Some of the picks might take a while... take a look at some of the dates for last year's picks.
You might use your time to establish some kind of plan for your picks - like a top 3 or 4 for each position... just a dumbass suggestion to occupy your time while you wait for others.
I felt the same way several times last season - maybe I'll keep stats of the slowest draft-pickers to motivate better responses.....
MarquisEXB
1st pick - N/A
GlassJoe
1st pick - 19 minutes
doveRBI
1st pick - 22 minutes
Mets_bs
1st pick - 2 Hours
fknmclane
1st 2 picks - 19 hours
YES! I lead the league in quickest to pick! YES!
Honestyl I just spend the last 2 hours fucking playing fucking dominos while drinking with my inlaws. playing dominos with them but drinking myself. i expect that f'ing mclane would make picks during that span but no. that ass needs to come home and pick. mclane!!!!!
If you know you will be away for a while, send me your next 3-5 picks (in order of who you want the most) and I will probably be able to post your next pick - may help keep the peace here.
I am picturing Mets_bs with his pick already typed in a response, the arrow over the "post" button; hovering, waiting for fknmclane's posts - who can get the quickest pick?
The time it takes fknmclane to make his post will be the absolute limit, and will replace the 24-hour limit.
The draft should take about 3 days... at the longest. If you can't make a pick in the alloted time, send your top 3 or 5 choices to me and if I'm not at work, I will be able to post them for you (top 3 or 5 in case someone takes your first choices).
I won't be around tommorow from about 10am to about 7pm, so it won't do any good then. This computer is always on, and I have this page up, so I can view it everytime I walk by - I check it often... do what you have to do to post your picks... I will do my best to help.
Well I have a top 3 of who I want to pick, so as soon as fucking mclane gets his pick in I can get mine.
I think 18 hours is an all-time record now. The 24-hour period is ridiculous - I'm dropping it to 8. If you know you won't be able to make a pick in that time, send ME your picks. If I am backed up, just keep sending them to me. It's ridiculous for someone to be online, waiting for someone else to make a pick. I can sort this shit out, if you give me your choices. Make them as complicated as you want - with circumstances; however you would intend to draft.
Ok this is getting looney. Mclane honestly spends more time on here than anyone and the three of us rice, bs, and me are sitting here waiting for him.
SO what happens if Fucker doesn't make his picks in time, does J.Rice make them or does he forfeit the pick like in the NFL.
It will remain blank until the end of the draft, then he gets the worst player available.
Or the group decided which player he should get... I'm surprised it has taken fker so long; he's usually on top of stuff, but it's the hollidays... hope nothing bad happened.
Guys, I am SO sorry. I went out last night to celebrate New Year's and got hammered. I obviously wasn't on the computer for many hours and I truly apologize. I didn't mean to hold up the draft. Let's try and bang out what we can right quick. Again, I'm terribly sorry.
All this Mclane bashing--he wasn't even awake to respond.
This might not have been the best week to have a draft.
I have to apologize again. I feel sooooo bad. Glad to see I was missed, though. Did I mention I got royally shitfaced last night? That should count for something, right? Today is my buddy's birthday but I can't go out for New Year's because it's hard to get a sitter. So we celebrated last night at the bar two blocks from my house, The Dubliner. I hadn't been there in about five months because my wife banned me after too many drunken escapades. Needless to say, it felt good to be back at my watering hole. DEE-NEE!
You should not feel bad at all. We are just giving you a hard time. Obviously we are proud of you for getting hammered and passing out. Well done mclane. I was drunk last night too and throuroughly enjoyed using the first part of your name many times.
That's probably the best excuse to not make a post--that and puking on your keyboard.

What else do you have to do? Drink, suffer family interaction? :)
No mclane bashing... just bashing the draft neglect... we'll all get over it; probably already have.
Yeah, no big deal. I was just anxious to get on with the draft.
I know the feeling; it just gets a little frustrating when you log on, expecting for it to be your turn, but you find out you still have like 3 picks to go... maybe that's part of the fun/excitement - a little over-stated maybe.
I just love being able to do two picks in a row, even though I picked last. By the way, I am fucking stoked with my team so far. Then again, we're only through three or four rounds.
I had the last pick in the last league, and I agree that making two picks in a row is awesome. I managed to put together a kickass team, although they did choke something fierce in the Series. I'll have to get in on the third fantasy league.
I still think that series was a fluke - the team you had was the most dominant force of the regular season
That will probably be an improvement for next season, or if the owners of Season II all decide to do it... Season I opinions are valuable though.
Season I opinions in this thread are 2-1 in favor of the 2-pick process.
Nooo, I wasn't in favor of 2 picks per round; I'm against that. I had the last pick in the first round, though, so whenever I made a pick I had another one to make right away because of the serpentine draft order.
I was thinking about the "2-pick process after the 4th round idea" - to speed up the process...
I mapped out prospective picks... with back-ups, so it would have worked well for me - MOST people don't though, so you're right that it's a pain in the ass.
1) I thought about producing a random order for each individual round
2) I considered giving the first members to sign up the first picks.
These might be good ideas for next season, but I think I should have attempted an improvement for this season... mistake #1
No I am totally opposed to the 2pick. I just think that for the next draft we need to set a time and meet up here and do it all in one shot. By the way how many games are in the reg season of this thing.

I might set up a poll to see how many everyone wants to do... we did 8 games per team last season, but I'm open to 16 or 24 as well... up to you guys - I'm hoping to leave stuff up to the group, since I am just the "organizer"... think about it though.
Of course we are all here but f'in mclane.
I'm back baby! I'm back! Drank 20+ beers yesterday. Just woke up.
You are making me proud mclane.
