I am going to be out of the net until tomorrow morning (I don't expect my 15th to come up anytime soon anyway) but have given my pick to Mile High Mania and Rain Man. Mr MHM, please go with the original if the one I gave to both of you is taken.

Thank You

Damn, how can this take so long?

Seriously, Rain Man, can we take a vote that if you are behind one pick, then we move on even if another pick comes up? That way whenever the owner comes back, he can just make his picks instead of us all waiting around.

We tried that already and people didn't want to. He's got 4-5 more hours though.

Why don't we just drop it from 12 hours to 6... that would at least cut the wait time in half (although it'd still be slow, it would at the very least be an improvement)

Heh ... we did that in R9 I believe, it was a 24 hour clock if you can believe that...

Here's the deal, the clock expires in an hour and I have the pick for truebigdog... so, in an hour, the Kansas City Kings will be on the clock.

we should do it again...

Lead the charge, I'm online all the time, others don't have that luxury. I'm guessing since some may work 8+ hours and not have the benefit of logging on during the day, they won't go for it.

One challenge with lowering it further is that it'll put people at a disadvantage if they only log on at night. I think we need to keep it at 12 hours.

Has anyone timed how long it takes to complete a round? I guess we should be thinking about the timing relative to the rookie draft and the end of training camp.

Yo - Stallions has about 20 minutes left on the clock, nearly rounding out his full 24 hours. Let's just make the pick for truebigdog and move on.

Cool?

I dunno man. I work full time, work out for 2 hours a day, live in a fraternity house and have a g/f and I still have time to make picks, and even offer people tons of trades (that they always decline :( )

I feel like if they were invested more in the game they would be more apt to make their picks on time, but I could be wrong I guess...

It's a marathon, not a sprint... all I can say. Buckle up for the long haul.

Ok, the timer expired on Stallions... he's been up for nearly 24 hours, 17 minutes shy of the full 24 hours. I'm taking a gamble that he's not showing up in the next 17 minutes...

The Scorpions select... Ryan Kalil, C.

Kansas City Kings (Kyle) is on the clock, pm on the way.

Oh and you don't pick for another full round, I wouldn't even worry about this until Thursday... there's no way you or I are picking tomorrow, I'm also not in R15.

I'm wheelin and dealin trying to make trades. I'm still trying to change things from my team I inherited to get it the way I want...

I applaud it... and yeah, this draft is slow, but it is what it is... try not to get too frustrated with it.
