FFToday is down but we still have this place. Hopefully it's temporary. I can use backdoor methods to contact vudum TBBOM, and 90sbaby.

Vudu has a "trade offer" in 12 Geeks with a link here, 90sbaby has a similar one in CCDL, and I've PMed TBBOM the address here. Bear is already here. If my scheme works correctly, we can use this place to continue the draft while FFT is offline. Nobody is getting skipped until FFT is back up or all five are accounted for here.

I'll take
Ferdinand Magellan and Juan Sebastian Elcano - Explorer
JP Morgan - Businessman
TBBOM's picks are then official - William the Conqurer and James Madison. So back to Bear.
I hope we hear from Vudu and 90sbaby in this thread.

Still not here Hey, Bear, take a look at my draft order. I've made a mistake and I need your help. Both 28.3 and 29.3 are Alan Watts. Obviously, that's not right. I can't fix it though without your help unless FFT comes back online.

I can't fix it though without your help unless FFT comes back online. I'm thinking now that Tom Waits is your 29.3 pick and that we never got your 30.3 pick. I remember "Waitsx2" - the name "Waits" and also waiting a long time for 30.3 to come in. I don't think you ever made 30.3. If so, you get to go twice for 30.3 and 31.3.

Really? Great! I get to own the evil mo fo cat:
Emperor Hirohito
If you only kill people with guns and bombs like we do, you're not really trying:
Chemical weapons and biological weapons were used on the Chinese by his direct order. The biological weapons include fleas infected with the plague. These method along with the following (including unlisted conventional warfare means), account for the deaths of 20 million Chinese. Add another 10 million Asians, while we're counting. Hirohito told his soldiers their lives didn't matter next to his, which made the following easier to do:
beheaded boiled roasted frozen buried alive impaled hung on hooks by their tongues military dogs bayonet practice disemboweled crucified eaten
The punishment for all of this was getting to live in a palace until his death in 1989. That was pretty nice of us...Pearl Harbor, the Bataan Death March, etc.
Mao Zedong
70 million people.
700,000 killed themselves because they were afraid of him. Think about it.
Killing 36 million people by declaring war on a small bird (The Great Sparrow Campaign), leading to the nations crops being eaten by locust, only gets you a win in the DMF category. That could just be a horrible mistake, or as it is referred to in China; "Three Years of Natural Disasters" People ate their kids and kids ate their parents. To be a stand out in the evil mo fo category, you need to hold on to massive warehouses full of grain while your own people die. Enough grain to have fed everyone. Someone is going to have to end the world to top this guy.

I dunno. I've been trying to lay out a bread crumb trail to get Vudu and 90sbaby into this thread: posts at the league message board, emails, even fake trade offers with the forum address in the comments section.
I'm not about to skip anybody when they're not in the forum. It's not like we're only missing one either, we're missing two of five.
I'm still bursting with names. Mike's board crashing has led to an unwelcome pause.

Serious pick. If it's my turn.
Conqueror: Harry Truman.
Allied forces came together to defeat the Germans but World War II wasn't over until Truman dropped the bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Official death tolls are hard to nail down, but some reports put the total number near 1/4 million people. Half of them were killed the first day.
The decision to use those bombs profoundly changed the world.
