Ultimate Draft II (Congrats to Roy for winning Best Overall)

[Edgar]

This is the team to fear.

Barack Obama - Author
Controls the most powerful army in the world and has control of the "button"

David Stern - Wild Card
This Power hungry minipulator has been plotting for global domination for years.

Dora the Explorer - Explorer
She has taken out kings, wizards, witches, evil kings, trolls, and thieving foxes.  She can handle anything you got.

George Castanza - Philosopher
Every conquiring group needs a lier.  He is the greatest.  (It's not a lie if you believe it.)


Greatest American Hero - 80's TV Character
Super Power House.  
  
Jay Leno - TV Host
He has taken on big names for many jobs.  All have been vanquished to another channel.  

King Midas - Monarch
Any good conquering group needs money.  With the golden touch, my group has an unending pit of gold  to use.

Professor Glickman - Comic Strip Character
The scientist of the group.  

Saint Patrick - Celtic
He took care of the snakes in Ireland, not he will take care of the snakes of those who stand in our way.

Stone Cold Steve Austin - Wrestler
The negotiator.  Agree with him and have a beer or be hit with a stunner.

I walked into this part of the draft promising myself that I would go over-the-top-bad-guy and defend my team to the death on each and every category. After seeing that team, I think I'll be passing on this round.... Give that man the 10,000 dollars

No way I can refute this team in this category
I cannot see him losing this
Dora is my girl in this round.

specially with this guy not in competition

[Redz]

OK...I think Redz Razers have some pretty good ammo for this category.  First and foremost

This freakishly large and angry lizard crushes whole cities with his bare hands...err claws, eats skyscrapers for breakfast, breathes fire on the poor pathetic conquered, and has a scream capable of blowing up some heads based on its decibel level alone.

In short:  He's badass (especially in those hard to conquer Asian parts of the world).

Next up:

Vlad the Impaler, aka Vlap Teppes, aka Vlad Dracula

Vlad was not content with merely ruling.  He liked to throw in some good torture, and was particularly fond of impaling the masses who defied him (or glanced at him sideways).  And when he died he became the master of all vampires - Vlad Dracula.  A ruthless and immortal bloodsucker, Vlad is more than capable of picking up any pieces Godzilla may leave behind.


The rest are basically unnecessary but nice to have around just in case.

Andre the Giant

Fairly superfluous, but nice to have a resident ass-kicking giant.  Mortal though he may be, he will crush you with his bare hands.

Other notes:

Captain Merrill Stubing:  Capable of going rogue at any time.  You hop on board for a love cruise and you wind up like this (a little gruesome if you're squeamish)

Larry Bird: Nice to have around if you need a clutch shot to destroy the world.  Plus he could talk some mean trash.

Douglas Adams:  Could concoct a scenario where a mouse farting in Lubbock could cause a Walmart to spontaneously implode in Peoria.

Confucius and Warren Coolidge:  Keeping it real.

Guy Smiley:  Will report your impending doom for you, in terms you can easily understand (and actually learn something from) with a big smile on his face.

Bill the Cat:  Hacks up a furball on your conquered, hapless left foot.  

ACK!!!
White flags are available now.

They will not conquer.  They will just destroyed. 




King Midas wants to know how much do you think a golden Godzilla will be worth?

[wdleehi]

This just in.




Obama has just received the Nobel Conqueror award for 2010. 

[nickagneta]

All this talk of conquering men and countries and the moon.

Wilt Chamberlain conquered 10000 WOMEN. You think that's easy, go home and try to conquer your girlfriend or wife!!!

[Redz]

Talk up your conquerors if you have not already.  I'll post a poll tonight (late)

As to wdleehi: Go ahead and geld Godzilla, he'll just breathe fire on himself and cover all below with molten gold.

[StartOrien]

When does the free agency for this start? I've got someone in mind.....

[Roy Hobbs]

Thank you to everybody who voted for my team for smartest.  I'm going to sit out the World Conquerors category, and throw my vote behind somebody else.  Who, I don't know yet.

(I will say, though, that Bill Russell has conquered the world 12 times [counting his gold medal] and conquered the college ranks twice -- who else can say that? Also, of course, Zeus is the only participant in this game who has actually conquered the entire world, taking control of it by over-throwing the Titans.)

So how much land can a melted down golden Godzilla  cover?   I say Tokyo is about the limit.  The new city of gold.

Lets be honest, Russell would not have time for that.  He is to concern about winning the basketball portion of this contest.

Mothra was awesome!

[wdleehi]

Obama in discussion with Godzilla.





Godzilla is not quite as impressive face to face like he is on the movie screen.   I guess the magic of movies makes him look taller (like Tom Cruise)

[Roy Hobbs]

Of the folks weighing in thus far, it comes down to wdleehi vs. Redz for me (staff bias!)  Since I can't in good conscience vote for Obama, I think Redz is my front-runner.

However, lots of teams haven't advocated for themselves yet, so it's not a sealed deal yet.
