Discussion 3: The Search for Spock

[Nick Nunziata]

Have at it.

[Cosmic Ray]

Just one quick question, Nick, me being a neophyte to this game and all. Perhaps it's just wishful thinking on my part, but I was wondering if, perhaps, this draft operated by "the first shall be last" convention of inverting draft order in every round.

I would imagine not, but I just felt the need to mention it, as that system does allow for a bit more parity in making choices.

[trippingbillie41]

I'm glad there's a new discussion forum. My shitty 28.8K would be sad when I get home.

RE: draft order for cosmic. Nick said, in DISCUSSION 1 I think, that we would just cycle through 1-43, 1-43, rinse and repeat rather than having an inverted-type thing going on.

RE: me being the horse in Career Opportunites. That would be nice. Being the tank top wouldn't be so bad, either.

[Nick Nunziata]

Sorry, but I picked the names random. What's the prestige of an early slot if you're bitchslapped in the second round?

[Cosmic Ray]

Good point, just thought I'd bring it up.

[Cosmic Ray]

So who is left to draft in the first round?

[willko]

well, i just went, and so the latter 5 or 6 folks are about all that's left for round 1. i got my first choice too. woo!

/willko.

[Blofeld]

I, for one, am just relieved that I'll have someone of such intelligence and wit with whom to hold discussions. On those long, lonely nights, it'll be great to have a companion of substance. You know, someone with whom to read Dickens by firelight...

[Cosmic Ray]

So we've got these left to go:

36. Underground Dweller

39. Eli Cross
40. DJ Dylan
41. Wheel99 (hey wheel, I didn't even know you posted here - CR)
42. Udo 1
43. Seahawk

[Seahawk]

Willko stole my number four!

Ah well...hopefully the rest of the list stays intact.



------------------
"Hold onta' ya' butts!'

[Blofeld]

She's your number 4? Wow. She was one of the ones I had on my list for choice #1 ... knowing -- or figuring -- that Liz, X and Y would already be chosen by the time we got to me. Surprisingly, X and Y are still up for grabs! But Heather ... Oh, my ... not a #4 there...

[willko]

only four? natalie's cute and smart... (a few i.q. points higher than elizabeth hurley, i'd bet).

okay, so she's not in anything spectacular in '01. we all know what's comin' around the corner...

but if it makes flyers130 feel better, he took my 15th pick. http://www.chud.com/board/ubbhtml/smile.gif

/willko.

[Blofeld]

Some of these first round picks aren't even on my radar.

[willko]

the chin? c'mon, he was at least number 5 for most of us.

/willko.

[trippingbillie41]

Geez, I totally spaced out Natalie Portman. She would have ranked high on my list, indeed. Heather Graham is hot, but seems too dumb to make the list.

Hey, Nick, have you given any thought to giving each round its own thread? That way, the drafting thread won't get annoyingly long.

[willko]

nick was probably going to do that, but we'll have to wait and see if the first round ever finishes. http://www.chud.com/board/ubbhtml/smile.gif sorry, nick.

i'm excited about seeing how far my pre-draft list will go... so far i've lost about 7 of my choices in round 1... and i've got about 15 left. you gotta go for depth.

my problem today was not having access to the boards from 10 am until about 7 pm. this almost screwed me over, because it was during that window that my pick came up... but i was lucky.

/willko.

[LeglessDog]

hey, thanks to everybody giving me a hand w/ the pics- I'm a blue collar schlub w/out comp access til I get home at night...

even if you bastards are screwing with my asskissing.

fuckers.

[Blofeld]

This is Blofeld's mother here. I think you all should be ashamed of yourselves. Objectifying people like that. Disgusting.

[Blofeld]

This is Blofeld's father here. I think my wife is absolutely correct, and you should all be ashamed and grow up!

And would you please start a new picture thread? My system can't download fast enough.

[Seahawk]

D R A F T!

Come on people! I've been waiting a very long time and the wait is killing me!

