So what you're saying is, you were willing to enforce the rules on others, but not on yourself?

Nice.

Re: Beta Dynasty - DISCUSSION

anyway, galactic aint willing to back down over this nate clements pick.

sleepy's on the clock and if he misses it he will be "conditionally" given isaac bruce but only if the person after him has made their pick or missed their deadline too. which would mean both people can change their pick if the third person hasnt made a pick (30 hrs later). and if they too miss the deadline, then all four people can change their deadline pick if the fifth person hasnt made their own pick 40 hrs later.

cool

Not cool.

If Galactics threat is the sole reason youve backed down, thats a joke.

galactic assured me in PM he wouldnt quit no matter what. i decided to give them who they want because it wont affect the draft itself for now. it doesnt bode well for the future necessarily any time some other issue pops up. and AE will notice this too and take it on board.

Re: Beta Dynasty - DISCUSSION

it's worth noting that when the deadline pick is someone like bruce, galloway or gabriel, people put up a stink. when it's tom brady, tony romo, or greg jennings, or even gostkowski, people wont put up a stink.

If you're truely making the decision because you think its the right thing to do, and not because you're bowing to pressure, than so be it, i wont argue with you.

You've got to be aware that its your own credibility thats being damaged though, given you made the edict a few days ago.

Which is funny, because i really dont see the big deal about having Bruce at this stage. He'll retire soon enough and be replaceable.

TBH, it was a bigger issue in the first round than it is now. Your first round pick can set the tone for your whole team. One pick now isnt going to make or break.

i aint bowing to anything. if someone wants to leave they can. i wont/cant stop them. and their behavior in comps and participation in the board overall is always being observed. some people already have a tarnished reputation now. people ought to be mindful of that when they show interest in other comps.

i just think right now it's useless arguing any more about it. the deadlines i guess are never gonna be adhered to whilever it's someone they dont like, and people will always find excuses like "i was sick, i was drunk, i had an emergency, but the next person didnt pick yet"....or.....just the idea that we're all supposedly helping each other get thru the draft and theres no need to even force deadlines anymore as the draft draws nearer to round 34....and trying to always maintain good relations between everyone in the comp.

instead, right now, it's like cabin fever. and that ought to stop.

i honestly believe now we've created our own "madden curse" but in reverse. guys like galloway, bruce and even gabriel, i believe now, are gonna have great fantasy seasons in 2008, and it'll be funny in hindsight.

tho i should probably make a rule that people who rejected their deadline pick are not allowed to sign them to their team EVER. just to rub it in.

Re: Beta Dynasty - DISCUSSION

Jesus Christ. I go out for one night and all this happened.. :eek:

sleepy's on the clock and if he misses it he will be "conditionally" given isaac bruce but only if the person after him has made their pick or missed their deadline too..
Im confused.. im not on the clock atm?

First of all, how the hell can you all sling shit at gg about all of this? This league would be no where near where it is atm without his constant help pushing us forward.. ANYWAY moving on.

So am i the only commish atm? ok whatever. So what were the two final rulings on Galactic's and Juddy's picks?
And, lets organise another draft session, to finish the draft off and stop all this bitching. Anyone got some suggestions for times?

Re: Beta Dynasty - DISCUSSION

Sorry, i got it wrong, shifty was up when i said that ^

and the final ruling is haynesworth and clements.
from now on, basically, people have a 'deadline' of 10 hrs, but they 'can' change the ESPN pick 'IF' the next person hasn't made their own pick.
where it gets confusing is what happens when two people miss their deadlines in a row, and both get given ESPN picks, like the juddy-galactic thing, and i guess both can change it if the third person hasnt made their own pick.
confusing because....

what happens if the the third person hasnt made his pick yet, then the first person logs on before the second and third person, says "sorry i want x instead of y", so they get it changed, then say the third person logs in and makes their OWN pick, and then not 5 mins later the second person logs in, and says "hang on, why was the first person allowed to change their pick but not me, i only logged in 5mins after the third person, i should be able to change my pick just like the first person was"

that's where it gets all muddied because people bend rules and will expect them to be bent again in that ^ example.

personally, i wish we could've stuck true to the strict rule put in place only days ago, but now, i dunno. probably everyone lets everyone bend the rules just out of amicableness to get the draft finished asap and cutting people some slack for being late anything from 10 hrs+

i dunno.

Simply enough don't let it get past the next limit... ie if 1 person misses the deadline, then the next, then the first person can't change it. Thats a 10 hour pick change limit and a 20 hour total limit.

You only have until the next missed deadline to change your first pick.
