This will be our draft thread for the six captains to make their selections.  There will be a 12hr limit for now and may change depending upon activity.  Please re-read that... it is subject to change if this thing takes 8 years!

Here are our captains for Season III and their draft order:

  • 1st:  ED209
  • 2nd:  Yossgold
  • 3rd:  OldNick
  • 4th:  NoJuice11
  • 5th:  CthulhuJones
  • 6th:  Sreimuth


Okay:  ED209, you sir are now on the clock!

Cool. I think each Captain only has one pick left so you may be a tad late for the party, but you never know :)

Also, bump for @ED. 2 picks!

I think they are @ED. 

@Yoss, you're up!  Are we going to try for 12 or staying at 10?  I didn't see anything from the captains.

I vote 10 ... I haven't seen any people that wanted to play and haven't been drafted ... the only reason I can see for changing is if people were left out ...

My pick is psychicdeath

@OldNick is up and when we're done with @sreimuth's last pick, @ED will have another one to replace @Anik.

Yeesh, next weekend looks pretty damn thin.  Tachi, Bitetti Combat, and Road FC appear to be the best ones.

it figures ... ******* Murphy's law, how come we haven't executed everyone called Murphy yet? I guess we'll need to address the issue ... maybe start one week later ...

I don't mind delaying the start of the season... it's just when we do start, we skip ZERO weeks ;-)

Usually you wait til you have your full team and get their input on a name.

I agree @Kalibo, every time I thought about my week-skipping suggestion it looked dumber and dumber to me ... it got to the point where I would change my vote if I hadn't already seen so many people had already shot it down :)