...then again, it only gets worse as this draft goes on...

please draft...if only to save my fragile heart from exploding, sending blood and guts and...

i'm done now.

------------------
"Hold onta' ya' butts!'

[willko]

we're down to the last five of round 1:

39. Eli Cross
40. DJ Dylan
41. Wheel99
42. Udo 1
43. Seahawk

i guess nick will announce who can go next, but i'd bet it's safe to say that at least the first three can go any time now...

/willko.

[Underground Dweller]

This si very frustrating.
I posted my pick, but I cannot see if it came up.
I refresh, and refresh, but nothing.
I don't want to post agian just in case it did work.

------------------
Fear me, for I will spit slimey green goo in your face!!!

[Blofeld]

I can see your post, Underground. And congratulations on getting Dennis Franz!

[willko]

the girl who redid the electric slide?

/willko.

[LowShot]

Wilko, you got my number 2!!!

[Nick Nunziata]

And mine... and Steve's...

[LowShot]

Yeah, but I was only about 10 people away from getting her!

[willko]

bwahahahaha!

bring on round 2... mine's still out there.

/willko.

[LowShot]

I still have my back ups. . .

[Hellblazer]

Just so everyone knows, if Udo1 and whoever else is left beat me in tomorrow morning, it'll be 10 eastern at the earliest before I get my next one in. Sorry.

Hellblazer

[LowShot]

Why are people talking in the Draft forum? Aren't we supposed to do all the talking in here?

[LowShot]

Hey, can I draft now? Or should I wait for Hellblazer and Scarab?

[Nick Nunziata]

huh, we're still waiting for 3 guys from the first round. Round 2 doesn't start until all have drafted.

[LowShot]

Ah, I just saw that udo1 drafted, and he was the last. . .

[Nick Nunziata]

Round two ISN'T starting until a few changes are made, actually. So, even if everyone from round 1 votes, hang loose.

[LowShot]

Err, udo1 and Seahawk. The last two..

[LowShot]

Probably a wise idea. . .

[Hellblazer]

Hanging loose, boss. Of course, I hang loose every day, so no big for me.

[Carl Cunningham]

Lots of TREATS (http://www.chud.com/board/ubbhtml/Forum29/HTML/000005.html) taken so far.... many more to come! http://www.chud.com/board/ubbhtml/smile.gif

[devilf]

My fellow Chewers..

Where are you guys? Why is this taking so long? This draft is more like a soft breeze.

Maybe we could give people appointments? Like I would know that on Wed, between 2 and 3 , I have to draft. We could work it out to fit people's schedules (ie, I can only get online at work, so I would have to draft on a weekday, sometime between 10 AM and 8 PM..)

Please note that this is in no way intended as a critique of the Draft, the Overlords, or CHUD.

[flint]

Sounds like Nick has a plan for Round 2...

[Blofeld]

43 enter. 1 leaves.

[Innocent X]

Not J Lo. No Hellblazer!

[Carl Cunningham]

Hellblazer's about to be pistol-whipped http://www.chud.com/board/ubbhtml/wink.gif

[Nick Nunziata]

I have one more girl that MUST survive to my pick.

[Steve Murphy]

willko, you FUCKER! I hope you punch the balls off yourself. You stole my 2nd pick! I was sure to win with Portman, now I'll have to resort to plan B. Jerk.

[Carl Cunningham]

Nick, I know who that is and BE GLAD you are drafting before me.

Malt.

[Nick Nunziata]

You have no idea who it is.

[Hellblazer]

Hell, I can't believe she made it to round 2, myself. I was sure somebody had already snatched her up.

[trippingbillie41]

I'm surprised it took this long for ms. Lopez to be picked up. I was going to modify my list if she hadn't been chosen by the time it got to me again.

As it is, I did some research on imdb today and found a wealth of new, unsuspecting hotties. They shall be mine, oh yes, they shall be mine...

