LOTCB Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Seriously, it's not brain surgery here. Stay at 3 or pick another spot and let's get this thing rolling by next week before people DO forget or lose interest Or we just use a random draft generator which takes a few min and we begin drafting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aylbert Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 How are we still at #3? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRASHER Posted August 17, 2008 Author Share Posted August 17, 2008 How are we still at #3? Manta fell into a coma see why I don't go crazy trying to get this started 10 weeks before the season??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRASHER Posted August 17, 2008 Author Share Posted August 17, 2008 Alright seeing how silly this is getting (and enjoyable ) this is getting... Manta's got till 11pm tonight to make his pick or just get slotted into the #3 slot anyway an autopick in the pick selection... gotta love it! :argh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRASHER Posted August 18, 2008 Author Share Posted August 18, 2008 So I stomped my foot down and gave Manta the #3 pick, also of course asking Brian who wants the #4 pick... so Has... you're up... make it count (I also know what Iggy is taking with the #1 pick so we can start drafting too if y'all want, since there seems to be a modified hurry about it....)

NJDevs4978 Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 (edited) I wanted to drop back one or two but figured it was best to stay at five...hopefully the others can make their selections tomorrow and we can get this rolling without the auto positioning Edited August 18, 2008 by Hasan4978 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRASHER Posted August 18, 2008 Author Share Posted August 18, 2008 U-Dog also opts to stay where he is (dammit I was hoping to move up to 6 or 7) since I couldn't I move down to 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MantaRay Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 When is the live draft? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRASHER Posted August 18, 2008 Author Share Posted August 18, 2008 When is the live draft? Probably starting as soon as people pick the Farooqing draft order (should be soon... and it seems we already know who the #1 and #2 picks will be) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MantaRay Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Probably starting as soon as people pick the Farooqing draft order (should be soon... and it seems we already know who the #1 and #2 picks will be) Please let me know the time and date so I can do this.

NJDevs4978 Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 (edited) When is the live draft? It's not a live draft, it's a board draft (again). If we start in the next couple of days we 'should' have enough time to run through it before the season. Fortunately I'll be able to look at picks during lunch this year though I'm still otherwise indisposed during work. And only three people left to pick their draft positions - ayl, DevilsMJ and Clown with Masked getting the leftover Edited August 18, 2008 by Hasan4978 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the long thread from this last year. Again, just notify everyone before it happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRASHER Posted August 18, 2008 Author Share Posted August 18, 2008 As long as I am running this league it will NEVER be a live draft it's impossible to get 12 people in the same place at the same time on the internet and the dynamic of the post by post draft to me is always fun and amusing... and it's DIFFERENT...I'm in 4 leagues this year and any and all mixing up I can do all the better!!

It is entertaingly chaotic and I look forward to the texts that we will send 'your pick is up' and my infamou$ call to you when I was at Foxwood$ to phone in a selection: Now THAT is dedication!!! So the only thing left to say is:: CMON AYLBERT CMON DEVIL$MJ and.... CMON ME! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aylbert Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 I really don't want to be 8. But this draft is the most unpredictable drafts, so I think I have to go as high as possible... So put me down for 8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the concept, I wish I could do it in hockey but with 20 teams and less than a month from the time the league gets filled till the start of the season it'd just be too much of a pain to finish it before the season. Maybe this year I'll scale back the number of teams in that league though, cause too many of them were dead teams last year. The most frustrating times with the board draft are when three or four different people are around but the one that needs to make the pick isn't, then by the time that one guy makes a pick the other ones that come after him aren't around. Speaking of which looks like this one's going to be another delay. How long do we give DevilsMJ before slotting him in? He hasn't even logged into the board in a week.

CRASHER Posted August 19, 2008 Author Share Posted August 19, 2008 We need to put a move on this... so he has till I get back from hockey tonight (anytime before 8 and 9pm).. then we just move into actual drafting and I know what Iggy's #1 pick is so it's all good!!

My proposal to keep the draft moving is find 3 people in the draft (one who picks early, one in the middle and one late) to be a person to receive picks in case that person cannot be online, so that will keep most aspects of te draft moving, and this will be especially good for Labor Day Weekend coming up.

CRASHER Posted August 20, 2008 Author Share Posted August 20, 2008 Well I'm back from hockey and he ain't picked his spot... so he gets the next spot (I think #9 right?) so... I'll give him till morning... them PM him... if he does not answer said PM in one day it's CMON TEAM FOURTEEN!! I don't want to have to be a goddamn babysitter here with people and telling them to draft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
