    Path to the Draft

    Captains: Trowa, Skeet84

    Draft Date: March 20th

    First Overall pick: Trowa

    Players: denderfeliac, 2k5, pennphinfan, Big E, Finascious D, MonstBlitz, Stitches, SICK, Rocky Raccoon, DrAstroZoom, GridIronKing34, Colorado Dolfan, PSG, Hurricane, Finfangirl, dukane5, GISH, Tractor Traylor

    *bolded players have confirmed their spot with me.

    This thread is here for the players to convince Trowa and Skeet why they should definitely leave a spot on their team for you. Do you bring anything to the table? Any talent? Hard work and consistency?

    For some, you're known through this board or played last year and know what you can bring to the table. This is more for the lesser known guys who want to show you that you need them on your team and if you don't you're making a big mistake in not taking them.

    If you don't know what to put here, the original Path to the Draft thread is at the bottom of the last page of this sub-forum which will give you some examples of what people put last year.

    I dont care which team I'll be on. So pick whoever you'd like. The team that picks me is going to win.

    Notable Skills:
    Pretty good at Madden.
    I can make cool sigs.
    Ive got a pretty sweet spin fade away shot.
    I make really good snacks.
    My favorite activity is winning.

    I think Trowa and Skeet both know what I bring to the table. Simply put, I'll make it happen and am untouchable in the arcade.

    Well let's see.... I'm from the :theu: ... that means two things: I don't lose and I've got swag.

    I'm a first year survivor, so I'm not 100% on what to expect, but after having gone over last year's challenges, it's nothing I'll have trouble with.

    I have a broad and extensive knowledge of pretty much everything from all sports nationwide to politics to history to pop-culture.

    I've taken upper-division science classes, math that looks like chinese and... chinese...

    So I guess, if I had to pick, knowledge would be my forte and seeing that this is an online competition.... well that makes me your MVP.

    But hey, don't get me wrong. If we played football in real life (or even madden), I'd still come out on top. I'm that good. Who here would be able to cover a 6'3 redzone terror? Anyone? Didn't think so.

    As a whole, I don't stray from :theu: mold.

    [video=youtube;QxEjXLds9wY]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QxEjXLds9wY[/video]

    God, getting into my character is fun!
    It's all true though :yes:

    Now THIS is a good path to the draft post.

    Unfortunately 6'3" redzone threats are already covered by yours truly. :tongue2:

    I forgot to mention that my perfect mixture of humility and arrogance makes for the perfect survivor competitor. As the great master splinter once told me, dont eat pizza before you drink toxic waste. I'm not sure what it means, but Ive never done that and it has served me very well.

    The first reason why I'm so freaking awesome is my humility. No one can out humble me I'm the best there ever was at it and while I don't have tigers blood I do posses Adonis d.n.a. :yes: I haven't learned the craft of brewing beer (yet) but I have found an effective and affordable way to turn it to pee.:shifty: I'm good at puzzles especially mazes and identifying random people and objects (crushed the challenges where a random object had to be identified as well as pictures of random people and the mazes) Can do some simple photo shopping but I do have illustration skills (check path to draft from the first season for some examples) I am an active player and I already feel bad for the team that doesn't draft me (F U for not picking me, what you think your better than me? well your not) <-- Preemptive:lol: Also I've got a lil' secret. It's called sex panther and 90% of the time it works every time!!!:yes:

    What I bring to the table:
    Made it the final 3 last year, and plan to do the same this year.
    Pretty good at alot of things, I have alot of useless information in my brain. Perfect for a game like this.
    Good strategically.
    I have no life so I'll be dedicated.

    I am not going to lie I expect a lot out of my team. I work hard and I expect my team to do the same. This is a game and we all understand if you have something to do /or somewhere to go but hard work will keep you in this game. When push comes to shove we will keep people who help the team the most (or at least I hope that's what we do lol)


    If anyone does /or does not want to be on my team for whatever reason just pm me and let me know.

    Skeet nailed it right on the head. Just because I'm team captain doesn't mean I think I'm better than anyone, but I expect the people on my team to work hard. Me and Skeet were on the same team last year and I know how hard we worked together. That means my team is going to have to work just as hard if not harder this year. In the end, it's a game and we don't need to lose sight of that, but if you're in it, I hope you're in it to win it.

    Hey guys, I'm back for another year and I am in a better place in my life that I can spend more time on it than I did last year. Overall, I bring creativity and common sense to the table, and I like to think I'm pretty even keeled throughout. I've got some strong football knowledge and am looking forward to another year of fun. Oh yea, I enjoy pina coladas and long walks on the beach...even if their deserted.

    Well Tractor acted quickly and already locked in his spot so we're good to go on that front. I'll have a new thread (maybe 2) out tonight with some good information I'd like you all to read over.

    I will do the coin flip to determine who gets the 1st pick on Sunday, 1 week before the draft.
