Sheep Draft version 5.0

[morgieb]

BamBam Weekes. What a gun name.

 

[Red]

Damn Uve.

 

[NUFAN]

Yeah I'd never heard of BamBam until Uve selected him. Thought he was taking the piss at first.

Just waiting on Riggins and I'm thinking Valer.

I thought you were putting all the failures in the latest post my bad.

To clarify for others NUFAN is allowing me to repick after I sent in a pick that was already sheeped.

 

[NUFAN]

Yeah sorry. In the past I've added players to a banned list immediately, making it easier to follow. I'll start doing this after the final results for these two rounds.

 

[NUFAN]

A quick round, one of the benefits of being sick I suppose.

Wow. Was almost certain someone would go for him. Kicking myself now tbh.

 

[ohnoitsyou]

These questions are much better than the last two, close to ideal really

 

[ohnoitsyou]

Riggins can have James Marshall

 

[NUFAN]

Glad you like the questions, what was wrong with question 1? There is definitely going to be one or two more difficult questions to come.

Someone needs to pick a Sheep for Valer too please.

 

[weeman27bob]

Valer can have Charl Willoughby

 

[Valer]

Valer can have Charl Willoughby

I'll take that after getting sheeped.

 

[weeman27bob]

Nothing wrong with it really, just there was no thinking involved.

 

[Red]

Sent- great questions Nufan. This is the best draft imo.

 

[Valer]

Nothing wrong with it really, just there was no thinking involved.

I dont really mind "easy" questions it brings out other interesting tactics.

[NUFAN]

Not sure if its due to the shortened 24 hours, or a case of CBF but we have 3 that haven't voted. I'll allow a further 45 minutes..
