so pimp make your pick and then will you be ready to pick for Moe if Darkhorse shows and i'll be still up then to pick
I'll take Derek Anderson with my first pick. Still deciding on the second pick. Are we skipping chrisjent twice?
I can pick, but to be fair, didn't we give Phi a second 10 hour block when we wrapped back around to him?
Just wondering - in case it was BobFinn* or RocketsPimp who expired their 10 hour limit - do they get a 2nd 10 hour for their other back to back pick then? In that case they would have a 20 hour limit. If they don't then I really don't see why anyone else should get a second 10 hour limit until theyu pick for the spot they got skipped at. So I say if you are skipped you dont earn a new 10 hour limit until you make the pick you got skipped for. I know we gave PSJ another 10 hour limit and I probably should have said something then, but if you give them another 10 hour limit then you would have to give the back to back pickers 20 hours as they dont have anyone between them, and then they wont be skipped at all. So I move to suggest that if you are skipped you dont earn back a new 10 hour limit until you have selected the pick you were skipped for. But if all are set to be waiting, waiting and waiting I guess we continue giving 10 hour limits all around the house. In another suggestion I think that those using up their 10 hour limit once should only get an 8 hour limit next time and so on. But I guess I'm being strict.
Sorry moe. I kept trying to find someone with more upside potential at this point in the draft, but Mehmet Okur stands out with his height, shooting touch and the minutes he will be getting. Picking him leads me to a question about players gaining additional position eligibility like in our baseball league. Mehmet is going to be starting alot of games as the center, but nba.com has him listed only as a forward. Are we going to set a game limit(I propose 5) for which a player can gain position eligibility?
historically the bookend picker (Pimp and Finn in this case) only get a 10 hr limit i agree with Heath and would be tougher and half the time limit for someone who is picking and already one pick behind/missed but i guess we can't change it now, so 10 more hours for Jent.. night all i guess Pimp - whats your email again and i'll send you a short list
I agree that the bookend should only get one 10 hour limit, but you then see the difference in picking in those spots. You overstep your limit and you are skipped 2 picks with no brakes in sight (as in if all the others happened to be on a lot of picks could be taken before they get back on to pick both picks very late). While the one picking before/after first get one 10 hour stop, then gets only skipped one pick, and that pick only skipped 2 spots, before they get 10 new hours to make pick #2 on time and with that the pick that got skipped. I guess we should give jent 10 hours now, since we did it with PSJ, but I say we change it after that so we can speed this thing up a bit.
I agree. After this time, you only get one 10 hour period and then we skip all of your picks until you actually make an appearance. Close to 20 hours of waiting on a person is not cool.
That wouldn't exactly be fair to all managers, especially those that pick near the beginning and end of each round because it can come back around(same people recently picked) to them in a matter of minutes whereas those in the middle are more likely to have to wait. To give everyone a fair allowance of time, I suggest cutting the waiting period in half each time you breach it. So once the 10 hour period has been broken, you get 5 hours on the next pick and so on as each waiting period is breached.
Everyone needs to chill. We have 10 days, or 240 hours left. There are 70 picks left. That's approximately 3.5 hours per pick. In comparison, we've already made 98 picks in 216 hours, or 2.2 hours per pick. We'll make it.
I'm here... will be here for the next hour or two working on something - the longest you'll wait is 20-30 mins. If I leave, I'll forward a small list to Pimp. I have 1 player on my list at the moment. Hehe.
We are now talking about people that broke the 10 hour limit. It is not like you are being passed over for no reason. As it is now it is already unfair to the guys that had the first and last pick as you have no stop break at all. Or it is unfair the other way as you get 20 hours. Surely we can find some system wherein you dont lose 20 picks if you are not on after your limit is out, but you have to remember that this is after you wasted a 10 hour limit. You want us to be drafting in November? I have a new suggestion then that combines my earlier one with some stops for those being skipped. 1) You have 10 hours to make your pick 2) If you have not made your pick within 10 hours your pick is skipped and the next person gets to pick 3) You will not be given a new time limit for your next pick until you show up and make the pick that has been skipped 4) To not have you lose several spots over a rush of picks, each pick following a skipped drafter will be one hour apart. This way if you are skipped after 10 hours the next guy on the list can make his pick. Say he makes it 25 minutes after the 10 hour limit expired (10.25), then you add another hour and the next person skipping the one not picking can pick after another hour (11.25). You continue like this until the guy skipped makes his pick then you go back to the usual time limit. Of course the ones up after a skipped guy also has a 10 hour limit, but can not pick until one hour has passed since the last pick. If you are skipped several picks with a system like this, then I say you deserve to lose several spots in the order. If you check the draft before you go to bed and after you wake up, before you leave for work/school, after you come home from work/school, then there is really no need that the 10 hour limit should be breaked by much if at all.
I agree that we will probably make it as most does not take to long to get their pick done and thus saves time for those that do. It is still frustrating to wait 20 hours to move up the draft a couple of spots though. But I will shut up now.
