The 2nd GoW Forum Fantasy Series: The Draft

As i traveled with goblin shaman she told me about what she could see. Something was weird about tyri, she was not stealing to get rich but to secure funds for something. Wait could it be her father?!
The shaman said that she heard a rumor that tyri’s father had dissipated after her mother got sacrificed in whitehelm to an a cult of people. I then noticed someone following. I tackled the figure and it was Hobgoblin. “what are you doing here my husband?” said the shaman.
“Husband?!” i exclaimed.
“I heard from the king that you would help catch the thief and it worried me cause i could not let my wife be harmed by that fahrbot, fekkik woman” he spat with jealousy. “I guess you can join us in our search but do not let your feelings for your wife cloud your judgement.” i sighed.
tl:dr i choose hobgoblin
@studs your up.

Interesting. @Studs is waiting on the next pick. No rush of course. Just though he might have gone back to back on the back to back.

Almost midnight here. Maybe I’ll take in a movie.

Lol it is currently @studs turn already though. I made my two picks to his one. Wonder what he will pull from the hat. Also i wonder if my references will be caught or not.

I’ll take Behemoth.

You’re up @Shiratori!

Nice pick studs. As it stands i am 3rd to last to pick troops so see you guys in a week jk i will be around still.

I believe we won’t be seeing any picks for a while as most of the upcoming competitors are otherwise occupied.

Good day guys. Keep an eye out for @Shiratori’s picks in the morning.

It has been a great 2 days.

Why hasn’t shiratori picked? He was here after being tagged.

I think he might be taking his time to consider his move based on those troops that have already been picked. Some have not gotten their second troop while others have their third. It might be a lot to swallow and process. About half the picks are chosen and some are for lack of a better word unprecedented or unexpected. Give him till morning. His pick might contain alot of thought or something who knows/

Oh you don’t know the half of it yet, esp. with the mind game I’m hoping to pull off. Trust me when I say, no one will have seen this coming.

For those waiting for my picks… wait a little longer. :wink: I have a trade that needs approval. I also need to go get some cupcakes while waiting on the commish. Once it’s approved and I’m back (shouldn’t be gone too long), you’ll get my picks.

I want a cupcake…

I don’t think you should be allowed to make deals when It’s your turn (and has been for 10 hours already). If you want to make deals, do so in advance.

Just my opinion though. Regrettably, I don’t make the rules.

I agree with this, looks like intentional stalling.

Its fairly ridiculous whatever it is, sorry. That’s unbiased, it is also my turn next but still…

And the other person has had 10~ hours to make the trade too. Either that or you only came up with this now…?

The trade was with me, and I was asleep.

Couple things. I was working on things since before my pick. Then starting with @Shimrra, my plans got blown up pretty thoroughly, like our first draft too. We finished 2 rounds, and even started the 3rd. It was late, I did fall asleep, but at the same time, I needed to give the other person a chance to respond. Now I’m waiting for approval.

Plus things like this happen all the time. Look at nfl drafts where teams trade their picks while on the clock so it’s not like this is such the unheard thing. Thing is, we are a worldwide community here so some things may take longer than planned. That said, we’re more than halfway through. Yeah no one likes waiting, but the pacing overall is still going rather quickly.

And aside, really? You pull off the biggest steal in the draft and then complain because someone else has to adjust to that too now? Pssh.

Also: the request came in when it WASN’T his turn, and we are way ahead of schedule. Patience please everyone.

And again for all the new comments about “stalling”, trade was made and accepted. But I still can’t do anything until it’s approved. Since @TaliaParks was asleep then too, we’d all be in the same position anyway.

It’s the other way around, actually. You were the one who made deals all over from the start, I was the one who had to adjust to that. And after you went on and on about my deal, I reserve the right to comment about yours.
