2016 Dynasty Draft Official Thread

[lethalweapon3]

I'd suggest a proposed rule that once a particular Squawk GM blows through their entire 8-hour period once without making a pick, that all subsequent rounds for said GM should be one (1) hour instead of 8. Keeps the ones semi-serious about drafting on their toes. Two hours max, if we're being nice. Besides, when they miss out they don't remember whether they blew through 1 hour or 8 hours or 24 hours anyway.

Yes, there's no need to rush things blah blah blah. (I did a calculation that suggested if every man, woman, and child took their full allotted 8 hours back when the Draft kicked off, we'd be done around October 1, or just in time for training camp.) And we all got busy lives blah blah blah.

But if it's been a crawl for the past several rounds due to one or two GM's inactivity, imagine how it'll get drawn out in the later rounds, when we're left to choose between Clyde Kadiddlehopper, Sum Ting Wong, and Butter McButterface and we have to wait 3-5 days to decide.

Sum ting's value is going up I heard.

RULE CHANGE

8. Time Limits: We'll start off with an 8 hour time limit for each pick (see note on nighttime shutdown). So when the person before you picks, you have 8 hours from then to make your selection or you are skipped. If you are skipped, the next person's clock starts and they have 8 hours. You may make up skipped picks at any time. Just post who you want when you get back to the thread. We may decrease time limit if the draft drags to a crawl and people aren’t expected to take that long if they are available. Draft moving smoothly, but we'll decide that as a group.
One Caveat: The clock does not run from 10pm-7am EST. So if team 5 makes a selection at 9pm then team 6 has until 2pm the next day (1 hour until 10pm then 7 hours after 7am.)

Second Caveat:  If you miss your pick and make everyone wait 8 hours, if you haven't made that next pick you will only have 2 hours for your next pick.  Once you are current on your picks, you will get a full 8 hours again.

Is anyone gonna pick?

[TheFuzz]

Deepest apologies, I'll need to bow out for another week, I'm running all over the place right now. I can either pick from scraps afterwords, or someone can replace me.

 

I suck, shame on my family.

I took half an hour deciding between him and Stanley. I think both have a chance to be really good. Nice pick.

Congrats to TheFuzz Bunnies!  You will have 2 hours on the clock for your next pick before you are skipped.  After a day or so, I'll take the next guy on that list.
