TDOS Draft to End All Drafts - Round 20

[Kings Faithful]

What good is it to draft Indian/Chinese/Italian/whatever food, if somebody has already picked food as a category? As an outside observer, I'd like to...observe that the way I'll judge these things will give great benefit to the more specific items, in favour of broader categories. So, for instance Indian food, to me, is much better than just drafting food. Just like flying is a lot more awesome than basically any other superpower and will thus be rated higher than superpowers. Don't know if anyone else sees it that way, but I do.

When you think of food, what kind of food do you think of? Do you specifically think CHINESE! ITALIAN! INDIAN!... no you just think food! When you think of super powers most people think of Super Powers they think of the specific powers... and most often flying because that's probably the biggest similarity among most super hero's.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

I don't think they are the same, because mine specifically focuses on the movie theater aspect of it... and doesn't have things such as an "arcade". But if you truly think I'm stealing your thunder I will withdraw my pick without the use of a challenge.

Well you did include a snack bar. If you want "High end home theater equipment" I have no problem.

K, I'll edit the snack bar out... but I get to keep the leather chairs... lol.

I don't think you should be too worried, it appears that there's near unanimous consensus that your pick is the superior one.

I asked my wife what the best superpower is though and she said something completely off the radar so far.

Watch, I'm going to be paired off against Jespher and I'm gonna lose and everyone's reason for picking Jespher will be "I like KF's Flying, but Jespher has flying and more!"...haha

I think some people need to remember some basic drafting etiquette here. I'm beginning to feel a bit defensive...This is supposed to be a fun activity everybody. If you can't say something nice, maybe you shouldn't say anything at all. Let's try to stay away from discussing specific picks too when possible. Thanx .

YOUR WRONG! Its not about fun! Its about WINNING! MWUAHAHAHA!

If you want drafting etiquette mabye you shouldn't take other peoples thunder, European Food Super Power Picker Face!

 

[GoGoGadget]

So, yeah, all the picks stand. Seems pdx and Kings Faithful have worked out that issue, and Jespher's "super powers" fits the rules as have been established several times. Both specific and general picks are allowed, which is going to lead to some crossover, but people can vote for whichever version they like best.

 

[GoGoGadget]

Have to actually thank the ice cream pick for making up my mind on the next one.

Gelato -- I just love this stuff. Don't know that there's really much more to say about it. Yum.

 

[kings4lyfe32]

sorry guys, im on vacation, havent had a chance to check the comp really, Ill post my pics now, however ill have to post a pic at a later time

 

[kings4lyfe32]

alright first off seeing as I have UFC and the NFL lets follow suit and take

TNA wrestling, I like it way better than the WWE anyway, and you know what forget what i said about not posting pics up there ^

 

[kings4lyfe32]

secondly, Ill take shoes. Thats right all shoes, Jordans, Addidas, Nikes, anything and everything. In my eyes the shoe makes the wardrobe

(just a side note, you cant beat the all white air forces ^)

All shoes, all shoes? Or all athletic shoes?

Just asking because if I put "shoes" on the draft board it might make your pick look much more broad than you intend it.

 

[kings4lyfe32]

last but not least, and Im not positive this hasnt been taken but

Freedom, I cant imagine not living without freedom

and once again, sorry for the holdup guys, its hard to follow this while on vacation

Almost picked that myself a few rounds back... unfortunately for me and lucky for you... I forgot about it.

 

[SLAB]

So many picks in like 2 days!


Im assuming Im only on the clock for my earlier skip, so pick is coming shortly.

 

[Larry89]

Health

Croissants

 

[SLAB]

Well, my iPod has already been taken, so I'll take...

My iPhone.

Basically an iPod + a phone + internet access + GPS + Apps...
This is my favorite gadget I own nowadays. There is so much the thing can do!

 

[VF21]

Just curious... what kind of $$$ do you have to kick out each month for iPhone service?

 

[GoGoGadget]

While it has been more than 12 years since I stopped training (goodness, I'm getting old), anyone who knows me knows that one of the very most important things in my life is

Dance -- From four to 19 years old, I trained extensively as a dancer. And I did everything I could. Ballet, tap, jazz, contemporary, latin ballroom, swing, hip hop, belly dancing, and more. I have since stopped hard core training, but I still pick up classes occasionally (been dropping in on belly dancing classes this summer and having more fun than I can express) and am still absolutely consumed with dance. Whether doing it or watching it, dance moves me like few other things will ever be able to.

 

[Kings Faithful]

My next pick is...

Braveheart

My second favorite movie behind only Star Wars!

 

[Jespher]

With the 18-hour clock kings4lyfe has timed out (again ).

SLAB is now on the clock. PM Sent .

 

[SacKings7]

The bottom half of this draft goes soooo slowwwwwww

 

[Jespher]

The bottom half of this draft goes soooo slowwwwwww

That's because some people time out more than they pick...I'm for instituting a penalty (forfeit a pick, etc.), especially if you time out 4+ times like kings4lyfe.

FYI: SLAB will time out at 8:07 . I'll have my pick up soon there after, but I've got to go pick some more blueberries for now (6 weeks straight can get a bit grueling).

I'm actually considering a shortened clock for those who are regularly timing out.

 

[Jespher]

I had a clever rant all planned out here, describing how each of my picks was made from personal experiences and loves, but I bet it would just come off as preachy and off topic anyway. So here's my next pick. With Life, in all it's forms, beautiful epic landscapes, ample imagination, and every Superpower at my disposal I can really get things done. But what I also need is an atmosphere of camaraderie, teamwork, compassion for each other, and cohesion. With my 10th pick, I select:

Cooperation

Spoiler

Cooperation is the process of working or acting together, which can be accomplished by both intentional and non-intentional agents. In its simplest form it involves things working in harmony, side by side, while in its more complicated forms, it can involve something as complex as the inner workings of a human being or even the social patterns of a nation. It is the alternative to working separately in competition.

There is a nice speech in an otherwise forgettable movie (City Hall) that I have always liked. Not for the delivery by Al Pacino, but for the picture that it painted in my head. In the speech, Al Pacino, portraying the mayor of New York City, tells the story of a palace. "There was a palace that was a city. A palace in which there is no King, no Queen, no Princes or Dukes, but subjects; all beholden to each other, to make a better place to live. Were we not great once? Can we not be great again?"

My utopian isle will be united in a common cooperation, to meet community goals, help those in need, protect each other from the pains and trials of this world, better ourselves and our neighbors to make a better place to live.