[Carl Cunningham]

Nick, if you're so sure care to switch draft positions in next round? http://www.chud.com/board/ubbhtml/wink.gif

[willko]

to steve and all the other sore folks who lost their #2, i've got three words for you:

bwa

ha

ha

http://www.chud.com/board/ubbhtml/smile.gif

i love the trash talk portion of the draft.

/willko.

[Nick Nunziata]

email me who you think it is, Carl.

[Steve Murphy]

willko, I hope you accidently draft Mako. Or Ruth Gordon. Or Genevieve Bujold. Or Ace Frehley. You have been cursed...

[LowShot]

No Steve. Be glad that willko got Natalie. Because then you would have still had hope, and then I would have gotten her ONE TURN before you.

And then you'd cry like a baby.

[Dave Davis]

do i have to separate you bitches?

[LowShot]

Bitches leave.

[LowShot]

Well, I'm glad I got my Gwyneth.

[Micah Robinson]

I don't know if it is the new rules or what, but round two is moving 54 times faster than Round 1 already!

[trippingbillie41]

I know, I'm worried I'll miss my pick and I can't e-mail Nick because hotmail is being a dirty bitch. And previous discussion leads me to believe she will be chosen soon!

[Micah Robinson]

If you have to email Nick, then do it with your alternate/next best that has NOT been chosen yet pick as well as your next pick.

[trippingbillie41]

Yeah, I hate to use my work e-mail for this, but if I have to I will. And I had planned on sending at least my next three choices.

[flint]

DAMMIT! Hotmail is indeed being a dirty bitch, and if the posts keep up like this my turn will come around in a few hours time... Of course, I'm going to bed in like 5 minutes time. I'm sure you'll have swiped the few birds left on my list by the time I wake up.

Just to be on the safe side, nobody pick any sexy chicks until I wake up, okay? Thanks.

[Shelby]

Guys: This (http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/cn/20010124/tc/microsoft_searches_for_cause_of_major_outage_1.htm l) is why yer hotmail is not working.

[This message has been edited by Shelby (edited 01-24-2001).]

[Micah Robinson]

2 Hour gap is almost here!

The following people are up:

Legless Dog
Fright Flick Guy
Raoul Duke

ANY of you may go RIGHT NOW.

If another two hours pass, then it is Nick's turn.

[Nick Nunziata]

Mandy Moore is 16 right now. How OLD are you Imperator? She was liquid when Back to the Future was being edited.

[TheOutlawTorn]

oh sweet Christ...

[Django]

And the real contest has now finally begun as Raoul Duke becomes the first Chewer awarded a Team Django Death Mark.

I have dispatched the probe droids and you should expect retrobution within the next 72 hours...

------------------
For it was written that a geek was to be born of such hella kewlness that they made a movie of his life starring Franco Nero ten years before his birth...

[raoul duke]

Aw fuck, more probing? Haven't you bastards reached the limit of what anal probing will teach you?

------------------
and a voice was screaming: Holy Jesus! What are these damn animals

[LowShot]

I didn't get the death mark?

[trippingbillie41]

DAMN YOU, NUNZIATA!!!! (those are some damn fine pictures though)

Is it my turn yet?

[Nick Nunziata]

No, is YT.

[trippingbillie41]

S'allright. I e-mailed you a few candidates for my next choice. one of which has obviously been taken. Thanks in advance for placing my pick, should the need arise.

[Seahawk]

Mandy moore is only two years younger than me..

bwhahahaha!

I love being young.

------------------
"Hold onta' ya' butts!'

[Wheel99]

Hey Carl Cunningham

I saw this in the IMDB today and .... Well it's fitting.



Alyssa Milano Gardens Topless


Actress/model Alyssa Milano enjoys gardening topless because she loves being at one with nature. She says, "The naked body is something very natural and beautiful. I'll be in my garden, you know, just being natural

[Nick Nunziata]

In a weird twist, she shits with her pants on, though!

