Ok, I have a working name for the game: Lost and Out of My Mind. Still looking for alternatives.
The draft will commence at 9:30, and will be kicked off by Anubis Oracles posting his pick in the comment box, followed by the Ginger Genocide (Steve has yet to give a team name, so I am taking liberties, inspired by the new MIA video).
I have received three lists thus far, so for those folks I will be posting their picks unless they show up tonight.
Remember, you can trade your picks. So far, no action on that front.
Good luck.

I like the name you picked! :)
I've chosen a name: "Plain-bellied Sneetches"
My team name is Yoda
Greetings, game players and stalkers. We are just about ready to go.
Yay!
Chip, go ahead you have five minutes or less.
Hurley
The Plain-bellied sneats is now on the clock
Jack!!
Jacob of Lockean Provisos goers next and picks Kate.
Next are the Constants
So predictable!
Sawyer (sorry Wendy!)
Tabula Rasa is next
Damn you all! OK, my pick is Desmond.
Tenor Boy (Zach) is next
Too slow-- this ain't the NFL Draft. We need a shorter clock.
There is a parallel discussion over on facebook on my status about the game if anyone is interested.
So far, Wendy is bitter about losing Sawyer.
Doc has not provided a list so unless he shows up, he will have to pick from the folks remaining after everyone else has picked--is that diabolical or what?
Zach as a minute left, if not then he has to pick when he shows up. If not at all, then he and Doc get whatever is left.
Yes, I am very bitter. I hate you all.
I'm with you, unless Tenor Boy -- are you time traveling or in your sideways universe?!
its on!
Next is Brandon and he chooses (via a list he gave me): Aaron, next is Doc.
Steve, it will move faster now that I know who is here and who is not. If Doc Jensen does not show up in the next five minutes, then I can speed through his non-picks and Zach's, and we can move pretty quickly. It may slow a little bit as we get past the obvious choices.
So, what do y'all think of the Aaron pick? Very interesting. But risky if we are in two worlds, as Aaron is onl y in one.
ahhhh, but perhaps he isn't wink wink nudge nudge... SAY NO MORE!
I think the boy's gonna live, in both worlds ... Good choice.
Aaron is in both! he jsut hasn't been born yet in the sideways world!
Excellent point, but if he is not yet born, then I will have to figure out how to count him.....
but i think he'll be bornby the end, Claire's pretty much ready to pop!
Doc is making a house-call apparently, Sara, so you are up. Then Ben has two choices and then back to Sara as we snake around.
well, that all depends on your stance on what defines life...
Let the pro-life/pro-choice debate begin!
I concur, Chip, but just raising another complication for the fun of it.
I want Richard Alpert!
Jacob is doing his cork/wine bottle speech on the island right now. And I am uncorking a bottle right now. Coincidence?
Ben, want me to use your choices or will you go ahead?
how about half points if he's not born yet and if claire hasn't had a late term abortion...
One thing I know about tv, the baby never gets it
Good thing Claire didn't live in Oklahoma ...
Ben, you have one minute and then I put in your original choices.
I'll take Jungle Boy for 1000 Trebek!
Is he Aaron? Is he Locke? Is he Jacob? Is he the MiB?
Only time will tell!
Ok, Ben, your next choice is Claire, right?
and for my second choice, i will take mama Claire Littleton!
Ok, Sara, back to you and then Brandon and then Wendy since Doc and Zach are in absentia
My next pick is WALT!
Ben takes some gambles as we don't know who jungle boy is or even if he is real. And Claire is likely to die on the Island and perhaps in childburth as well.
I can't believe the Doc is MIA. I heard from one of my FB friends who grew up with Dan Snierson-- had a whole connection thing going on...
Brandon, you are here, so you want to pick or shall I use your list?
I am disappointed by Doc, but he wanted to pick last anyway. So, he can pick after we have all picked. Takes some of his advantage away.
I am young, but am I foolish?
Just keep picking from my list. I like Walt as a pick, pretty sure bet he lives in both realities.
Ok, Brndon picks Sun.
Wendy, you are next.
Brandon we have similar strategies because I was going to pick Aaron & Walt :-)
Drum roll please - I'm picking dear old Henry Gale. I mean Benjamin Linus. :-O
Outstandingly fun choice, Wendy, now you have to root for some serious redemption. Plus Doc picked Ben as a possible candidate!
The Constants are next.
ohh... that was my pick- can't believe no one picked him sooner! Guess you got me back!
The Snake system can bite back, as the Constants found out.
Jin
Jacob picks Frank the pilot, Steve G is next.
Is everybody here on facebook? It's getting hard to keep track of actual picks among all the conversation. Was thinking we could converse on facebook and save the thread for picks. Or maybe I'm just being a pain.
my wife can't watch the facebook thread... she's not a friend of steve's.
Sayid!!
For my FB friends, if you go to my status line for earlier today when i mentioned the draft, we have a string of comments there
We are going multi-program with comments here and fb, Chip. Your turn after Steve just tossed his second draft pick down a well.
Jae Lee is my first pick
Wow, going obscure. Wasn't he thrown out a window?
I have a pick in mind that you guys are all overlooking, but will have to sit on it.
Daniel Farraday / Widmore !!
Jae Lee is the baby isn't it?
Damn, damn, damn! Thought Daniel was mine!
Miles.
I am busy--someone go to the lost wikipedia and see if Jae Lee is the kid or the supposed father.... Chip, that is your job...
Steve, you are on the clock.
who's turn is it?
crap, daniel was miiiiiine Too!
that should be sun and jin's baby as my choice,any mercy here???
Miles, it is, and Jacob picks Rose as he was going to pick Miles but Steve grabbed him (thanks for thwarting Jacob).
I think it's ok to count Jae as their baby.
Leave me some good ones!!
Sure, we will give Chip the benefit of the doubt to the Balkans scholar who is unfamiliar with Korean names. (although I could be wrong ;))
well technically it is the old boyfriend who was thrown out the window it turns out. But my intention was to pick the baby...
The Constants turn.
and I think we can take back Chip's tiebreaker that he had earned for the break we are giving him. The dumbass award for the second round goes to Chip.
thank you all... those korean names are a bitch!
Whew... the constants pick THE CONSTANT: Penny!
If the Constants steal mine, I'm going to be PISSED!!!
She was on my list, but not the steal. I'm wondering if this is who Steve was referring to --- I pick ... JOHN LOCKE! :D
That would have been my first or second round pick--Penny. Not a candidate but a survivor.
And Wendy picks another half-dead person.
Is John Locke pining for the woods?
Yes, us heartless bitches profiting off the shitty economy live on the edge ...
Brandon picks Eloise! Sara, you are next.
Yes, Penny was always one of my top picks, but I went with Jin because he "may" be a candidate... David probably would have went with Penny for second pick.
dang, I wanted ELoise!!
I wonder if your wife is following this closely enough--you like the gray haired spunky ladies?
I pick Charles Widmore.
I'm kind of hoping Widmore dies. (Sorry ...)
Sara picks Widmore, who is sure to die on the Island with so many folks gunning for him, but likely to live in the new LA?
Ben, you are up, and you have two picks. You only gave me four, so you have to make the next two choices.
I'm a grey haired spunky lady!
I will take Zoe and Sarah Shepherd
Ok, so we now know that Chip digs older chicks. Good to know. Thanks, Lisa for joining us. And for putting up with Chip.
I am currently watching Hot Tub Time Machine. Hoping that reality provides answers for the Lost world. Its not working.
The young one goes for the hot older ladies. Not a surprise there. Indeed, three of his four picks are of a type.
Sara, your last pick.
Brandon's study of time travel is a season late.....
hey hey hey now, Zoe isn't a mom, as far as we know...
older than who??
Oooooh, send me his pic! Cougar roar!!!!! (j/k ...)
Eloise is older than we are.
My only hope for a candidate is that Smokey takes Jacob's place, so my last pick is SMOKEY!!
yikes!
Good answer. You'd make a good lawyer.
Ben, all are older than you by a decade or more. I was watching Sheila Kelly on LA Law before you were born.
dang@!! smokey.
By "place" I mean wreaking devastation on the world :-)
I'm going with Vincent the dog. No snarky remarks, please ...
oh shit, did i jump ahead of someone?
Sara rolls the dice with Smokey. very impressive. Very dicey.
Brandon picks Dr. Chang, who we know is alive in LA, but we really don't know what happened after the bomb went off on the Island. Nuked, I think.
woof
Damn, I thought I was going to get away with Vincent!
Wendy, Vincent is a much beloved choice, and you stole him from Steve. Nice job. Predicable given your fb updates, but still nice.
Constants, you have one last choice.
Is it me?
Yes, it is you.
I almost took Dogen. We know he's alive in the LA world anyway and he appears relatively safe. But the same goes for many other characters who died on the island but exist in LA (Libby, Charlotte, Shannon, Boone, etc.).
Ilana, for the win!
Good point, Sara, but then again, John Locke fits into that category as well :)
Ilana, another one-lifer.
Jacob's last choice is, how romantic, Bernard. So Jacob has Rose and Bernard. What a softie. Too bad he didn't get Vincent to have the whole family.
Ok. We have Steve and then Chip and we are done.
hey now, emillie de ravin is only six years my senior. With my charm and smarts she would be no problem... :p
Yes, but she is Australian, so that puts her out of your league.
Now I am confused. Thought Dr Chang had to survive in both worlds since he made the videos. He also needs to lose his arm.
Penny & Desmond's child is looking good :-)
Time travel is confusing, Brandon. We can debate for the next couple of weeks who lived after the bomb, but Chang should be dead.
Steve, are you going to post everybody's picks somewhere so as characters DIE we can laugh at each other, and make silly comments, etc.?
Steve G, you are on the clock.
Really torn between Nadia and Pierre Chang. I'm going with Chang.
Didn't Brandon pick Chang?
Change was chosen already.
According to Hot Tub Time Machine, time travel is easy. Just need lots of Whiskey, Chevy Chase, and a hot tub.
Chang was too.
p.s. Sorry for the slow last pick, I missed that you had picked Bernard on behalf of Jacob.
Sorry about that. I did a search, but messed up. Alright then, the romantic couple of Sayid and Nadia
Chip, you have the last choice. Rock us with your wisdom.
Kate, Frank, Rose, Bernard? I'm happy with that. I won't get The Chosen One, if there even is a Chosen One, but I'll bet I get four verified survivors.
Yes, Wendy, my next blog post, tomorrow, will scout each team and consider their chances. I will bring on the snark, as I know you would want me to do.
i'm nominating for another term of eternity.... Jacob!!
Thanks for coordinating Steve. I am off to Oprah tomorrow. Looking forward to next week's episode and to see who gets knocked off! Hope it's not us.
Nice gamble, Chip. Thanks for playing folks. This is going to be heaps of fun. I will email the two missing folks and let them know they have to pick from the dregs.
And I will post tomorrow the results of the draft and a scouting report of each team's chances.
So I've got Hurley, Korean baby, Daniel Farraday/Widmore, and Jacob
And my pleasure, guys.
That was fun. Off to watch Glee on the DVR!
why do i feel like i'm going to be snarked the most ...
thank you Steve - great idea - this is gonna be a fun month!
Thanks Steve, this was great! Looking foward to your snark. I've preempted a bit with my facebook status just now...
Yep, Chip, you have a great team.
and no, Wendy, probably not you. I will probably tease either Jacob or Steve the most. Just because.
That was Great! Thanks for bringing some light into the deep, dark and depressing time that is Exam Period at McGill!
Now how bout some Polar Front Theory, any takers?
I'm just bummed I'm going to have to wait a whole week after it's broadcast to see the finale...
Oh, and thanks for warping my blog's stats for the day ;)
Oh, and you guys forgot at least one sentimental favorite that I would have picked. But I will wait until Doc and Zach pick before I reveal that one.
Damn! I wanna know NOW. Ok, we'll wait. Is it Juliet? Charlie? Libby? OK no, we'll wait.
Well goodnight all. And good luck!
Is there a waiver wire period? I want to drop my last pick and take a free agent.
I don't think so. I said no waivers in the rules. But I may re-think if the rest of the folks think it is ok. Certainly no pickups after the next show begins to air.
But you will have to wait until our two missing players get their pick of the dregs.
