TDOS Draft to End All Drafts - Round 20

Not open for further replies.
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.
 
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.

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 :).

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.

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.

Freedom, I cant imagine not living without freedom

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!

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

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.
 
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.
 
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

cooperation-two-mules.jpg


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.
