Pre-Game Talk: 2017-18 Avatar Draft: CHECK YOUR INBOXES

[King In The North]

Please sir, I want some more. (Oliver Twist)
Sweet speedy skating
From Stockholm to Stockton/ From Stockholm to the Dome
Don't call me killing ton

Our Skates are Wind
We Do not Kyl

 

[Tkachuky]

Looked up some Sir Jurah quotes... i think Poirier and him can be relatable... both curing a disease type of thing.

"There is a beast in every man and it stirs when you put a sword in his hand"

Emile Poirier
There is a beast in every man

 

[Master Bill]

Surprised nobody picked Jon Gillies yet! I was torn between him and coach Gully.. but my pick is:

Jon Gillies
"I am the future"

 

[Skobel24]

Gamo, can I make a suggestion for your Kiprusoff avatar? House Ambrose words: "Never resting". The dude played like 72+ games every season. That would fit so well.

 

[Savoie92]

House Brouwer: We're all in this together

 

[Skobel24]

House Brouwer: We're all in this together

Dammit. I wanted Brouwer so badly. Was gonna go for House Codds words: "Though all men do despise us", and change it to "Though most fans do despise me"

 

[WeegarUnderwood]

I'm going to go with House Klimchuk.

Haven't thought of the words yet but I'll get them in soon. Any and all suggestions welcome for Klimmer

• Select a "house" and your "house words"
• Please PM the next poster on the list after you pick, it will help the draft go faster
• After being on the clock for 24 hours, the next poster can pick. Skipped posters can select once they come online and see it is their pick
• You can select a player and add the house words after. When you add your house words, please do so in a new post stating as such clearly as I won't be scouring the thread looking for edits and I'm not going to assume you want something just because you like someone's suggestion.
• If you select a player that is already selected, it will be an invalid selection and you will need to pick again. The draft will not wait for you to correct your pick. When you fix your selection, please do so in a new post as I will not go back to old posts seeking out edits.
• I will not make avatars putting down other organizations
• Due to some players having the same last names, I will use House Dougie & Freddie for the Hamiltons. I will use House Smith for Mike Smith and House Hunter for Hunter Smith.
• Posters can sign up for this at anytime, however those that did not post before the draft order was selected will be placed at the end of the line.

 

[Taranis]

I'll go with House Hunter: May you all be prey.

 

[L13]

Hey guys! I'll go with Mitchell Mattson: The Project Pick That Was Promised.

 

[SaintMorose]

Harvey the Hound
like regular hounds, but Harvey

 

[1989]

I'll go with House Hunter: May you all be prey.

Simplify it! "Prey for me."

 

[Fig]

I'm going to go with House Klimchuk.

Haven't thought of the words yet but I'll get them in soon. Any and all suggestions welcome for Klimmer

"To Life, Love and Loot." (Captain Morgan reference)

 

[Pirate King Luffy]

House Hiller


I'll think of a motto in a bit.

 

[Flames Fanatic]

I don't see anyone else having him, so I'll take Freddie Hamilton.

The Nightmare is Me

House Hiller


I'll think of a motto in a bit.

To Helvetica and back?

https://www.quora.com/What-is-Switzerlands-nickname


The red leather robber?
Man in the fire mask?

Yo, yo, yo, ness.

I'm going to go with House Klimchuk.

Klimpossible.

Eventually, everything connects
Morgan just fine

 

[InfinityIggy]

Holy crap I might actually get my guy.

 

[tmurfin]

House Hartley.

Motto: Chocolate fumes for our enemies

 

[Skobel24]

Holy crap I might actually get my guy.

Now I'm torn. When I'm up, do I take the guy I wanted, or try and take the one you wanted?

 

[Wayne Primeau]

Ahhh damn it. Someone took Hunter Smith? Man... I wanted to do "House Hunter: International".

 

[Skobel24]

It's been 48 hours now. Are we gonna move on?

 

[Skobel24]

[*]After being on the clock for 24 hours, the next poster can pick. Skipped posters can select once they come online and see it is their pick

It's been 48 hours since the last pick, both Sk8M8 and Tapu Debe had their 24 hour period pass.

House Regehr. I'll pick the words later. I've messaged the next in line.
