Mad draft already

Some of the completed cabinets are going to be stuff of nightmares!!!

Should've had him as Minister of Propaganda or something like that

He'd be a terrible Minister of Defence.

He shall lead my finest warriors into battle with calm and precision.

Love Hicks.

This draft is gonna get so mad, I probably wouldn't be surprised if somebody picked Donald Trump as the prime minister, can you imagine that?

Lastrador · « **Reply #88 on:** October 10, 2017, 03:37:33 pm »

Oh, Bill Hicks is gone.

Told you fuckers this draft wouldn’t be political

Just to clarify though, the Ministers are meant to be good at their roles, even if you’ve got to use funky logic to come to that conclusion.

Who the fuck is Harold Barton? Sounds like a neighbours character with pretentions of being some sort of premiership footballing philosopher!

Good pick 'Jelly Belly'

How can you forget his hat-trick when Liverpool crushed League Champions Everton 7-4 at Anfield on 11 February 1933?

KingLuis10 · « **Reply #104 on:** October 10, 2017, 05:12:08 pm »

Might sound like a Neighbours character but that's a pick and a half from Harold! I love Richard Feynman, I could listen to that guy speak for hours and hours. Quite possibly the greatest teacher ever to have lived, the way he explains complicated processes in such simple language is incredible.

I'll be following this draft avidly, I feel. It has the potential to go off in some really interesting directions, with some mad variation on picks already. Kudos to whoever came up with the idea.

You're more than welcome to join mate!

Love the Escobar pick by the way

Klippity Klopp · « **Reply #108 on:** October 10, 2017, 06:36:50 pm »

It's tough as I don't know whether to pick people who would be actually good at the roles.

Or just go for funny picks just for LOLz.

But I feel the follow up draft might be more appropriate for that given we'll have people like Superman in charge of the country.

It's tricky.

Chakan · « **Reply #109 on:** October 10, 2017, 06:37:55 pm »

Ideally both. Because however funny a pick is I think some semblance of ability in the role is important.

BOOM or should I say BLOOM!

Klippity Klopp · « **Reply #112 on:** October 10, 2017, 07:26:27 pm »

I'm popping out.

If it comes to me, skip me and I'll pick later.

Does it really?

More calls have been made to state representatives since he took office than ever before, meaning that voters have a more vested interest in their politics.

There has been fantastic shows of unity as well.

I'm still trying to get my head around Graham Sourness sitting down with the US Secretary of Defence to discuss a two-state solution model for Israeli–Palestinian peace in the West Bank.

Got it. So incompetence in key positions is the key. So Hodsgson, Moyes and Titi should be shoo-ins.

Aaaarrrrggh, stupid competitive instinct. Any chance I can slide in at the bottom if there's anyone else who wants to come in as an 18th?

Klippity Klopp · « **Reply #119 on:** October 10, 2017, 08:49:26 pm »

Vishwa can go, if he's here.

Doesn't look like he's been on for a fair few hours though.

I'll pick later.
