[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

We should be able to trade participants out if they are annoying us or lagging on picks

youre the no1 target for both those categories

 

[adelaidecrows]

and no player trading during or after the game?

I think we should have trading. Purely for those who miss out on the picking trends. Maybe keep it simple. 24 hours post drafting trade, can only be 1 for 1 trading. No 3 ways etcs.

I'm assuming I'm too late to get on this?

Nope. You're one of the greats
Any preference re trading of picks/positions/players before/during/after etc?

My preference has always been no trading of picks.

Or players?

 

[Freddy Bassett]

Trading isn’t fair when a player loses interest and does ridiculous trades. Buggers the game

was just gonna allow trading of placements pre game, but since thursday/friday, im a little attracted to the idea of being able to trade draft picks during the game and even players during/after the game.

i know it could get complicated, but people dont have to participate in any trades if they choose not too.

What you guys think, too complicated?

Also thinking bout either starting Mond: Dec 3rd or Frid Dec 7th.

No trading during the draft. Doesn't matter if you're not involved, the order changes and confusion reigns. I would be ok with trading pick orders (not individual picks) pre-draft, and a small window for trading players post draft.

Agreed, it's an absolute cluster**** when someone trades a pick, the player before them doesn't realize, tags the wrong person, and the wrong person then drafts a player in the wrong spot

 

[FAITH]

Fair enough.

If I decide on 18 players rather than 16, are you happy if we play with a 2hr time limit rather than the 3hrs to keep the game moving?

 

[Freddy Bassett]

If you have the numbers you need I am happy to miss out this year and do special comments

All good mate.
We've got 16 confirmed(which youre 1 of), just waiting for confirmation from 2 more guys, I'll give them to tmrw night.

I was only trying to be polite lol

Let's maybe also agree on a way to notify players of their pick that ISN'T just tagging them in the thread. I think BigFooty alerts are hopeless.

Each person could give the people before/after an alternative means of contacting them if they are running it of time. Would also alleviate the guilt of skipping someone if you feel like you’ve done all you can to let them know it’s their turn.

 

[FAITH]

2hrs between picks ok, or stick with 3?

 

[adelaidecrows]

2hrs between picks ok, or stick with 3?

Stick with 3. It can get hard for people working to check regularly enough. I actually see nothing wrong with a draft that's drawn out. It allows for research and tact changes.

 

[adelaidecrows]

I'm all for player and draft pick trading. Adds plenty of interest. But if people are worried about unfair trades because players have given up, perhaps those trades can be vetoed by the games organiser.

 

[Danger Zone]

Happy to change to 2 hrs or stay with 3. Would prefer no player trading though. It’s kinda messy/unnecessary and adversely impacts people who actually planned ahead on positions.

 

[Danger in Texas]

Yeah I’m happy with either 2 or 3, whatever others want. Doesn’t make too much of a difference for me

 

[Scorpus]

I'm usually pretty active so 2 hours is fine but it could be a struggle over the Christmas week
