Diab is up.

We'll use a standard 8 hours per pick before skipping it allowed, but skipping is not encouraged if the game is progressing quickly. Everyone also gets an 8 hour 'sleep window' if they want to declare it itt.
(Unless eyebooger wants something different, it is his game after all).

Diab is officially on the clock starting at 8am server time tomorrow morning, but feel free to pick as soon as you want.

Categories should really have no possible overlap, but please state what category if you think there might be any confusion.

Not too worried about an official "sleep window" or anything like that. I think everyone here is pretty reasonable and will pick as soon as they can.

Thanks for setting it up, IRTM. Picking 5th each round seems cool. Not having done many drafts, I assume I can pick from any category each turn, until I fill up my line in the chart.

Not to give out anything about my judging, but while a great frontman may be part of why I like a band, I won't necessarily think a frontman is better than others just because I like his band.

Didn't really want to be first in this draft, but oh well.

For round 1, I'll take Louis C.K. in the stand-up comedian category. It feels like one of the safest bets of the draft to me, but I guess we'll see!

Could you be a bit more specific with the sports category? Are we talking watching or playing?

Yes, but to be fair, you aren't the one judging. I am almost certain xander loves him and that's all that matters.

If that was your category, I would be sure to pick somebody from before the TV era.

This is what I get for not reading the rules properly. I didn't even see the part about there being a panel to judge each category.

90s movie has to be Pulp Fiction if we're drafting for a panel of judges

It's not my favourite movie from the decade, but I think it's the most crowd pleasing and will be the pick that some were thinking of.

Anyway

Videogame Series: Legend of Zelda

because of all the potential picks across all the potential categories this is the one I feel the strongest about and will be most annoyed about someone sniping me on
