    I have my top 8 picks ready to go. With the second overall pick The Waterboy selects......

    This is gonna be a cakewalk as I cruise to victory.

    Do we do 3 picks at once, or alternate?

    Geezuz it's a draft.

    I can see Idzik saying "hey can I just pick 12 guys in a row or do I have to wait?"

    Snake draft, you pick 1st in 1st round and last in 2nd round, 3rd round goes back to order of 1st round and 4th round order of 2nd round.

    I had her lower, but bumped her up last minute. She's young enough to score points, but dumb enough to die young.

    Barry is running this so let's wait until he gives the go ahead. I do have my pick ready but don't want to get too far ahead on him. He may have some rules to lay down.

    I think we are ready to go so I think we can make a separate thread with the selections so it's easy to reference, I'll create a selection thread with the draft order and we can just edit the picks in that thread. A few last rules...

    For scoring like 1st death gets a bonus 10 pts, death by murder gets bonus 25 pts, you can pick a death row inmate but only get pts. if they die at the hands of another inmate or natural causes, not by lethal injection/electrocution etc.. A murdered death row inmate would get the 25 bonus its though.

    One last rule I think in the act of fairness if someone dies and we are in the middle of a round in order to score points that round must be over. For example Tupac is shot 8 times in Las Vegas tonight, and Waterboy selects him tonight and he dies tomorrow unless all 12 picks in the round have been made that pick would be void however as soon as MJK makes his pick if Tupac dies after that the points would count.

    If there is a dispute about whether someone meets the criteria it would be determined by myself, Waterboy and Faux Machine. 2 of 3 agree and it's a go, 2 of 3 don't and it's no go.

    Once pick is made please PM the next person in line. If you think there is a chance you won't make it please PM your pick to myself, Waterboy and Faux Machine. Bellows has made his pick so I will PM Waterboy

    Let's get this thing rolling....

    The Waterboy will be on the clock at Noon on Monday New York Time but if he would like to pick before he certainly can however the 6 hour clock will begin at noon.

    With the second pick in the 1st round I selected Stephen Hawking age 74.

    I have updated the draft thread but can not message NotSatoshiNakamoto, I guess he does not except messages.

    You are on the clock.

    I was trying to send a DM to everyone and you were the only one it told me a message could not be sent to, i was only able to send out to 5 posters though just due to message limits.
    I think just notifying in here should be fine though.

    Probably just the DM that have the problem then.

    Mary Tyler Moore was just outside my top ten, she has been hanging on for months now.
    Your in trouble if she gets that audience with the pope though, he'll toss some holy water on her and she'll be up and dancing in no time.
