CSBC Inaugural Draft Discussion Thread

[MiamiHomer]

Yeah, I made my pick through my iphone in hopes to speed up the picking because I wasn't going to get home till 7 but I'm guessing PWG and Swift have been busy.

[THE_REAL_MIBS]

I feel like we're being held hostage.

Yeah, more or less... tonight was my mom's birthday and Swift had an exam to study for. We'll move the times to tomorrow.

CrimsonCane said that Mainge was auto'd last round. Can we get his pick so we can move this along? The draft feels like it's come to a grinding halt.

[Fishfan79]

off to crash then was staying up on off chance my pick would come up tonight, but sleep would be good after midterm today and no sleep for 2 days

[MiamiHomer]

I don't think there is a need to auto Mainge tonight. If he hasn't picked in the morning than I think he could auto him but doing it this late is pretty pointless since everyone else is off.

[THE_REAL_MIBS]

He's had all day. Literally. I thought we had a 3 hour rule. What are the odds that he's going to pick tomorrow? I just don't want to have this problem again tomorrow.

[MiamiHomer]

And PWG has already stated what happened as to why hi and Swift weren't here. I'm sure there won't be an issue tomorrow. Why not just give Mainge an extra few hours because everyone else is sleeping. Mainge has been active throughout the draft and it's odd that he has to miss the last round so who knows.

[PitchingWinsGames]

No, MBA is right, here... I'll auto/handle lists as far as I have... anyone still up can make their picks between here and there... and then I'll crash

Sorry. I picked

[THE_REAL_MIBS]

Sorry. I picked

No problem. Sorry if I came off as a little impatient. It wasn't really directed at you. It just seems that the draft comes to a grinding halt at times. I've also had a long week so that may make me a little edgy.

[PitchingWinsGames]

That's understandable, but Swift and I often find ourselves busy too. I mean, realistically most owners can just drop their pick and leave, whereas one or both of Swift and I have to stick around and do our thing... it's not the most fun or easiest thing there is.

This isn't a pity-party or anything, just saying that there are likely going to be times where something like this happens. That being said, we're still doing a good job making time and all, especially with the 2 rounds a day system.

I know you and Swift have lives, too and other things come up and I'm sure I speak for the rest of the owners in saying that we appreciate what you guys do.

I just wish more people would use lists. I try to keep tabs on the draft order so I can make my own picks but I also have sent in lists when I'm afraid I won't be around for my pick. I really think the lists make it easier on everyone; you and Swift for not having to scroll through the list of available guys, the team owner so they can make sure they get a player that they want or need and the rest of the owners so we can keep the draft moving.

/end monologue

[Swifty]

Yeah guys and gal, sorry, I had a midterm, it was a trainwreck, we all went out to get hammered after. C'est la vie
--------------------
And, executive decision, Mainge gets to 11 AM tomorrow to pick otherwise he's auto'd to keep this process going.

HOWEVER, THE 3 HOUR RULE IS STILL SUSPENDED.

[Mainge]

It's cool. I promise I haven't had a good week, either so I know where your coming from. My mind hasn't exactly been on OOTP lately and I apologize for not having a list. PWG has my instructions for the rest of the draft so I don't hold it up again.
