*** OFFICIAL speed of draft commentary thread ***

[t.j 35]

I am thinking that the speed of the draft is pretty not too fast. Discuss.

Whadda ya mean. I've gotten a whole zero picks in today. I'm flyin'!

[Sisters of No Mercy 0]

First off, I'm in Korea.. And second, I'm checkin' this thing nearly every hour on the hour (except for when I'm sleeping). Went out to have a little fun tonight (it's Friday night over here, 2AM). Cut me a little fockin' slack, I've had to wait much longer for some folks than 3 piddly fockin' hours....

Quit defending yourself and make your pick!!!!! You have been very good so far with the draft despite the bad timing of the first round with respect to your schedule.

Thanks for not including my first pick, hoss...I was on vacation.

 

I'm gonna wait at least a half hour to see if anyone is intersted in trading up. But, don't worry, I will make my pick before I pass out...

[Zap 0]

With the exception of my trek into th wilderness, I think I've done very well, despite my number 2 ranking in time hogging. I was around for hours waiting onh lord13rahl before leaving that time. I think this wonderfull little research you did has exposed our most consistent culprit. LORD13RAHL If I recall correctly he works in front of a computer and has no issue with his boss or internet access. Thanks t.j. I was thinking of doing this, but snorkeling under the stars seemed a better option. Guess who's on the clock? Guess who's sittng in his hotel room waiting? I have two hours from this post to pick. Then. I don't know, but probly not until mos of you are sleeping.

 

That being said, just remember we were facing not starting until the 27th or later. So, despite the lags and frustration, we're way ahead. Relax. Have a Mai Tai, go for a swim, enjoy a sunset.

Down to 73. BOO-YAH!!!

Man, that 448 is harsh! eek! Not only did I try to get a list volunteer, that was from midnight to 7:something am! I want my under 10 rating!!!!

[t.j 35]

I can't help but notice I am stuck between two of the slowest frafters. If Ayatollah didn't keep making picks at ~3am my time I'd have a much faster average.

t.j, has the new "code" made it possible to easily do columns? Or did you have to manually adjust those?

It was real easy. I copied it from an Excel sheet to notepad. Made the tabs line up in notepad then just copied it into the post and submitted!

Excellent. Seemed no matter what I tried in the past, it always came down to add spaces or underscores to make stuff line up.

everyone else is slowing us down

[lord13rahl 0]

slow shmo....

you guys act like you have something better to do. I check this board all day, but it seems to do bad luck, that the very few periods of normal life that bring me up from my computer...then my pick comes in. We wil be done in plenty of time, and I for one like it going a bit slow...gives us sometime to see how these late picks are coming thru in preseason. The trouble with drafting so early in the season, is that you do not know who is winning what job. with the elite players it is a given, but with borderline players...AMos, Hambrick...and so on..I am glad I had some extra time to see who is winning what job. Now, if was 3 days before the draft...then put your worry hats on..otherwise, grab a tall cold one, dream about Britney spears kissing J-Lo and keep up the chatter. I am very happy with this league so far...

[Diesel07 0]

dam, where the focks RLLD at? I made my pick around 3:00 pm eastern time.

[lord13rahl 0]

besides these are very inaccurate time rates....most of my picks that cam to me during the day, were responded fairly quickly...I had a overnighter..that I still picked first thing in the morning....

man this is focking getting out of hand. People need to speed this up! It's been stuck on RLLD since about 4:00 pm eastern time yesterday

[t.j 35]

All I know is that I've changed my two-player draft board since I got on deck about 8 times.

[teddyt 0]

I think we've got a new 'leader' in the Average Time to Draft Sweepstakes!

[Diesel07 0]

OMG, this gots to hurry up

[Sisters of No Mercy 0]

HELL YA, YA'LL!! We're actually getting some good movement today...wasn't sure if I'd get to 8.9 today. The way things have been moving, I might even get to 9.4!

 

Dare I hope.... eek!

[Sisters of No Mercy 0]

Wow...4 picks made while I slept. So much for the light at the end of the tunnel.

What a comeback...I'm movin' down the list!!!!!!

[RLLD 3,588]

But, Zap and Pik should be outliers in this analysis.....

[teddyt 0]

And I thought that the going was slow last week!!!!

 

Sorry...I just have to vent some frustration at the speed (or lack there of it) that this draft is moving along at...

 

Although after reading an earlier post, it does appear that Ayatollah is in Vegas at the present time, so he may have a good excuse...

[RLLD 3,588]

No kidding, if I know I am going to be away, I will dens a goddam list.....
