    I don't care when, but this 1 round per day rate is very annoying.

    I don't care when we have this meeting, but this draft needs to end soon. If you can't make it, set yourself to auto or give your info to pued, dvauthrin, or nomar or whoever. If you're not sure if you'll be there or not, at least leave yourself on auto just in case you won't be around. I know we can do it...for the love of all that is holy, let's get this draft over with!

    To those who advocate the full 12 round draft in the sim league, this is just a small taste of what it would be like. And our league would be with 29 people......it is a good idea, but it will be torture, sheer torture.

    It doesn't matter to me as long as you set yourself on auto when you go to sleep.

    Franchise,

    I am available to draft for you, so that this league does not continue to be held up. E-mail me at pjaeger@jump.net with your information if you wish. I would suggest you do something, because the remainder of the league is becoming a tad upset.

    Well, there are only five of us now who aren't on auto. It shouldn't be that hard to get five people together, should it?

    So how about Smeg's suggestion of 7 tonight? Seriously, if we are all there, it won't take any longer than an hour. It's not like one hour is going to screw up your night or weekend.

    Let's make a commitment to be there. If not, then for the love of god, <u><b>go auto</b></u>.


    Cat, Smeg, Behad, franchise3 & anyone else not on auto, respond below.

    I'm on top of things, fadeaway. However, I'm much more available all day long instead of just in the evenings. If the others can make their picks as the day goes by, I'll be ready.


    Evenings are family time at my house, and I intend to honor that.


    Last night, I kept checking and checking, but if one person is gonna use most of his 24 hours to pick, there is nothing I can do about that. It got to me around midnight last night. I made my pick at three this morning.


    Most everyone here has cause some type of delay. Franchise, however, has been leading the league in time wasted. Get him inline, and the rest will fall into place.

    Guys, to get this to happen you need people to sign up. Do something like this

    8:00 pm - 9:00pm: PhiSlamma, Finn, Fadeaway
    9:00 pm - !0:10 pm: Jamma, Fade, Smeg
    10:00 pm -11:00pm

    Then you will know who can be there and when. Then ask the rest to go auto on the best time slot. This takes away all the guessing.

    BH, I'd much rather make picks during the day too. However, picking behind smeg screws that up for me because of the time zone difference.

    I agree that franchise has been causing most of the delays, though. He's not making a very good personal impression in this draft.

    But you're wrong, Crisco. With the exception of Tuesday, I've been available every evening. I've been in the chat room more this week than all of the last year. I'm doing double duty between family and draft.

    What's the big deal, anyway? The baseball draft was an agonizing month long ordeal. This draft has gone faster than that one. We'll get there people.

    I'm at work today, but monitoring the draft thru the email updates. When it's my turn, I'll call my wife and get it done. Tonight, I'll check in every 30 minutes, just like I've been doing all week.

    Franchise, on the other hand.......:rolleyes:
