Great pick.

I don't always read Pik's picks, but when I do they're interesting.

 

[PIK95]

I PM'D Malloy. Hour clock?

 

[timschochet]

It's a one hour clock but I'm not going to have time to

Monitor it.

We may have to shelve this thing. I get the feeling that there's just not enough people committed to it.

 

[AAABatteries]

Great pick.

Damn, that is a great pick - I honestly had no idea who he was based on the name.

I've got my pick ready unless somebody takes it.

 

[AAABatteries]

Assuming Tanner is in class he may not be able to pick for a couple more hours. I'd just go ahead and assume he's going to pick some famous cat enthusiast.

 

[PIK95]

Yeah, skip BL. Pik95 you're up.

Please PM the next person after you're done. I will be too busy today to monitor this thread, sorry.

Is the Hillary camp actually paying you? Priorities son!

How about Flip AAA and Bobby in the draft order?

This one goes up to 11, Nigel.

 

[timschochet]

That's right, forgot about you. You're #11.

 

[timschochet]

Not too late for anybody else to join. (In this draft, it will never be too late!)

 

[AAABatteries]

Did anyone PM steve?

 

[PIK95]

I didn't.

 

[AAABatteries]

I didn't.

- I went ahead and did. This is going swimmingly so far. At this rate, we should be done by Xmas.

 

[FUBAR]

Did anyone PM steve?

I did, right after I picked.

 

[timschochet]

It's because we only got 11 people to begin with. A lot of people prefer to be on autoskip, so 11 is just not enough to have a steady draft. I was afraid of this.

If it doesn't pick up by tomorrow, I think we probably have to call it off. Sorry everybody. Just not enough interest.

Just let it go and see what happens.

agreed

in past drafts, I enjoyed the free for all, just get one or two picks in per day whenever you can. That might be the best way to do all of this. just need to watch for duplicates.

 

[timschochet]

Sorry everyone. Just not enough interest. Maybe at a later date?

 

[AAABatteries]

I'll be in if we start it back up.

 

[PIK95]

I started so strong too. Try again on Tuesday?

 

[jwb]

Me too - I mean The Greatest is on my team. I can't lose!

 

[FUBAR]

Can I change my pick?

Let's see who actually will be here and try again.

 

[PIK95]

I have donated Bernie Sanders $20 each day, for the last two days. I pledge to donate $10 a day to Bernie (excluding weekends) for every day that nobody picks in this draft. I will do this for a maximum of thirty days if no picks are made over that time. I want to do this draft, and this strategy seems to be the only way to motivate Tim. I'm serious BTW.

How will motivating me get people to draft?

 

[PIK95]

We shall see.

 

[PIK95]

Just donated $10 to Bernie. Feel it!

 

[KarmaPolice]

Shortest draft ever?

 

[Eephus]

If American history was like this draft, the minutemen would have fled Lexington after eight seconds.

 

[PIK95]

+ $10 for Bernie.

 

[BroncoFreak_2K3]

Shortest draft ever?

Why do you all hate America?

 

[FUBAR]

Shortest draft ever?

Good thing I drafted a sprinter.

 

[PIK95]

Cha Ching! Plus another $10 for Bernie in Iowa!

 

[McJose]

Who won?

 

[KarmaPolice]

Who won?

Bernie Sanders' campaign?
