Fantasy Draft IV

[DezNutz]

8th Pick .... Lilone

___________

My 9th pick will be the only pick that I will provide reason for at the time of drafting. While we have definitely had a checkered past, my last pre-rookie pick will be xxTaylorxx. She has proven herself to be a player of conviction and she sticks to her guns. Her experiences and these traits, among others, can be invaluable in a team environment.

Our 9th pick was a rookie himself not so long ago. in his short time in the game he has manage to make a huge number of enemies, mostly because his extreme need of attention which got him in trouble or made him seem like a good target to pick on. but he withstood it all, managed to make more friends then he made enemies and pulled some stunts that shadow some of the legends of the game (like run a ragtag gang to steal a half a billion from the US treasury)

Interviewing for the rookie pick i ask the prospects to name their mentor if any and their friends if any. Vane seems to mentor a big majority of those who found a mentor but Natsu name is mentioned second. but it seems Natsu is the first friend most of them find in the game and only for this small fact i think Natsu should have been snatched on the late 2nd or early 3rd round.

Natsu was tried out several times personally and does meet the main criteria's for the team and has a special skill I use regularly. Natsu's super power is knowing always the back story of anything that goes on in the game and that skill is invaluable.

so anyway, love him or hate him, Natsu/PFH is our #9 pick

Choosing our Rookie was a real team effort, recommendations came from Lana, Natsu and Vane, I did the interviews and Lana, Vane, TA, Zep and myself voted for their favorite (cant wait for Natsu to wake up, sorry). Our rookie prospects where outstanding, almost all of them replied the questionnaire we supplied and added extra details upon requests. So first I would like to thank all of them for being great and taking their time and effort into this process.

Specifically I want to thank
El Draque, Alexander Hawke, Kingmarz, Jack Roberts and Emeraldas who didnt make it as finalists for various reasons but where, never the less, great and I will be looking forward watching them grow and taking a bigger part in the game.

We had 3 finalists who came out very close as you are about to see. I am planning to give part of my earning from the draft to the two runner ups:
anne 7
bomont 6 (my personal favorite)
Pez 6

So our choice for team PP rookie pick is Lana's favorite Anne Bonny

On this note I want to thank all our team for this amazing experience and all out rookie prospects for making me feel this game and community have a bright future. special thanks to Shadowood for running the Draft for the 4th time, its not an easy task and we all appreciate his efforts and too all the team captains who kept fantasy draft IV entertaining and competitive as ever
