Well guys it's finally here. I'll post a draft pick every 20-30 minutes. The first challenge will be posted tonight following the draft. Trowa's Team Round 1: Monstblitz Round 2: GridIronKing34 Round 3: denderfeliac Round 4: Rocky Raccoon Round 5: PSG Round 6: DrAstroZoom Round 7: Finfangirl Round 8: Colorado Dolfan Round 9: BIG E Skeet84's Team Round 1: pennphinfan Round 2: SICK Round 3: GISH Round 4: Stitches Round 5: 2k5 Round 6: Tractor Traylor Round 7: Finascious D Round 8: dukane5 Round 9: Hurricane Draft is over!
The first pick of the 2nd annual ThePHINS Survivor...................... Monstblitz! Monst was an absolute powerhouse last year. Had BIG E's team won the team portion last year he was my pick to win the whole thing. Considering he was on Trowa's team last year this was a fairly predictable pick, but that just means Monst was worth the 1st overall pick.
The second pick of the 1st round and 2nd overall pick of the 2nd annual ThePHINS Survivor...................... pennphinfan! Probably the best player as far as pure challenge ability and random talents. Played last year very clean which came to bite him in the end. It will be very interesting to see if penn can dominate the team portion again and make it even further this year. If anyone can do it it's this guy.
The first pick of the 2nd round and 3rd overall pick of the 2nd annual ThePHINS Survivor...................... GridIronKing34! Our winner from last year once again gets taken very high in the draft. The most controversial player late in the game last year is going to have to be even craftier to win it all this year. Solid at most everything, we'll see if he lives up to his draft status this year.
The second pick of the 2nd round and 4th overall pick of the 2nd annual ThePHINS Survivor...................... SICK! A proven leader and performer *wink wink* SICK received the worst backstab in the game last year. Between his and Skeet's leadership abilities there's no chance this team will have a bad showing at any challenge. Very underrated talent for random games that was somewhat overshadowed by the hilarious **** talk he provides.
The first pick of the 3rd round and 5th overall pick of the 2nd annual ThePHINS Survivor...................... denderfeliac! Wow what a difference a year makes. The last overall pick of last years game should prove to any players that get taken late that if you kick enough *** for your team, they will recognize it and take you far. An overall good challenge player and very good survivor strategist, we'll see if dender can duplicate if not exceed his success without the ability of coming out of nowhere that he had last year.
The second pick of the 3rd round and 6th overall pick of the 2nd annual ThePHINS Survivor...................... GISH The first "surprise" pick in the draft as he is the first new person to be selected. GISH brings insane graphic ability to his team, and if Skeet was willing to take him this high in the draft with such good talent left on the board, he probably brings a lot more than that.
The first pick of the 4th round and 7th overall pick of the 2nd annual ThePHINS Survivor...................... Rocky Raccoon! Rocky was the definition of clutch for the MM's last year. This guy carries a four leaf clover in his pocket or something. Like penn, Rocky played a very straight game that got him very far but not quite giving him the win. A late pick last year, his late game experience makes him a proven player in this game.
The second pick of the 4th round and 8th overall pick of the 2nd annual ThePHINS Survivor...................... Stitches! Skeet keeps his current trend of drafting new players selecting his good friend Stitches. As far as I know Stitches is a solid gamer, which translates well to a lot of these challenges. If it weren't due to him getting to me a little too late last year, he would've been a veteran at this game. On my first glance Stitches was my pick to go the farthest out of all the new people. In hindsight I really wish I could've gotten rid of Mizfit for him last year....but that's why I locked in every player this year.
The first pick of the 5th round and 9th overall pick of the 2nd annual ThePHINS Survivor...................... PSG! This was the first draft pick I see where I think that person might've deserved to go higher. PSG played in every single challenge we had last year, which only GIK34 can say besides him this year. A solid competitor who expects themselves to be in the final 3 again, getting him in the middle of the draft is a steal.
The second pick of the 5th round and 10th overall pick of the 2nd annual ThePHINS Survivor...................... 2k5 The oldest vet this game (as far as times played), and someone I would have taken very early in the draft last year. He wasn't the most active player, but when he does play he's one of the most powerful players in the game. He has talents in a lot of things which Skeet obviously recognized. He is my wild card as far as returning players. If he's active, he'll be a major steal in the draft.
The first pick of the 6th round and 11th overall pick of the 2nd annual ThePHINS Survivor...................... DrAstroZoom! Trowa once again picking up good talent in the middle rounds. Zoom works hard and knows survivor. A self proclaimed trivia guru, he saw how unforgiving this game can be last year. Now that he's back in the game don't look for him to go as quietly as he did in the past.
The second pick of the 6th round and 12th overall pick of the 2nd annual ThePHINS Survivor...................... Tractor Traylor! Tractor probably provided two of the most hilarious moments in the entire game on the same challenge. I will never forget it Tractor is an overall solid player and good value this late in the draft. He also said he'll be more active this year so it will be interesting to see if he'll be able to move up into that power player role this year.
The first pick of the 7th round and 13th overall pick of the 2nd annual ThePHINS Survivor...................... Finfangirl! Ultra competitive with a medical and sports background, I'm very interested in seeing how far our first female contestant fares in our game. She is my biggest wild card for new players, as she might be able to add another layer into the social aspect of this game.
The second pick of the 7th round and 14th overall pick of the 2nd annual ThePHINS Survivor...................... Finascious D! I apologize to most of the newer people (who didn't write much in the path to draft thread) because I just don't know what your talents are. But you definitely are old enough to buy beer!
The first pick of the 8th round and 15th overall pick of the 2nd annual ThePHINS Survivor...................... Colorado Dolfan! A "jack of all trades", Colorado is friends with an actual survivor contestant.
The second pick of the 8th round and 16th overall pick of the 2nd annual ThePHINS Survivor...................... dukane5! When I was looking for players in the main thread I believe dukane was the first to respond. We had a little conversation back and forth with PMs and I came away thinking that he's going to be a steal to whatever team gets him. I believe skeet got amazing value with this pick.
The first pick of the 9th round and 17th overall pick of the 2nd annual ThePHINS Survivor...................... BIG E! What the hell how did E slide ALL the way to the 9th round? He has captain experience, plays one of the best social games of anyone in the game, and was active. This is even better value than the last pick IMO.
The second pick of the 9th round and the last overall pick of the 2nd annual ThePHINS Survivor..................... Hurricane! Hurricane from what I've gathered is active on the boards. Intelligent and confident, I wouldn't be surprised if we started seeing a trend of "Mr. Irrelevant" making a big splash in this game. Remember, last year the last overall pick was 5th place....and 5th in THIS draft.
I just would like to thank both of the awesome coaches who both btw were on my team my true value.....*****.
You won't be laughing when your covered wagons crash! You won't be laughing when the buzzards drag your brother's flags into rags! You won't be laughing when your front lawn is spangled with epitaphs! You won't be laughing! yeah, its on.
Due to certain reasons Finascious D had to drop out. He is ok but won't have time sadly. Best wishes are with him. Trowa and Jordan have allowed him to be replaced by Imeister.
i'll change the team info as soon as I get confirmation from lmeister does lmeister even know about this yet?
First and foremost, best wishes to Finascious D's father on a speedy recovery. I know I speak for everyone on my team when I say he's in our thoughts. A shame he wont get to face the same humiliation the rest of you will. But don't let it be said I discriminate. Lmeister will receive just as much *** whoopin.
