I vote for number three.
I would rather give people a chance to correct mistakes and have the league start a week later, than rush this through and have resentment within the league.
If I made a mistake, and was not allowed time to correct it, I would become pretty bitter and counterproductive in this league.....So rather a window of opportunity to correct accidental mistakes.
I say if the draft board has been updated, then number 1, but if it hasnt been updated, then 2. they should be somewhat responsible for double checking who has and hasnt been drafted
I vote for 4, I am not sure what the big deal is. I mean it's not like your subscription is running out.

It's not about patience, it's about a product that I bought that I'm still waiting for.

24 hours is patience -
<font size="3" face="Sylfaen, Verdana, Helvetica">Hmmm I wouldn't call 31 exactly my teenage years. I just think it's bull that someone can't even look at a list of the drafted players, which just happens to COME UPwhen you click on the message to add your own pick. As for beening pissed off at the league for continuing on because you were the moron who couldn't look at that list your just as sad as someone who sues a company because your HOTcoffee was too hot. You need to grow up and learn that your choices have consequences and to grow some balls and own up to them.Quote:

<font size="3" face="Sylfaen, Verdana, Helvetica">That is what I was talking about, your subscription really does not start until the games start. Everyone should have known that it was going to be a while until the games started.Quote:

<font size="3" face="Sylfaen, Verdana, Helvetica">I really think you just need to calm down and take a look at it from the other side. Even though it seems you never make any mistakes, calling people names for being human is rather childish.Quote:

<font size="3" face="Sylfaen, Verdana, Helvetica">Not sure maybe you forgot, but this is just a game. I hope this is now how the majority of the league feels about this issue. If it is then I guess it was a bad move to be a part of it.Quote:

I say wait for Lundergaard to fix his pick before moving on. Then from that point on if everyone knows you have 24 hours after you are on the clock i am fine with that. But for the current situation I say have patience and wait for him to get back on. Given what I have read about the current situation I have no problem waiting a little bit.
I changed my mind, my vote goes for 1. At this rate the calender year will change before we finish.
I say we treat an invalid pick as no pick at all. Did we agree on a time limit for picks? If it was 48 hours, and somebody makes an invalid pick after 24 hours, then they have another 24 hours before their time runs out.
I say #4... A little patience never hurt anyone...
3 for me

whatever... i just want to get my picks in then relax till pick 111. was a pretty silly mistake tho
3
I agree with the suggestion to give him time for the correction and then 24 hrs going forward
Z - do you think about anyone but yourself?
Moses also paid for this league, if we as a group screw him over then he has been ripped off by a lot of selfish people who don't have the courtesy to wait a few hours or a few days.
Tengu - chill.... as a 31 year old you are even worse. You're taking this way too seriously. It is, after all, only a game.
I would like to put this out there to a vote, in case this situation comes up again.
If someone takes a player that was already drafted what should we do?
1. Keep going immediately, if someone has their pick ready they can pick. You screwed up not the league own up to your mistake. You can make your corrected pick immediately though.
2. Wait 6-8 hours for a correction.
3. Wait 24 hours on a correction.
4. Wait until how ever long it takes for a correction.
My choice is #1 for the obvious reason is that there should be a level of accountablity in this league. It's no one's fault but your own. You shouldn't get any kind of a break because the responsibility is yours alone to make sure you are getting your pick right.

I vote for the first one. If I draft a player who has been claimed already, feel free to skip me and I will fix it when I can.
I have patience, and I believe rather strongly in "fair play" and "goodwill"...
BUT I think with the drfat everyone involved SHOULD be paying enough attention to see what's going on, and who's been taken. you claim someone that's already on a roster. It shouldn't hold up the rest of the league.
It should be on your time you get aorund to fixing your problem.
So be it if you decide to go on vaction for a week after making that mistake and get back with 50 picks having been made.
1. - added for TC

2. People should have a grace period if they make a mistake.
just one thing balrog, im not disagreeing with anything youve said except ...
its just a game, it is just a game but how much people value the game is going to be different to each person some people will value this game as much as anything that happens through the rest of their life
<font size="3" face="Sylfaen, Verdana, Helvetica">Well, for me it comes down to fairplay.....people make dumb mistakes all the time, although it is easy to say that they shouldnt. Every once in a while people release some player they didnt mean to, and post on the messageboard saying it was a mistake, and politely asking people not to bid on that player....I honor this request, others dont. Guess it just comes down to personal moral standards.Quote:

4. Though 3 once this is sorted, but add it to the rules so everyone knows.
Just say Lundergaard keeps track of the players already picked by player ID. Read the entire rules post and check pick #3. And also, can we lose the signatures for the draft picks? As rule 2 says "We do not want this to become cluttered with anything other than each teams pick data."
