DICTIONARY WARS!!!!!!!
u can't precisely identify Sex through your mind..you can think about it but you can't realize it. As opposed to grief(or stress) which can be realized through thought...thus making it tangible

The first of what will inevitably be many tough decisions Bobbo will have to make.

"The Orgasm" and I'm pretty sure everything applies-- and that's about as specific as it gets.
This is fine imo.


fwiw Clark, this was in the general class of my presumed first pick, though not exactly it.

uhh..nice pick nath...but I dont think this fits the picking criteria. (i could be wrong though).

you could draft a thousand virgins though.

or a thousand whores.

or a thousand really tight whores. (anythings possible)

but not sex.

at least, i dont think so.

If sex isnt allowed, orgasm isnt either, they're both the same class of pick. I would allow the pick though.

Nath, did you PM the person drafting in the #2 spot?
&quot;The Good&quot; Draft Discussion Quote

Orgasm is a tough one though cuz u do experience that....you could argue it's tangible
&quot;The Good&quot; Draft Discussion Quote

You also experience the act of having sex.

Nath isn't drafting the idea of sex, he's drafting the actual act of ****ing as far as I can tell.

i dont see how its allowable. Its an act. not a person or thing. Its not draftable, IMO.

Next thing you know, people will be drafting working out...running...eating...****ting...pissing...typi ng...talking...yelling......

First of all, I really enjoyed reading that. Very well thought out and written submission - thanks for the effort.

Secondly, I think emphasizing an action that can provide such intense physical pleasure while being utterly fundamental to any society is a pretty good place to start. It wasn't where I was planning to go with pick number one, but I think you chose something that is an integral part of any society, and therefore something that should be in and around the first few picks.

Unfortunately though, I think you shouldn't be allowed to pick "sex" on its own, as it is not a tangible item. However, I don't think that is too much of a problem. Just think of some tangible item that is a universally recognized embodiment of sex and you'll be fine.

yeah, on second thoughts orgasm is a no-go. nath, "petting llamas on Friday in Chinese Taipei" is super specific, but it's not specific that matters, it's "person or thing". An orgasm is not a thing.

I don't even like this as a #1 pick if it is allowable.

Yeah but the Orgasm isn't an act or a concept it's an actual feeling that is experienced through the mind and body.....U can make the argument that it's tangible...It can be realized through the mind...but idk it might not be

yea, great writeup..but I agree with everything LL just said.

I think that we should make a rule that you can't draft anything that another universe can't exist without. Since sex is needed for procreation, it shouldn't be eligible.

lol sick writeup if it was actually draftable.

Bobbo said "events" were draftable. How can an event be any more tangible than "the orgasm?"

Also, it doesn't matter that sex is needed for procreation. There is nothing that says basic needs can't be drafted. Everyone else's world still gets to have sex, the best sex will just be had in Nath's world.

Unless, that is, you think there is something more important than technical skill in making the act of sex enjoyable. I think.

I think he may have made a mistake when saying anything intangible can't be drafting because many of the things ppl plan on drafting will probably be intangible..like sex..or maybe he made a mistake adding events...
