	e_holle										--------------
23-6	iraisetoomuch											--------------
9-16	D1iabol1cal												--------------
	CrimsonFox													--------------

I'll shorten some of those headings on the next updated table.

Each person accounts for 50% of the judging for their own category, and should not comment on picks until after the draft. The other 50% is judged by 4 other players within the game, we will find out who has what after the draft.

You have 6 hours + your chosen sleep time to pick or you are skipped. Once skipped you can jump in at any time.

This thread is open to anybody to comment on, just don't mention anything undrafted obviously.

Things you can expect this game:

Picking from 12 random groups of items
Shameless trash talk
Terrible picks with little or no justification
Picking from you own category
Any idea what the judges will use as their criteria

Did you think someone was gonna snipe you for Seinfeld?

That's funnier than anything in the whole series.

I don't think it's a great show, but I get the pick.

Not harsh enough. It's a terrible awful pick & it's bad & you should feel bad. Trying to get into the spirit of this.

Seinfeld? Tanked the first time through, so naturally you thought it'd be gold, Jerry, this time?

I really can't decide if this is meant to be a 90's TV show or 'best ways to kill someone'. I thought we were supposed to label picks that might be multiple categories.

My grandad used to say "if you throw enough **** at a wall, Seinfeld will still be terrible."

The category is "board" games not "bored" games, & you can't pick something from the category you're judging, but otherwise, solid pick

Not that I'm looking to support a weak pick, but compared to the rest of 90s TV, it isn't bad.

I'll make the first elite pick of the game in that case...

Ancient Greeks!

They invented essentially everything good in the world: Democracy, critical thinking, sex parties, pizza, balloon animals, maps, yoghurt, organised sports, etc.

"Elite" is a bit strong for such a deep category, but Greeks is a decent pick.