[Carl Cunningham]

That's why I've debated whether to run away to LA and set up shop as a top soil salesman http://www.chud.com/board/ubbhtml/wink.gif

[Seahawk]

orange juice now occupies my monitor.

i'd be mad...if it wasn't so dang funny!

------------------
"Hold onta' ya' butts!'

[Nick Nunziata]

... a tumbleweed rolls by...

[Seahawk]

So I'll laugh at most anything...

I'm amused easily... http://www.chud.com/board/ubbhtml/smile.gif



------------------
"Hold onta' ya' butts!'

[TheOutlawTorn]

Oh god Nick, that has to be one of the funniest things I have ever heard you say. Keep 'em coming!

[Dave Davis]

yes, i read that Milano wanted to name her 1-800-COLLECT character "Ava Shitpants", but the producers wouldn't have it...

[flint]

Okay now I'm confused, I'm after TrippingBillie, but we're waiting for people so can I go now or what?

[Carl Cunningham]

You guys leave my woman alone or I will fight you all with the powerful mists.

[Innocent X]

I'm a bit confused too, about the 2 hr block and all that.

[Carl Cunningham]

Just go, Flint... Abobo will choose if/when he arrives.

[This message has been edited by Carl Cunningham (edited 01-25-2001).]

[Nick Nunziata]

You're in like... WELL... FLINT!

[Imperator GAC]

I'm sure Mandy is very mature for her age. She just seems so darn intelligent on TV. Anyway, I am older than her, (who here isn't?) but I am big and mature enough to see beyond age.

[yt]

Thanks Pudyoola. I did finally get my shots to work though.

[devilf]

So I have a problem with my round 2 pick -

IMDB shows her as having a movie out, and one coming in 2001 (but I can't find out when in 2001). The problem is that I have no idea if the movie listed is a real movie or a lifetime or a straight-to-video. Can someone elucidate the rules in regard to a straight to video release?

[Nick Nunziata]

If it's coming out by JUNE, it's fine. If not, skip the pop diva.

[devilf]

It ain't a pop diva.. altho I went to a website for this person and they gave a release date for this movie and it 12/25/00. I never heard of it, and I'm in the second biggest movie town in the US.. I'm gonna go for it and you guys can shout me down if need be. But I got a week or so afore my turn cometh. http://www.chud.com/board/ubbhtml/wink.gif

[Innocent X]

Imperator, as long as she can cut her own food, it's cool.

[LowShot]

I'm intrigued, Devil. . .

[Nick Nunziata]

Lucy Liu is a treat (and Padula, I'd join C.O.L.L.B.) and while she'd have been my next pick, I'd be aghast if she didn't go sooner.

[Innocent X]

dev, you've got me nervous. I have someone with similar credentials I was thinking of taking later on. I hope you're not snagging her with your 2nd rounder.

[trippingbillie41]

Thanks, Nick. Naturally, those are my favorite pics of Ms. Heigl.

[Nick Nunziata]

You've never wanted to be a hand so bad before, right?

[devilf]

Kirby, don't interrupt my Ponn Farr over here....

[flint]

Liu is an utter babe, but she was like my fifth damn choice!

[Innocent X]

That joke was like a grenade. I had to go find out what the hell Ponn Farr was, but when I did, there was an explosion of laughter.

[LowShot]

Took me a little longer to find out what Ponn Farr was, but I got the same result as Innocent. . .

[Nick Nunziata]

Damn, I never get Star Trek humor.

SOMEONE PLEASE FUCKING DRAFT!

[Carl Cunningham]

Hey... some of us would if we could http://www.chud.com/board/ubbhtml/wink.gif

[Innocent X]

Abobo's on the board and he's up.

[Blofeld]

Last draft occurred at 10:44am est. Someone's two hours is just about up.

[Innocent X]

Put me on the list of people jealous of Micah's bitches.

[Nick Nunziata]

Closing this thread for size.
