why bother being in the league then?
a list is a list. you rank the players from your #1 choice to you last choice. It doesnt change based on who gets picked at all.
I mean making a pick in 15 minutes isn't a priority for most people. We have an eight hour window, and some guys are freaking out when someone takes more than 20 minutes to make a pick. God forbid someone has a job, or kids, or wants to boot up the program to take a look. Damn.
Also, it DOES change based on who gets picked; if I'm looking at getting a SS later because they're lots of depth at that position that I think will last, but then there's a big run on it, that might change my strategy towards waiting to take one if there's a guy I want. I might take him now and then grab something else later, rather than risk him not being there when it gets around to me again because I thought said depth would last. You can't tell other people how to draft or how their draft strategy should be built. There's a reason that the game heavily uses the "and/or" strategy in the draft list.
i've got 2 jobs, a wife and 2 kids. i dont want to hear that bullshit. its guys right to take the full 8 hours if thats their choice. but stop with the fucking "priorities" garbage.
you join the league, you have an obligation to the other 29 guys. plain and simple. Same with scheduling NDL games. you know about that right?
not for one second do i think I'm more important than anyone else in the league thus i will do my best to get my pick in in a timely manner.
stop making excuses and make a pick. its pretty simple
I'm fairly certain that the draft has an 8 hour pick deadline, and that the draft itself is still like a week or two away, yes?
And I'm also fairly certain that on that day, we will hold a live draft for the remainder of that draft, yes?
If so, then I'm really not sure what the "obligation" is that people are breaking by taking a few hours to make their pick. You will get your first round pick in before we get to the draft, and your supplemental, and your second round, and probably your THIRD round, at the pace we are going. With or without 30 people sending in a list.
I made my picks. I had a list ready. But I stayed in contact w Reign to make my picks when the time comes. My point is, I'm not going to harp on others for taking a few hours when Reign has clearly stated that we have an 8 hour window, so I'm really not seeing what the big deal is.
