Darcs is in! That's 10!

Do I still have time to get my list in, Mike?

Yes!

Can you confirm that I got my list in?

Apparently, I can. Yes.

And you got mine, right?

I have intent from bralbovsky and Bluedevyl. Ronster is the only 2017 player who has not responded.

I have 13 lists! The draft begins now! (ish)

Draft Order:
Bill
Mike
Bluedevyl
Zen
Zombie
Akiva
Tahlvin
Kyle
Yancey
Darcs
Caz
Nadia
Flame

Round One:
Bill -- Buzz Aldrin (Legacy)
Mike -- Stephen Hawking (Legacy)
Bluedevyl -- Bob Dole (Legacy)
Zen -- Charlie Sheen (Legacy)
Zombie -- Devin Lima
Akiva -- Robert Mugabe
Tahlvin -- John McCain
Kyle -- Wilko Johnson
Yancey -- William "Refrigerator" Perry (Legacy)
Darcs -- Max Baer Jr. (Legacy)
Caz -- Queen Elizabeth II (Legacy)
Nadia -- Valerie Harper (Legacy)
Flame -- Donald Trump

Round Two:
Flame -- Vladimir Putin
Nadia -- Matt Cappotelli

Darcs -- Olivia Newton-John
Yancey -- Ric Flare
Kyle -- Sir David Attenborough
Tahlvin -- Shannen Doherty
Akiva -- Anthony Kennedy
Zombie -- Kim Jung-Un
Zen -- Dick Van Dyke
Bluedevyl -- George H.W. Bush

It’s fappening!

Round Three:
Bill -- Harry Belefonte
Mike -- Leah Bracknell
Bluedevyl -- Desmond Tutu
Zen -- Bob Barker
Zombie -- Val Kilmer
Akiva -- Prince Phillip
Tahlvin -- Barry Gibb
Kyle -- Beverly Cleary
Yancey -- Suge Knight
Darcs -- Marla Gibbs
Caz -- George W. Bush
Nadia -- Chris Mortensen
Flame -- Recep Tayyip Erdoğan


NOTE: Tahlvin originally picked Bobby Brown here, and I was positive he was dead so I pulled him. Bobby Brown gets re-inserted at the end of Tahlvin's list. My bad.

Round Four:
Flame -- Rodrigo Dutertre
Nadia -- Charlotte Rae
Caz -- Barbara Bush
Darcs -- Jimmy Carter
Yancey -- Sidney Poitier
Kyle -- Billy Graham
Tahlvin -- Yoko Ono
Akiva -- Angela Lansbury
Zombie -- Kirk Douglas
Zen -- Olivia de Havilland
Bluedevyl -- William Jefferson Clinton
Mike -- Salvatore DiMasi
bralbovsky -- Jim Brown


Interesting... I was slightly annoyed in Round Three that Zombie snatched up Val Kilmer, who was going to be my next pick. I was kicking myself for not putting him higher. But it all comes back around, because this round, I blocked him from picking up Leah Bracknell. If I HAD gotten Kilmer... I would have lost Bracknell. Great minds, I suppose.

Round Five:
Bill -- Keith Richards
Mike -- Carol Channing
Bluedevyl -- Jacques Chirac
Zen -- Carl Reiner
Zombie -- Vera Lynn
Akiva -- Barry Manilow
Tahlvin -- Mel Brooks
Kyle -- Larry King
Yancey -- Bill Cosby
Darcs -- Doc Severinsen
Caz -- Charles Koch
Nadia -- Tom Brokaw
Flame -- Bashar al-Assad


Friends to the very end, Mel Brooks and Carl Reiner get drafted at the same time in Round Five.

Round Six:
Flame -- Raul Castro
Nadia -- Terry Jones
Caz -- David Koch
Darcs -- Bob Einstein (Super Dave Osborne)
Yancey -- Dylann Roof
Kyle -- Jo Dee Messina
