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

[InfinityIggy]

I choose:

House (Hakan) Loob
Slippery as an eel

 

[Fig]

House Button - We are proud to select

 

[Skobel24]

House Button - We are proud to select

This might be my favorite.

 

[Skobel24]

Made a decision on House Regehr. MM, let me know if you'd allow this, or if it's a bit too... 'hostile'.

Sigil: it will basically be the Boltons flayed man, but with a Hemsky jersey on the flayed body.

Words: "My mother taught me not to throw hits at the injury-prone. But my father taught me, aim for their head."

I can virtually guarantee that's way too many words.

 

[Wayne Primeau]

Can I go now?

Thanks. I really liked the combo. I am happy I got my guy.

Seems too wordy.

A few ideas...

House Regehr: The furnace, weeping and smashing of 83 (Hemsky's number) ~ Matthew 13:42 reference, tunnel of death reference and Hemsky reference. Or, "For sureness, the weeping and smashing of 83"

Different reference:
"Do not let sorrow come higher than your knees". (Reference to his leg injuries he over came and perhaps reference to him knocking players to the ground?)

 

[Fig]

Can I go now?

Yup.

Sorry, I forgot to message you that it's your turn.

what AS said. There is no way that fits on a banner in a 125x125 avatar and is legible. Also, I am not doing sigils. Might I recommend just the simple "tunnel of death" for Regehr?

Oh, I thought there were sigils. Nevermind then. As for the words, I'll come up with something else.

 

[Wayne Primeau]

Ok. Here's my pick.

HOUSE SERGEI -- Where are my Makarovs?

 

[Lunatik]

Ok. Here's my pick.

HOUSE SERGEI -- Where are my Makarovs?

Makarov is already taken

 

[Wayne Primeau]

Makarov is already taken

Yep, I noticed.

HOUSE BARTKOWSKI -- The Owskis send their regards.

 

[Skobel24]

Okay, got it.

House Regehr - "Tread lightly"

 

[Fig]

Oh, I thought there were sigils. Nevermind then. As for the words, I'll come up with something else.

Random ideas.

The tunnel of death is Robyn's hood
Please stand back from the boards
The best whine comes from the region of board, oo.

A train leaves the the Flames bench, how long till it hits you in the corner?


EDIT: Oops, never mind. Slow to post.

 

[Skobel24]

For anyone still wanting an avatar, I had a few runner ups that wound up losing out to Regehr. All of the words are similar to a house from Game of Thrones houses (aside from Byron). Feel free to take one if you want it.

House Sutter - Our roots grew deep
House Bouma - Iron on Ice
House Billins - For only one season
House Fletcher - Light the way
House Vernon - Ever Vigilant
House Conroy - Burning Bright
House Byron - Aim for the crest

• 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.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Deebz is such a hipster.

 

[Bosnian Beast]

Since we're still waiting on two, I'll get my words in now.

House Backlund - Selke Smooth

That's ****ing brilliant. That's right up there with Tkachuk for the best one.

House Backlund - Selke Smooth

Noice.

Sounds far better than Selke smooth skating. Good call. A much less congested phrase.

 

[WeegarUnderwood]

Klimpossible.

Eventually, everything connects
Morgan just fine

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

Thanks for the help 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

Hey Meth, I'm gonna go with

House Klimchuk: To Life, Love and Loot

 

[BigRangy]

Thanks for the earlier suggestions but I'm going to go with

House Kylington - You can't hammer tin into iron
