Voltaire 4,564 Posted May 11, 2018 I have read Hiroshima Nagasaki by Paul ham. It was very good. Did you get my text? I sent you my next pick, need a ruling please. I got it but don't remember right now. I, uh, I don't control my phone. When I'm not working, I don't need it. But it's quite popular in the house with other people. Really, the only time I look at my phone is when the kids want me to plug in the password so they can play games. In the split second I glanced, it did register that you'd sent me some picks for the draft but I couldn't tell you what they were. Now, I'll go get the phone... ------ ... got it. That combo should be fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
titans&bucs&bearsohmy! 2,745 Posted May 11, 2018 This thing is going at a glacial pace. I dont want to be a boat rocker, and I agreed to the format, but does anyone else thing that going three rounds deep on each category is a lot? Some of the categories I cant think of three at all. Even the big categories, three deep will be tough. Anyway. Whatever. Im in till its done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even the big categories, three deep will be tough. Anyway. Whatever. Im in till its done. I'd wanted to go about 20/per like we did in theworld history draft. Up through eleven participants all numbers could get us there pretty closely (+/-2) ... all numbers except eight. Eight forces us to choose between 16(x2) or 24(x3). So, as has happened with every other decision to be made, when I asked for advice ... nobody weighted in with any. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RaiderHaters Revenge 3,592 Posted May 11, 2018 I like the 3 deep, gives you thought, things like Presidents are limited to 45/24 picked and some good ones have been used elsewhere so far also makes it so you can lock up a category if you are strong in a field. I took Walt Disney for example and was thinking of grabbing 2 more businessmen this last round it adds more strategery Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
titans&bucs&bearsohmy! 2,745 Posted May 11, 2018 Fair enough. Its a couple of categories like educator that have me stumped. Lol. Now can people make their damn picks so we can get this done by Christmas? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
