Aight. Mystery Box it is!

 

[Thorrak]

Aight. Mystery Box it is!

You're all set! We've got three mystery boxes this round:

• @afro_lou
• @CTownBrewer
• @fourfarthing

Separately, @TBC noticed that I had managed to not track against @pointcity-homebrew who had said earlier that he wanted to participate. I've pinged him on the side to see if he is still interested - if he comes back, then we may have a late addition to this round. This also gives @Beerwildered a few more hours in case he wants to join the fun. I'm going to target ~3pm ET this afternoon to get things finalized unless either pointcity or beerwildered reaches out and needs a bit more time.

 

[pshankstar]

Can't wait to see the offers today! Thanks @Thorrak for managing this round!

 

[EcuPirate07]

Here’s to hoping I can get a top 1/2 pick. I don’t think I’ve ever been so lucky.

 

[dpinette2]

Here’s to hoping I can get a top 1/2 pick. I don’t think I’ve ever been so lucky.

Top 5, I’ll take a top 20! I have had zero luck in pick#....but absolutely amazing boxes every time! Love this poop

 

[Thorrak]

Alright! I heard back from @Beerwildered, so let's get this show on the road. First, the pick order:

THAT SAID. It feels a bit off to be the second pick in a round I'm running, so unless anyone objects I'm going to swap myself with a random person at the number (from 3-26) that I'll pick later this afternoon.

Now, to the offers!

Alright! I heard back from @Beerwildered, so let's get this show on the road. First, the pick order:

THAT SAID. It feels a bit off to be the second pick in a round I'm running, so unless anyone objects I'm going to swap myself with a random person at the number (from 3-26) that I'll pick later this afternoon.

Now, to the offers!

Very kind of you Thorrak! I’m good either way because it is completely random but I would feel the same way and want to do the same thing as you! I true gent right here!

 

[CrookedLaker]

Offers look great!

 

[user 263363]

Some fine offers in this round!

 

[TwistedGray]

This is a reverse order draft, right? Bottom up approach?

That’s how I read it

 

[3 Dawg Night]

Very kind of you Thorrak! I’m good either way because it is completely random but I would feel the same way and want to do the same thing as you! I true gent right here!

I agree. I'm good with @Thorrak keeping the 2nd pick.

But if you need to swap with me to soothe your conscience, I'll take one for the team.

 

[fourfarthing]

How do I pick first and still stress? Some one in CA is likely gonna be ticked is all I will say.

 

[EcuPirate07]

The randomizer still hates me, lol. Nice offers all!

 

[Thorrak]

Alrighty! I have drawn, and I got #11: @jekeane

I'll swap places with @jekeane who is now #2.

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

So glad to be back in! Good looking beers

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

Alrighty! I have drawn, and I got #11: @jekeane

You are one cool dude!

 

[LoneTreeFarms]

Alrighty! I have drawn, and I got #11: @jekeane

You sure you didn’t draw 16? props to you, that is definitely a stand up Move.

 

[Thorrak]

You sure you didn’t draw 16? props to you, that is definitely a stand up Move.

I mean - I have yet to get a bad offer in all the rounds I've participated in, and I don't see a single offer on the list I'd be upset with.

That's the nice thing with FotD - it's a pretty safe bet!

Exactly. No matter when you pick you get beer!!

 

[DrGMG]

Man, this round looks awesome. I may enter the next one after all.

 

[Thorrak]

As a reminder to everyone, pick lists are welcome/appreciated. If you want to send me a pick list, just send me a list of names in the order you want them picked. Example:

DrGMG
Thorrak
LoneTreeFarms

The system used to track FotD rounds has the ability to track picklists built in, so it makes things easier come pick day (plus - you get what you want, even if you aren't around!)

 

[TwistedGray]

I'll send you my list shortly, hang tight.

 

[TheDudeLebowski]

Tick! Tick! Tick!.....

 

[pshankstar]

Submitted my laundry list, I mean pick list yesterday since I may be out of cell service for the later half of the day tomorrow. Sorry @Thorrak for the long list to enter.

copy + paste + done

But seriously, thank you!

 

[jerbrew]

When I'm this far down the list it'll be a near miracle if I even remember to stop by and pick. Which means I may get something picked out for me again. It's definitely worked out for me in the past .

There is no way I could sit down and put together a list of 23 choices within an hour or two. My only pick list is to pick the person as far away from me as possible. Since that's what you east coasters seem to do to me on the regular. There's no one in Nevada or New mexico? Always Pennsylvania or Massachusetts?

Just kidding...mostly. I enjoy sharing the spoils of living in an area with ridiculous housing prices with my beer drinking brethren.

I thought we talked about making sense at me. Don't do that, it makes me look bad in front of the kids.

Picking two I don't want might be just as hard though...

Well, I am looking for a new neighbor...very reasonably priced.
